  2. 1920's Were good years for Ford especially their "C Cab Trucks"

    While 2020 wasn't much of a year for many of us, 100 years earlier in 1920's it was for Ford especially their C Cab trucks. Towards the end of last year I was asked by a local shop to supply them with some hand made wooden toys. Now I seem to have specialized on trucks so made one for the shop...
  3. Twin Towers-Cedar Jewelry Boxes

    Made these a while back. Cedar wood from dead trees on my land. The wood makes great bandsaw boxes. Easy to work and smell great too. Still no worthy folks to give them to. Someone will eventually be a wonderful human being and I will give them to him/her. They are hard to find. I will wait...
  4. Sweating for Bucks Through Woodworking
    DW's Aunt V has taken a shine to the bed frame that I made for me and DW when we moved into out new home 4 years ago. She would like a quote on having me build 2 - one for her son and one for her an Uncle J. Costing the materials is pretty straight forward . . . but the time is my challenge...

  7. Off Topic Coffee Lounge
    I woodwork as a hobby. So I often give away things I make to friends and family. My problem is I always want to keep the first of something I make. I think it will be great to look back after making 100 fishing nets and still have my first one. But my second is almost always better. So I...

    The Journey Begins stefang offered a challenge the other day for us to create a blog on hand tool use. That was good timing, because it's been on my mind for some time now. This will be a series in several parts-I don't yet know how many. If you are lucky, I will have the sense to know when to...

    Woodworking Relativity Is it just me, or does anyone else have a large extended family that wants your woodworking expertise at a bargain basement cost? There are times when i envy the guy who produces the upper part of the valve stem actuator that only fit a 12 foot tall Caterpillar tire. I...

    Merry Christmas to Me -or- Good to Have Friends My wife and I are not the typical twenty somethings. We don't hang out with a lot of people our age that often. This is especially true at our church which happens to have an aging congregation. In fact, we go to a Saturday night service where...

  19. Off Topic Coffee Lounge
    I had a thought as I was replying to Xavier's comment to my offbeat post. This is pretty valuable info to anyone visiting the area and since this is a tourist spot I figured I'd give it broader exposure. And then I was thinking why stop there? There has to be so many ways that the collective...
