This Old House features tools for women

I was happy to see in my new issue of This Old House magazine that they had a full-page feature reviewing tools designed for women. It was interesting to read the pros and cons of each one. Tomboy Tools was one of the brands reviewed. In each case, the reviewers had some excellent suggestions for improving the tools, which I hope the manufacturers will sit up and notice. I need to write TOH to give them kudos on their coverage. That's a great magazine. I always get something out of it. I like it better than the TV show because I can focus on the things that interest or apply just to me.

This shelving thing is slow as Christmas. Today, I finished priming the individual shelves and touched up the hutches. I also worked on getting the center hutch more square by removing the back and cutting a new middle shelf. (The first one I cut and primed turned out to be a bowed piece of wood from Home Depot.) I was proud that I cut it myself on the table saw, without my husband's help! It took me a couple of tries, though, because the fence wasn't tight enough the first time.

Tomorrow, I hope to glue and screw the center hutch shelves, then caulk and get one coat of paint on everything. It's supposed to rain, of course, which won't help things.
