"Butterflies Are Free"

And it's good practice for when you visit your local Chinese restaurant!

Still waiting for Heinecke to reply to my email......

You can pick up a fairly inexpensive pack of 1500 grit wet/dry sandpaper at Lowes. Try stopping your knife with it. If the nick is still there, go to an 800 grit. Then once it's gone finish it off with the 1500 and then your leather strop. Whether there's a problem when you first purchase the blade...

It's alright, it's okay,
It doesn't really matter if you're old and grey.
It's alright, I say, it's okay,
Listen to what I say.

It's alright, we're doing fine,
It doesn't really matter if the sun don't shine.
It's alright, I say, it's okay,
We're getting...

Checked out the subject on a couple of other sites. Although it sounds like something left over from the inquisition, apparently there's some truth to it. It's believable. Just look how far modern medicine has evolved in the past 75-years!

You are an artist. That is a magnificent piece of work. Really a restful and peaceful video to watch!

My what big ears you have Grandma!

Doug.... If you Google Tupelo you'll get quite a few hits. I see that Greg Dorrance has some on his web site. I think that Greg is the guy that bought out SMWC's. However, by the pricing noted on most sites, it ain't cheap!...

Nice job Claude. But you're putting the rest of us to shame. I haven't made it past the Chinese New Years!

Andi.... Carving is like the martial arts. There's no fair or proper way. The proof is in the pudding! I know if very few carvers which have not used hand tools to supplement their power carving or vice versa. ...

I see snow on the ground! You've got to be someplace up north. If those poles had been in the ground down here in Florida they'd be saw-dust by now. We've got termites that eat concrete as a snack!

Great job Joe! They could even be Mr. & Mrs Dąbrowski ! Just a couple of old farmers!

Randy... As stated in another recently, I use the cushioned drum sanders and also scotch guard wheels. What would be your opinion on your disks in comparison?...

[Eddy-Smiles]

Joe..... I've tried both the flap sanders and the cushioned drum sanders and found that I prefer the cushioned drum sanders. Basically because the sandpaper is replaceable. I stocked up on sandpaper before SMWC's went out of business and have just t every grit that you have in flaps except the 600....

Joe...Excellent relief carving.

Joe! At my age and health food is the biggest motivator and she did bake an apple pie and make some apple crisp! You know the saying....

Merle... You've got a great memory! Yes I have made a couple of exterior signs for her but they were strictly surface wood-burning. This is my first attempt at giving them dimension....

Dileon.... It was fun and I learned a little bit about painting and shading. I've used watercolor paints on paper in the past but have done little with acrylics except to apply in a normal manner. My painting is still very amateurish but I'm pleased with the way they turned out. ...

And to think that there is a ban on lead based paint but so very little oversight on cosmetics! What is our government "thunking?"...

One of my wife's hobbies is planting flowers and shrubs that attract butterflies. She spends a lot of time working on her hobby , enjoying the fruits of her labor. She's like an over-protective mother when she finds newly laid butterfly eggs on her parsley and milk weed. I wanted to do something to...
