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!

Have been cleaning and organizing the shop.
Taking down a 20+ yr old shop cabinet.
These drawers can be reused later.
Took me several days to accomplish, but hey! Blessed to be able to get r done!

Wore out the past two days… from wrestling with a grinder and sharpening system install.
I had to take hydrocodone for the induced pain. A Lack of documentation, install video with errors. But for the lack of a paragraph in the document or 10 minutes to update the video..
Yes I’m at fault too cause I’m a dam dummy.
Oh well. I’m kinda on track now, but one lesson I learned.. I better buy a “matching “ cbn wheel to replace the AO one. Do not want to have take it all apart … or worse. Once was enough .Dang it.
Ps check out my new baby
