March 20, 20179 yr comment_103108 Good Monday Morning Folks! What did ya'll get done over the weekend and what are ya gonna do the week ahead in your shops, in your homes, in your life? Chime in, bring us up to speed, we'd love to hear from ya. Running late for work this morning, so I am sorry for not having the in depth community update topic here today, but I do hope you all had a safe and wonderful weekend, and a wonderful and safe week ahead. Like Ralph Jones always says, keep your body parts 6" or further away from any woodworking cutting blades! Eye candy image of the week Huron Work Experience Center.

March 20, 20179 yr Popular Post comment_103110 IDK yet about the week...SPRING weather can be fickle...Later this AM, picking up my step-father & step-sister to meet with his lawyer to be designated as POA's. Not a title I'm looking to embrace... It appears I'll have plenty of kid-porting to do from the practice schedules I was handed this AM. Over the weekend, I successfully arm-chaired several upsets and bracket busters during R2 of the NCAA tourney, "helped" Purdue & Butler advance and saw two great games of the Indiana High School 3A & 4A semi-state tourney...After church & lunch yesterday, retrieved the "remains" of our oldest grand-daughter returning from her FFA weekend retreat. Apparently she "won" the who could stay up the longest on both Friday & Saturday nights...from my view, she would have made a great cast member on the "Walking Dead." Happy Spring to all... Report
March 20, 20179 yr Popular Post comment_103112 Today is shot. A dump run, take the wife shopping...groceries, plants, solar lights and probably more. Oh yeah. Dog food. Can't forget the pups. Tomorrow, after some shop rearranging and cleaning, I can start cutting some wood. Somewhere, I read that Walnut dust/aroma is mildly narcotic. Hope not, cause I make enough mistakes as it is. Getting high won't help. Report

March 20, 20179 yr Popular Post comment_103125 Today, I'm finising up cutting boards for the summer show but the real work comes Thursday. My good friends at Frank Miller Lumber are delivering 38 sheets of birch plywood and 100 BF of poplar. Let the cabinet games begin. Report

March 20, 20179 yr comment_103134 Not much shop time this weekend. Got blank sets done up to turn half a dozen pens. Honduras Mahogany is the wood which makes for nice looking pens. Might turn them today. Report

At least the wife has come back and she is getting ready to start her new job on Wednesday. I still can not put any weight on the foot, so I am limited to my scooter and crutches with NO DRIVING (that part really sucks!) I am going back to the office and start working there tomorrow since Debbie will be able to drop me off before her work starts and pick me up after. Report

March 20, 20179 yr Popular Post comment_103157 It finally got warm enough for me to get into the shop. I got the wood stove going and spent most of Saturday cleaning the shop. Then I spent time removing the coating of rust that had built up on all of the metal surfaces, and applied a coat of Slip - It . Have a couple of TS blades that need sharpening so I'll deliver them to the local lumber yard where the sharpening service picks them up. The last blizzard left a big mess, tree branches all over the place. Once the snow melts, that will be my primary project. The local Coast Guard recorded a max gust of 79 mph here. Report
