Default Texas "Hill Country" woodworking ... or working to an 1/8th on a nippy Texas morning.

About the only foundation crew I would ever let into my shop:

All diagonals measured to an 1/8th, or less, bubbles split the lines, and
more accurate woodworking, dimension wise, than many cabinet projects I've
seen.

... and what a gorgeous morning if you must need be out of the shop!


....pretty heavy duty...that's #6 bar in there, if my eyes aren't too
bad today. I worked foundations for awhile and I ended-up the
carpenter responsible...every morning we checked the work of the
previous day and every evening the work completed *that*
day...redundancy is not a bad thing, especially when the framing
contractor searched me out to shake my hand. And you guys know,
errors in foundation, if not corrected by the framer, cause chaos all
the way out...AFA the wonderful morning, my time in Mineral Wells
taught me that Texas is NOT always warm; I kinda liked it!
