  • April 2026 Progress Report

    Back when I was a wee theatre rat, I learned basic carpentry. I also learned that I hated building boxes with a passion. If you are a millimeter off on the lower left front corner, the upper right front corner is at least an inch off. Don’t even get me started on fashioning the lids…
