Hi all,
With all the talk of plugfest I needed to go to my local mill to see what he had for turning. I bought 6 planks 6 1/4 with random lengths the longest being 8'. Total cost for the planks were $30 bucks and for $10 more he ripped them into squares. Now all I need to do is cut around the knots.....

Cheers,
O.D.

Yes, easy on your tooling and easy to sand, takes sealer well and the fish don't seem to care....

The spooks I made last year did really well!!!

Mike, you get that down the street from me? I noticed he put a sign out by the street. I'm surprised because I thought he didn't want people just showing up unannounced? Maybe I'll buy one a chicken coop from him and start getting my own eggs.

Yeah John that's the guy, I'm guessing that he's feeling the pain of a bad economy also... Remember with chickens, comes coyotes....

Bill, I have a couple heading your way!!!

Mike, SWMBO won't let me have weapons. She thinks I shoot myself, accidently or something. I'm more concerned she'll realize the life insurance is a better deal than living with me.
