For images in our Gallery, please ensure per the community suggested guidelines in each gallery to name your images appropriately. Please avoid keeping the default image file name such as DSC5974kl.jpg or such names like it.

If you click on each gallery category you'll see our suggested method for uploading images, I'd like to see it become law, there are many reasons why an actual title to the image is beneficial to our community.

Image Uploading Suggestions

We appreciate your help in keeping our image gallery orderly and easy for others to research.

Please consider these suggestions while uploading your images.

 

• Name your images before uploading to our gallery, the generic camera file names just look so messy. "Walnut Desk" looks so much better than "DSC19467je69.jpg". You can also name your images after you upload them to our gallery for your convenience.
• After uploading your images, please consider adding a description so your viewers know what they are seeing and the wood used, the tools used, or even your inspiration for building the project.
• Please consider tagging your images so our members and guests will be able to successfully search for your image and related images. Tags can be inserted into the "Tags" field. An example of tags and their names should be related to your project. If your project images are of a Walnut Desk with dovetail joinery, than tag the image with "Walnut", "Desk", "Dovetail" etc.

 

Thank you for your cooperation.

The Management

  Are sure that's not a picture of @steven newman tool cabinet?

A little lathe work.

Good weekend overall.

 

Week ahead; Today, PU youngest grandson after school from music practice. He told me last week they have one song to learn thats all in Latin. Even with that he remains focused on the prize...not the contest, but the "free" Subway sandwich and t-shirt.; oldest grandson has away wrestling meets TU/ TH. Neither too far so likely will attend both. Youngest granddaughter travels down state WE-SU with the swim team for end of season conference meet. I'll watch via livestream. Remainder of the week TBD.

 

PSA Reminder: Don't forget sweets for your sweet this Wednesday...or at least a card. Buying at 50% off on Thursday doesn't count.

Went into the big orange box on Sunday for a can of varnish. I think the last one was pretty expensive at around $12. How about $40 +?

That’s crazy!

Does living through it count for anything?

 

Went to the VA hospital last Thurs. for a regular 6 month "Am I still alive?" check and apparently picked up whatever bug is going around this week. Slowly but surely getting better and may actually get something useful done this week. Or not!

Glad you're doing better Tony.

 

Hopefully they didn't charge you extra for the bug. Probably shouldn't mention it though or everyone will be wanting it for free.

 Of course, if there's an ex in the mix don't overlook this possibility (be sure to check the last sentance).

 

Due to a lack of interest Monday was cancelled here "Two Weeks From Anywhere".

Ouch...well a gift is a gift...it's the thought that counts, right?

 Think I'll do the same thing today that I did yesterday, still not finished doing nothing. 

Got to use the snowblower! About 5" of heavy, wet snow.
