It was an exciting time over the Christmas break at Made In Bobland. My kid Reilly had an idea for a handmade Christmas present for mom and asked to come to the shop and work on it.* After a crash course in power tool safety we picked through the scrap piles of walnut and drew up a cutting board/stand to prop up an iPad when using it for recipes. Reilly conquered those power tools and the board turned out pretty sweet. Ma was quite happy.

*This is big news since my obsession with woodworking has long been the focus of much tongue-in-cheek mocking from the younger Thompson generation.
