Good to see all of my old friends and a few new ones. I wish I could spend more time But I had to take a full time job to supplement my failing biz. Hard doses to swallow lately, it seems every turn I take is met with calamity. I’m standing as tall as I can. More later, I miss you Guys and Gals.
Props to Charlie, Gary, Blake and the rest on your recent projects. You know I would like them!!!

Great to hear from you again Chuck!... Keep hanging on, man. Like Charlie said, one day at a time….

Really sorry about the biz. Times are tough. You’ll find your footing, I’m sure, maybe in an unexpected place. Good luck and make some time for the wood.

Yes they are Zuki! I need to get out there as soon as I can – I am dying inside without my beloved Sequioia’s. I am glad you enjoyed the site, I made it for you and everyone else who can’t afford to go as Much as I usually do. I made it for you!!!!
Thanks to Blake for adding me to your buddy list and the kind words of encouragement. I will succeed, I just wish that my Pop could’ve been around to watch me get my c-17 and start the business, he left just a few months early – Damn!! My Mom can’t remember who I am anymore and when I got my license she didn’t quite understand… Alsheimer’s disease is one mean Mutha to experience from the patient to the caregiver right on down to the family. It is so brutal that sometimes I just want to smash everything in sight!!!
Thanks for the support, By the grace of God I haven’t hurt anyone, myself or had a desire to drink – I just show up for work each day ready to work and God handles the rest… When all else fails, work with others extensively – It is my primary purpose!!

Thanks Guys, I work in my shop a little eveyday. I live in my shop so I get to do that. I am currently restoring an old Estwing hatchet. I need a good hunk of 1/4” thick leather to duplicate the leather rings to factory specs(Estwing won’t send me the rings…) It will turn out just like it was in the late 50’s and brand new!
TKS again Guys.
Chuck
