Anybody? -- While teaching a class, a gentlemen once asked me: "When chip carving an intricate design, what do you do when you are almost finished and the wood breaks off?" I replied "Cover the kids ears." |

Electrical, lighting and insulation. It was 101 outside today, 77 in my one car garage/shop. It is insulated with a mini split system AC unit. :-) It certainly makes working in the shop a lot more pleasurable. -- Handcrafted by Mike Henderson - Channelview, Texas |
