August 28, 20187 yr Trip back from NC Sunday. Stopped at a flea market and found a Starrett square with a good bit of rust. He wanted 10 I offered 6 and he said ok ,maybe since the wife was spending 26 on a Guardian cook ware.I cannot resist a Starrett. Not sure what the project is tomorrow but will have to hit the ground running.
August 28, 20187 yr Spent Saturday at junior high girls volleyball. Boys are busy in the shop with oak tables, corn hole games boards and spraying finish on the Walnut/Cedar chest. I worked at the range today.
August 28, 20187 yr Made the deer antler rosette mounts yesterday. Used the band saw. Forgot how much I really like doing band saw work. That little Shopsmith band saw is a sweetheart. Today, the rosettes get mounted.... Maybe.

August 28, 20187 yr Have you ever tasted Mulberry wine? Our BIL in Warsaw IN made some and it was delicious. I suppose each wine maker does things to his/her taste but, he knocked it outta the park with his batch.

Had a guava tree, dad made wine out of it by the gallons, as a matter of fact he had at least 3 or 4, 5gal Sparkletts water bottles simmering at any given time, right under his woodworking bench. I remember the foam resting at the top of the bottles like it was yesterday, keep in mind I was only in my mid teens, and what does any Red Blooded American mid teen boy, and his friends do when presented with an opportunity to skim a little wine from each bottle? Well, me and my buddies made a habit from it for one summer, the danged stuff was more like high octane fruit juice, perhaps along the lines of a liqueur than a wine, lets just say we had a hard time keeping our balance at the summer beach bon fires for a whole summer! Woke up in the wrong place a few times too! How'd Dad handle that summer? We won't go into that, it twasn't pretty.
August 28, 20187 yr Guava wine sounds really good. Sounds like your dad's was pretty potent. Wine hangovers are excruciatingly unpleasant, aren't they?

But at that age, the taste wasn't important. Dad was still trying to figure out the right sugar content among other things, he was a wine chemist, not a wine maker When we were toddlers he made beer, kept it under our front wood porch where it was nice and cool, it blew up one day, seriously, it really did.
