Cutting Board For Ms Williams
Williams
As I get information passed down to me from Dwight Williams I use a graphics program to draw out the block diagrams as I understand it from his input. These are all subject to change and re-formatting before the final charts are completed.

Halloween BOO Letters
I had a lot of walnut scraps let over from the coffee table that I made recently so I put together a number of pieces to mae the BOO letters that are hung together.
The original letters were bought by Janet from a Gradinroad catalog and I traced those on a 1/4 inch piece of plywood to use as a template to make as many as I had the desire to ,make.
I used the bandsaw to roughly cut the outsides of the letters. A scroll saw and jig saw took care of the interior areas and then a flush trim router bit was used to get the wood down to the refined shape as defined by the template.
The walnut letters were then sanded and a wipe on poly-urethane finish was applied. The black letters are made of Douglas fir and are simply painted with a flat black spray paint.
The spiderwebs were bought from and Etsy store and pin nailed onto the letters. They were painted orange or black depending upon the wood they were to be attached too.
Walnut Coffee Table
The YouTube duo called Foureyes Furniture offered a get acquainted deal to their channel and website by offering a free course on how to build this coffee table. They sell other woodworking plans and this was a way to introduce more people to their products with hopes of additional sells in the future.
I was impressed with the quality of the drawings and the demonstrations that were presented in the 13 or so chapters in the course.
This course, I think, was geared toward the people at my skill level showing multiple ways of doing certain task depending upon what equipment you owned and the experience one had under their belt.
The top, stretchers, and legs are made from 5/4 walnut and the bottom shelf and rails are from 4/4 walnut and like the top, it is glued together from about 6 inch wide boards to create the needed width.
The finish was Rubio Monocoat, a hard wax product that I had never used before. The application of the finish was a piece of cake and my wife was gracious enough to apply most of it to help me. Truth be told, the piece was for her and she took pride in being apart of the build.
This was my first experience with this type of finish and I was pleased with the outcome. A little of the Rubio Monocoat goes a long way. Good thing because that material is expensive, very expensive.

Working The Election Polling Center
Today was the third day of working with the Yolo County Election team getting the polling center initially setup and then processing voters through the center.
Friday night, November4th was about a four hour evening getting all the equipment setup, verifying the inventory, and documenting the various components and providing security stickers to ensure no fraudulent activity could be carried-out intentionally or inadvertently.
Saturday was the first full day of actually serving the public enabling them to vote either in person or providing a place for them to simply drop off their ballot that they had filled out at home.
There are various stations that poll workers occupy that perform distinct functions.
The first station is the Line Management Station. The person at this station greets the incoming voter and directs them where they need to go depending upon whether they are voting in person or there simply to drop off their completed ballot or to actually vote in a variety of ways.
If the person just wants to drop off a filled out ballot they are directed to the Ballot Drop Off Station. There are three ballots boxes there. One for the ballots that for Drop Off Only. The person assigned to that station will verify that the ballot envelope has been properly signed and dated and instruct them to place the envelope in the Blue receiving ballot box.
If the person wants to fill out a ballot at the polling station then they are directed to the ePollbook Station for further processing. At tis station they will be asked to provide some means of looking them up in the system.
