We also mover the drill press to a better spot and got it where it won't move everytime you touch it.

Chuck showed up,I think he has 4 or 5 bows in the works now.

GregB with another knife he is working on. Me sanding a hide,I have found this really help in them being soft when you finish.

Returing to work does have it good sides...
High speed internet.

Cant see the pix of "The Good Life" with the dial-up that we have at home.

Pappy: I need a dose of The Good Life.
Will try and see if I can work out a visit after the new year.
