However the little detailed pieces would be more than my stiff, fat, little fingers can handle. I would obsess over the details and I JUST don't have the patience that I used to have when I was a little less gray.
December 3, 20178 yr It looks like she is already loosing her marbles over that challenge for I see one of them laying over in the corner.

My mother used to call him, "General Gonna-do-it". It took awhile for the lesson to stick, but the older I get the more the advantages come to light.

I have a 2.5X I use for saw sharpening, splinters, and any other close work smaller than an elephant...
December 4, 20178 yr I've been planning to join the procrastinator's club for 25 years, but I seem to just continue to put it off until next year!
December 4, 20178 yr I hope the work that went into that is fully appreciated..This couldn't happen in my shop, at least, not if I was the one using the tools.
