What Did You Do Today?
WhistlingBadger:
JW, I have a whistle (flute) made of sweetgum by my friend Mack Hoover. It's beautiful both to look at and to listen to!
But what did I do today? I just led about 300 K-3 students in Christmas carols while they said hi to Santa. It's one of the greatest parts of my job. :) :) :) (S)

I went to an estate sale a few years ago because they had a Shopsmith planer, they also had every Shopsmith tool known to man. I bought the $1500 planer for $300, I intended to use it for leveling gunstock blanks but my chainsawed out planks were too rough to run through it, they wouldn't auto feed it so I sold it for what I had in it.
Aside from a free standing Shopsmith bandsaw no one wanted the rest of the system and I think it went for less than $1000 and that was with all the lathe tools, drill bits, sanding disc and a ton of other parts, it had everything you could put on one and was a top of the line model.
This is the planer I bought;

No one will thank you for that, but it is a very important job. So I thank you.

That reminds me of the first time I baby sat my oldest granddaughter. Her mom said she just made a dirty diaper so she should be good. She no more than left an she made another. I got that cleaned up and in a little while she made another.
She’s my favorite granddaughter and I can say that because she is my only granddaughter. I tell her that all the time. Once in awhile I tell her about the first time I babysat her to.lol

See that post from Paul was awhile back. So was my babysitter job. She’s a pretty young lady now. She gives grandpa a good hug now. Wow that time went fast.

I like to keep a few gizmos around to give to struggling newbies, I was out of them. I can make the plain cedar ones quickly so I knocked out a few to keep on hand.
