February 25, 201214 yr Well Jim's not going to do so I'll have to do it for him, brag!!! Every now and then a member sneaks in a photo of some work they did, and it usually has a small un-assuming caption like "Look what I built" or "Just a small desk I made" and it turns out to be something incredibly fantastic, work that could stand next to the world's greats. We had a photo posted here recently that fits this bill. Jim, great work sir, I cannot imagine the hours that goes into something like this. Thank you for showing it here though, this is spectacular. Let me introduce to our members the work of Jim Johnstun John Morris The Patriot Woodworker Proud Supporter of Wounded Warrior Project and Homes For Our Troops
February 25, 201214 yr All I can say is WOW!!! Jim, how many hours do you have in that desk? Truly it is a work of art.Ron DudelstonSite HostAbove and Beyond WoodWorks
February 25, 201214 yr WOW! I wonder, Jim. Did you complete this in the 5th wheel? Your talents and skills are intense and varied. Admirable work, buddy! Gene'The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.' G. K. Chesterton
February 25, 201214 yr Beautiful work and my first thought when I saw it was that it was a very ornamental and old church organ. Please take that as a huge compliment, it is beautifulÂ
February 25, 201214 yr Hello Everyone,I finally made it back and the first thing I see is a MASTERPIECE if I ever saw one. Fantastic job Jim. I sure have missed you folks very much and now that things here have sort of leveled off and we have gotten used to the wife being totally bed ridden and we have to help her in many ways. Thank to the good LORD above we have help who come in for a few hours twice a day seven days of the week. I am a very busy person of late for I am trying to run four businesses out of my shop and show room down town, I also do the laundry three times a day, cook three meals, do the shopping for food and medicine as well as the necessities for my wife. However every thing I do is out of my love for her and the business is doing well thanks to God which allows me the money for all of the things needed for a bed ridden person. I will try to drop by when ever I can and thanks in advance for all of your prayers and well wishes since she became ill. Have a good week end and enjoy the Daytona 500 tomorrow. Your old friend, Ralph
February 25, 201214 yr Great to have you back Ralph. God bless you for caring for your wife and all the other things you must do. Perhaps now is the time to taper off the business side to a manageable level and slow down. I'll include you and your wife in my prayers and so please slow down and  take care of yourself, your wife needs you.Ralph Allen Jones said:Hello Everyone,I finally made it back and the first thing I see is a MASTERPIECE if I ever saw one.
