    Brown Truck Dropped By Today

    My daughter told me that the driver left two brown boxes on the porch. Being cautious I immediately moved them to the shop, where it would be safe to carefully investigate. The boxes had "Amazon" written on them. What were they? Snakes? That Amazon has some BIF snakes, seen um myself on...

    Sawdust sighting in my shop today!

    Folks it is true. I made saw dust today on a actual project. This is the makings of a toddler bed for Sophie. I borrowed the idea from a store (shhh). I think I got the bottom piece scaled wrong. Oh well, maybe it will look different when painted (yes I said painted) to match the other...

    I had to use my I-beam hoist today *Pics*

    I had to hoist something up to the shop today. So I opened the loft door, unhooked and swung out the I-beam, attached the braces, and lowered the cable. Used the dual cable setup cause this thing was a bit heavy. I used some heavy rope to attach the cable to this thing . . . . . And yes...

    Another project completed today

    This is a little short stand I made for my sister today. Can anyone point out the mistake I made during assembly? The wood is yellow pine that I salvaged when I remodeled the house that I was born it that we now live in. The wood is about 50 years old.

    Learned a new trick on the D4 today... [PICS!]

    Angled through-dovetails! 8-) I'm making a doll cradle for LOML Jr. This is a pretty cool technique, I think -- even if it does only have very limited application... :roll: For the curious, here's basically how it's done: First of all, you rout the pins first, instead of...
