Update from Rustic's shop

Not much to report at this time. Just finished the mock ups for a set of birdhouses that a client has ordered. (She knows I am taking my time to get it right. I have recently bought a 26 gauge (I believe) pin nailer so I can tack the sides on the birdhouses without splitting. Bought the Harbor Freight brand and love it.

I am getting my shop cleaned up as well. Jockmike2 and his lovelyy wife will be here next weekend. I have also been playing with the new sign crafter upgrade kit I bought at the woodworking show in Taylor. Starting to get it figured out.

I am also looking to get some DC hoses this week from Woodcraft so I can set up my shopvac as a mini dust collector.

I have also been doing some non woodworking things like installing a new hard drive on my "work" PC and installing Ubuntu inside Windows so I can play with it.

On top of all that I am looking for work and getting ready to go back to school.

Will post pics of the progress as I can. (no batteries for the camera).

And I am paying a visit to Mike's school of woodturning on Fr.

Update from Rustic's shop

I know I haven't been posting alot of projects lately, that is because I have been volunteering at a company called The Geek Group that LJ'er Tskvinna is working with. I have been trying to denail and mill 12- 1/2 tons of maple flooring so they can sell it to help fund their endeavors. I am slowly getting back into the shop. I have 1 customer order for a cutting board that I need to busy on. I am also still (at this time) unemployed. I have 3 offers on the table. Just waiting for one of them to pop. I am still trying to get the eagle head mounted. Will post that one soon. So hopefully more to come soon.

You gotta quit volunteering and work for money buddy, that's the way it's supposed to work, in my world anyway. Although I did volunteer at a rehab facility as part of my practicum in college. But that worked out, they hired me, as the boss said, they had to, I just wouldn't go away. LOL mike
