Thanks for reminding me Swan. The wife wants a 45 degrees stand for her Kleenex box in the bathroom.

That sounds like a great idea, but unless it came in a simple kit, it wouldn't be for me.

Thanks for the link. No doubt, some of these guys are professional wood makers. Interesting steam locomotives made from wood. Some of the best ones I have seen were at the Seagate Center in Toledo, Ohio. That show comes up I believe sometime this coming April. I missed last years show. Everything from model trains, planes, boats and cars. Its a three day show and I am definitively not going to miss that one. This time my camera is not optional. By the way, get there early. The crowds are massive for this show.

Right! But we'd need lights and animation.

I've seen so many creative ideas at our local wood working clubs and shows. I still want to make a 36" to 48" locomotive. Maybe this winter. If I do I will post it. Some of the local guys I would say are artists with their wood projects.

It was the 80-400. And the D600. Always look for the Moon, I am hooked till I get just the right one.:):)

Thanks. In our Amateur Radio group, we have some guy who uses E.M.E. (earth-moon-earth) bounce. Sending a signal to the moon and having it bounce back down to earth to make contact with another F.C.C. licensed personal. Another reason for me to be interested in the moon.

I have a couple of nice Betta jars I could add to the mix!! But I have to say, it was way easier to make a jar look like this with made-from-scratch brownie ingredients from the kitchen and a lot less chance of loosing a finger!!

That should keep him busy. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Polaroid??? This is kind of off the wall as I see it. We all know this company is not known for television manufacture so do you trust them? I don't.

Not much of a bargain to me.

I agree. I would not chance purchasing a Polaroid TV.

That is pretty cool FB!!! And I think this "wood" give Jerry something to try too. And I just happened to have a glass jar for him. I picked it up at a flea market last year. And it should keep him busy for a while. 5 gallon old glass water bottle!!!:):):)
Erv

I hope he gets that Ryobi table working and in order. Five gallons of sawdust is quite a bit of wood cutting. That man cave of his will be busy for quite some time.
