MWTCA May 2021 'What's It' Project (841)
John Morris posted a topic in The MWTCA "What's It" Project
"What's It" Basic Rules Reminder For a full run down on this project and rules please go to: "The Patriot Woodworker and MWTCA "What's It" project" Only Patriot Woodworker Members are eligible to participate and receive the award. The MWTCA only accepts a verified source to support your answer, so one should be submitted with your answer, such as a patent, catalog entry, tool book reference, or a respectable website on the subject. Do not let these requirements prevent you from having fun and submitting educated answers on the subject without verification, we can worry about references later. All answers are welcome, as well as healthy debates regarding "What's It". If a verified and referenced answer is not arrived at by the end of each month's "What's It" project, a random draw will be performed for a "One Year MWTCA Club Membership". Only Patriot Woodworker's who participate in this "What's It" topic will be included in the random draw. Additional What's It Rules Unless you are completely sure what this item is, please avoid "definitive statements" that appear that you are without a doubt claiming that you know what the item is. For example stating, "this item is called a "widget xx" used for "insert purpose here". If you are making a definitive statement you must accompany your statement with evidence or proof from a secondary source. An example of acceptable statements within the realm of having fun and educated guesses would be something like this, "I believe it could be", or "It appears it's made for this or that", etc etc etc... Ok ladies and gentlemen, we now have our "What's it" live and ready! The image(s) below is a MWTCA "What's It" image for you to research, and tell us all here in this topic post, just what the heck is it! Project Details The information provided hereon is all the information that is provided, no further information on this item will be added. -

Memorial Day This is not a day of celebration, this is not a day to say "Happy Memorial Day", as we often see the banners streaming across the door way of a big box store, or your car dealers lot, "Happy Memorial Day!". My friends, there is nothing happy about it. This day is not a happy occasion to celebrate. It is a day of solemn remembrance for those who gave their lives under the banner of our nation. Photo: 16-year-old Deandra Christiansen, whose veteran father, Eric Christiansen, passed away in April 2013 at the age of 45. The teenager was among hundreds of relatives who gathered at Great Lakes National Cemetery in Holly, Michigan. Memorial Day, a day of memorializing the men and women who died while in service. This is a serious day, a day that, in a perfect world we should never have to recognize. But the reality is our country has been at the tip of the spear in conflicts around the world since the time of our existence as a nation. And we have lost many Americans. In today's challenging domestic environment it's even more crucial than ever to give our attention to the service members who have given all to our nation in order to ensure that the citizens of our nation can go about our daily lives, living and enjoying the fruits of labor that our military and the men and women who serve have provided, and continue to provide. All too often many people in our nation will forget what this day is all about, the youth today are losing sight of what it means to give, to sacrifice, to put the person standing beside them first, instead of putting themselves first. As adults, we need to remind our youth constantly that we live in a very exceptional country, and they should take nothing for granted. We should teach them the importance of our military, and we should remind them that if for one day our military stopped working, that would be the day life as they know it would change in an instant. Our enemies would exploit the weakness, and over run our shores. Our military is a great wall, a barrier between us and the bad actors of the world. Sometimes our military has to take the fight to them, instead of letting them come here to our nation. And our men and women have given their lives on some far off piece of land in order to ensure our safety here at home. We need to drive that message home to our own kids, their friends, and even often times, the adults around us. Photo: Christian Golcyznski accepts his fathers flag, Christian is one youth who will never forget the true meaning of Memorial Day. Lets enjoy the day off, lets enjoy being in the company of the ones we love, but the whole while, lets not let the feeling of solemness, and remembrance leave our hearts. We owe those who are no longer with us, that. Just one day is all they are asking. Memorial Day. I pray that God will keep in a very special place those who died in service and long after, for they are the ones who gave of themselves selflessly, and they will be "Forever Young". And we'd like to ask all who read this to pray or offer a word of thanks at your barbecue for our troops both past and present, and set out an empty table setting over an empty chair at your dinner table, in memory, and in hope that our men and women serving today will always return home safe, and whole in mind and body. Also may God Bless our great and very special nation, and may He protect those in harms way as they serve our country and its people today, and into the future.

Good Monday Morning! Good Monday morning Patriot Woodworkers! What did you get done over the weekend, and what have you planned for the week ahead! Inquiring minds want to know. Please tell us what's happening in your shops, your life, and any events going on with you. Thank you for being here folks! Today is a day of reflection for our family, and also a chance to unite and be in each others presence. We are going to do the traditional barbecue but only with the four of us, mama and me, our son and our oldest daughter, our youngest girl is in the Army and away, so we are missing her always and our elderly relatives are staying put in their homes. This will be the first Memorial Day that our baby girl is not with us, and these firsts will continue as along as she is in the Army and away from us. From what our soldier tells us, the command is creating a nice day of barbecue and camaraderie for the troops and their families on base with flags flying half mast. Yesterday myself, mama and our two remaining kids, hiked the woods and enjoyed some peaceful scenery. We walked and walked, until we came upon a thin narrow trail with a sign at the entrance, that stated "Mountain Lion sighted May 21, proceed with caution". We decided to not proceed, in our experience and exposure to this area, our lions can be very aggressive and groups of people don't seem to phase them much anymore, so we just turned around and headed back. But not before me and mama got a picture! The Morris family wishes you all the best today, please be safe, stay sane, and if you are away from home and may have indulged in the fun a little too much, please call a taxi, or ask a sober friend to drive home. Have a good, meaningful Memorial day!

Please tell us what's happening in your shops, your life, and any events going on with you. Thank you for being here folks! This past weekend was a bunch of errands for me, doc appointments all day Friday, then running around town Saturday with my daughter to pick up painting supplies for her room, and we helped grandma with moving a tv up to her front room, and Sunday I took a breather and got lazy, watched The Patriot with my son, and I viewed YouTube videos on Longrifle building. I did walk out to my shop and I went through the contents of a Kennedy machinists chest and it was filled with mainly watchmaker supplies. I have three of these chests that I inherited a couple years ago. The chest are really nice, high quality. The contents are interesting and I may be able to use quite a few of the relics in my upcoming gunsmithing agenda.

Friday May 1st 2020, Good Morning Everyone! We made it through April! For a change it's not raining here "Two Weeks From Anywhere" in S.E Wisconsin, and the SUN IS SHINING! For those of you still doing those "Essential Jobs" we again Thank, and Salute You. Some states are lifting their "Stay At Home" restrictions, and allowing some business's to reopen. So for those of you returning to work we hope you stay well. As for us we intend to continue practicing safe social distancing, and continue following "The Cool School Mule's" advice. "Be Cool, Don't Be A Fool, Wear Your Face Mask" Once the lakes in our yard subside I'll be trying to get some yard work done. So what's on your weekend agenda?

I have continued to scan my collection of Workbench Magazine plans for our guests and members to download from our Files Department, and I thought I'd share the Shop Tips section of the magazine as well. As is the case with my file downloads for plans from Workbench Magazine, the same applies here, I have received permission from the current Workbench Magazine to publish the old articles and plans on the open source web. Please see the collection of plans as well at https://thepatriotwoodworker.com/files/ Enjoy! These tips still apply to our work today, very cool!
