New Tools, Continuing Upholstry and No More Room

I got tools from Rio Grande this afternoon.

new tools

Clockwise from the top. Ring mandrel – very pleased with the quality and heft. Parallel pliers – thank you Sarah L. for getting me addicted to those expensive little dears. Raw hide mallet for banging on metal. Ring clamp for holding onto things and not sanding my fingers, and a pair of tiny pointy snips for getting into tight spaces.

But there is no way that I’ll be doing any work at the bench for the next couple of days.

there's a bench under there somewhere

I have to finish the patio furniture cushions first. (They are gonna be great!)
