Buzzard

Hi everyone, anyone want to buy a few tonnes of sawdust?

-- What am I making? Who said I am making anything?

Welcome to LJ’s.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Thanks trifern. WOW! I see you live near a place called “Normal”... how cool is that? I guess not much happens in Normal! It must have been hard for the founding fathers to decide between Normal and Ordinary.

Hello Buzzard,

Welcome to LJs. I hope that you will find this to be an exciting and rewarding part of your woodworking journey.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Thanks Scott, Kentucky??? Yeah… I spent a few years under the influence of one of your great exports to the world… someone called Jack. Also a rather refreshing beverage which was apparently distilled from the liquid secretions of feral turkeys. Life’s a bit tamer now as I mainly survive by ingesting copious amounts of sawdust (in spite of the world’s noisiest DC- 3HP of unbridled suck)! Yes! I use a mask (I only have one effective lung after the Army) so I have to take care but I still always seem to have the taste of sawdust in my mouth. Now where did I put that bottle of Jack? Ah, memories!

Thanks grumpy. Buzzard? I was in the Army overseas, trying to boil water for coffee over a hexamine stove during a monsoonal downpour, a hoochie over me… with (apparently) only my nose showing from the side. One of the guys reckoned I looked like a giant buzzard waiting for something to die. Forty years later I’m still Buzzard to those guys! Funny thing about the military… all these years later and I still don’t know some of their real Christian names- just their nicknames. Still love ‘em all, though! Even my first late wife (I’ve been widowed twice to cancer) was affectionately always called “Mrs. Buzzard”.

Thanks Callum,

I wish I’d started as young as you! I’m sure I’d have a lot more skill than I do now!

Thanks Paul. Love your plane avatar. While I have a lot of great power equipment, I love using my large collection of antique and veteran hand planes, all of which are in full working order and are used regularly and not just display items.

Warm regards.
