Forced Downtime

It’s been very quiet here for the past couple of months.  I actually do have a project in progress, but it’s not complete and it won’t be for a while because I am temporarily unable to use the shop.

I had surgery recently to repair a torn anterior tibialis tendon in my left foot.  The procedure went well, but I’m still several weeks from being able to bear weight on my left foot.  When you can’t stand without mechanical assistance and need both hands just to cross the room, furniture-making is not a very safe activity.  Heck, just getting out of the house carries a high risk of fall, thanks to concrete steps with no hand rail.

Thankfully, Julie and I have awesome sons.  Adam and Ben, with the help of their friend Joe, built this for me:

The underpinnings of this ramp include legs cut from 4×4 pressure-treated posts, 2×6 side rails, and 2×6 cross pieces that act similarly to floor joists.  The surface is simple 3/4″ chipboard underlayment.  They coated the surface in a mixture of play sand and waterproof wood glue for traction, then painted the whole structure a concrete gray to blend in and help discourage the HOA from giving me a hard time over it.  The paint will also help with water resistance during spring rains.

It works beautifully.  It’s as strong as a house floor.  The incline is perfect — it’s easy to roll up and also easy to control my speed while rolling down.  And the bump rail on the outer edge makes sure I don’t accidentally roll off the end.  This ramp makes entering and leaving the house a lot safer and easier.

Thanks, guys!
