Black Cats, spiders, witches and ghost are just around the corner. Get your candy stocked up for those little ones that come by for a Trick or Treat evening.

Tables, cutting boards, chest and sink top are on my list this weekend. Also having a birthday party for one of my granddaughters tonight and another granddaughter will be in town tomorrow for band competition. Going to be a busy weekend to squeeze every thing in. As usual I am down to the wire and next weekend will be the next to last First Friday for this season. I am out of large boards once again and got to get them done before Wednesday. Push, Push, Push in my shop this weekend and next week.

What about  you Patriot Woodworkers out there, what is on your agenda? Are you remodeling the shop, building jigs, working on Christmas projects, finishing projects, HDL, home improvement or just being fall lazy? You know here at The Patriot Woodworker we like to know what you are working on and love to see pictures of your projects. So come on and stop being bashful and post some projects and pictures of those projects. You might just inspire some one else to give it a try.

So I have the gang all in a festive mood and ready to see what you are working on so post those projects and tell us what is going on in your shop.

They won't wait forever, post those projects!!!

Well, John - back up on my feet from a couple of "down" days do to an artery procedure.  This weekend I will be working on a special order for an Airman who is retiring November 15th.  This special hero has over 23 years of Air Force life spent mainly in the TACP division.  (If you haven't heard of this division of the Air Force, here is a link to a web site:  TACP

How about the rest of y'all?????

Tami and I were out of town this past week as she had a week long conference/training down on the coast. This weekend we have some stuff to catch up some stuff around the house today and then church tomorrow, so it will be fairly quiet.

Making sliding dovetails for drawer slides today. And keeping an eye out for UPS.

Maybe catch a football game later. The Bama game is a foregone conclusion and it starts too early. Maybe catch Utah and USC.

Dunno what I'll do tomorrow. Probably some sharpening and clean up.

Got to use the Bosch colt for it's the first real job yesterday. Cutting 1/4X1/4 grooves preparatory to cutting sliding dovetail slots for drawers.
It's one sweet little machine. Plenty of power and the plunge base is a dream to use. First router I ever used where you release the spring loaded plunge lock in order to lock in the depth setting. Odd, but really handy.

Was able to watch one game yesterday. Oregon vs UCLA. The Ducks are impressive. UCLA.... not so much.

the real job kept me busy during the day yesterday so when I got home it was help some friends remove the decking from the back deck, replace the bearings and drive belt on my planer, and start cutting stock for salt and pepper shakers, only 59 sets cut out so far!!!

Today will be winterizing the camper, replacing a few damaged deck joists, building a small set of stair stringers, cutting stock for pizza peels, cribbage boards, and drilling a lot of holes for the S&P shakers
