My silly sense of humor

Nice gift. I really think you need to make one for your Mother-in-law. Your father-in-law would appreciate it that it’s not him.

-- making sawdust....

You should probably use your router to cut an “S” in the side … make sure folks know it’s salt… ;-)

Very funny – love the sense of humor and am jealous I didn’t think of doing something like this myself!

Thanks ,I needed a good laugh tonight . I could see several of them all nicely boxed and gift wrapped under the tree next Christmas : ) Welcome to LJs !

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

Erik, There is an UP side to the In-Laws first impression of your woodworking skills. At least they won’t be asking you to spend all your time making gifts for them! Hope your fisrt attempts at using the lathe TURN out well. Thanks for the “CHUCKles” “O’ CHUCKless” one.

-- I love the smell of sawdust in the morning....

I laughed at this till my gut hurt… your sense of humor rocks. You’ll get along with everyone here juuuuust fine…. LOL

CessnaPilotBarry – Now I’m curious of what it was.

Dan – That’s a good thought. Someone might mistake it for a pepper mill. Or an ashtray. I could re-do the top and make the shaker holes in an S shape.

Thanks for the nice comments. It’s good to see some people enjoy a little silliness.

I forgot, I had made a sketchup plan too

Oh, I should have guessed…I won’t speculate on the finish.

My uncle was notorious for giving unappreciated gifts to my aunt. One time she spouted, “What’ll it be for my birthday, an electric booger-picker?” So, my father and my uncle made one.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA Gad zuks I have tears!

-- Never board, always knotty, lots of growth rings

That is just awesome. Unfortunately it does hit rather close to home for some of us ($600 worth of planes, dust of some exotic wood, practice dovetails, and something classy in plywood to prove we actually make stuff in our man-cave).

I particularly like the Sketchup plan!

-- Bob Costello

Is that for rock salt or kosher salt?
In any case, looks like the salt of the earth.

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

Wow, Nice job. How much would a set of plans cost me?

success—looks just like your sketchup plans! :)
