I think I'm going to ask her right after I come out of surgery so that if she thinks it's a bad idea, I can blame it on the effects of having just gotten out of surgery.
Built some drawers this morning ... Now painting in the shade tree paint booth ....
At home eating right now, after dinner I've got a couple hours of work and then I'll post what all I did the last four days.
My 16 year old decided to make ribs with corn on the grill and mashed taters so I had to run home instead of working till I was done

I also cut up a bunch a pen blanks and drilled em. No pix yet. But these are interesting ones. I used old dead curly maple and some cottonwood bark. I soaked the cottonwood in ca a few days ago. We'll see how it works out.
I gotta catch up on my trade deals before I get sliced open again on monday....

Hope it all goes well, Marc, and that surgery is successful in working towards getting you patched back up.
I'm in the same boat too. Have a list of things I need to get done and I'm trying to work my way through them before I have surgery. I should find out tomorrow when surgery will be...
It's taken you this long to get through the hormones and implants? I could have done the chop for you with my mill......
Ha!
Nah, I did something stupid about the 1st of June and got a hernia. At first it was doing just fine, but the last few weeks the pain has grown to be pretty intense. A month ago my dr said to wait and see how it goes (but that I'll eventually need surgery, but not anytime soon.) On Friday she was pretty much, "Umm, now you need surgery soon, but it's not an emergency, but we should get this taken care of soon." Yeah, I've done a bunch of stupid stuff in the meantime and pushed it too far, which probably hasn't helped anything.
Yes sir. I like the look of it. But it was troublesome sanding it. The darker lines throughout wouldn't sand smooth as the other spots. But after I tried some drywall mesh it worked great.
Like I promised, here's the output from my shop for the last 4 days (Well, 3 and a bit, I was only in the shop 2 hours or so on Monday) I started everything you see here on Sunday morning or later. All ready to go for my show tomorrow. Plus the stuff shown here, there was another 10 .50 cal pens that I shipped before photo was taken (Custom color request for the tips, headed to a base out west somewhere as the guy that ordered them wanted to gift to friends in the service) and a couple engraving jobs plus my shop is open for business 10-5 so occasionally I do get some customers walking in. I also have another 60-70 pieces drilled that I'll tube and start turning on Friday.
Nice crkt m16...I have the tanto version of it.
Thanks, I actually have three of them, bought dirt cheap about 12-15 years ago iirc.
Cutting and cleaning and reorganizing- I always think I am going to build something in summer- I DO what ever is on honey do list outside.....
I got mine in 95. So that's about right.
I wouldn't say that it was cool enough to work in my shop this morning (it was about 82 in there when I went out there and opened up the garage door and window), but I wanted/needed to get some stuff cut on the bandsaw. At least 82 is better than the 93 it was in there last night...
Processed some of the Redwood Burl I recently acquired from @Anthony - WOW! And a little bit of some Sinker Redwood with some real nice color and figure.
Also cut up some stuff I got from @Don Ratcliff - some Birdseye Eucalyptus and Coffee Wood. No pictures of that right now - camera died...
But, Don, that Birdseye Eucalyptus is toxic. You better send the rest of what you have here for proper disposal! I'll be doing you - and the state of Hawaii - a service.

Was a sweater enough or did you need a full coat? Tony
