They opened about 2 months ago. The president of Bruce’s woodworking club went to visit the store and talked with the manager. The manager plans on visiting the club. He is giving all members a 10% discount if they place the order through the store and free shipping. He also offered members room to...

Very nice. Looks like a turned candle holder.

That’s why I’m waiting for #3 to drop Scott. It only damaged my case as I have my iPad in the cover at all times. And besides, that is on Bruce’s side and I use it over there if I use it.

Dumb thing #2 what not to do. Had a small amount of mineral spirits in a little container on my work table to soak spray glue nozzle. Took nozzle out, walked away. Few minutes later I put my IPad on the table and my hand knocked over the container as I walking away. About 10 steps I remember the mineral...

I sent you a message with my email to send me the picture....

[will8989]

Congratulations! Your work is amazing and well deserved blue ribbon. At least you have hair. My “well seasoned of a certain age” old man is almost bald!...

[will8989]

That sounds amazing. Bruce has a friend that collects old saws. I’ll have him see if he can help. Can you send me just a picture of the plate?

[will8989]

As always, beautiful. Roasted walnut? Tell me more. I would love to get blue pine but no one has it in this area. I will happily pay for some plus shipping. Any takers?...

The weather is getting cooler this week. I can start using my drill press, that I bought for $40 many years ago just for this, outside set at less than 400. I still have pieces fly but they land in the grass.

When you go to wood stores, how is their wood stored? On end standing up. We, my husband, puts our long boards on end. I have a closet that I store shorter boards, 3’ or less, that I am currently working on. When he runs out of room, or I trip over boards and knock them down, he will resort to flat...

Don’t forget pictures. Have fun! I avoid 95 anything as much as possible. The beltway around here, 695, is nicknamed suicide circle. That about says it all....

[will8989]

Glad you’re back.

Kim had several patterns in some issues. Where is she?

[will8989]

Just checked what Bruce has it set at - 3600!!! No wonder I had flying pieces! Surprisingly the only injury I had was scrape cut on my left thumb....

[will8989]

Just a stupid mistake. I usually do all my mop sanding outside. I have a drill press set at 380 rpm’s in the shed and that’s all I use it for so I never have to check it. Won’t make that mistake again!

[will8989]

I made these baskets to take to the market yesterday. I decided at the last minute to use my sanding mop one last time on the maple one. First mistake, didn’t adjust the rpms. Second, didn’t double check to make sure the mop was secured in the drill press. Turned it on, the mop flew out of the drill...

They’re still on for here but I haven’t heard them. Maybe change of plans. Can’t imagine them not being here for fleet week since they always were.

So sorry for the delay getting back to you. You can actually use any thickness you have on hand. I did this in 3/4” as I charge $75.00 for this and I feel my customers want something more than 1/4” thick. Besides, I use all hardwoods and it is time consuming to slice and prep....

I’ll take the noise over a quiet house. We watched our grandson from when he was an infant. Tough at the time but so worth it. We watch him 3 days after school now and he has one speed - warp like the blue angels....

I love doing dragons. Whose pattern? I have a customer who would love this. She’s out of room on her shelves, so this would be perfect. Also like the burnt edging for a frame. Beautiful.
