Cal Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) Well, I was (and am) in the middle of three projects. A pair of mirrors for upcoming weddings in April; a pair of oak nightstands for the second bedroom and a pair of underbed storage drawers for the first upstairs bedroom. Sounds like all my projects come in pairs? Then the call came in. Yesterday morning my SIL called to inform me that my older brother had passed away during the night. They were overseas, in Portugal, when he took ill and was hospitalized. He died from complications due to pneumonia. I will be headed out sometime in the next few days so that I can help SIL settle his estate. I am not sure yet when they will be returning, needless to say - there is a bunch of paperwork for her to do in Portugal before she will leave. But I plan to be in upstate NY to help when she arrives. I visited the VA center here today to see what may be available for her in death benefits, but I did not get to speak with anyone.

Popular Post Charles Nicholls Posted March 13, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Hi guys, I know it's nearly midweek already, but i wanted to let you know that i am actually turning things again, and as soon as I can figure out a way to get the picture from my phone, to here, I'll show you what I am working on. It's another throw top, made from maple and Osage I believe. I am going to be making more of them, especially since we recently lost the one person that i had contact with that made them originally and encouraged me to make them, Judy Kingery. She gave me a lot of support and inspiration on turning in general, and she will certainly be missed. Have a great week everyone... p_toad, lew, HARO50 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
