Awesome.  You have more talent in 1 finger than I have in both hands.

Re: Building a clock.  I built a 42" tall York Minster cathedral, plus a pedestal, for a total height of 6+ feet.  16' string of white Christmas lights inside.

IF I had it to do over again, I would definately attach sheets of stained glass to the insides.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Exercise should be more like Trick-or-Treating:  Walk 20 feet, get a piece of candy, walk 30 feet, get another piece of candy, walk 15 feet, get a piece of candy............

Hi Chelcass,  This is a part of an article, "7 things men will never understand about women."    Enjoy.

7.  On the more practical side of things, men will never understand our ability to multi-task.  While, for many of them, eating popcorn and watching a movie at the same time is about as far as they get, it's not uncommon for us to be able to juggle 4 or 5 tasks at the same time.  And we aren't just saying this ---science can, and has, proved it.

Your response was superb.  Please give yourself a high five !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Jonny, if coal is selling at $6 a ton, and you paid $24, how many tons would you get?"

"Slightly over three tons."

"No, that's not right."

"I know, ma'am, but they all do it."

My wonderful wife and I are married 51+ years.  A couple of years ago, we bought 2 burial plots and a headstone at a NE Iowa cemetary.  WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY !!   We have money tied up in that investment, and it hasn't done us a darn bit of good.

Learn from the mistakes of others and save your money.

On page 8, center left side, the cathedral picture.  I sent that in.  Not exactly accurate or complete.  I designed the pedestal.  (Certainly no big deal).  The credit to John Nelson is for the 2 pedestal, fretwork, decorative, pedestal TOP supports is how it should have read.  (They are BARELY visible).
 Bought my first scroll saw August 2012.  This was my first project.  Saw was $70 at Menards Building Center.  (I think they only exist in the midwest U.S.)  One of our sons commented at the time, "It's good to see you start with something simple Dad".
