The Fluffy Woodworker

Well the sun is shining the skies are blue and the temps ar high, I was just wondering what my wood working fiends in this great world have been doing. Have you Hung up your saws, put away your planes and been out enjoying mother nature? So let us all know post it here if you wish and share with us all. I myself have been carving native American style flutes and enjoying the nice wheather.

Well finish making flute number 2 for my self this time I used some of the wood I got from the piano place. And carved a the totem from some old tree limbs.

Well howdy yall I know it has been awhile since my last post but thing are busy. Thanks to the nice weather we have been having I have been out side doing yard things. As for the woodworking well still no bench but that will come with time. The money is in short supplies these day my better halfs job did not work out and was short lived. Aaa ask maybe next time. But! That does not mean I have done nothing I an putting on the final touches to a native American style flute all hand carved with some new carving knives I made. I will post pics as soon as it is done. So for now be safe have a great summertime and se ya around the shop. Well here is the picture I promised.

Well not flowers pre-say things are moving in a positive direction these day. My lovely wife has managed to find work after looking for over 6 months. So money will be less of a problem soon we hope. I have been researching work benches and found one I think will work for my situation. More on that later just wanted to update you all seeing how I have not been on much. So more to come soon.

I know I have not posted much about woodworking on here lately I do apologize for that. I wanted to keep this blog as neutral as possible but sometimes you need to speak your mind even if no one wants to hear it. So, back on track there not much going on these days money, health, weather, etc.. have all played a hand in that. However I did help a friend repair his basement floor which was a workout and a half. And my back paid dearly for it, I am hoping the next few months will be better money wise and I can get back to rehabbing my saws and start on my bench, I also need to go back to my friends to kill a few electrons and make some spoon blank for carving. So as I have more to post I will do so please hang in there and keep checking back.

Well the weather and my health have taken a turn for the better. The sun is shining and I feel much better, and I know I have not posted in a while due to there is not much to say, So maybe I will just say what is on my mind { warning bitch alter }. There is a saying that something is only worth what you are willing to pay for it and I agree so why are we { the country as a whole } willing to pay more for thing then they are worth. Is a gallon of gas really worth 4.00 is the car your driving really worth 30,000 the house you live in 2-300,000. do we need 2-4000 sq ft homes etc.. I know times are tough I for one have lived in the lower income bracket all my life so I have learned to do with less but the problem is I have no more to give. Due to health issues and the economy I now live on the income of what most people bring home in a week for the whole month and support 2 people on that income yes I do get public assistance but that has been cut back to less then 130 amon...

    Well lets start with the bad and ugly. It was a sad day here in Northeast Ohio as there was a shooting in a local area high school 3 young people lost their lives and 2 are injured. This is a very sad note for our school system and country as a whole. I find it very sad that we as a whole have come to this where the only way to settle thing is by killing an other person. My heart and prays go to the families of the victems and hope they will find peace someday soon. As for the shooter well it is sad in it's own right that a young man thought this was the only way to solve his problems. Enough said on this sad note and I will let you know if anything new comes of it.     Now onto the good. The weather and my health have truned to the better I am feeling good thing are getting bad to normal and the sun is (was) shining. I was able to finally do somethings outside that was needed. One i got to take my faithful shop dog (aka Bullet) for a much needed ...
