    Another red cedar thingee **PIC**

    I was throwing some scrap on the burn pile this morning and retrieved a small piece left over from the cedar bowl I posted last week. Ran in and made this bracelet helper.

    Man, that stuff turns and finishes beautiful. I think there will be some pens and other small items made from red cedar in the future. It is nice since I have an unlimited free supply of red cedar .

    Ha, ha, ha!!!

    I have to admit I was thinking the same thing!

    Hey Ken, is there a kit you used to make that, or did you just make it up from an alligator clip and some jewelry type parts?

    Very Nice!

    Scott.

    No hiding it, as soon as I saw that picture, roach clip jumped first thing into my head.

    Shessh, guess we're dating ourselves here.

    Awful pretty though.

    Ken - Just what is a 'braclet helper'? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Young Rebel Workshop nothing...that would have been Middle Age Rebelious Workshop in the 60's at best more like Almost a Sr. Citizen and Still a Rebel Workshop but not quite Old yet.

    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; wheter by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easeir because you have lived. This is the meaning of success.

    Well this explains a lot

    Thanks Ken & the rest of you hoodlums. I've had a tough day & I needed a lift. Good thing everyone else has left work. I'm laughing hysterically as I'm typing this.


    Not that I know what a roach clip is mind you - it just sounds funny

    Ah Ha!! The guys I grew up with must have had a lot of "bracelets" they needed "help" with. If you ever export these to Vermont you could be the next state icon after Ben & Jerry. All kidding aside, very nice work, as usual

    OK already.
    What is a roach clip? Why do cockroaches need clips? What do they do with them?
    I guess if alligators have clips then roachs can have them, but why? What do alligators do with their clips?
    Help a foreigner out.

    I will have to admit I had never even thought of turning red cedar, but I have a bunch of scraps from a wishing well scroll saw project so once I stop LOL I may have to dig out the pen mandrell.

    For those of you wondering about the use of a Roach clip, it is actually a medical device. It is used by those smoking marijuana for the treatment of glaucoma so as to maximize the theraputic qualities right down to the last toke, err treatment.
