Project - Add another shelf in a kitchen cabinet with used wood.

Lisa was talking the other day about how we needed a shelf in the
kitchen cabinet. Every time we need something from the cabinet, items
on top would crash down. I'm in a save money mode right now so I
looked around our house to see what we had to make what we need.

 I found a large nice looking shelf from an old entertainment center.
I measured 4 times and then made my cut. The saw blade I have was the
right size but not very sharp, it cut, but it just took a while. On
the legs I used oak from a shelfing system I had salvaged. I used wood
glue and tack nails for each leg. The shelf is also removable. Now we
can fit more things in and get to items we need without a hassle.
Total time about 3 hours.

Hawai‘i Academy of Recording Arts (HARA). The Academy is a nonprofit organization formed in 1982 to stimulate interest in the local recording industry and the music of Hawai'i.

HARA traces its origins to Hawaiian Radio KCCN, which conceived and organized the 1st Annual Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards in 1978. KCCN celebrated its 30th anniversary in 1996. The Academy highlights its year by producing the Nā Hōkū Hanohano honoring the achievements of excellence in the recording arts. Only entries created, produced, and/or engineered; recorded by a local resident artist, musician, or technician, released during the eligible year; and primarily distributed in Hawai'i are acceptable for nomination (non-resident entries qualify only in the genre categories, Hawaiian, Contemporary, Anthology, Christmas, etc.).

After the show we look forward to meeting up with friends at Tiki's Grill & Bar and watching Beach 5 perform.
