Your woodworking may be the best outlet for your creative talents. As your experience unfolds, your inner direction may fall towards special areas of the craft. You may also find that the work may be an indicator of your stresses and anxiety, and conversely, your happiness and serenity.

thanks :)
It will be interesting to see the journey unfold.

-- "Functional WoodArt" by Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Debbie, you are the Lumberjocks special touch. You have encouraged each of us to be our be our best and accomplish all of our righteous desires. Thanks for all the encouragement.

aw Thanks DrS.
Now if only I can live up to my own encouragement!! :)

Debbie, thanks for the clean shop comments. I probably should have left it dirty to make it look like I was doing something.

Debbie, as you know, I’m in Vancouver with my grandchildren. My oldest grandchild and only granddaughter, Maddie, (I tell her that she’s my favorite granddaughter. LOL) was sitting looking at my laptop which I left on to the home page of this site.

Your name appears at the top the the Jocks list, so she asked me, “Who’s Debbie?”

Now it was important to answer this as unambiguously as one can for a nine year old. (I won’t go into the details of this, suffice it to say Debbie is the reason Maddie’s mother is no longer married to Maddie’s father.)

So I showed her your projects and described you as a Artist with Wood. Her eyes lit up and she asked to see more of your work. This I gladly did, because Maddie has exhibited real artistic appreciation herself and enrolls every summer in a Summer Art Class.

“Are they for sale, Grandpa?” Can we buy her stuff? She loved you first box and said that she could put all kinds of treasures in it.

I thought that you’d appreciate hearing about an admirer. I told her that I would let you know that she likes your work.

Welcome to LumberJocks! Let’s see some woodworking. Great podcast!

-- Jesus is Lord!

awwwwww :)

Don, tell Maddie that I am honoured that an artist such as herself likes my work! She sounds like she is a very artistic and passionate young lady.

Thanks Os re: the podcast. Spring is getting in the way of woodworking. Hopefully in a couple of weeks I’ll be able to build something else.

MsDebbieP Thanks for the comment on my table. I see you live in Brantford? My family is from there.

Hello Debbie

I am overwelmed with all the comments I am getting. I am not really a joiner of club or website but this one seems to good to pass up. I will now try to answer your question about the bottom of the ottoman. I pulled the material under the bottom and stapled it. next I warped a piece of material around a piece of rope and stapled it on the bottom so the wrapped cord slight stuck out from the edge. finally I cut strips of black matt board the width of the bottom edge. I stapled the matt board on the bottom pushed close up to the edge of the cord which covred the bottom edge and gave it a finished look.

Goodmorning Debbie,
I do love photography, I’m not a photographer be any stretch, but we are surrounded by an incredible world. There are days when I feel like I am walking around in a post card, does that make any sense? anyhow the sun is comin, we live on solar so when the sun hits the panels I try to get all my power tool work done before the clouds.
take care,
harold

-- If knowledge is not shared, it is forgotten.

I’m jealous about the solar power!

the sun this morning was absolutely stunning. I know exactly what you mean re: post card. We are surrounded by beauty – in everything. You just have to know how to “see”.

Hi Debbie. I want to thank you for all the nice comments you have made about my stuff. I kinda like to know how one gets featured in the ” We love to work with wood” on the LJ home page? I hope this isn’t a stupid question because I’m still new at this LJ stuff. Thanks Bob.

it’s not a stupid question at all.

The home page works on a “random selection” basis primarily. Click refresh and you’ll get new woodworkers featured. It’s really fun to log in and see your projects posted.
