Woke up early, prepared my work area for making an arch for my niece's wedding. Wife doesn't like my thoughts on it, but that's nothing new.

Right now, I found a way to make the couch more comfortable (wasn't allowed to choose the couch, so got stuck with one that is uncomfortable as all hell, and hurts my spine). So I can sleep with my cats. Spine and food (GERD) is trying to kill me, though, but that's nothing new.

Ooph! you need a win!

I'm glad your working on a passion project, how did you design your Arch?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've got three ideas, but all using the same basic foundation. Four legs, two walls, and a removeable top piece (if lucky, a rounded arch, if not, a triangular arch. Depending on the kinds of branches I can find. Sort of a half desert, grassland, around here, so not a great location for wood hunting. ).

This is my first choice for the sides

That looks nice. Glad your putting such thought into it

Oh, that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. I've got plans to incorporate a plaque that can be hung on a wall afterwards, that will use elements of both her grandpa, great uncle, and this uncle, heh. I've got my part figured out, just need to finish the other two..and I think I just got my dad's figured out. He was known for growing russian olives, and there's only a few branches left...I could carve a heart in a cross section, and place one of my claws in side of it...That's what I'll do...Now just one more...For our great uncle...We'll be heading to his farm to find something next week. 🤞

Wow, thats really personal! Glad you incorporated a little bit of everyone. I'm sure it will be a big hit.
