Well I got a little more accomplished.
I did a little design change today, I removed what I called the chin at the bottom side of the heart.
I held a piece of stiff sand paper, & drew a cutting line, then proceeded cut off the chins.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Note; the cut off line.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A big improvement with no chins. I call this “Wooden surgery.”

I said I wasn’t going to enter, but I opened up the latest issue of “Woodworkers Journal,”
They had a centerfold of how to make a bandsawn box. I read it over, & right away I thought, there’s something
I can try, & make one for the L J’s contest.
I’ve never tried making a bandsawn box before, & besides that, it would be a good test for my new Rikon.
I’ve had these nice blocks of burly maple that I picked up at our local city pa...

I wasn’t planning on entering, but yesterday the bug bit me.
I usually like to use the material I have on hand, & I couldn’t find a 2×4, so I decided to make a box.
I drew up a pattern of what I wanted to make, & proceeded on my adventure.
That’s all I’m going to show you today is a picture of the piece of wood I’m using.
After all, this is top secret!
Continued!

Hi!I have previously submitted a soundtrack of the Cain Guitar.
The other day My Son brought over a DVD of a Graduation party.
The father of the Graduate arranged to have music by a band made up of himself, playing the drums, & some other friends.
They got together , & practiced a few times. It turned out really nice.
My Granddaughter did the camera work on this, I think she did a fantastic job.
I hope you all enjoy this.

These are from another view point.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~You may notice a lot of dead Birch trees. I guess a bug called “Saw Fly” is responsible.I leave them for the Flickers.

I’ve been fiddling around, & organizing my photos. I took a little break, & made this short slideshow video. These picture where taken last fall, 2006.This video was taken kind of close to the cabin. I have another with the tripod set from a different vantage point. I’ll post that in another blog.

I’m sorry, I haven’t been very active lately, I’ve been familiarizing myself with my new computer. It takes time to transfer the oodles of my picture files, plus learning a new system.
We were up at our cabin a few days last week, closing it down for the season, & on the way home this Cub ran across in front of us. The road is real close to the lake, & by the looks of his fur, he had just taken a bath. I stopped, & took these pictures from inside the car.
I...

This is a knife I made almost 60 years ago. _Bob, reminded me of this in his metal working blog. I told Bob I’d get a picture of it, But the knife now lives with my oldest Son down in AR. He kindly sent me some pictures.
Our high school offered an General metals course, in 10th grade. The first 1/3 of the year we learned how to weld, both Gas, & Electric arc. The next 1/3 we did blacksmithing, & forging. The last 1/3 we did pattern making, & casting aluminum.
This knif...

Hi,I’ve been playing around with my new” iMac. This will send you to my forum topic, Buying a new computer.
I found out that there’s more work involved, when you replace a computer. When I got my first PC, I was starting from scratch, but this time transferring files, plus trying to learn some new things on this system is quite a chore.
My Son was helping me the other day so he got in the show.
It’s kind of strange having such a large screen, but it sure nice...

Barb was feeling better last Thursday, so we took a jaunt up to our cabin for the day.
We new in advance what to expect when we got there. Our good Neighbor called us a about it.
A big old Black Spruce tree, between 90, & 100 years old, had blown down right in front of our cabin.
He was kind enough to cut some of the lower branches that were on our dock.
We were fortunate, because it missed or dock by an eye lash. It destroyed a glider, but I didn’t feel too bad, because...
