Thanks to a next door neighbor who was a supervisor at the New York Central Railroad maintenance facility in Syracuse, I worked as a laborer on the railroad for a couple of summers back in the early sixties . As low man on the totem pole, my job was chemical pressure washing locomotive trucks...

Do you know how the damage was caused?

Here's another hastily scribbled thought. Pin the shelf through the top at the front edge to keep it captured in the mortise. Cut out a bit of the mortise slot to house an extention of the small lip at each end of the shelf. Drill a 1/16" hole through both pieces and then enlarge the top...

Time to put up some Christmas decorations and look for a tree. I put together a Rob Cosman style miter shooting board to help improve my box making, but am having trouble getting the perfect miter. Need to figure out how to tweek it. He was meticulous assembling the jig and I thought I was too...

Any idea what wood?

Congratulations to all. :congrats::congrats:

Excellent! Are you using a photo booth?

Cremation urn and cutting board are on the schedule. Still playing nurse to help the missus shake the crud. Update: Xrays show Pneumonia and fluid in the lungs. Bringing her to the hospital for some of the good drugs.

Thanks, Mike. I added these to my Christmas wish list.

Beautiful!! Welcome aboard. Looking forward to seeing more of your excellent work.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. Low key here, as the missus is still under the weather. Pork loin, sweet potatoes and delicata squash. We will do a turkey when family visits in early December.

I enjoy reflecting, and therefore continue to do dumb stuff so there's always something to reflect upon.

Thanks, Les. I've often wondered what your process was. The results speak for themselves. :thumb:

Things like Tannerite! Yay!!

…And that’s why we can’t have nice things anymore. :wave: :rofl:

I survived lots of years using M-80's and cherry bombs to blow stuff up, without losing any body parts. My dad taught us to respect the power...in more ways than one. :rofl:

The missus is under the weather and has some mobility issues. I'll be lurking close by in case she needs help. With company coming in early December, shop and house clean up are high up on the schedule. Still need to get started on a cutting board and decorative box.

Have a great one, Mike! Happy Birthday! :b-day_cake::b-day::b-day_cake:

Good stuff, Gayl. :thumb::thumb:
