Many thanks Jim!
A friend gave me some Zebra wood last Christmas - just now found a use for it. Care to guess what that use is???? :D - Ok - yes it's a box.
Anyway - This piece of wood has pores bigger than...
Thanks for all the kudos! Always good to get positive feedback from fellow Creekers!!!!
Frank - would love to come to your neck of the woods - but not sure I could pass muster with that...
I forgot the picture!!!!
Slowly getting back into the woodworking groove after dealing with several health issues this year. Actually have taught two classes this past month. Thought I'd share this picture. (I forgot my...
I'm going to try to make it out to the picnic. Will bring my peanut butter fudge if that sounds good to ya'll.
Looking forward to seeing you all again.
Betsy
Thanks to all for your thoughts, prayers and kind words. I'm hoping to be in the shop soon - but am realistic and know it will be a while yet.
I had forgotten how many friends I have at the...
Speedy recovery John - you're in my prayers and thoughts!
Betsy
Thanks for all the good thoughts folks - I appreciate it.
Richard - YES - I'd do it again in a heart beat. There was some time when the surgery was over that I wondered why I went ahead with it -...
This is the first time I've been on the Creek for quite some time. It's good to see it's still going strong - even without me!!!!! :D
As some of you know I've had a couple of knee surgeries this...
Erin - congratulations on your forthcoming arrival to your family!:)
If the wood had not been finished I would worry about sealing the knots, however, since it's already been finished I would...
John - that's a wonderful piece. Merry Christmas to you and yours - and a happy holiday to all!!

Jim - I'm sure the receipients will love them. I really like the grain in the walnut one in the first picture. I'm partial to walnut though. The maple is very pretty as well. What type of finish did...
Warren - the stools look great - but have to admit the cans you have them on caught my eye and gave me a good laugh. My roommates are always giving me a hard time because I use cans of food for a bit...
Wes that's one excellent looking box. I'm sure the LOYL will just love it!
Betsy
Jim - that is one coooooolll box. I like it a lot. I'm sure Mom will like it a lot. I'm sure UPS will delivery it time.
Happy holidays.:D
Betsy
Dale - that's a wonderful poem! I plan to share it with my friends and family - I'm sure they will see me in it - I know I sure see me.
Merry Christmas to all!:)

Yard work and 3-5 miles a night on a recumbent bike. The bike does have several programs that allows me to change the difficulty of the ride - which is nice. I've got really bad knees and I can't jog...
I gave my brother my shopsmith a couple of years ago - bought it in '89. He has since sold it but could only get $300 for it. He lives in North Dakota so that may have had something to do with it.

Cliff - I've made several boxes with pecan. It is hard - but it's worth it - it makes beautiful boxes. Well worth the effort.

Real nice tree Rod - I'm sure your nephew will love it.
Orville, Ohio - hummmm - my high school (Bethel) went against Orville in 1978 for the state boys Single A basketball championship. It...
Dan - I have to admit the hippo is cute - if it wasn't for the slapping part. I do think it's a bit on the suggestive side and agree that it probably is not the best for the site.
Now as for...
Thanks for all your ideas guys. Sorry it's taken so long to get back with you - hectic is the name of my life right now - have not even stepped into my shop this week to make a speck of sawdust:mad:...
Thanks for the sympathy Dave!!! Yep - I've tried the bushing on top and bottom seperately and together. The box is ridgid - 1/4 material with ply bottom and the corner piece that has the bushing and...
Well to say this has been a challenge would be the ultimate in understatements. Everything I've tried with different size rods, different bushing systems, different thicknesses of wood (for the...
