Little Joe

Well, I had just gone through a major medical problem and I needed to change the way I was living my life to get away from STRESS... I stumbled on The New Yankee Workshop on TV... WOW! What a cool program! I can learn something from this! I watched & recorded it whenever I could. From there, I started collecting some tools... started making small things... the cost of wood was not anticipated for my limited fixed income... what a BLOW! ... I collected wood on trash day whenever people were throwing perfectly good wood... a friend gave me his scraps... My first large project was a small kitchen island table unit... I used 2x4's, trimmed to look good, glued them together for the legs... pallet scraps for as much as I could... and I broke down and purchased some Poplar for what was needed to finish it... Norms tutoring got me through it! I now enjoy making small boxes, little things, as well as book cases & an entertainment center! I love to design, draw, and build what I want... I did buy the plan for the island!

I hope NYWS episodes will continue to be shown... even though I have seen them a few times, I STILL enjoy watching them to embed the techniques into my mind.

I've always wondered about one thing though... "and now a few pins to hold it while the glue dries."... after the glue dries, does he take them out? (big grin)

Norm, thanks a MILLION for your wonderful education! May the rest of your life be happy and fulfilled the way you want it! We look forward to seeing you again in future ventures you may decide to take.

Above all... Have FUN!

Thank you,

That is SO nice!

Good job... thank you!

Derek, a fine straight forward method of getting that top curved!

Very good!

Thank you for sharing.

When the document first came up (without logging in) it would NOT display the individual pictures when they were 'clicked'... it drove me out of my mind... I was furious as to how such mistakes could get by the simplest form of testing!

I was SO MAD, I was going to comment on the subject to let you know about it.

I find out I have to Login to send a Comment... so I do.

NOW, the pictures WORK when clicked!

May I suggest that you do one of TWO things?
1. Instead of NOT displaying the pictures when clicked, display "Sorry, you must Login in order to see the pictures".

or

2. Just display the pictures when they are 'clicked'.

It is NOT GOOD to continue they way it is!

Thank you,
Joe
