The other day I fitted the countertop and made a template for the sink, marking it out I left the job of cutting it out for the day after. So next morning I find my cook top being ready for pick up. Great then I can cut both wholes today, I was thinking.

Dear Lord, I nearly killed Georgie my Jig Saw. Turns out she could barely handle the hard wood which in turn demanded more of me than I had easily available. So after Georgie and I had fought our way through the whole for the sink I couldn’t bear the thought of the 2nd and bigger whole the same way. I did the corners with Georgie and put Stella my Skillet Saw on the job for the straits. That wasn’t child’s play either, of cause. Trying to sink the blade down from the top it grabs and kind of wants to kick back. And did so in 2 instances creating gouges, one of which would be showing. This was leaving my sense of perfectionism in disgust. I packed up for the day, played a few tunes on Lenea that is my Harp, and took myself and Indi home (for those who haven’t meet Indi yet she’s my K9 side kick).

Some time in between getting home and setting back out the next morning I remembered what Roger taught me while we were building my harp, to mix wood glue with sawdust to fill gaps with. Proceeding thus I filled the gouge, sanded and polished the whole countertop and it looks actually just fine, could have been any of the character marks of old wood.
