I could use your skills to weld table bases. I can stick steel together, but it is UGLY when I am done. Thank goodness for grinders and spray paint!I love the two story cabin bunk bed. Really neat. I was never any good at working with wood. I could and have built work benches out of wood but you don't have to worry about little , fancy details doing that.
Now , give me a welder and some rods and I can build things left and right.
Beautiful table and craftsmanship ................ but what I'm really, really impressed with is how someone took the pains to place it so perfectly on those floor tile .......... both ways !!!! LOL! LOL!
There is some OCD at work there
I is part of my strategy to appear to be a harmless codger. Let my assailants be surprised. Also if you put on ragged work clothes and hold a sign at a busy intersection you can get ammo money....I think you could pass for Santa as well with the beard
Your emojis are uneven . .Would that "OCD" be yours ..... or the owner of the 'well placed' table?
My dad realized this dream also before he passed. I have three book cases and a curio case to pass on down to his great grand kids. They are the most treasured furniture pieces I own.there is also a large heavy boot box made from 5/4 which is my personal favorite.
You live in the land of the best walnut lumber in the world, it is where the boards for that table top came from.
Short sidebar. When I was married to my first wife we lived on 5 acres out west of here. Not far from Washington, Missouri. In our yard was a Walnut tree that stood about 80' tall with a nice, long, straight trunk. I had a guy just stop by one day and offer me $6000 if I would let him cut that tree down and take the wood. My ( then) wife was vehemently opposed so I refused his offer. Fast forward a year or so and she comes home one day and tells me she is in love with some truck driver from her work. I was crushed. So I got my tools, guns, guitars and my dog and put them in my truck and left. I never got a lawyer. I just signed the papers her lawyer sent me. Never even went to court. This is a very bad idea and I highly suggest no one ever does this. I got royally hosed. My thought was just to get the whole episode over as quickly as possible. Anyway, I am still to this day good friends with her brother. Two things he told me since then have stuck with me.
There's a Danielle Steel book in there.....
People ask me why I hate girl scout cookies, just cannot stand the damn things. Now, as Paul Harvey would say,the rest of the story, to find out what this has to do with your story.
