    Don't throw it away

    I have been experimenting with some soft cedar with inside out turning. I came up with a couple of pieces of junk, but it proved that one idea worked, while the other failed. I didn't throw them away, when I walk by them, I get other ideas. Anyway I cut one in two pieces and made some great looking Christmas ornaments, I'll get some pictures out tomorrow when the finish is where I want it.

  2. Getting to be a bit crowded, mainly in drills.... And, I had a couple others to add to this pile. There is no room in the brace till for a 14" sweep drill, nor a 10" brace....so Drilled a few 1/2" holes into some 1/2" plywood. turned the holes into slots. Three screws to attach the "rack" Into the overhead beams, er..joists. Don't worry about the "smoke alarm" as it is a defunct one, have a new system in place. Next, start loading the rack up.. That breast drill is on the far end. The four eggbeaters are up there, a Millers Falls Holdall 14 and a Millers Falls 22 are there as well. Best news, they are all above the top of my bald head, by a few inches. Another look? There is also a saw till up there. Cords are the main power to what power tools I have, and.....the overhead light. mainly the yellow cord, orange no longer works. Well, I think there MIGHT be enough drills in the shop?

  3. And had to stop and take a picture.... Right down to the eye patch, and a sash for a belt. Apparently, they can remove the sword, and add a flag instead. Nice use of a dead tree?

  5. An interesting story that I came across while doing our geneology stuff for the Kaub bunch from Germany. They settled in a little area there in Allegany County, Maryland about 20 miles west of Cumberland in a small town called "Accident". The story that I came across while doing the research went that there were 3 guys who were doing the assaying of the land there in Allegany County dividing up the various parcels into smaller chunks for towns. They were all working in different directions and different parcels and all 3 were working towards coming to one place unbeknownst to each other. So they all had included that parcel in their assaying by accident. So that last parcel they named it "Accident". So some of my kin lived in the the little town of Accident, Allegany County, Maryland, which is now in Garret County.
