When I get to throw away some of the saw dust as I'm in the early stages of ruffing it in I finally start to get interested in doing more.  Its a kind of a me against them sort of game. I put extra pieces in there for some reason so now I better do something with them. ...Always got to suit me first and if I am the only one happy, that's fine. 

   Theres a bunch of stuff I added that's not in the picture. Will try to make it look like it was supposed to be there. 

Was no flowers in the picture but girls like flowers..

I happy with it so far if that counts? As long as you don't add anymore flesh and blood to it I think it will be just fine whatever direction you choose.

Looking very nice

So cool looking!

 

 

Blood, sweat & tears.  It is coming along nicely there Jess.

Great start, Jesse. Keep the blood of this one. BTW, How's the injury healing?

Healing good Gene. I put a rubber glove over the bandage then a heavy leather glove over that . Its the thumb on the wood holding hand while the left hand holds the Dremel so its working out okay.. I did notice I'm not as wild with the carving as with the last clock and either that is the problem or else I'm getting wore out in the shop.

I also did notice when it gets down to 60 degrees my sunburned Texas skin has a fit and wants to go in to hibernation..

  Gene if thats a picture of you hanging there on the left I would swear you were all four of five of those guys working at that motorcycle wrecking yard close to Strawberry every time we stopped . I think we always saw five VW busses in the parking lot each trip by there.. Wife commented one time about their rv park really close to their work...

Glad to hear it's healing well and you can still carve. You're slower because you're careful. That's a good thing. I'm careful and slow, too. But mostly lazy.

 

Some of us can only wish for 60 degrees. It's on it's way. Taking it's own sweet time, though.

Gene I didn't put my picture up there and I can see why you did.. much better looking than me but I've been spending a fortune with this get pretty quicker ointment that says they guarantee......... I will look different, sooner or later.

 

Now back to my question....did you work there 20 years ago?

She's got good taste, I love Willie, one of my favorite CW artists, and Genes river table falls right in line, "Whiskey River Don't Run Dry".

Never worked there but, I've wandered about the lot plenty of times. Used to have a hamburger and a beer on the way to Pine, at that restaurant on the hill. 

Don't get over that way much, anymore. 

Gotta put up a new picture since I got new socks. 

 

Herb, that's one singer that don't set too well with me...I'm not an angel that's for sure but he pushes the drug world. Everything he stands for is the wrong way to go towards young people...He might be a Texan but something is wrong with the young anymore and it might be his kind.....

  No Gene, the black bandana does not make your hair any darker...but a sock over each ear might help. I would have never thought the socks would help till you mentioned it..
