Time for some fun.

" You can take the boy out of the country, but you can’t take the county out of the boy. "

I decided to rent a tractor to level and resurface my gravel driveways, had a great time for 4 hours remembering my days on the farm working the fields, only thing I forgot was the strain on my back after looking backwards to control the box scraper. Spent the last 3 days nursing pulled back muscles. Maybe at age 65, “the country may start to be taken out of the boy" 

Keeping my Fingers

Every Woodworkers nightmare is the possibility of loosing a finger or incurring a major injury from using a table saw. Well, in August 2014 I had a mishap that took part of my thumb.  For years I have been reading about the Saw Stop professional saws that have a unique brake design that detects hand and finger contact with the saw blade within milliseconds, instantly stopping and retracting the blade thereby avoiding injury.

Today I picked up my new Saw Stop Jobsite saw. It goes without saying I have no desire to test it to make sure it works. 

Out with the old, in with the new

Good old Craftsman, been dependable for 20 years

Ready for my next project.
