Shaping Up

We nearly completed all of the sheathing today before running out of material.  Remaining to be done are the loft walls and porch roof. Maya has learned to properly use use all of the tools we have been using on the project including a number of saws (miter saw, band saw, circular saw, hand pull saw, oscillating saw, jigsaw). She has been reluctant, however, to use the table saw having been injured by a kickback when she was younger. Today she got back in the saddle cutting a few simple pieces.  Kickback is no joke. When I was working on a project many years ago a kickback from the same saw shot a piece of wood through the wall of my shop. This only has to happen once before you learn not to stand directly behind the blade.
