>I had my first heart attack some months ago and there has been a pause when my "woodworking" has been restricted to Wood Central. I have started again and after conditioning anew my bench and shop and tools and me and..., I made this so the Nitros won't powderize in a bottle in my pocket. The tools used: small japanese saw, large japanese plane with 70mm wide +450grs blade, drill, Lie-Nielsen dowel plate. Lower part is ebony, upper bilinga and finish 50%BLO 50% Tung-oil +bees wax.

>Pretty slick little container there Matti and easy to open.

Short story:

A son comes home to find his Daddead in the back-yard. Upon investigation it was discovered that Dad didn't have his Nitro tablets in his shirt pocket like he ALWAYS did. The son this funny and looked thru-out the house for them with no luck. A few weeks or so later the son decides to mow the lawn and while doing so he sees a brick laying there so he picked it and there, lo and behold was his Dads Nitro pills!! Seems Dad had an attack and couldn't get the cap off the bottle so he tried to bash it open with the brick, but the ground was soft at the time and the bottle just pushed into the ground. Very sad story, but hopefully this story will help prevent this from happening again.

Got a buddy that wears a Nitro patch, would this be an option for you?

>Sorry to hear about your cardiac problems, Matti! But, it good to hear that you are back on your feet.

That is quite a nice little pill container. I have never seen one quite like it.

>Howdy Matti!

Wondered where you had been. It's really good to see you back.

Listen you your doctors and keep those pills handy. We need a Finnish reply every now and then (sorry; bad pun; Colonel George is rubbing off on me).

>Hi, Matti! Glad you're o.k. I guess we're all wearing out/down and not much do be done about it. Nice little bottle. Do you get much time in the shop with your grandson(s)?

>Thank you all. I have new pipes inside the arteries near my heart that should last ~10yrs at least. So life goes on as usual.

Frank, we made a bed for my 6-year old granddaughter's christmas gift doll (she calls it Lotta) and she did the sawing and some planing and put srews with brace and bit. She took it home to paint with water colours and when I next time went there and we inspected the result she told that "it was good that Lotta got her own bed as she had been sleeping with me for quite a long time now". Those women!

This community is really a warm and friendly place. Thank You all.
