Chain Link





Chain Link Shadows, digital photo
This is a massaged photo of a chain link fence casting shadows on a concrete walk. I took it a couple of years ago when I was working on the New Mexico Rail Runner project. The black at the bottom adds ballast and allows a space to see the after image of the link pattern above.

Tall Chest of Drawers





Drawer Fronts and Drawer Sides

Today I finished up the drawer sides and cut the hand holes in the drawer fronts.  I'm ready to cut the dovetail joints.  I have given up trying to get my Sears dovetail jig to do what I want.  I'm throwing it away.  Tomorrow or Monday I'll get a Porter Cable jig at Woodworkers Supply.

Tomorrow, Sunday, Cathy and I are going up to Santa Fe to see the Gee's Bend Quilts at the Museum of International Folk Art.

Central Avenune Rail Road Underpass

Central Avenue Rail Road Underpass, digital photo
I've driven through this underpass many times, but I had an occassion to walk through it last Tuesday, when I took these photos.  Built in 1937, it has some modest Art Deco features.  It marks the exact center of Albuquerque, New Mexico.  The tracks overhead go north and south.  The tracks mark the line from which addresses east and west are numbered.  Central Avenue running east and west marks the line from which addresses are numbered north and south.
