More chairs

I got all of the parts cut out for another chair. I got a special order from my niece to make a chair for her new daughter. I hope to have it done by Thanksgiving.

I wasn't happy with how the back of the chairs came out when I bent them. I used a pot and boiled the slats before I tried to bend them. This time I built a steam box to steam the parts before I bend them. We will see how that works.

Boat is almost done.

Over the last couple of weeks I got the second motor into the boat, all of the hoses and cables connected and the mufflers installed. All that is left to do is to make sure none of the hoses touch the mufflers and install the air cleaners.

When everything is installed I am going to store the boat for the winter, and test it in the spring.

Two in the tree.

This morning we had an osprey and a great blue heron trying to rest on the same branch in the tree. The osprey left.

Mega Maze

On Sunday the neighbors went to the Davis Farmland Corn Maze (a maize maze). We had coupons that let us get in for half price. This maze is designed by the famous maze designer Adrian Fisher. The maze is very large and very complex.

There are 10 bridges in the maze, one of them a double-decker. Under the bridges are spots where you can take a rubbings of a special tokens. There are also games, puzzles and playground equipment in the maze.

We wandered through the maze for about an hour and a half, and finally asked for direction out of the maze. We got lost following the directions and had to ask again. After another 15 minutes made it out of the maze and received our mega-maze victory coin.
