While we were in Branson for the OWWAMO's gathering, my wife spied an oak cabinet that had a tip out front for a trash can. The quality was marginal and had a flat front, the shelf for the trash can…Continue

Indy 500 Tickets - Not woodworking related

Started May 13 0 Replies 0 Likes

I ended up with 2 extra Indy 500 tickets that I'm going to sell at face value. The tickets are located high in the 3rd turn (Northeast Vista) and you can see the cars exit turn 2, all the back…Continue

Here's the Craftsman Jointer I Bought

a couple of weeks ago I bought a 1947 Delta Unisaw at an auction. The same day I threw an opening bid of $20 on this late 40's Craftsman 6 1/8" jointer and won it for the $20. I tore it down and…Continue

2012 OWWAMO's Gathering

Well, after a 10 hour drive back from Branson and a good night's sleep in my own bed I am ready to tell all about it. We spent 4 days in Branson, saw a tremendous show (SIX), ate alot of good food more more importantly we made a bunch of new friends. The gathering at the Hollister YMCA gave us all an opportunity to learn about motor troubleshooting, drill and lathe tool sharpening, Google Sketchup and more. Dan and Carolyn Wyatt did a bang up job of hosting the event and Dorothy and I tried…See More

I Found John Moody's Wood Stash

Posted on March 29, 2012 at 7:44am 12 Comments 7 Likes

For two years I have heard about John Moody's lumber stash, so last week I traveled to Alabama seeking the holy grail of lumber. I felt a little like Indiana Jones in the search of the lost ark. After spending a few days in Birmingham (I had to have a diversion) I headed north to Florence Alabama to seek out John and the mother lode of lumber. We arrived at high noon and and actually caught him working when we…

What to do in Indiana in the Fall

Posted on November 6, 2011 at 3:03pm 11 Comments 3 Likes

What do you do in the flyover zone (Indiana) in Autumn? You help a new friend move 7 tons of machinery. Darcy Warner lives about 70 miles north of me and we were at the same sale a couple of weeks ago. He bought machinery and I bought wood (about 1200 BF of it I may add). Dan Wyatt needed a drill transported to Missouri that was located near Darcy so when he came to pick up his new toys he brought the drill so that it could be stored in my garage. Then, we spent the next 3 hours moving…

The Before

Every once in awhile you take on a project out of the love of woodworking rather than for money. This was my most recent project. A couple of weeks ago a friend asked me to look at a table that he wanted to give his daughter for her apartment. He didn't want to spend a…

Right now I am working on a Bonsai wood stand for my friend. This is a pretty neat site and inspiring for beginners.
