Stop in for a cup of coffee

Well I'm stuck here today figuring out material sources, design and schedule for the high school kids.
That won't take the whole day but I have to be here to take a call.

Speaking of clocks like that, my mantel project is coming along. I should have it glued up today. Then all that needs to be done is the tounge and groove infil, and figure out how to hang it.

It's going to need four hooks of some sort that act like cleats.
Also the registers needs to be repaired.

This one I can fix.

The one behind the grill, not so sure. Don't have all the parts. Hopefully can find a good one that someone has saved.

Interesting arrangment.
The 'duct' is a plastered flue. Tinwork was plastered in for the registers and grills.
Here's the one salvaged with the mantel.
