Dragonkort Posted August 31, 2020 Report Posted August 31, 2020 ok had some problems getting the pictures up...spike said the tags at the ends of the pictures was wrong and he fixed it. dont know why or how it got changed...iv been using this carma to upload pics for years...oh well. i HAD them all in proper order on the desktop but for some reason there NOT in order on here lol not even going to try to figure out why. lol on the vicking ship the front of the ship is on the left. lol connor said it looks like a head with the mouth opened. lol The first picture is of course connor with all the scroll saw gear on lol hes wearing my stuff but i have a pair of safety glass'es here that look like regular glasses except its all clear that i will give him along with the scroll saw and some masks and blades for christmas...they have a fairly cheap scroll saw at harbor fright that im going to buy for him since we couldnt get the 2 small old scroll saws to work.. for some reason we couldnt get the tenson on either one of them to tighten up.... but they have been just sitting not being used for over 15 years...lol he will paint his projejcjts at home. his parents will have to get the ear protection for him... and i'll suggest they get an electric sander for him at some point...these he sanded by hand because im trying to make his lessons be as close to what it will be when he starts scrolling.at home..i was going to get him the sander but since the old saws arnt working i'll be buying that for him instead. he said he cant wait until he can come down again!! lol my son called late yesterday afternoon to let us know they post poned opening the school again so he could stay another day but spike said no... just because i was really tired and had a bit of a headace....so to avoid a fight i told john to come get him.... now i know he is just looking out for me but gezz if i was willing to keep him another day it seems like the decission shoud of been mine unless he was the one who was to tired to have connor another day....oh well...he means well....but if this kind of thing keeps happening we are going to have to have a little talk because as the copd countues to get worse and worse im going to tire out faster and faster and ill get shorter of breath more often with less exsurtion... and i am NOT going to STOP living just because its a bit more diffculte. it seems like he would know that by now....after all i kept going through the years of constent migrines and headaces until the pain unbearable and never stop so i could recoparate these last 2 years... i just have to pace myself better i guess....i do love that man dearly but sometimes he can get on my nerves!!! lol which i suppose is only fair since i tend to get on his nerves sometimees to !lol meflick, new2woodwrk, Be_O_Be and 3 others 6 Quote
amazingkevin Posted September 1, 2020 Report Posted September 1, 2020 Misery loves company!!! Lol.keep on doing what makes you happy. Poor kid is so hung go to scroll i know his heart is broken not being able to stay 1 more day.everydays different, give and take,!!! Quote
Dragonkort Posted September 2, 2020 Author Report Posted September 2, 2020 so true. lol we went to harbor fright today and i picked up the new saw for him for christmass. We'll set it up here in my woodshop and tell him this is another small scroll saw he can use while hes here. then come christmas we'll put it back in the box with some blades, sandpaper tracing paper and carbon paper a few patterns and hopefuly i'll remember to get him the tracing tool from the winafield collection sight to make transfering the pattern to the wood . i would have said yes but spike is always looking out for me and he can always tell when my head is starting to hurt...and then reminds me to stop what im doing and take a break and of course as usuly he was right darn man!! with in an hour of connors leaving i had to take a pain pill perscribed for my migrines because the darn thing hit like a ton of bricks!! and of course he reminded me again that good stress is just as bad as bad stress when it comes to my head. which is why the holidays are so hard for me but i wouldnt give them up for anything in the world!!
