A little short on Wisdom this week. We are getting new siding on the house and the contractor is allowing me to "help". He said he wouldn't charge us any extra for my "assistance". The one thing I can say for certain is that I'm not as young or as agile as I used to be.

 

As for turning, the rolling pins are being glued together and prepped for turning. The siding contractor wants 4 for Christmas presents!!

 

Tim Yoder has a video up. It's a little different this time. He talks about  what to look for in a grinder and how to perform some basic tune-ups.

 

If you have a Facebook account, check out the Easy Wood Tool page. They are posting some great videos about their turning tools.

 

Safe Turning!

Hey Lew, which one are you!

John,

Who do you think is taking the picture?

Hey I just thought he'd be helping somewhere on the house, not taking the picture!

They gave me the job of bending all of the aluminum trim pieces for the windows, doors, facia, etc.

Great job Lew! Did you learn anything new?

Not really. The guy was happy that he could give me the measurements and walk away.

Sounds like it was a great partnership Lew, you stayed out of his way, and you also got a ton of stuff done.
