What took you so long darn, worried about the Moose? Those are a work of art. I don't know how you do it. Cute young girl is she in commercials yet? I'm taking to my 3 year old nephew but he has got to listen! But shopping for Mom's gift was enough kid time for me!

Did ya'll old farts ever think maybe you have a stigmatize. I wore glasses though school (age 14 to 20) then driving started wearing me out so I have 20/25 vision but a stigmatize. FYI don't think that is the right word.
So anyway I could see in the dark of night now nope I need more light. I'm having to change all the bulbs in the house to 60 watt 40 don't cut it with glasses that correct my stigmatize.
Mike, Been there done that did you ever think about having the doctor dig out all those years of ear wax? Worked for the father in-law.

Bill I don't know how old you are but you're our kind of guy. A crusty old fart who says what he thinks without being a jerk. We like that. NO I never got checked for a stigmatism that I know of but since I'm a disabled vet and under the care of the almighty VA system I probably did . . . . . . . not either.

Damn smart @$$ kids- Yes I have my ears checked- I have had the router rooter treatment. I have had the same doc since 1977- he asked me last year how my ears were doin- I said not worth a Sugar, Honey, Ice Tea- he quoted me on chart. I think I have a hearing aid in my future- At least that is what I think Kathie told me. :rotflmao3::rotflmao3::rotflmao3::rotflmao3:
PS I think it is stigmatism.........................

The alternative is worse though Greg. That will come soon enough also.
Me- I know a lot that did not make it this far in life's voyage, I feel very lucky to have what I got. Hell if I didn't feel lucky it would not change one thing to complain about it
PS. do not tell the mod I stole my own thread- he can be kinda testy ya know.
Greg you have a great Christmas.
Mike - Just wanted to let you know the jewelry box was a huge hit.
It is beautiful. It looks 10 times better in person than the pictures. You do some excellent work.

Thanks Scott- I am very happy it got there in time and that Gail is happy with it. They were a hit with daughters and granddaughters. My 3 year old granddaughter sat down and played with hers for a hour. gramps had to sit down and play with her. Makes all the work worthwhile --an ear to ear grin on a 3 yr old.
Man oh Man I keep coming back and looking at these jewelry boxes. They are absolutely stunning. I'm gonna have to figure out how to copy your build to make some for my granddaughters.
Beautiful work Mike

Mike1950 said:I got tired of my standard box and everyone I know has at least one so I came up with a new 2112 Christmas design for a stand up small necklace and jewelry box. I am in the final stages of the 2 prototypes and am going to begin 6 more. 2 walnut- 2 more maple and 2 Flame box elder. Slides are persimmon and I will say they slide unwaxed smooth as can be. Waiting on small hinges and knobs. I will start build this week- I have 3 days in a row this weekend to get plenty done. I will be also testing my new photoscape so pictures may or may not be forthcoming.
Box is maple with walnut insets in doors. Frame work is all mortise and tennon. Doors and lid bridal joint. The doors will be a little different on build. When I got pieces made I found them too small for my courage level with spinning router bits. Thus made a lot of hand work that will be eliminated with build.
Little red pulls are Dyed BAB from Cory- he sent me a free pen blank and it became little tiny pulls. Thanks Cory - they look great.
Awsome craftsmanship, what a beautiful bookmatch on the doors. Very very well done!
Hot Diggety dog- I think I got it.........................
AWESOME for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
