Beautiful grill cabinet John, I did a customers deck with Ipe and it really dulls the tools quick.

Also hard to put screws in.

i knew I misspelled that. Thanks for the catch.

Working so I can buy ammo and tools. Half day tomorrow the off to Ag Museum to help pack equipment up for storage till next weekend. John zounds like der is a problem. 

   John if you get this bid I think the shop addition will be paid for at least.

Gerald I hope so. We went in very competitive but think we will still do well. They really liked the prototypes and paid up front for them. We had just under two weeks to go from design to being able to make one that can be produced in numbers quickly.

I’ve been slowly work8ng on a California king bed for a customer.  All I got was an internet picture to work from.  Here’s the headboard and I’ll mortise the posts Monday and start on the foot.  Believe it or not, the decorative arch took two hours to complete. Check out the faux shiplap. 

 

 

@Ron Dudelston awesome job on the bed. Really looks first class just as all your work does.

Attended girl's swim banquet Wed. at their request. I apologize first for "bragging" but was quite proud...oldest grand-daughter received her 4 year swim varsity letter recognition however the big surprise came as she was named/honored as an Academic All-State & Academic H.S. All-American for maintaining 3.75>/4.0 GPA for her four year's lettering. Maybe we have done a few things right.

Congratulations to your grand-daughter Dave.  Someone has done something right, for sure!

Woodworking club tomorrow, then on to "Tech Week" to get the theater set moved, installed, and ready for the performance next weekend.   Likely Sunday and every evening next week.

 

That's my eldest grand-daughter on the left.

Another nasty week weather wise...snow, below zero temps, some more snow and now a threat of thunderstorms with rain & 40 mph wind tomorrow. I haven't seen dry earth in nearly 6 months.

Weekend: Will be shorter than normal...Stay above the mud...may venture out to the garage for a bit tomorrow if it makes it above 50. Church Sunday.

 

Don't forget to spring your clocks forward one hour tomorrow night to be in compliance.

Congratulations to her and to you all. Never apologize for bragging on grandchildren, they are special. 

 

Watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with our youngest. Doesn’t get much better. Friday evening we drove to Birmingham, Al to see our 13 y/o granddaughter. She tried out for and made Allstate chorus. Looked beautiful and sang great.

 

So go ahead and brag when you can, they bring a smile to your face and joy to your heart!

And congratulations to both @John Moody and @kmealy for those grandkids' accomplishments

 

 

When our kids do well, we're full of pride. But, when our grandkids do well, we're over the moon. You guys should be close to Neptune, by now. Pat yourselves on the back. Ya done good. Real good.

Congrats to you too John. Big accomplishment on her part and obviously very talented.

I'm learning through grand-kids, we get a "second chance" to correct the errors made the first time around. At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Great grandkids are a positive validation of your parenting skills.

@John Morris, you guys are going to have extra special, super duper grandkids.

I don't need any help in this respect either. 

I got a call late Friday evening from Woodcraft in Franklin, TN saying my new CNC wasn’t on the Friday delivery truck, but should be in on Monday. So no trip to Nashville on Saturday and I’m working five days at the shooting range this week. I guess it’ll just have to sit and wait and go to Woodcraft next weekend.

I can be in Nashville in about 6 hours. Want me to pick it up and keep it at home until you have room and are ready for it?

Well I guess you could and I could pick it up from you in April when I’ll be in Indy.
