Popular Post Gene Howe Posted March 7, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 Not as productive as you guys. Gonna help my son rip some boards for a cat window seat. He's found a cash cow of sorts. All sorts of old ladies now want cat window seats mounted outside a window. He gets as much as $800 for one. Of course he gets to use his forge and anvil on the costlier ones. After the boards are sized, we'll be moving a 20' bare stud wall about 20' from the middle of the shop, over to one wall. This is the final obstacle to an open floor. Next comes insulation, wiring, lumber rack, more stud walls, etc....we're slowly gitt'n there.

Thankfully they don't call, email or write me about an reunion. Seems it was assumed I died long time ago.

It was actually a combination of Christmas orders, gifts, and a couple of fundraiser donations. And, it may be an addiction as well, but if it is, I should probably seek therapy and a self cleaning shop now because Christmas is coming!

Popular Post Headhunter Posted March 8, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 It DID happen and I can prove it! This is about half of the current order. These go the fastest so I get to make LOTS of them. Will make sure the rest of the order gets shown if I ever get it done.

Your snowmen look fantastic. I'm the same way with pens. Like making them, love giving them away and seeing smiles from the receivers. If you find a self cleaning shop see if they will give you a discount if you buy two. I could sure use one.

It has been windy, lately. But, depending on the day, it might come from any direction. Heck, it's been known to change direction 2 or 3 times in a day. It's usually out of the WSW. Unfortunately, the roll up is on the east end of the building. p_toad, DuckSoup, HARO50 and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the daughters new project? The older daughter is making a blanket chest from solid Walnut I had sawed years ago. Plan is 44 inches long and 18 by 18 wide and deep. She has been working on gluing up panels with my help. We are ahead of last year. That is good. p_toad, Larry Buskirk, DuckSoup and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
