CSBBQ 2005 has ended - pics

[Jim Hager]

I really wanted to come up there this weekend but business is just too good and I couldn't afford to give up the work time. Building a business while working full time takes the fun out of the weekends. Naw, I did have fun. What is more fun than working wood?? Ain't nothing that I've found.


Glad you guys had fun!!!!!!!!!!! I would offer to have one of those here at my place but I ain't about to clean my shop that good. Heck if I put everything away I wouldn't have a clue where to find stuff

I missed out last year's CS_BBQ and had been waiting since. I must say it was worth the wait and the 3hrs drive one way. It was great to finally get to meet some of the fellow WW'ers.

Just meeting Doug Stowe, listen to him talk about the spiritual and artistic side of woodworking, and looking at some of his works was worth the drive. Great person to talk to.

Thanks to Terry and his better half for their hospitality.

And Mike for letting me take the first crack at the PC 693 plunge base. I had been looking for one for several months and lost out on a few auctions at the last 3 secs.

A nice trap had been laid out for me in the shape of a set of Delta turning tools, but I am not falling for that. The door prizes were an added bonus. Thanks to Dennis and Terry for organizing a wonderful weekend.

Hey Z......

Thanks for attending. Now I've gotta order me a Japanese saw and stuff so I can get really good at handcut dovetails.

[Zahid Naqvi]

You can borrow one of mine, if you want to try it before you buy it. There is a catch I must talk/discuss with you before you take the plunge.

[Waymon Campbell]

Yep.....I have to wear a name tag at those things so I don't fergit what my name is and "really" who I am.

Yeah, at least you haven't gotten as bad as me and need a KeyMap to find your way home from work every day . Of course, I also need someone to read it to me

[Mike Hannah]

Thanks Terry! It was a great time - great food - great company. I enjoyed Jeff's hand cut dovetail demos and Doug's presentation. Already looking forward to next year.
Zahid if you see another deal on a plunge base let me know. When I donated the turning tools I hoped someone could put them to good use - now you need to get a lathe!
All this Plane collecting might be contagious, I afraid I might have been bitten by the bug.
Larry thanks for hooking me up with my new Jointer - I mean Door Planer - I am looking forward to trying it out.

[Kelly C. Hanna]

Good to see you posting again Waymon...how you been? Sure hate to have missed this year's festivities....don't plan on missin' next year. May even have a bit of spinny fun while I am there (with guidance of course)!!!

Zahid if you see another deal on a plunge base let me know. When I donated the turning tools I hoped someone could put them to good use - now you need to get a lathe!

Mike, you bet I'll be looking out for a plunge base. So it was you who donated the lathe tools, well they have been put to good use. Mark Cothren is big into turning, I figured he can use them more than I do, so he's got them now.

[Donnie Raines]

Hey...whos that in the over-alls????

[Mark Cothren]

Mike and Zahid - thanks for the turning tools! Yes, they are already being put to good use.

[Scott Coffelt]

Typical, Jack laying around on his arse. Doesn't even have a beer in his hand and the tube on, so can't say he is watching football.

Too bad I missed it, hopefully next year.

Finally got a little time to post my barbecue pics while the stain on these doors are drying.

First I want to thank Sheryl and Terry Hatfield for putting up with me the last three years of their great hospitality and having some great food.

Got to stay friday afternoon and all day saturday. Left about 6:30 and flew home on dark repaved, unmarked roads. What a thrill

I tried to watch over Jack Diemer, as Mike Hannah was too busy eating cookies, and Scott Coffelt wasn't there to watch him either.
Jack brought a trunk load of planes to refurbish and sharpen up in one afternoon. I think he must have sharpened 60 plane blades, and really gave Terry's MKll a work out. Luckily He didn't smoke the motor. One tough machine.

Larry Browning escorted some of us over to another place and showed us some used tools and stuff. I got a great deal on a drill press and an old antique spool cabinet.
There was about 40 or so pipe clamps there I would of liked to have had, but due to not enough moola in my pocket, no truck to haul them back, and already having plenty of clamps, I had to pass them up.

Jeff kept us entertained by making hand cut dovetails. Did a great job too. I have a lot of patience, but not that much.

Doug Stowe gave a good presentation on boxes, and working with kids doing woodworking. He showed us all how to make Barbie toilet paper.

Mark Cothren tried to get me to turn a spiral staircase on Terry's lathe, but I didn't have enough time there to get that one figured out.

Met a few new ones there also. Ed Breen, and a bunch more that I can't think of right now.

Had some great door prizes also.
I won another micro-jig splitter which I will make good use of if I break the one I already have.

Terry won the grand prize, the Vega Miter gauge. I thought that was very fitting as He was a super host.


Here's a link to my pictures. Easier this way than posting them all here. Click on 2005CSBC album
