  1. The Drawing Dear all, our contributors/donors names have been extracted from our data base and the personal checks we received were included as well, the single and multiple name entries were hand entered into a text (.txt) file by the amount contributed, the text file was then copy and pasted into an online Random Name Picker. As the names were drawn, they were assigned to each item provided by our sponsors in the same order as listed at the Warrior Family Project Page. I wish all who contributed could walk away with something, but I know that was not your priority, the family was at the center of all this, and I greatly appreciate that from you all. Recipients We'd like to congratulate the following recipients of the wonderful machinery and tools donated by our sponsors. Laguna 14|12 Bandsaw - @PostalTom Easy Wood Tools Parting Tool - @Masonsailor Easy Wood Tools Parting Tool - @Steve Krumanaker Woodriver Standard Block Plane with Adjustable Mouth - @Cliff Woodriver No.4 Bench Plane - Alfred Tickell Our Sponsors We also want to issue a hearty thanks to our sponsors of this annual tradition here at The Patriot Woodworker. Woodcraft Supply, Easy Wood Tools, and Laguna Tools, thank you for all your support in the past, now, and hopefully into the future. We are very appreciative of your support, we couldn't do any of this without your help. What's Next For our prize recipients, please message myself with your shipping address, so I can inform our sponsors where to ship your item. Also, within the next two weeks, we'll be doing the financial review of this project and once we get it all squared away and the numbers jive, we'll disclose the results here, and a check will be drawn for the remaining funds to be sent to the Hine family. I am thinking, and this is just an off the top of my head estimate, we brought in just under 3000.00 and we should be able to get a check out to the family in the range of 1500.00, I am sure this will help get them off to a better 2021. Remember, 100 percent of your contributions go to the family project. Thank you all once again, I am personally very proud of what you all accomplished here for the Hine Family, I know our Admins and Staff are proud of your efforts as well. You all did this, we just stood by and watched it happen, we are forever grateful for all you do Patriot Woodworker's and Guests, and so are the families we support each year.

Featured image The following article was written in 2018 just before Armistice Day. For 32 years, a 10-foot model of the battleship USS Louisiana has been taking shape — slowly, painstakingly — in Dr. Ron Kennedy's Baton Rouge workshop. Now, in time to celebrate 100 years since World War I ended, it's finally over, over there, and in its permanent home. Kennedy's meticulously detailed model of the warship will be unveiled when the USS Kidd Veterans Museum observes the centennial of Armistice Day at 1 p.m. Sunday. "This is what it looked like when she was launched," Kennedy said. "It's as accurate as it could be." Kennedy took up the project when then-U.S. Rep. Henson Moore suggested the museum needed a model of the ship, which was launched in 1904. It carried President Theodore Roosevelt to the Panama Canal in 1906, the first time a sitting president had left the country. From December 1907 to February 1909, it circumnavigated the world as part of the "Great White Fleet" that Roosevelt sent to display U.S. military power. The Louisiana saw little action in World War I, and it was sold for scrap in 1923. The figurehead on the ship's bow is displayed at BREC's City Park. Kennedy used to see the figurehead when he was a child. "So, I always had that in my mind, and when I started building models, I always thought one day I'd build a model of the Louisiana," he said. It took Kennedy longer to build the model than the real battleship actually existed, but he made every piece himself, and studied diagrams obtained from the National Archives and photos to get everything just right. "What I did was use the drawings to build it and use the pictures of the Louisiana to make it exactly like the Louisiana was as opposed to the other ships," Kennedy said. The museum's commemoration Sunday will include a talk by Steven Rabalais, author of a biography of Gen. Fox Connor, the chief of operations for Gen. John Pershing, who commanded Army forces that fought in World War I. The museum's World War I exhibit will be on display, and visitors will be invited to place poppies beside the names of those from Louisiana who died in that war.

Freedom From Want Freedom from Want is the third in a series of four oil paintings entitled Four Freedoms by Norman Rockwell. They were inspired by Franklin D. Roosevelt's State of the Union Address, known as Four Freedoms, delivered to the 77th United States Congress on January 6, 1941. In the early 1940s, Roosevelt's Four Freedoms themes were still vague and abstract to many, but the government used them to help boost patriotism. The Four Freedoms' theme was eventually incorporated into the Atlantic Charter, and it became part of the charter of the United Nations. The series of paintings ran in The Saturday Evening Post accompanied by essays from noted writers on four consecutive weeks: Freedom of Speech (February 20), Freedom of Worship (February 27), Freedom from Want (March 6), and Freedom from Fear (March 13). Eventually, the series was widely distributed in poster form and became instrumental in the U.S. Government War Bond Drive. The painting shows an aproned matriarch presenting a roasted turkey to a family of several generations, in Rockwell's idealistic presentation of family values. The patriarch looks on with fondness and approval from the head of the table, which is the central element of the painting. Its creased tablecloth shows that this is a special occasion for "sharing what we have with those we love", according to Lennie Bennett. The table has a bowl of fruit, celery, pickles, and what appears to be cranberry sauce. There is a covered silver serving dish that would traditionally hold potatoes, according to Richard Halpern, but Bennett describes this as a covered casserole dish. The servings are less prominent than the presentation of white linen, white plates and water-filled glasses. The people in the painting are not yet eating, and the painting contrasts the empty plates and vacant space in their midst with images of overabundance.

