The Coffee Shop / Re: Free snow shoveling clinic
« on: February 11, 2013, 10:52:11 am »
The last time it snowed here my wife cautioned me not to over do it shoveling the walk. She left and went to town. A couple of the neighborhood youngsters came by with snow shovels, so I hired them to do our 16' by 4' walk. We had almost and inch of snow so I paid them $50.00 each. After they were done I invited them in to warm up and even sent them away wit a cup of hot chocolate. My wife was very upset when she found out. Did I pay too much? Here are a couple of picture i snapped of the little darlings.

Over the past couple of weeks I tried out the steelwool-vinegar mix on some projects. I did test on a scraps before doing the actual piece. the first is a frame for a customer. The wood is white pine. Color came out to a golden brown. the second is a design I modified from smitty312. I had to remove the dates in the middle because I broke off one of the numbers while handling ( an Oh crap moment). the mixture was brushed onto the frame with a foam brush, the heart plaque was actually dipped. The wood was also white pine. The color of the plaque is actually darker that it looks in the picture and the grain shows nicely. Darn near the color of walnut. The other picture is an non stained piece (once again a modification of Smitty312 design) in white pine. Even though the wood is the same, the colors came out different. Each test piece reflected the color accurately. The mixture is -well the only way to say it - it stinks, stinks, stinks. It took 3 or 4 days for he smell to be out of the wood. The frame then got 3 coats of gloss lacquer. The customer loved the color, so all was well.

« on: February 09, 2013, 10:48:12 am »
Teacher asks the kids in class:
What do you want to be when you grow up?
Little Johnnie: I wanna be a billionaire, going to the
most expensive clubs, take the best b!?$h,
give her a Ferrari worth over a million bucks,
an apartment in Copacabana, a mansion in Paris,
a jet to travel through Europe, an Infinite Visa Card
and to make love to her three times a day.
The teacher, shocked, and not knowing what to do
with the bad behavior of the child, decides
not to give importance to what he said and then
continues the lesson . .
So Nancy,what do you want to be when you grow up?
I wanna be Little Johnnies b!?$h!

I had heard about the Christms-Garbage packages. Seems like it was late 1970's or early 80's time frame. It was a garbage workers strike in New York.
