Glad to here your surgery went well and that your recovery sounds to be moving along quite nicely. I have not been on here in a while so I was not aware of your situation, It seems there are spells in which family life just has to take priority and I am in hiatus for a few months. Anyway, my father-...

I'm looking at a mid 60's (its beige) Mark 5. I haven't gone to see it yet but for $170 I think I can't go too far wrong. Only issue is that I don't have a truck to pick it up with. If I disassemble it will it fit in a Chrsyler Intrepid, huge trunk.... The tubes would be your only problem, but if y...

Wow....how many of us actually know what a Corvair is.....I think your showing you age! My parents actually had two of them as GI's often sell used cars to one another as they move from AFB (Air Force base) to AFB.

I had some nice colors picked out for the shop walls but I probably won't be using them. I got over 20 gallons of Pittsburgh paint for free today... Kind of hard to pass up the price. :D It's not a bad color but I can't find the color name on it. The best I can describe it is that it is close to th...

First, your pieces look great, second, and most importantly, I am glad you did not get hurt! Keep up the fine work on the furniture.

Yes, I hope so, I am really eager to get it finished (initially) and then get started on some projects I have had on the back burner.

That new shop is shaping up just great, and in record time, to boot. I'd rather have it than a Corvette any day. (At my age, I'd still be invisible to the chicks if I was driving a friggin' flying saucer!) So Todd, where does that whoppin' big fan of yours go in the new shop? :D I guess the wind tu...

Painted the shop on Tuesday, when my father surprised me by showing up with 5 gallons of white gloss latex paint he had leftover from a job he retired from about 6 years ago. The bucket looked the worse for wear, and when I opened it I was unsure if it would be ok. However I have a big paddle drill ...

Because. I was somewhat side tracked by my father-in-law yesterday, I called up my 18 year old grandson and asked if he wanted to make a $100. He had called last week looking for some odd jobs to do on the farm, to make money, but at the time I did not have anything that needed doing. He jumped at t...

[quote="fredsheldon"]Won't be long now before you are popping out canoes and bowls ] Ha, not sure about any canoes! But I have been reading your bowl making thread, actually re-read all 16 pages yesterday morning before heading back out to work on the shop. I have not used a lathe since Hi...
