I got some good news today.. Kidneys are working better. I hope soon the tubes will be removed and I can get more done.
Have a good looking hunk of Box elder wood here!

Thanks very much!
Doc is going to run the tubes internally to the Bladder. Hope that works well. Will make everything easier.
Have been accumulating wood Some for bowls !
In the meantime, more organizing and cleaning up older tools. Specifically the Grizzly gunsmith lathe and the Milling Machine.
Both are looking MUCH better. Lathe 95% there, Mill about hmm... 70%. It has a spindle seal oil leak! out of my ability to repair. So a large can will live under the spindle.
And need to level both machines. Will not be an easy task.. uggh. Probably just put that off for a good while.
re-organized 3 bench top sanders, a Slow Grinder and a HF fast buffer, wire wheel, etc smaller machine. Slow grinder will have a Wolverine clone sharpening setup.
Neighbor moved the Jet wood Lathe to another bench...... in Anticipation of a new Record Herald Lathe!! Yee haw!!!! Should arrive this coming mid week! I sold my Firearms and trying to sell another. Will keep a .22RF. They were just safe queens anyway.
Get this though.... what is crazy "fun" - - - the Chemo includes a big dose of Prednisone steroid! Takes away pains, loads me up on wild energy, and do not sleep for 24 to 36 hours!!!! WOWZA! Get a lot of small tasks done. Hard crash coming soon for sure. Have been up since Wed 10:30am..
So glad to be back and pop in occasionally. May not turn many calls, may not sell even one, HAHA! but it feels really good.
Oh, the Open reed type....hmmm. Now it is a challenge.
Had to get full dentures. And they are LOUSY. So I do not wear them. Bah! I am old enough - I don't need any teeth or girlfriends haha. OTOH I can't work an open reed without them.
Considering how after cutting the blank from the jig, the rest of the work is all free hand Dremel, testing and fitting.
So, until I can get better ones ($$) I won't attempt them. Many months away.
Heck, I could stand to improve the jig in how in mounts and secures the Mylar.
well, peace out and good safe fun hunting!
