    "I hear the train a'comin', it's comin' round the bend" Fantastic detail.

    Same here.

    Best wishes to the chief electron wrangler.

    I missed this the first time around. That's why my reactions are so late. Still great work.

    Sawdust on the fingertips is like that beam of sunlight hitting your face.

    Awesome piece of work. The finish looks like an epoxy dip.

    I had a headband magnifier, but after my cataracts surgery, I switched to reading glasses with a +2 lens. Only use it periodically, but they make a difference up close.

    I was torn between a laughing icon and a sad face. "We are prisoners of the machine"

    I will repost one from last month celebrating a retirement after 57 years at the same university.

    Been a while since I cut any spirals. Might have to dust them off and practice. Cute critter, however.

    I would have to move stuff to store more wood.

    Central Indiana sending greetings.

    Working 57 years at one place is special and when that place is a university, it is extra special. So, a friend is finally pulling the plug in about 10 days and I cut him a copy of the school logo in 3/4" cherry. Picked up some fresh #3MGT blades from @Denny Knappen and they ripped right through this project. (My first real cutting since cataract surgery.) The base is weighted by a few ounces of BBs in glue. Below are pics of the campus statue, the derivative logo and my cutting. Felt good to get some sawdust on my fingers!

    Definitely a challenge.

    Excellent start to the mid morning. Thanks!

    Occoch has some veneered panels on their site. I got some cherry and I believe hickory. Seemed to have held up well.

    I'll jump in with Indiana birthday wishes. It's your birthday, pick a few from the suggestions above!

    A few years back, I laminated some scraps of various thickness and species to do some birdhouses. They turned out different but neat.

    I will second the wishes. Two significant contributing members of the group.

    A few of those had a little extra zing to them.

    Been retired 3.5 years now. My cardiac surgery really sped up the process, but I was ready to go at that point anyway. I do cardiac rehab at least 4 mornings a week and we now have the freedom to go or stay. And today is another date with the granddaughter and then her new brother will be here in July. (The other grandparents are not retired, so we get first call on days like this)

    I carried a punch like that back when I was running rescue. Works great for popping tempered glass in vehicles to gain access. Wonder what ever happened to it?
  23. Jim McDonald
    Jerry, thanks for dropping these. Always smiling when I see your posts.

    Have a relaxing voyage. And, enjoy all the ports.

    Somebody's been a little bit busy! Very good looking collection.
