Today was a good day. I had some help with the firewood again, and we got the trailer topped off then unloaded it into the bunk. I was talked into moving the wood splitter back into the service yard where a piece that is split can be put straight into the bunk after, rather than into the trailer and then unloaded in another arduous task.
My help left after we unloaded, and I got the splitter moved after. I also ran into town and got milk and bread and half & half, and a temporary pin to replace one that was missing on the three-point hitch on the tractor. I got the wrong size, so it is definitely temporary.
I made supper, then got back to work. This time I went out to the wood that has been cut and stacked as lumber and collected a piece to start preparing it for the rabbit hutch. It was pretty bad as far as thickness goes, so I have a lot to remove manually before putting it into the planer. It is way out of whack. But when it is done it will make some fine sides to support the wire hutch.
I worked on the piece of wood for a while. as it is pretty good sized, and I was using it as a practice piece to learn how to do a scooped finish on the surface of the wood as I have got a good plane that does that. It is a plough plane, and has a scooped blade for taking out a lot of material. I think to get a good finish, I would want to plane a board flat and then do the scooping strokes.
It was a good day because I never hurt, which is so rare for me. It is enough to say that. Now it is time for bed!
