Weekend projects

Ernie Miller Topeka

>I haven�t a clue what I am going to do. I need to clean the basement just out since the nander shop as it has became a dumping ground for rust to either be used of sold. I also need to start making some drawers for a blanket chest that I have started. Then there is the Christmas shopping? Better do some of that. What do you get for a Wife that doesn�t have any hobbies other than taking care of me? I need to mow the yard one last time and it is going to be nice tomorrow so that will be up on the list. At any rate what ever you do HAVE a SAFE & ROCKIN GOOD WEEKEND!!

In Search of Bambi

mfitterling in Lake Wales, FL

>GOing to take most of the weekend off and hit a new hunting spot, only accesible by boat. My borther scouted it a week or so ago and it just might be the place to break my dry spell.

Oh yeah, and am going to start making raised panel doors on Sunday (12 of them) for a cabinet job I've been working on forever.

Playing with my tools

David Miller from Iowa

>I've been on the road for a month, and when I got home there were three Stanley 45s I had picked up on eBay waiting for me. One is that elusive Type 6, near mint (you know, the one with the cutter adjuster and the knob on the body not on the fence) - I've been tracking this one for... well, I have never seen one in the wild (or in person anywhere) and there it was on eBay for the price of a crummy Type 7B. So it's off to the shop, into the parts bin to make sure they have all the correct fittings, then it's time to rearrange the tool display. Whoo Hoo!

>I have my grand childern for the weekend. Tomorrow my grandson and I are going to do some "GUY" things. Dorp off some blades for sharping, a dump run (never too early to teach him about collecting) then off to a good old fashion hardware store.

After that we'll pick up Nana and the grand daughter and go cut a Xmas tree, don't worry we'll use a bow saw and not the 20" chain saw.
