>Good to see you back Gary. Am I to understand that you are now a desk jockey vs and Pro Woodworker?

I finally bought a mustang, which I've always wanted. Washing and taking care of it takes up alot of time.

-CONGRATULATIONS!! What year? Convertible? 5 speed? 351 engine?

Anyways, I just found out that my wife is pregnant with our first child !!!!

-UH-OH!!! Bye bye 'Stang. :~(

>Everybody keeps telling me that I'm going to lose my mustang todd, it may be a reality, but right now I'm avoiding it like the plague! Anyways, it's a 2000 Mustang Convertible, 5 speed, Bullit Rims, Performance Red.....I love it. :-) And yes, I became a wood office Desk Jockey....I now (I can't believe I'm saying this in the hand tool section) program the CNC machines in the shop, in addition to my role as Senior Project Manager (was just promoted). I'm looking forward to getting back out in the shop, maybe to make a crib.

>but by the time the kid is 2 years old, the crib is ancient memories. Even a large crib is too small for them.

A rocking chair, however, for Mom, lasts for a much longer time. Keep mom comfortable!

>time they are deeply appreciated by the new mother. As was said, they can become heirlooms and passed down from generation to generation when they are built by a member of the family. I made a number of little rockers like this:

The people who own them keep them in their living rooms even though the kids are now grown up. They will be used again in the future.
