I like the pattern!

I love love love auctions! I often get great deals on wood at local auctions. Most people see the pile as junk or too little to do anything with. But not I and neither would any of you. My biggest problem used to be hubby. He would roll his eyes but help me bring it home. These days he doesn't blink an eye, since he has seen what people like us can do with "scrap " wood. Great buy for you!

This really seemed to bother you..... Therapy perhaps?

I was wondering if anyone else out there is unhappy with the shipping charges with the Meisal catalog. I put together an order online because they give a 10% discount that way. I was very careful to stay below the next higher level of shipping. They base their shipping on dollar amount. They used the higher amount to charge shipping then took off the 10%. That amounted to a couple of bucks more. It was $12 for a clock fitup, 4 spindles, and a pattern! We pay less shipping for that ordering tractor parts! I would like to find some other place to get the clock fitup that I was ordering but I can't seem to find it anywhere. It is the 3.5" with an alarm on it. Connie Oh, by the way.... I emailed them with my concern through their 'contact us' link. NO response. It's been four days.

We have a dairy farm so the sawdust and shavings are not a problem. We use it for bedding for the animals. We can use all that I make easily. You might be interested to know that farmers and horse owners buy shavings by the bag. About 3x2x2 compacted for $4-5 bucks. Think bigger yet.... Many farmers buy it by the tractor trailer load. That will cost $1600-1800 bucks. Most of it comes out of Canada where there are mills that make things like pickets fences and stuff. For dairy cows it should be from kiln dried lumber. About ten years ago the price more than doubled when a lot of businesses used it for heat. There are quite a few chip burning plants in the area that use chips for electricity. Another example of one man junk is another's treasure.

How often do you have apply the lube?

This project made me take a second look! Real real unique.

May I suggest you visit toymakingplans.com and view the video about making a child friendly beeswax finish for the gift. I have made and used it for toys and other projects as well.

Love It!!!!

Isn't Steve Good awesome? He will be very proud of what you did with his pattern. It also is awesome!,

Time....... More time...... Somehow

Really really nice

Very detailed!

What?! No Miss Kitty? Love these cuttings. They are spot on!

So here I sit, on my porch, in very northern NY waiting waiting waiting for the hay in the fields to dry enough to rake. We have lots of acres mowed and we need the sun to come out to dry it. Yesterday the sun was overcast all day and today so far the same. I would love to see it get to high eighties for a day or so. At least till our hay gets in! Funny how each person feels Bout the weather!
