Happy birthday to me

Today is my birthday. Yesterday my daughters plus their husbands / boyfriend came for a surprise dinner. Also their gift, a very nice bench vise was much appreciated.

Not much work done today.  First planed down one board from 20 to 16 mm.
Next I ripped this board under an angle  for the sheer and straight for the stringers.

Bit difficult to handle the 4 meter board on my own. 

I clamped one stringer to the backbone what was rather more difficult than expected. Maybe western red cedar does not bend that well.

Tomorrow is an other day.  Let's party.
