Learning

I've started something new and I'm pretty excited about it!

A good friend of ours repairs and refinishes furniture for a living.

I occasionally ask him for tips or advice when working on a project.

He's always really helpful

But I feel a little bad for always asking for free advice when it's his job.

I recently asked him if he'd be willing to take me on as a sort of "apprentice"...

Letting me watch what he does and learn from him.

And he said yes!

So one or two days a week I've been going to his shop

Watching

Helping a bit

Screwing things up occasionally

And learning a lot!

I just wish I had more time to go

Although he's probably glad to have a little "Debbie-free time" occasionally

Here's a picture from this week:

We stripped a table, fixed a chair and put a finish on another table

And when I say "we" I mean mostly him...

Just to be honest.

I'm not that useful.

But I'm having a great time!
