Duck Pen Completed
Sunday, November 17, 2013
Duck Pen Distraction.
Instead of working on the shelves I had to take a break and get a pen built for ducks. Was planning something smaller, but kept re-thinking what I wanted. Dug out about 25 tons of dirt to get the ground level. Put back in 1 ton of gravel. It's a 9'x 8' x 20'.
Getting close to being done. Got rained out this evening so I'll finish the front wall & door tomorrow. Then just attach the fence.
Ducks will now be close to the studio if I need a quick reference shot or someone to sketch.

Shelves in progress
Have the wood cut and stained. Now need to get them put together. Decided to router out the grooves for the shelves. It will take a bit longer overall, but will make for stronger better shelves. Hopefully next week!

Hughes Easel is here.
Got my Hughes 4000 easel in its new home today. It's an incredible easel! Look forward to working with it.
Very high quality workmanship by Don Andrews in Punta Gorda, FL.
Mine is a Hughes 4000 made from walnut. Check out his easels at http://www.hugheseasels.com
Don is an excellent craftsman and designer. Very nice to have been able to meet and talk to him in his shop. He goes way above and beyond to make these easels the best.
3 pieces to assemble.

Lights are on. Door is installed.
Playing around with some ideas with the lighting. I like the idea of being able to change the color to see how it influences the final painting. Using LED lights. 3 5000k daylight & 3 5000k daylight with the ability to change the color.
Door is installed!
Have the walls primed and the paint ordered. I'm going with the brightest white that Sherwin-Williams makes. Need 15 gallons so it won't be here until Friday.
