Happy anniversary, thanks for the advice, the good times, shared memories, and being a friend.

Hopefully will finish my miter bars today on the sled, then a couple of stops. Got a little lazy yesterday, but should do better today. I assume spring is well on its way there, I see temps there in the 40’s and 50’s F, close to 10 C. As I write this it is 33 degrees, it will rise to 43 deg F, about 6 deg C. Still a lot of snow on the ground, but it is melting fast. May get to a blog item today, we will see.

My bench tote that I made out of MDF with the oak feet is now full of tools. I added a set of punches. As I was working in the shop on Friday, I noted I walked over to the bench and carried that tote over to my work position at one of the project tables. Not what I thought would happen, but I wanted ready access to a number of tools on it. It is more portable than my ancient Tommy tote with its electrical bent. Tommy takes up a lot of real estate as well.

Hope Lillian is getting around better now, and your chores perhaps reduced some.

Work has been fairly demanding of late, but I think next week is a little lighter….......Have a good Easter, (Sherie is making a ham with all the fixings).......and may your next year on LJ’s be even better than the last….............

Thanks everyone, my wife is doing well, but slow recovery after two major surgeries within 5 months and having to put up with me on top of it! It’s a real privilege to be counted as one among you. I’ve been a little overwhelmed with “duties” recently and so haven’t had the energy to participate as much as I would like. I am amazed at all the great projects posted and I have tried to comment on a few, but not nearly enough.

I have squeezed in a jewelry box project for my future DIL. The first box made of Mahogany I blogged earlier was a disaster (inlay problems). The replacement box is white Oak and the Mahogany inlay, while far from perfect is a lot better and finished, but I still have a way to go on the rest. I’ll post it as a blog when it’s completed.

Regarding the inlay, once again I have done it my own way and I have discovered a few interesting things which I plan to share with with you. I can’t promise you will learn anything by it, but it might at least give you a good laugh or two. The work is all done with a scroll saw. Otherwise nothing special is needed except for a blade of course! If you do not have a scroll saw I sincerely hope you will get one. It is a VERY useful tool in the shop.

Meanwhile I wish all of you and your family and friends a very happy Easter.

I love allways enjoy your posts, and especially your lovely irony, and smiles between the words.
