OMG!!! I found my new "crack dealer" (my 24yo daughter currently calls Hobby Lobby my crack dealer)... there's actually a woodworking shop nearby that I didn't even know existed until another accidental google search. They have SOOO MANY PRETTIES!!! I also saw purple wood (can't remember the name of it). OMG I'm going to get into so much trouble there! 

Have I mentioned how happy I am to have found this group? Even though I know all of you are going to get me in trouble eventually lol

Found my other pictures...

Good to know! LOL

Maybe Purpleheart???

  

Thats the one! I was smitten! Wish I could have afforded to bring some home with me today. 

As for growing your tool inventory (we'll help you spend money there too), stop in at some of your local pawn shops...sometimes NIB, sometimes slightly used, sometimes good value, sometimes WAY over priced, sometimes junk. I've found several really good buys on name brand, quality tools for pennies on the dollar. Some shops will bargain quite a bit too...

Good idea!

Ok, now I'm REALLY in trouble... was googling (I seem to get myself into more trouble doing that) to see how pyrography would look on purpleheart wood... looks pretty good but Lichtenberg wood burning looks AWESOME!

 

I also seem to use the word "trouble" way too much

I agree it does...PLEASE DON"T do it...very hazardous as you are dealing with extremely high voltage. Since you're Googling, Google Lichtenberg Deaths, US or something similar.

We just got you here...would like to keep you around for a long time to come.

Oh trust me, I'd be doing a LOT of research before I ever contemplate attempting it.

WAY too much! LOL Thankfully our hospital was somewhat air conditioned, so we had some relief while we were working. Of course that had the drawback once you were off work and went back to your tent lol

Put this over the medic station Isolation unit sign one morning.

 

Few weeks later put this at the medics station entrance.
