Monday May 7, 2006 was the day that I became acquainted with the web site named Lumberjocks. It looked like an interesting site, But no where in my mind did I think it would be anywhere near what it is today.

I've made friends that I only chat with and I've made friends that I been to their home and shared a meal with them, and I was even invited to be present at the Baptism of their child.

We had contests where we challenged each other.

We've lost some of our friends without ever meeting them but no less mourn the loss of their friendship.

We've had good times and bad times and some who came here to cause trouble or to try to make their millions by what means they think they can scam from us.

The monitors we've had have been able to cull the bad ones (the chaff), so that the good ones can have all the glory by looking and wishing "I wish I could do that." "I wish I could find some of that wood".

So we read and we ask questions, "Why you ask!" so that we can become true craftsmen and craftswomen. So we can see that we have been awarded the top three emblem. But even if it's been without our reach, means that tomorrow will be our day.

I've completed my move to Appomattox VA and sold my home in Delaware. But I'm still without a shop. I bought a home and I built a shop, and I sold the home to my daughter and son-in-law. And bought another home. So my shop there contains all of my tools and all of my wood. I'm working on my first project. Mount a ceiling fan in the kitchen, but I've made a 2' by 2' ceiling decal to cover the 2' by 2' unpainted section of the kitchen left by removing the light.

Hay it's a beginning.

The woodworking club in VA is not as active as the one in Delaware, but it will get better. I've offered to put on a program on Vacuum Veneering and another on Worksharp Modifications

May you all be blessed in your woodworking skills and keep sharing them to the world.

This is my 13th Anniversary.

Lew I'm using some of the Sapele on the ceiling box that I'm making it with some Russian Karelian Birch Veneer. It took me three weeks to get the Vacuum Veneer table working again. It seems that dust in the check valve keeps air from going through in the correct path and lets air through in the incorrect path. The vacuum pump would never draw enough vacuum and the pump was running forever.

I realize I'm not on your way to the shore anymore. But if you want to see the VA Confederate war sites instead of the Pennsylvania sites, come on down. We can probably find some interesting things to do. I mean this is where the war ended.

Karson,

I feel some of your emotion.

I too, have retired, again. We moved into a single story home. I moved into a 3500 sq ft 'play shop'.

Now, however it is time to 'pull the plug' and close the 3500 sq ft 'Play Shop'
I have moved home and into the 2 car garage.

I am now with the wife many more hours each day/week. It is taking some adjusting to accepting these changes.

I still am trying to work with the younger members of the woodworking community, and I have that fulfilling.

Good luck in your renewed life.

Vicki: Long time no see, How are you doing. I want to let you know that the toy workshop is still using the drillpress that you gave them. You can never have too many when you need to drill different size holes in many pieces of wood.

Ira: I still own you something. I believe that the wood is now dry enough to use. If I can just find it. It's still in the box you sent it to me and it was beside my computer desk for a long time. Both boxes the Grapefruit and the Carob.

Good luck in your downsizing. I think my heirs will have to finish my downsizing.

Well said Karson, and its good to see its drawn out some other long term members.

Did you know that Roger one of the original 10 members is still active!

Sadly as you mention along the way we have lost some inspirational members as well.

The monitors we've had have been able to cull the bad ones (the chaff), so that the good ones can have all the glory by looking and wishing "I wish I could do that." "I wish I could find some of that wood".

So we read and we ask questions, "Why you ask!" so that we can become true craftsmen and craftswomen. So we can see that we have been awarded the top three emblem. But even if it's been without our reach, means that tomorrow will be our day.

I've completed my move to Appomattox VA and sold my home in Delaware. But I'm still without a shop. I bought a home and I built a shop, and I sold the home to my daughter and son-in-law. And bought another home. So my shop there contains all of my tools and all of my wood. I'm working on my first project. Mount a ceiling fan in the kitchen, but I've made a 2' by 2' ceiling decal to cover the 2' by 2' unpainted section of the kitchen left by removing the light.

Hay it's a beginning.

The woodworking club in VA is not as active as the one in Delaware, but it will get better. I've offered to put on a program on Vacuum Veneering and another on Worksharp Modifications

May you all be blessed in your woodworking skills and keep sharing them to the world.

This is my 13th Anniversary.
Happy anniversary Karson. As Lew said, so well said!

Monday May 7, 2006 was the day that I became acquainted with the web site named Lumberjocks. It looked like an interesting site, But no where in my mind did I think it would be anywhere near what it is today.

I've made friends that I only chat with and I've made friends that I been to their home and shared a meal with them, and I was even invited to be present at the Baptism of their child.

We had contests where we challenged each other.

We've lost some of our friends without ever meeting them but no less mourn the loss of their friendship.

We've had good times and bad times and some who came here to cause trouble or to try to make their millions by what means they think they can scam from us.

Hey Karson!

C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S !!


Now that you are an EX in Delaware, maybe you can answer the age old question…

What did Delaware?

Very good on getting your New place ready to go… it takes time…

Will you eventually move your shop tools, etc. to your NEW Shop site after it's ready to go?

Thanks for the update!

Joe:
I've got about 1/3 of a walkout basement that is heated and air conditioned. So my plan is to move my finishing tools to the basement and leave the rough tools at the other shop. It's about 3 miles down the same road. So I'll leave my wood and tools there and have tablesaw, bandsaw, sanders and spray equipment here at the home.

That's cheaper than having to build another building here at the current home. I had to put in 200 Amp service when I built the building and I'm paying the electric bill for the shop so I plan to use it.

Joe I think Della was a nudist and I don't believe that she wore anything. Delaware is one gigantic sandbar with ocean and river beaches so I'm sure that she availed herself of the water and beaches.

Happy Anniversary, Karson. Time flies when we're having fun, eh? Looks like I just passed 11 a few days ago. I always need a reminder ;-)

Sounds like your new shops are getting ready for action. Do you think you can drum up enough interest in the local club to go into Christmas toy production?
