    Hey, Jason! How is the moving process? I hope it is more satisfying than tedious. Are you moving your shop or your household or both? Let me know if you need a hand - I have a bunch of pickup trucks at your disposal, sir!!

    Yes, I'm Can/Am Reformed. I was going to ask you if you knew Bill DeJong, but I wasn't sure when he attended MARS. He preaches in our church every few months for pulpit supply, as we are vacant now. But we've been blessed with Rev. Lubbers from Covenant URC; he preaches in our church almost every Sunday afternoon, and helps with various pastoral needs. As a result, our two congregations have become quite close.
    Rev. Miller from Dutton URC has also offered to preach once per month, so we have indeed been blessed.

    I would love to drop by your shop sometime if I wouldn't be imposing. Like I said, I'm just getting started in the craft, and have been slowly gaining knowledge. I contacted a member of the forum from Clinton township in response to a mentoring offer that he posted, but Jenison is just a bit closer!

    Jason, I checked out your blog - very impressive work! I aspire to reach that level, slowly but surely. I just started working with wood recently, and it seems that I'm hooked. I spend as much time as I can with it, but not as much as I'd like to. I work full time in concrete, and also go to school. I'm working on my B.A. so I can apply to our Theological College in Hamilton. If my plan matches what God has planned for me, I will begin studies there in just over 3 years - still quite a bit of work to do!
    But in the meantime, I have this wonderful new constructive hobby - I wonder if you would be interested in showing me a thing or two? I'd love to learn how to hand cut those dovetails!

    Jason,
    Sorry I haven't responded to your dutch bingo question. I haven't familiarize myself with the creek enough to get into the habit of checking for messages.
    Yes, I'm sure I'm related to them all. I have quite a few cousins who attend Zion.
    Hey, this is pretty cool. I assume that you are URC if your kids go to Zion, is that right?
  5. Chris,

    Hey, so good to hear from you. I'm sorry that I didn't get this message until now as I don't often check here. My shop has been pretty slow of late. Life has been busy in other areas I'm afraid. Anyway, looks like some seriously nice wood. Thanks for thinking of me, but I have a pretty good stash right now. I just wish I could get to it. Argh!

    Are you keeping busy? What have you been up to lately woodworking wise? Churning out some nice stuff I'm sure.

    Blessings,

    WjT
  6. Jason,

    How is it going? I have a line on some nice cherry if you're interested:

    http://www.forums.woodnet.net/ubbthr...apsed&sb=5&o=2 This is for the wood that some guy will bring down to this gathering:

    http://www.forums.woodnet.net/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=3679821&page=0&view=colla psed&sb=5&o=&fpart=all&vc=1

    A buddy of mine turned me onto it since I don't read WoodNet. I'll try and find out more details if you're interested. I don't know exactly where the gathering will be...still working through the thread but I always think of you when I see cherry available around here.

    Cheers,

    Chris
