Popular Post Dan Posted September 19 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 19 I haven't done much woodworking over the past year. In June I decided it was time to retire. I planned to do more scrolling and turning but priorities were in order. Paint the house, build shutters, work on the garage walls, etc. Well, I took a short break the past few days from my retirement list and made a few things. The lidded box is based on a Steve Good pattern. I modified it a bit. Used walnut and maple and put some felt in the bottom. I will give it to one of my granddaughters. The two bowls are from the scrap of the lidded box. These were turned on the lathes. They are very small but the grandkids love playing with them when they come over. The egg holder is for my wife. We had chickens a few years ago, then the township said we couldn't have them. We got rid of them. Then the township passed a resolution allowing us to have chickens, less than a year after we got rid of them. Now we have 6 (don't tell the township as we are only allowed 5). Two hens have started laying and we are getting 1 to 2 eggs a day right now, so I thought I should replace the egg holder we got rid of. I know, the screws are sitting proud. I did replace them with shorter screws. Also, pardon the photography. I've been using my phone which doesn't work well with LED lights. I hope to have more projects in work into fall and winter.

wombatie Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 Love the idea of the the egg holder. Now that you have retired you will wonder how you managed to work all those years because you have so mush to do and you want to do.

heppnerguy Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 I have been retired for 22 years and boy has it gone by quickly. You will soon see what I mean. I enjoy looking at your projects as all are done very nicely. We have been fighting a record hot summer and finally got some relief from the 100 degree up to 116 all summer long to finally down in the 90s. But all of a sudden it is back to 104 to 113 every day again. Makes going to the shop a little bit on the 'not today' basis. I am glad you made it a point to take a break from the chores and hit the shop and produce some really nice projects. I really like every one of them and thank you for posting them for us to see also Dick heppnerguy Dan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
