    The nose ring is priceless. Just want to touch them with a 9 volt battery.

    "Dave's not here man" Few will catch that reference.

    Did you handpaint the message? Really neat sentiment that was well executed.

    When you start consolidating all your bits and pieces.

    My daughter loves Frida. Great work.

    I don't have a problem on my phone running Chrome. I am on a moderately fast Verizon home internet box.

    Good looking cabovers.

    Aspen or holly.

    You have outdone yourself! Truly a great grouping.

    Was just on vacation and the rental property had knotty pine on the walls. I noticed this and thought I should share.

    I'm right there with you. Major heart attack and four bypasses later, I feel great, but it sure ages you mentally. Follow the directions from the medical staff, take your meds and do your therapy. Best wishes for continued recovery.

    Time for a celebration! Beer and brats for everyone--at your own expense.

    Great idea and beautiful execution of the design.

    I usually by from Ocooch, but Klingspor in Hickory, NC has had good plywood when I was passing through.

    What a funny bunch! Thanks for the grins.

    I love 1/8" for stack cutting my ornaments. I normally stack 4 to 6 layers depending on the complexity of the design. I also use a fair amount of 1/4" material, but rarely go above that--unless it is a special purpose. Is it a waste of money? Probably not. Was it overpriced? Probably.

    For the green and white, just using rattle can leftovers. Most everything else will be Unicorn Spit. I love the pigmentation, ease of mixing and water cleanup. Since these will be ornaments for short term interior use, no top coat planned.

    Also check Goodwill. Some have boxes of old cables.

    Great way to start the day. Thanks.

    Dremel makes some really thin blades and cut off wheels. Menards has a good selection. I would bring you some, but my DIL has all my rotary tools right now testing for a project.

    @BadBob not only do I remember the old bbs systems, I had an employee who ran a couple. (When my wife was finishing her dissertation, Ohio State libraries had eight dial up lines to access a very limited database of their collections. You could read along as the screen scrolled into the buffer to save your data.) Also, I used to sell radio control tanks to the folks at CompuServe. They used the tanks to pull in "fish" cables. With the tracks, they could climb over existing cabling in the chases.

    Great cuttings. Was just out by your place Saturday and was wondering how you were doing.

    Went to the Indiana State Fair Sunday and in the Pioneer Village, there is a carpenter shop with man powered tools. Outside, they were running steam tractors with belts driving a 24" circular saw mill and another running a smaller "chop" saw. In the exhibit was a treadle scroll saw (to accompany the foot powered lathe). The lighting fairly sucked, so the may not be the best pictures of the scroll saw. In no particular order is a picture of the entire saw, the blade holder and a flywheel under the wooden table.

    Be hard to find a state color, since all the different college fans would lobby for THEIR school color. Imagine here in Indiana where IU, Purdue, Notre Dame and others all wanting their color to represent the state. (Except Notre Dame doesn't know if their color is blue, green or gold.) And the inevitable blue/green discussion in Michigan.
