The Sawdust Chronicles

Namaskaram Everyone!

Recently, we have upgraded the monitor and sound system that Satguru uses for his presentations in the Guru Pitam. Upon unboxing the new equipment we realized the existing stand was slightly too small to house the new monitor. Fortunately, Mayuresh is here for several weeks on taskforce, working in the woodshop. He has been working on the screen's stand by adding a larger top as well as a small drawer to hold the microphone and sound equipment. He was happy to work on this project because it serves as a opportunity to improve his carpentry skills. Mayuresh remarks "The monastery wood shop has every tool you could ever need for a project!"

This is the monitor stand being worked on

You can see here, where it will be stationed in the Pitam

Mayuresh is seen here, using a hand plane to smooth the pieces

The wood has become smooth from his planning

These are some dovetail joints he has made

Jai Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami!
