It’s hot outside, which means it’s hot in the shop. Really hot. below is the temperature and humidity gauge I keep on my table saw fence. Yes that’s 96.4 degrees and it’ snot even the hottest part of the day. I don’t have AC, but I do keep a dehumidifier running in the shop so at least it’s only 37% humidity (versus 53% in the house and 88% outside).

In spite of all the heat, I made a lot of progress. below is a gallery of all the parts that will come together. The slab stood up for the first time and you can see it stands by itself. You can picture the slab and base sitting on top of the drawer and case. You can also imagine the map in the map drawer in the base. Hopefully, my next post will be a completed clock.



The map goes in the drawer the drawer goes in the base

And this sits on top of it all.
