  6. Thank you! I used to show all my finished crafts to my mom and she would tell me if she liked it or not and how to make some things better. I v missed that since she died.
  7. you asked for pictures so here goes. now remember I' do easy things so be kind. lol The first one is a squarll ( I work in wood don't ask me to spell to! !) my younger cousin lives in California and someone told me they don't have squarlls there so I figured I d send her one. lol the second one is a clown lamp I made for a coworker years ago. then we have the lucet. you use it with yarn to make bets and such. I made several of these...one for each of my daughters and me and the craft box.lol I made the bag it goes in to.im real big on recycling thus the cow planter, candy dish or what ever. lol I got the patterns for the layered animals from the winterfiels colloction and I make all kinds of things with them.another thing I make with them are banks and pin cousions with a storage airea well somewhere I have a picture of the mouse pin cousin opened but I can't find it right now.lol to open it you just side the hind end up over. theres a dowl pin in the body and the back legs part. my mom asked me to make her a go away sign so that's the last picture. let me know if you wan to see any more.
  8. Thanks everyone! I defently feel welcomed! Yes I was very surprised to get the table saw. Now heres the funny thing. Spike ( boyfriend) got it all set up for me and started telling me how to use it. Now this was nice as im always willing to have him show me how to do things so I don't have to read the directions! any way every time I go into my wood shop he tells me to be careful as if you don't pay attention to what your doing you could loose a finger, hand and so forth. never mind iv been using power tools for decaids .lol now heres the funny part I needed a large piece of 1/4 inch panel cut to usuable size but I was also working on putting something else together and crocheting and I had a sewing project on the sewing machine so he decided to cut the piece for me. A few minutes later I saw him with the first aide kit. Someone wasn't paying attention to what he was doing and cut out a nifty chunk out of his finger!! He really should have gone to ER to get stitches but my spike is from the old school and he don't run to the ER every time he gets hurt. So we just cleaned it out and kept pressure on it until the bleeding slowed down then wrapped it up. sigh MEN!!! gezzz anyway im keeping an eye on it and making sure he changes the bandage every day. I told him if it started getting infected id make him go to the ER, he promply look at me laughed and said oh? Did I mention my spike is 6 foot 4 ? hes shunk an inch or so over the years. lol me im almost 5 foot 2. lol its nice to know there are girls here to! my poor father never could come to grips with the fact that when he needed help bulding things it was his daughter not his sons he should call. lol Mom and the boys would wait until he was busy or something and then call me on the phone. lol Your fathers building such and such could you come over and an by the way bring your what ever tool he needed and didn't have. lol I don't know how many excuess I made for just happing to have just what he needed when I came over. lol Now getting him to let me doing the sawing ( you would thinik one of those males could saw a straight line. ) that took a little doing. lol every once in a while mom would yell at him and tell him it was my saw so I proubly knew how to use it and to let me saw the piece. lol ok the pictures lol you know I have tons of pictures of stuff iv made. lol you could regret asking to see pictures. let me look around a bit and find the place where you put pictures then I upload a few. lol I don't want to upload pictures in the wrong place.
  9. Hi im so glad I found this sight!!! I"ll be 62 in march and iv been doing some sort of wood working since I was in my early 20s. I am not however an expert woodworking... I taught myself how to do wood work of various kinds from books iv read and practice. I recently acquired a lath and im reading on that now. My boy friend helps me with routing. I hope to get my router and table put in my wood shop soon but its not something I need right away as we have a smaller router that my boyfriend uses to rout things for me now. I also recently acquired a lath that im reading up on now and hope to start practicing with soon. And what does a loving man give his lady for valintines day? Why a table saw of course!!! Ha ha Thank you so much for allowing me on the sight. Most of my internet frends just call me Dragon. Proubly because I love them so much and collect them, but if your not comfortable with that my human name is Helen lol
