I actually got 2 emails this week from friends who read these pages asking me what the deal was ,health wise
To anyone else reading these post ,all I can say is right now I'm in limbo .The tests are in. Now I have to go to the appropriate specialist and weigh my options .
Its looks like my hips are in bad shape .The left being worst than my right . My back has 3 bad vertebrae and a bulging disc .
All of this is the result of over 40 years of heavy construction and a gene or two that favors arthritis .
That's all I know and won't bore any one who reads this blog any more about this .
The trout season open 4/1 , bass 4/15, I have 3 boxes of new fruit trees to plant and a ton of other things to do .
I've called all my customers and told them if they couldn't wait, to get someone else for I don't know how long I will be laid up.Just don't want to drop out of sight with this economic turn down
The photo posted is my next project.I have to find a place to put my growing plane colleection.I found this photo one one of the many list that I subscribe too .Its not my design
I dropped a Stanley # 10 the other day and now I have two 5's lol or a bunch of parts that i will never use .I 'm going to try and get it welded .Unfortunately the weld will cost more than another one on the 'bay
now if you drop one of those #5's and get 5 #1"s... well you would be set. I have a really nice rabbitting plane that I dropped a few years ago. It was a great tool that did it's job well, not it sits in the drawer as a reminder of the fact I am human and make many stupid mistakes.

Frank,
ReplyDeleteIf I had 5 ones I would have had enough currency to finish the globetotter. Thanks for the support and encouragement.
FYI I did find a one last year with a none original tote that I got for about 75% off the going rate for collectors
Your metal work is amazing
