That's pretty generous Rusty. Bet the kids got a kick out of the toys.
What did you do today?

Lumber yard was a zoo. Did not find much.
Lumber quality or not the right kind? We have a discount lumber place and they have all sort of stuff the main lumber yards don't carry.
Quality was very bad.
They buy from whoevers cheapest, not always from the same source. Sometimes really good and sometimes ya gotta pick through it.

Nice chair Floorest .. We have the 88 lumber here .. good wood ..
Thanks, that is the simple one. I made some with the back shaped as a Teddy Bear. I also made a table, my wife's design, that looked like a ladybug and had 3-legged stools that looked like daisies with it.
That's really neat Rusty. I have never have done woodworking like that. Love watching Roy Underhill on the Woodwrite shop on PBS.

Yes , Roy is something .. No tools are electric ..
We came back from the U.P. this afternoon and the thermometer in the car showed 100 degrees about 125 miles from home. 95 when we got home.

It was 95 degrees last time I went outside and with the humidity it feels like a sauna. One of my cats got a puncture on his back so I've been draining the pus and cleaning it with hydrogen peroxide until the vet opens back up so I can get him some antibiotics.
Floorist, that is an awesome chair! I think you probably would have gotten along well with my late elderly friend when he was alive. He made did a lot of woodworking projects. Made little bill holders shaped like ducks with the beak/bill made from a clothespin. A weird type of African drum (I'll have to look up the name again, but I have the plans for it somewhere), furniture, cabinets, toys, banks, etc. We have a container that is shaped like a duck, has clear plastic on the sides so you can see in, and a plug in the top so you can get stuff out. I stored my marbles in it. Wish I could find it. We have all sorts of stuff from him. One of his larger more detailed projects was he made an old style spinning wheel. He did it by hand so when his niece took it to an antique festival they thought it was an actual antique and didn't realize it had been made just months before. LOL.

Daris makes some beautiful stuff from wood.
One of these days I'll have to gather up the stuff that I made and take pictures-- but most of it is over 20 years old and not that great. Some of my ceramics projects were horrible. LOL. I think my favorite thing I made from clay was a bank that looks like a giant eraser.
He's always impressed me. He has to hack something together in 23 minutes so it only takes one episode to pretty much complete a project.
I'd love to see what his good stuff looks like. ......it's all good stuff, just like to see what he's really capable of when his time is not limited.
Can you imagine him making a 16 foot long piece of 1/4 round?
That would be his first two part show.
I do too Rusty. My fires look really nice, especially at night in a wilderness setting.
Thanks for the complement Rusty but I just dink around at it for needed stuff. Nothing difficult. I really liked the picture of your rocker.
I have been told that I am "off my rocker".
