Debbie challenged me to a Video duel. Pardon my stuttering, & stammering, because I’m just a Lumberjock, & I don’t care. Notice the Lumberjocks T-shirt, my PC camera shows a mirror image, & I can’t figure it out. Don’t forget to watch MsDebbieP’s happy dance. Also Martin’s Happy Dance.
Since I bought my first computer about 4 years ago, I’ve digitized all of my pictures. I had all of my slides put on disks, & made a jig, so I could take pictures of all of my old negatives. It took me quite awhile. Now I’d like to show some pictures of my Grandparents farm where I used to spend my summers. As soon as school was let out, I’d jump on a Greyhound bus for a 200 mile trip to Northwestern Minnesota. It was during World War II, in the early 1940...
I finally have some time to show off our contest prize. As you may know, we won 3rd place in the contest The prize was a CUSTOM BRANDING IRON, donated by Terry Desilets. The prize was supposed to be a Stock Branding Iron, but I opted to have a custom one made. I sent Terry a sample of my signature. And he designed it to be compatible with a brand design. He sent me 2 samples to choose from, & I chose AThe finished size of the brand is a 3/4” X 1” oval The...
The last couple of days, I’ve been working on the tabletop. I mortised out the breadboards, & cut the tenons. I kind of fell for the cloud lift theme, so I incorporated into the top. You might want to call this a sideways cloud lift. I decided to try something from the latest issue of Fine Woodworking, They call it draw bored pegging on the breadboards. This is something I’ve never tried before, so we’ll see what happens. Check out my latest Video, hope you ...
I’ve been really busy trying to learn SketchUp. My Son needs a new front porch on his home. I decided this would be a good way to learn SketchUp. His old concrete steps have been gradually leaning, & it makes the whole house seem crooked. He said if he sits on a step, he feels like he’s going to fall off. This was quite an experience for me, because I’ve used a T-square, & triangles for so long. This project took me an awfully long time, but I learn...

This is a continuation of #5 in this series.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have the slat wall paneling completed. Now, how am I going to arrange my tools? This is the last wall, I ripped my boards in half to 1 5/8”. I like it better this way. There’s more slots for arranging tools. The space between the slats is 5/16”. The furring is 1/4” x 1 1/8” ~~~~~~~~~~~~...
I showed Barb this kit the other day, & immediately she said, ”I want one.” When the Sweetie wants something, I usually comply to her wishes. Besides, I can try making something I’ve never done before. This is the kit I ordered, it's called a Reverie Harp.. One thing about this Harp is, anyone can play it because of the way it’s tuned. It has a real soothing sound.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a picture of the parts ...
