No he didn’t invite me to tag along. Not sure why he didn’t ?

I was afraid that you’d wear that hideous grass skirt…..Couldn’t unsee that.😀

Beth will keep it clean. She keeps the shop clean! I can’t find anything!

I might have! It would have been awesome and you know it!

 

Had a great weekend ending to Spring Farm Days at the Ag Museum. Sales were twice last years for same event. Had to order more kits for some items and will be working on those this week.

 

Made a whistling top and took it along just for fun. Showed it to one man and he bought it. Go figure as i put a price I did not think I would get.

Ya mean I almost missed another Monday?   Amazing!

 

Wondered why the shop was closed today...

 

Welcome back, Mr. Moody!

 

Nap a nap.....

Nice job! Price is irrelevant when quality, originality, and beauty come into play.

Nearly every day I'm in my shop for some reason.

I've heard this for decades. "You want to have tools in your hands every day. Even if it is only for a few - 45 minutes". When work is/was slow, I'd find a customer who needed a walk-through and adjustment / tightening up of items.

 

I'm not afraid to fail; rather, I embrace it. To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong and Anything worth doing is worth doing badly are two sayings which are part of my approach when trying something new. Lately, just about everything I try in woodworking is new. Some century-old spruce and pine just landed on my porch. Amazing tight straight grain on the spruce. And I'll try my first dovetail effort, a truck battery-sized box.

Welcome back @John Moody... I think you should have brought donuts with you!

Door looks super btw

You are heartless, Moody. Only one eye and you’re trying to take it?

 Back to work at the same place or did you take on a new adventure?

Thanks.  The process of learning my capabilities to match what they want done has begun.  Alot newer equipment available here.  Some I have used or see demo'd, others I just dreamed of being able to use just for the speed at which a task can be completed.  Only new thing is this clocking in and out stuff. 

Have not done that in 16 years.  

 

Paperwork isn't new just something we never did at old shop.

I'll throw in another "Good Luck!".  As for paperwork it is an insidious mold that grows slowly over time thanks to administrators who are trying to justify their high salaries. JMHO.

Must be a lot of learning to do since you have been scarce as of late. Hope this works out good. Do you have folks in the Ukrane?

Organized Dad's wrench drawer. Mother was pleased they are now separated and she can find a wrench.

 

My wife can find a tool very easily, I have to get it for her. The problem comes when I forget to get it back from her and she forgets what she did with it.
