Are you at least going to get one of those fun looking scooters you kneel on? Bet you could get some real speed on one of those going downhill

Is that teasing?
I was knocked off a latter Monday and fell maybe 8 feet. Just showed the kid my black toes tonight and she's telling me they are broken because of the color and because i can't move them on command. Doctors, kids, telling us what to do....wife threatening to call EMS. Ya, I just got up, put the ladder in place and hopped up the rungs and finished the job. I did take the day yesterday to go to the doctor's office, but for another item that has haunted me since May.
Phil, bubble wrap the foot and do as you feel right.

Should be able to zoom around our kitchen, living room area!Are you at least going to get one of those fun looking scooters you kneel on?

No weight at all on it for a couple weeks.
Sorry you hurt your foot. Get it looked at by a professional. Hope you heal quickly!

I have thousands of feet of paracord in all kinds of colors. Hopefully I can do something with that to stay busy.
Maybe take up carving? A more 106 and some green wood and you’re ready to go. Oh and rough out with the bandsaw.
Of course I'm teasing.
Learn to make paracord bracelets and sell the snot out of then at the next show or fair you go to.

I've made many dollars selling keychains and knife lanyards/fobs. Bracelets too but not as much profit.
Tying the knots is hard on my arthritic fingers so I backed off making stuff. Will have lots of time to get back into it and will work slower.

Lots of creative stuff there! I didn’t realize it came in so many colors. Chuck
You have talent!
Last week searching YouTube, I saw a video where a woman turner cast some Jeans with wood, and then turned it. It looked great when she was done.
Looking at the picture of the video, I think it's pretty deceiving as the video doesn't show it that way. Still a good video.

Phil, while you are recovering, why not bundle up a bunch of that material onto something you can turn, cast it and let us see the results whether it's a success or failure. ................. Nubs

Can't quit cold turkey! Had a piece of the "sugi" left so I made an ornament. Saw this shape recently online. Figured I'd give it a try.
Your finials are becoming outstanding.
Sugi....looks a lot like Chinaberry. Sugi has a strong pepper like smell when working it and is often pink to red. Based on the brick background is why I ask.
Nicely done Phil, a very attractive ornament. Love that shape, reminiscent of some glass ornaments I remember from childhood.
Great job on the finial!
