Thank you for welcoming me to this wonderful online community.

I am learning by trial and error how to sharpen my chisels. I have not been successful at doing a good job at it. I bought a couple of books about it and I am getting better but I guess that I would need a lot of practice. If you have any advice for me I would greatly appreciate it.

I like your projects and if you don’t mind I am taking inspiration from your clamp rack project. I am adding to my clamps and very soon I would require proper storage. When I build one I will post it. Thank you again.

now when you say killer shop just built…my woodworking saliva starts to run, and it makes me want to see it in full detail mike..you dont want that, as drool will get the wood wet, then you would have to wait to use it…so do we get pictures of this shop…i hope so…

Ok Grizzman,
I will post shop photo’s soon … I now think I know how to do it … I’m a low tech guy in a high tech world … and I am very proud of the new shop.

oh that is great, i look forward to seeing your shop, have you seen mine, when it was new i had lots of room, but now after 17 years, i have wood in there everywhere…one day after i am no longer here…my children will have my shop to deal with…and its years of wood collecting..i wont get rid of any unless someone gave me the right price…right now besides all the wood i have gotten from old homes and even another woodworkers stash, i have about 400 BF of walnut drying..its all 1 1/4 thick, 8 feet long and some are 12 inches wide…i will let this dry until april, it should be ready to use by then…walnut is my favorite hardwood, southern yellow pine is my favorite softwood…i look forward to seeing your shop.

lol, just a nickname i picked up when i was a kid running team horse races, the term knockonit was to hit the wagon seat with something hard to skeer the horses. I was known to knockonit pretty hard. lol

Howdy Folks,

Well here it is, a right livable 103 degrees at 2:40 with 22% Humidity, ... out here in the desert that is just shirt sleeve weather.
there is a nice gentle breeze blowing westerly that has the flag fluttering and lookin’ good. The last storm that we had last week reaped havoc on the flag … need to replace it as it has each stripe a flag of it’s own … Enter the pet peeve … I refuse to buy an American flag made in some foreign country … I look on the internet and order one that is made here in the United States. ... End of rant.

I didn’t work in the shop today, I did my wifely chores around the house, I got the laundry done and all the dishes out of the dishwasher and put back into the cabinets where they live … swept the floors and made the house ready for the housekeeper that will be here this week … (I just can’t let her know what a pig i really am).

Well ya’ll be safe in what you do, blood is really hard to clean off of the machinery.
