Today, I’m finishing up 10 mahogany awning windows I fabricated for a contemporary house in New England. The tools I’ve got on my table this afternoon include:

• Fein MultiMaster MSxe 636 II
• Rigid R2600 5″ R.O. Sander
• 1″ Chisel – (I bought in a hardware store in Prague)
• 2″ Purdy XL-Glide Brush
• X-I-M Primer
• 3″ Foam Poly-Brush(es)
• Klean-Strip Wood Bleach
• …and a slew of Sikkens products

The windows are being stained on the interior faces and painted with an exterior primer on all other sides.

I made these windows last week. While the pieces passed from mahogany stock into precisely milled, custom sized awning sashes I thought of how I’ve neglected this website lately and how I always wanted to just write a quick list of a task and what I’m putting to use to complete it.

Today there are just a 1/2-dozen quality weapons of choice in action. I hope to have an article for each tool I include in any subsequent journal entries such as this one.

Have a nice day, my lunch is over and I’ve got to get back to the sanding so I can bleach the interior faces before nightfall.

Maybe I neglected to mention a vital tool on this location:

• Logitech AudioStation
• iPod Touch
