Finishing Up and Erika's Baguette


Finishing up the cabinets in the kitchen with some crown molding. I decided to make my own molding since Japan has a very limited choice of moldings available.



Each piece required five different angle cuts on the table saw and some unusual miter cuts on the compound miter saw. 


These are the base pieces for the molding that are installed before the molding.


Here's a side view of what I was trying to accomplish.

Here, the crown molding is being fitted and installed. Who is that old guy?


The finished crown molding for the cabinets.



This is one of the vegetable bins installed earlier this year. We've been harvesting carrots, and several varieties of lettuce and cabbage.


Here's one of our purple carrots.


They look great in a salad and taste pretty good too.


Erika can bake very well! She researched how to make baguettes and did a fantastic job!


Wow! These look and taste amazing.


The bread was light and airy and chewy. She is going to experiment with some other recipes in the near future...please stay tuned.



No, Erika didn't bake the pecan pie. She ate it though. Yeah, it's that time of year. Right now, I'm working on a glass panel for the top of the stairway. I'll be taking some pictures for the next post. Please stay safe and be careful for the holidays. Wishing you a much better New Year in the future.
