Entry: Here is a restart Wednesday, May 04, 2005



Well, here is to changes. We are going to change the direction and ideas on this blog.

We are going to talk about hobbies, in particuliar, woodworking. I have started getting into this field now and think it might be fun to track my progress with various projects.

Also, my son has joined the Cub Scouts and I have volunteered to be a leader so we will talk about some of these experiences.

In woodworking I have been working with the scrollsaw and with turning. I haven't been real happy with the scrollsawing I have done so far because I couldn't get thin lines as I wanted to. I had a cheap scroll saw. I have now changed to a better one and now I will have to experiment with it for a bit to see how I like it. Got a dragon piece to experiment with and will have to pick up some of the different blades and see what they do.

As far as turning I have turned some spindle pieces just to learn how the lathe and tools work. Then I proceeded to make some pens. That was a trip, but fun. They were not quite as good as I wanted but they were appreciated by all who got one. I have since bought a smaller lathe to turn those on and have redesigned the shop to allow a new workbench for setting it on with the ability to change to other tools as I need to. A little more rearranging and we will try it again.

As for my adventrues with the Cub Scouts I'll cover that later.

Have a nice night all and enjoy life.
