Good to know...it certainly should be...what a lesson those kids get who are lucky enough to participate in the various programs offered. I hope they realize it and continue to pass it forward. I knew it had been under-going extension repair. There is a "Hoosier" connection to the on-going support as well as the work too. It has made the news locally a few times. A little dated, but the harvest had to precede the actual dry dock and repairs to allow for special handling, processing and drying of the timbers. http://www.navy.mil/submit/display.asp?story_id=66594 This article appeared in one of our monthly Electric Co-Op magazines. http://www.electricconsumer.org/ironsides-of-indiana-oak/ https://www.woodworkingnetwork.com/wood-market-trends/woodworking-industry-news/custom-woodworking-news/Navy-Harvests-White-Oak-for-USS-Constitution-Repairs-261380301.html About midway down in this article. http://www.inwoodlands.org/ask-the-steward-summer-2017/

Great idea & solution Ron. Out of curiosity, where did you get the thin sheets of Teflon? Locally or special order? When you describe thin, approximate thickness?

Al, I assume this facility is listed as a National Historic Landmark. If not it should be...it would help them obtain grant money and funding to help preserve the heritage. I really do enjoy the posts and pictures you share from your visits there. I find it fascinating. Really enjoyed @John Morris post of the video a while back too. Unfortunately, probably as close as I'll to the place. It's been nearly 50 years since I was last in Boston and your general area and has been 50 years since the first visit. Both times, I did get to tour the U.S.S. Constitution which was a special treat.

Yep you're back 'cause you're messing with me now.

Yeah right; I couldn't dance like that 40 years ago, so fat chance now. I'd have to put money in the hat for people to take just to get them to watch.

I like that dog ALOT! Word of caution though, don't try this with a cat or at least any of ours...at least I'll never attempt it again. However, many years ago, neighbors of ours had an indoor only cat...that cat let them vacuum him regularly.

Thank-you. Looking forward to following that. Yours are really impressive and add such an extra special touch of craftsmanship to a project. I like them all you have pictured here though. Spectacular spaulted lid on the first one. Great contrast.

Most excellent and extremely well done Dan Thanks for the background and especially the pictures. -
What he said. Thanks David! Enjoyed seeing.

Great tour Al. It is mind boggling that building is 225+ years old and only a few years younger than our nation. While the historians/tour guides can re-tell some of the history, if that old building could talk, what stories it could share. Thanks for taking the time to take the pictures & to share here. Great reminder of our nation's heritage.

Glad you're back & posting Patch and all is well in Breckenridge.

Who We Are
We are a woodworking community with an emphasis on sharing and learning the skilled craft of woodworking and all of its related disciplines. Our community is open to everyone who wishes to join us. We support our American veterans and active duty, being a veteran is not a prerequisite to join. Join us now!
Objective
Of course just like most online woodworking communities we are centralized in the arts, crafts, and trades that are woodworking. But, we have another focus in our Patriot Woodworker community, we are the only woodworking community that was founded on our care and concern for our disabled veterans.
Volunteer
The Patriot Woodworkers are an all volunteer community, from the staff and hosts who run our online woodworking community to the members who frequent our forums, you'll find volunteers in all of us. We are not on a payroll, unless you consider the spiritual rewards gained from volunteering, as compensation.
Education
One of the many projects we are working on is a wiki for our online community. A wiki is a great way for woodworkers and enthusiasts to share their knowledge to others, and to impart their knowledge for others to learn from, and utilize as well for their own benefit. We hope you'll consider being a wiki contributor.
