My Woodworking Skills

Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.

And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.

I found this old cartoon in a box in the attic and decided to preserve it here. I actually went to rocket science school, for what it is worth.

Work Bench

Here is my new guitar workbench, gratis, courtesy of Home Depot for me to review.

I added the drawers myself, and the side bins, to make a real nice piece of furniture. I pulled the drawers out of an old desk someone was throwing away last summer and tossed them in the attic for someday. Well, someday came - it pays not to be too proud on trash day - go price drawers, they're expensive. I made new matching fronts from a piece of floor molding. I also added the little shelves, vise, and power strip. The old towel makes a nice work surface for guitars. Of course, this bench is rated for 3000 pounds of abuse, but this one will never see that. Thanks, Home Depot!
