Re: My Hand Planes
Fantastic stuff. I am doubly appreciative, both for the beauty of your work, and as an old time wood boat builder, I have made and used similar planes. After using a wooden plane, a commercial steel faced plane feels like I'm using an ax. Being from Virginia, I had cherry and black locust available ...

Re: End of Summer...
I have been writing a novel and playing nurse to my wife who has been bedridden for six weeks, laid low by a serious case of pneumonia. I turned 80 in August. I appear to enjoy disgustingly good health.
Let us see those drums. Under construction photographs would be interesting.

Re: Petro Bond Mix 7 of 9
The problem I have seen with giving people money is that rather than empowering people, it seems to corrupt them. There are exceptions of course.

Re: Petro Bond Mix 7 of 9
Twenty-one speeds. I only use three. I can't imagine why anyone would want twenty-one speeds. Kind of like having money. After you have enough to live your life, why would you want to make any more?

Re: Petro Bond Mix 7 of 9
I bought a bicycle.
It's funny. I can't walk very far any more but I can ride this for miles. Go figure.

Re: Petro Bond Mix 7 of 9
To understand the art world as contrasted with the business world is similar to trying to understand quantum mechanics when your thinking is grounded in Newtonian and Einsteinian physics. So far they live in two different worlds, both of which seem valid. People don't buy art the way they buy washin...

Re: Petro Bond Mix 7 of 9
Okay Jerry, good so far. Now what are you planning to cast in that nice new sand? The only sand casting I have done was my first pour ever. I made a Gingery charcoal furnace back in about 1999 and melted aluminum beer cans. I poured a wine cup. I haven't melted aluminum since. Since then it has been...

Re: Skillets to cook in
Those old ones were nice to cook with. The new ones you can buy now are a bit rough. Probably made for city folks to decorate their kitchens.
