Jack Sawyer Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Three random "Bo" shots in my little Orbx universe. They're not MSFS quality which is why I've not been posting but what the heck, I'm bored to tears since the eye surgery has tied my hands. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the doc for the left eye on Tuesday and set up a surgery date then I reckon. I was wondering if I can post some of my woodworking photos in the lounge area? Would that be over the top?

Cheers, Jack Personally, I think that would be absolutely wonderful And I think we would all enjoy it. I remember a while ago , you posted one of a " hot air balloon" I think it was that you had made. Only one word - outstanding !! I've copied Iain, as he might have a few suggestions @Iain Emms Cheers Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been turning pens on the lathe, bowls, candlesticks, chess pieces, and all kinds of other stuff. Making tables, fully articulated construction toys, shop jigs, porch swings, wooden tools, you name it. And I just discovered a lumber yard that sells the most exquisite and exotic woods. Woods I've been wanting to use since I was a teenager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woods I've been wanting to use since I was a teenager. My brother-in-law is into woodworking. He has a "collection" of pieces of wood, ready for projects . He has collected them over his travels in North America for the past 40 yrs or so. It is really rare to find a lumberyard that actually stocks hard to get woods. I certainly hope your cc is in good working order. Even for a small piece its an absolute fortune! I really admire someone who has the skills and imagination to do this sort of task. My great grandfather and my grandfather were both master carpenters - actually great gf was a cabinet maker in the old country. Just goes to show that you can't pass this skill on to your kids and grandkids. I'm totally useless when it comes to woodworking. Actually more that useless - Dangerous is a word that my shop teacher used before I was banned from woodworking in grade 10 He just didn't see the scientific curiosity behind my dropping a chunk of 2x4 onto a spinning table saw just to see how far it would go. About 30 ft and right through a very large and expensive window. Cheers Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think know what you mean, I have a feeling and could be wrong but I think people either innately know how to use tools or they don't. When I was a kid I was forever taking things apart and putting them back together with improvements. Mind though that I know ZERO, ZIP, NADA, about finance, medical stuff, insurance, and a lot more. I do however love to study physics, astrophysics, and especially quantum physics as a hobby. But the white collar work, no clue. My wife is a whiz at insurance, I look at the forms and it zooms right over my head, but to her it's a second language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumbypickett Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Very nice shots Jack. Your a man of many talents with plenty to occupy your mind, which is a healthy thing to do. We have some nice Huon pine down here which has that beautiful smell to it. We are well known for our forests and plantations down here. Fly down make a boat paint it yellow and sail back. Bob's your Uncle. cheers Gumby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love to work some of that pine, it’s great for carving. And the smell is terrific, it’s the shop equivalent of baking bread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
