Grizz, Thanks for sharing a piece of your life with us. I enjoyed the trip. Great shop you have…and you are a wood pack rat like myself….I think mine comes from running out of wood on several occassions and then deciding I’m going to get as much as I can when I can…LOL…

Keep up the good work…a hobby like this keeps you on your toes and give the brain alot of excercise…

-- Woodworking.....My small slice of heaven!

thanks so much for the great and kind words..you folks here at lumber jocks have become my support and friends when ive needed it…....your the best of the best…...thank you…....

You’ve got a really unique, and very cool shop … and some pretty varied and fascinating stores of wood (though I’m sorry for the loss of your ww friend).

And … as one disabled guy to another—I feel your pain. But … we give thanks for the good days, and we do our best on the not-so-good days. I know this isn’t the /best/ hobby for MY eyes. I can’t imagine it’s the best for your back, either.

But … sometimes … the joy of the thing we are doing is MORE than enough compensation for the extra misery we bring on ourselves :-)

Anyway … good stuff. I look forward to watching you transform that beautiful wood into inspired creations!

and thank you very much david for your kind words…ive had this as in issue for about 14 years now…and the surgery’s were in 96 and 2002..and didnt get better…..its been a major life changeing thing, that took me a long time to come to terms with…as i lost my ability to work and am not able to sit…so if im not on my feet im laying on the bed…where i have my computer set up on a rolling stand….but i make it all work..i love wood working to much to not do what i can…..and i thank you for your encouragment..meeting you and some of the others here at lumber jocks has been a life changing event….i dont know of but one wood worker in this area…so no one to relate with or have this in common…..thanks david..

Hey Grizz, great shop. I guess many of us older guys have some more or less serious health issues. But the shop is a great place to spend time when the body allows. I think it is mentally healthy if nothing else. I wouldn’t mind dropping by for some bacon and eggs, but the distance is intimidating! Thanks for the invitation though.