I have already started the purchase of the kids gifts and we are more than a quarter of the way to our goal for the fundraiser! Though the project ends on New Years Eve, we'd like to have the goal reached by mid December, I am going to front the proceeds up to $2000.00 in hopes that by the end of the year, we'll have met that goal, for my comfort level though it'd be nice to see that goal met earlier, so I'm counting on you all to get the word out to your friends, co-workers, and within your other social media and forum arenas, and let em all know they can make some kids happy this year for Christmas. One thing I had not thought of was that we are in the midst of the Covid19, so that is going to have an impact on donations, many folks are out of work or low on funds, so our fundraising for this project may fall short. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for all the help many of you have provided for our Christmas project, past and future. If you have not yet donated, and wish to do so, head on over and meet the family and contribute today! Community update We changed servers again, and in the process we acquired more memory and server space, to do this we dipped into the funds raised from our Summer Raffle, you all may notice our site running much smoother and faster! We also recently had a core software update and our theme developer fixed some issues we had with the updates. There are also some pretty neat new things going on with our theme and how you view our community. Please see screen shot below and the two icons circled in red. Click on the icon on the left, and you'll be able to choose some nifty backgrounds for your viewing. Also there are two items I think many here will find are pretty cool, if you enable "Fluid Width" you'll be able to change our community view to full screen. If you enable "Larger font size for posts" you'll be able to view the text in a larger font within the topics, for our sight challenged folks, like me . Now click on the paint brush icon, we have always had the paint brush icon, here you can choose the main colors of your community view, play around with it, it's kind of fun! That's it from me this morning folks, running late and gotta run to work, have a wonderful week ahead, and thank you for being here!

The idea was simple. Build the bench, then have kids write their name on the edge of a piece of basswood held in the bench’s leg vise, then plane off the shaving (along with their name) and place it in a box for a drawing the next day. The winner would take the bench home with them."

This is perhaps the most refined of his few surviving works. He was strongly influenced by his proximity to two important schools of gunmaking: the Emmitsburg School, to the south in Maryland, and the Chambersburg School, to the west in Franklin County.

Featured image An incredible collaboration of art between husband and wife. See the full story here at House Brothers Project. Frank and Lally wanted to create a work of art that would be a composite of their individual mediums. The concept evolved into a unique, powerful sculpture they named Nechasin. Pronounced, nay-Cha-seen, a Lenape ~ Delaware name meaning 'to be watchful'. This mixed media sculpture is a testament of 18th century culture. Originally Frank imagined a rifleman or other entity that may have carried the sword, but as the idea evolved, Lally's artwork dictated that the piece should be Native American, specifically Delaware. This tribe was known for fierceness and tenacity as warriors, however, they preferred to choose a path of peace when possible. The sculpture incorporates a number of Frank and Lally's pieces, including a rifle, tomahawk, powder horn, and quillwork. Its head and hands are a composite of carved wood overlaid with mosaic bone and sculptured ivory. The body is willow-bough framework covered with cotton batting and homespun linen.

Please tell us what's happening in your shops, your life, and any events going on with you. Thank you for being here folks! I had a semi productive time in the shop this weekend, got a good start on my Gun Range Shooting Bench for my son and I. We'll use it to shoot off of for sighting in, only spent a few hours on it, gluing the boards together, and getting some edges glued and nailed to the sides to help provide rigidity and to just give it a nice strong appearance. I'll install folding legs on it, and maybe a small drawer on the front for small "possibles and what not's". It was my dads 87th birthday on August 12th, but we drove up Sunday to his home in the mountains and visited, we brought up lunch, and we had a birthday cake for him, below is Dad with my wife, and my two kids, our other daughter is away in the Army, so she isn't seen in many of our most recent photos anymore . But Grandpa was happy, and he enjoyed his day. I also want to thank you all for the wonderful wishes you sent for the passing of my Army buddy, it's been a rough week last, his family has a long road ahead of them, I want to thank you all for your prayers.

Featured link Our featured links are website links added by staff and members, add your favorite links today at "Links Directory" Featured download Featured video This morning I thought we'd change things up a little bit, with a featured video instead of an image. Selfishly (my new interest) I have installed this video about a young man who builds Flintlock rifles from scratch, from the forging of the barrel, to the carving of the stock. Wallace Gusler was a well known gunsmith for period rifles, he has passed away but he left behind a legacy that is honored and sought after to this day. This film made in 1968, was shown in many high school wood shops and metal shops back in the day, an educational video. As woodworkers we have much in common with the gunsmith, and in this video you won't be disappointed. I sat down yesterday and finally watched the video from beginning to end, and loved it, it's almost an hour long, I know many just don't have the time to sit and watch a suggested one hour video, but if you find yourself in an "interested" mood, and you have an hour to spare, you'll love the craftsmanship that this young man at the time possesses, it's amazing what he knows, his talent is hard to find today, only a handful of gun builders can do what he did. Enjoy!
