Mick and Bob, I have never been to Australia. But in my working life, I ran across a HERD of Ozzies! (At one point, it seemed any rock one kicked over had an Ozzie beneath it.) One thing I noticed (Other than the pechant for alcohol, and the desire for danger and hard work) they are what...

Yeah, Bob, That is exactly what happened! It ain't gonna happen again! Splinters an inch deep into my chest and arms, kind of reminds me of my idiocy. I have worked wood since I was a child, I have never been so surprized. (Well, there was the time I sawed off the tippy tip of a finger, when...

Jack and Chuck, For general wood working, a sliding miter saw is surpassed only by the table saw, the battery powered screw gun, and the RO sander. It will cut a 4X6 at any angle (up to 45 degrees) within 1/100th of a degree. It is far more accurate than most of our eyes. (Kind of like...

Chuck, A feather board is a one bye, properly cut at a 30 degree angle, and then sliced, in quarter inch intervals, londitudnally, about eight inches, to another 30 degree angle. It's used for holding material tight to a fence, to insure the cut is precise A welcome added benefit, is...

This not a question, but a warning. Do NOT re-angle feather boards with a sliding miter saw! The feather board will explode, driving riata pine shrapnel into walls, arms, and chests! AND, knock a carbide tip off of one tooth of a fifty dollar saw blade! Don't ask me how I know this! (It...

Baldy, that is a gorgeous little craft. I am afraid if I had built anyting that pretty, I would never let it get near the water. I would have to frame it and hang it on the bedroom ceiling. If I EVER get through with this house remodeling, I would like to build a stripper canoe.

This isn't my story, but that of a friend from years ago. Kurt was one of those guys you like to have on the job. He was always where work was taking place. And when he left that job, he went to another. Sometimes he had up to four jobs at the same time. He's in his early sixties now and still...

My most surprising dip, was when I beached a canoe on a beautiful white sandy shore line. My second oldest son, who was about twelve at the time, was in the front. The beach was quite flat, but in the length of the canoe, the water was six feet deep. I held the bow against the shore line, and...

I have probably eaten a ton of minute rice, while camping over the years. But I haven't cooked any inside since my college days. Then we had a recipe, we called "The Old Creole Recipe". It was about as Creole, as Lox and bagels. It was an awful concoction, of ground beef, onion,garlic,tomato...

Mick and Miz Robin, Thank you, thank you, thank you. I could almost smell the armpit in a couple of those whale photos! (I was referring to the whales, Mick, don't get testy!) And the last few, that you apoligized for, I like about the best! A great array of "piccies"! Thanks...
