Treasure Tray

A few weeks in the making, it arrived today. I'd requested it for a selection of tiny treasures i found in a big arroyo at the foot of the Sandias. How did a deposit of tiny shells get in that arroyo?

SR Shelves

Efforts to bring the Smirket Room (SR) online as a maker space took a major leap forward w the addition of Eric Montoya's custom-crafted shelves.

Eric is a retired engineer from Sandia Labs. He has extensive experience in all aspects of residential construction and has a complete wood-working shop. This, his latest contribution, helps maximize storage for boxes of  small items.

Joinery you'd expect from an engineer.

 Finished plywood with a facing.

Two removable shelves made it easier to move the unit into place.

Finished plywood adds a higher level of aesthetic appeal.

Now I guage the time of remaining temperate temps by the sun's morning position on the Sandia Mountains. That hump to the right (south) of the tree beyond the wall is a marker.

Then the wildlife stops by for breakfast...

And departs
