Have a wonderful 2017! I gotta tell ya, I about fell off my seat when I saw those sticks in the image, been looking for those forever. Right above my head where I use the TS! It's true, our service members are giving back even after service in active duty, just by allowing us regulars to perform work for them, gives us a sense of fulfillment that a price cannot be placed on.

Gene Howe Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 24 minutes ago, John Morris said: True Stick, not to say your old, but the older generation of woodworkers did start out with non power, then had to move to power to make it faster on demand, than as you circle back in life, you are making it back to non power, getting back to your roots, is that the way I am supposed to read that? But, but, but...some of our roots are in power tools. I do some hand sanding, though. And, use a block plane some times. Does that count?

p_toad Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 What John says is true. My dad and a good friend died of mouth/throat cancer (lifelong smoker...i never touch the stuff).... It's bad seeing what happens. Like very much your pictures and your shop space. Thank you for all you do. Cleaning up? Even the circus has someone following the elephants around. Not fun, but very necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not fun, but very necessary. Don't even have to smoke. The gent I'm talking about only chewed his! Our local small zoo used to bring an elephant out to parades and other functions. I remember on one charity walk, Angus was suffering from diarrhea. Felt sorry for the poor kid following him with a wheelbarrow and shovel! But I guess a job is a job.

Dadio Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 You are well organized, John and thanks for showing such a clean well organized shop. Makes me kind of ashamed. By the way congrats on being the LeaderBoard winner for October. Herb Grandpadave52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
