Great story. I know the feelings as my Uncle Arthur (arthritis) has come to live with me and my speed and agility is not what it use to be. We do what we can and work around our demons just not as fast.Eric

Thanks Dave...
That was very inspiring...
My Landlord and great old friend of mine inspires me in a similar way. He's beaten cancer twice, and to see how he never quits, (you should see his yard. It's just magnificent), has taught me to keep going no matter what. I have a rather vicious and painful form of Tourette's syndrome, and I've learned that even a small victory is still a victory...
Thanks again Dave, GREAT story....!!!!!!Jim

Wonderful story Dave. Thanks for sharing it with us. I know at my age, I am slowed quite a bit, but, I have extra time now, being retired. I do some things very slowly, that I used to do in a short time. I will think about that gentleman when I have any type of work to do. Thanks again.PERK

Yes Dave, it so true for so many of us that "got older" Our minds are sharp but the parts of our bodies do not work the same as they did in the past. I also used to build furniture, but would not think of lifting those heavy boards again. Perhaps that is the reason I use the scroll and band saw much more than I use the table saw. I am just thankful I am able to do something...so many folks can't even do that!Hawaiilad

Dave, a truly inspirational story and message. When I usually find limitations, it makes me push harder. However, when they are physical limitations that is not the case, so therefore you make up for it other ways. Once again this forum is ispirational and sends a great message for us all!
Thanx for sharing!~ Kim

Dave, here's another thanks for once again reminding us that age and infirmity are only time frames and hurdles, not the end of being able to do things.
As the ageless wonder Satchel Paige once said...'How old would you be if you did not know how old you were?'

Reply to Old Tool - Rebornby tgiro01Thanks - To make the box joints I used a 1/2" straight bit and my Incra jig. I used the little right angle sled that comes with the Incra fence, but now that I have the miter slot, I'll be getting or building a good coping sled....

by tgiro01I cleaned some space on my workbench to set this thing up and then had to clean some more space. I read about the 54X45CM size, but I guess I wasn't really thinking about how big it is. I put an 18 inch ruler in for scale in the "built" picture.
TBH - I wanted to get it together...-

Reply to Old Tool - RebornA custom setup always beats a generic mass produced one. It looks like you have everything perfectly suited to you! Awesome.

I do not have any section of 8 1/2 x 11.
I only have the one big document. The size is 31 x 21.5 inches. If I use poster option I can print on 12 pages. I just need one pattern at a time.
I like the way it was done in with previous DVD like 48. Each pattern...-
