I finished the other speaker stand, let it sit for half an hour so the glue could dry, and then routered all of the edges. I took it upstairs to show Greg, as he'd only seen the drawings, and then I realized that I had put the lower frame on rotated 90°, so that the lower runners go left-right, not front to back like the other two pieces. I'm going to ask Janet about it, and see if she can live with it (since it only holds up a speaker tower, it won't be as much of a problem for moving it). If not, then I get to cut the legs off and replace them, because at this point, they're not going to unglue nicely.

I also need to take all of my wood chisels to work and sharpen them. I sharpened the two we were using to trim veneer on the table tops, and, since I was using the sample prep lab at work for grinding them, they're sharpened to 1200 grit (read mirror smooth and sharp enough for shaving). I was using on of them to make minor adjustments on the oak frame, and now I realize just how a really sharp chisel is supposed to work. I may need to make or find a sharpening jig, so as to keep the grind angle uniform on all of them from grit size to grit size, and not add extra facets to the bevel.

In other news, teeka made it safely to the Charlotte airport. Getting from there to crzmslmaven's house apparently was much more dangerous, with the phrase "She tried to kill me" (describing Crzmslmaven's driving style) coming into the conversation more than once.
