Sometimes I get a project that just sits on my bench like a Sphinx. I have lost interest in it and want to begin something new. Every time I walk by, it says, " I will never be finished and I will never leave your shop." So I work on it for a token 15 minutes and move on. What is the longest it has taken you to finish a project? Everything counts, even storing it for decades under Karson's lumber pile. bbqKing.

I have pictures with a date of two Lingerie Chests that I'm making for my daughter and daughter-in-law that have a 1-17-2007 date on them, but I know I started them over three years ago.

I have a buffet hutch that I am making that has a picture dated. 5-28-07 and the last picture dated 8-28-07. Nothing has been done since then and it's sitting in the middle of my bench and I have to work around it.

There is nothing piled under my "Lumber Pile" it's all beside it.

Well there is another. I made a cradle for my daughter, and my wife said she wanted one. I cut the wood and that's as far as it got. That's 11 years ago. Every time I made a cradle, my wife asks for one. For the second one, I ignored her. For the third my daughter who was getting the new cradle said Mother really wants one.

Here is my daughters.


and here is my wife's

For me it was 10 years to finish my bullet floor lamps. I turned the 5" projectiles in 1998. I shined the 5" shells 5 times over the years getting them "ready" for the rest of the work, but everything sat in the corner of my den waiting and watching. This year I finally got the bug to finish them off.

BBQKing. You are here-by invited to visit the homestead and we will have a BBQ contest while you are here. The king will not be king for long!!!!

And, we will not have that silly, wattery, vinegaary, Southern BBQ sauce. We will have some good old fashioned KC style BBQ sauce.

I assume that you will be going for pulled pork, where as I'll be going for Brisket and ribs, with a little chicken on the side.
