    The saddest day of my life

    On Wednesday, September 3 our grandson was born. He was beautiful beyond words. On Friday he was gone. In the loving arms of his mother he simply and unexpectedly passed away while still in the hospital. We buried him on Sunday along with a huge part of my heart. My birthday was made a little...

    A Long but Enjoyable Day at IWF

    Yesterday morning I left home at 5AM and drove to Atlanta for IWF. Wisely, I parked for free at an outlying MARTA station and bought a $4 round trip ticket. Walked into the show at 9:15. Here are some pictures and a report. Welcome to the World Congress Center and IWF 2008! Everyone was...

    last day of SAPFM conference (long)

    Sorry about the delay in tying up my experience at the conference. I have a hard time balancing my time when Silage cutting time comes around. 270 loads down 100 to go. In my last report I wrote about the different seminars. They were all really great. The lighting in most of the rooms was...

    Wow! Did we have a ball. The folks over at Old Salem let the kids run free in the candy store. They open the doors at both the beginning and the end of the furniture museum, posted a docent in each room and and then let us wander around as we wanted. They opened drawers, turned things up side...

    weekend doings -a good day's work

    I got busy this weekend and built a liquor storage/display backbar rack for one of my restauants. Birch plywood finished w/ pre-cat laquer and waxed. I like doing this type project - instant gratification. I will post an additional photo when it is installed and stocked with all the goodies.

    What You Can Do With a Day Off

    Boy, I just love a day off and with my wife out of town on family business what's a guy to do except turn, turn, turn. Today's work is a piece of Sycamore cut from a tree on my wife's family farm in Maryland. The tree was downed in a storm this past spring. For those wondering about DNA...

    First Day Back In The Shop

    Well since my sinus surgery two weeks ago today, I snuck out to the shop yesterday for a little R&R away from all of the R&R. During my time on the couch I bought a router, router table, and router table plate. Glad I am back at work cause this being off was getting expensive. I had to get...

    Another rainy day saturday in the shop project finished

    I finally got back to finishing my assembly table by wrapping it with red oak. It is 4 x 8 and has 2 3/4 sheets of MDF and topped with hard board. The legs and rails were made by glueing together 3.5" strips of 3/4 ply. It is really easy to make a mortise and tennon joint this way until I can...

    Appropriate for the day - new cutting

    I cut this last weekend, but hadn't posted it yet. Obviously it doesn't have a finish on it (is there a behavior pattern here?). Today seems like an appropriate day for posting this - Happy Easter

    A very satisfying day in the shop

    Since we had some snow and ice today I took the day off and listened to Billie Holiday and made a chopping block and finished a Cherry cabinet I've been working on. I really had an awesome day, I hope you did also.

    Had an off day turning.

    Lessons learned today. 1. It is really hard to excavate end grain! 2. While excavating end grain, things tend to fly off the lathe when you get a catch!! 3. Re-read how to cut blanks from logs BEFORE you cut up that walnut log. 4. It is a bad idea to have your thumb in the flute of a roughing...
