Jewelry rack, stage 2:

Mental note: Dremeling solid pine takes way the heck longer than Dremeling bass wood. So today was entirely spent on carving the compartments into the shelf. Other note – having the right tool makes a lot of difference, and between Lowe’s and Home Depot, Lowe’s has the better array of Dremel tips. So that was a random half-hour that probably saved me at least two hours of carving with the tiny tiny tip that came with my Dremel.
