    Memories - What FWW is all about

    Take a look at some beautiful flatwork done by our very skilled FWW Leader many years ago. A much less skilled WW added my Son's name via Laser Inlay work. Cannot find the picture I have somewhere of the inlay work. Two days ago case was used as a gift box for a brand new Cue for my 7 year...

    Welding for crafts

    I was looking into a little TIG welding for a hobby project. Was looking for a buddy where I could get a little TIG time in. Guy says to me "Can you weld?" Hurt my feelings but he quickly said I mean your heart. I have an installed D-Fib. Checked with Company that made it they said NO welding...

    first project on the new laser

If I remember I cut out a few special shapes from thin wood for you to inlay into a project you were making. Glad I got out of that. You are to good and are killing the competition...

    Crazy To Take a Cruise on a Cruise ship!!

    Thread hijack - No problem. I have a fair amount of time on subs. Never in the Navy but as a guy in a shipyard in the 70's. Love to hear the stories about them.

    Crazy To Take a Cruise on a Cruise ship!!

    Yes we knew going on a cruise ship in these days of covid was a gamble but with all the controls in place we thought it would be safe enough. We had kept very isolated for months prior to this cruise and stayed even more isolated as we approached cruise day. Had a few card games canceled with...

    Christmas Present Knife

    Reading this and seeing that little "M" was some of the best Christmas Cheer anyone could ask for. The Apache Wedding Blessing was just something I found and read at our Daughter's wedding. I made a few and it caught on and yes there are a fair number of these around the world. We have even...

    Christmas Present Knife

    So nice to see a little of my engraving is still around. I remember those blades well. That "M" on the blade really caught my eye! Got rid of almost all my tools 4 or 5 years ago. Still get requests for some special items. I feel bad that I cannot do them anymore. Very pleasing to see some of...

    Is Taps in order....

    I have a 10 year old Grandson who I am sure will be a builder. I sent him a bunch of my hand tools. Wrenches I had since I was a teen. I am now 72. I am sure only people like the readers here understand what these tools meant to me. At Christmas our Daughter sent me a picture of the wrenches...
