Happy Thanksgiving 2015!

I went to work overnight on November 19 and during lunch we had chicken, coleslaw, mashed potato, pasta and apple pie for dessert courtesy of the store. Not so much shoppers came in during the Black Friday sale unlike the previous years where there is along line of shoppers who are really aggressive in getting the items they want. Maybe people do get tired of TVs and laptops and it's not every year you buy them anyway.


One thing I cay say is, the food this year is really good.

Happy Thanksgiving and keep safe. Don't drink too much.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.

Kylo Ren

The latest request from my grandson is to make him a Kylo Ren wood figure. Being a doting grandfather that I am, I grabbed my whittling knife and a piece of basswood and went to work. And here's the result.




My grandson enjoyed playing with Kylo Ren. I had a lot of fun making it.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.

Primitive Fish Hook

I've often seen this primitive fish hook in blogs and in YouTube but I never got to making it. One day when I was walking in the park I saw a tree with a lot of thorns. I don't know what kind of tree it was but I thought I can use the thorns to make a primitive fish hook. So I picked up a dead twig lying on the ground and brought it home.
I used the inner strands of 550 cord to tie the thorn down on the wood stem. The knot itself is easy to make once you learn how to do it.
Will it catch a fish? Maybe or maybe not, who knows, but I've some fun making it.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.
