Shopsmith Forums

Probably my last post here

At least this year.

Thanks to each of you serving here and helping others. I pray you have a happy, healthy and prosperous new year and enjoy your Shopsmith journeys in 2018.

Happy New Year to you as well.

You had me going when I saw the title ....

That was as bad as April fools ... LOL

Happy New Year to you and everyone here! This is the absolute best Shopsmith resource, keep it going!

I love the twisted fence post. Diana and I were just laughing this morning as we unloaded some firewood. I had cut a 4' piece of a fallen limb in half that had laid on the ground for maybe 2 or 3 years or more and tossed it in the load. My number one rule for firewood is that it must be "flammable"... Otherwise I will burn about anything. As we unloaded the truck I picked up the gnarliest half of the piece and said "I'm trying to decide whether to put this in the wood rack or to clean it up and varnish it".
I need to set up a separate little spot for "saved" firewood. I have a small batch of hollow sections I have saved to make squirrel nest boxes and some smaller ones for birdhouses. I have other gnarly pieces that just look cool and a number of future walking sticks. I also have a small batch of slightly longer pieces that I have split out of bigger stuff and sat back to dry for making tool handles. The older ones are now maybe about 3 or 4 years old.

Happy New Year to all my friends on this forum.

Happy New Year all.

Dammit, Do not scare us that way!

Happy New Year indeed("It's [still] alive"!).

Here is a picture of that piece of wood I mentioned above. I'm afraid it doesn't show up as well in the picture.
