Live Edge Slabs & Rivets

We've seen quite a few skoolie builds with live edge slabs for counters, and decided we'd like to use it for ours.  We're no stranger to live edge slabs.  Our house is sided in live edge pine, with cedar along the bottom, and when we were building tables for our SoulSeeds shop, we used them for a number of their tops.  Joseph was able to find two local red oak slabs, the largest being 25" at it's widest.  It's already been dried in a kiln, so should work well for our counters.  We'll epoxy the cracks when we start working with it, though that will likely be a while yet.    

He's started affixing sheet metal to the bus, to join the upper and lower bus, cut for the roof raise.  An air riveter was purchased, to make it a bit easier.  Thank goodness, as the back of the bus required a great many of them.  The Carolina wren hatchlings fledged, so the nest is now empty.  Next post, I'll tell you about an event we're attending soon.  We're hoping to get lots of inspiration there.
