It’s Father’s Day today. Right now, I’m at my dad’s house in Michigan, sitting at the base of a massive tree I climbed when I was a kid. The weather is perfect; a gentle breeze, no humidity, and full sun. In a few hours, kids will be in constant giggles, pool water will be splashing, and a distance competition between the smell of grilled food and the sound of an acoustic guitar will commence. Life is great today, and I hope yours is as well.

Rewind to a few days before making this trip and a few more items on the busy list. Having a productive day in the shop was a requirement, so I decided to record it. Not all shop time is structured project content for YouTube. Sometimes it’s just a matter of grabbing a marble from a full bag and seeing which one you get. Lots to do, so little time.

Have a great day today, and if you have a father figure in your life, be sure to thank him.
