A day of framing at Bradford Woodworking

Today, I took a drive out to Bradford Woodworking for a day of power tools and wood working. I’m seriously in my glory right now. It’s been a dream of mine to do more things with wood, like build anything. Just the smell of cut wood is enough to make me drool. Then add in the fact that I’m being taught by a master woodworker ,and I think my head will explode. But, I have to hold it together, because Bradford Woodworking was gracious enough to donate some wood and the use of their wood shop for creating some mock up frames to be used for the kids’ photographs in the gallery. Our hope is to keep costs down by using reclaimed wood in order to frame the kids’ photographs. So that is why I’m really out here. Working with wood and tools is just an awesome perk.

As I type this post, I’m waiting for the glue to dry on the frames in order to go on to the next step. This is all so exciting!

Be sure to check out Bradford Woodworking at their site to get an idea of the awesome things they make out of wood. http://www.bradfordwoodworking.com

Wandering in the woods

Sometimes you just need to get out of the house and take a walk. Whether it’s around the block or in the woods, fresh air does you a lot of good. I highly recommend it when you are able. Don’t sit behind that desk anymore! Get outside and enjoy the weather. I took a short hike the other day, and here are two shots I found during my time on the trail.

My Philadelphia

Today, while sitting in the living room relaxing on my first Saturday off since wedding season started, Kamil and I were drawn outside by some street fighting. It wasn’t a street brawl; it was a boxing match, literally. Two guys on our block occasionally break out the gloves and start knocking each other around. So, I grabbed my camera and joined the rest of our neighbors for a good show. It was all for sport, so even though this is a city, and sometimes arguments come to blows, remember, this is the City of Brotherly Love… My Philadelphia.
