Grumbles from the shop #13: Woodworkers spark the end of western civilization
Not many grumbles from the shop these days. It seems that when a contractor orders a kitchen he expects a completion date. Go figure. Health issues have limited my work day to an hour or two a day. So projects are few and far between. Unfortunatel...

I build furniture, but I don’t have a store. Most of my furniture has been sold in furniture galleries in southern Idaho.

I tried the glue and water on a scrap piece of wood and then spayed it with clear laquer and it turned out a nice piece. after doing this I used the same system on both woodburned wall clocks and they both turned out real nice I think. It not only made all the wood stick together but also gave a deep look to the finish. Look at the two pieces and tell me what you think. thank you Jim

I just realized Dennis that we’re buddies and I never visited your profile. But you did’nt write much about yourself. I’ve gathered from our conversations that you’re a hard working, artistic, good humored smart fellow that probably enjoys his life quite a bit. Anyway I’m glad to have met you and have you as a friend. jockmike

Hey Dennis, thanks for the welcome. I hope you are not completely snowed in down there. I heard that all roads were closed just north of you but not sure how bad it is along the 84 corridor. Even in the snow, lumber still calls me however. A slab of wood under each foot and a stick in each hand. Ski on.

Hi Dennis,
I just read your comment on, A sign of the new economic times?.
I’m sorry, you just don’t deserve it.
I hope things start getting better for you.

Thanks Dick. Last year I started building kitchens even though I make less than installing just because I saw this coming. It still wasn’t enough.
