Shop Maintenance
Spending the day doing some much needed rearranging in the shop .... should be back up and running by the weekend. Then getting busy next week on the Forman Fire Dept. 36 inch dia. maltese cross. Crossing my fingers that I have all of the math right on that one. Then we are going to start on some pieces for a VERY Large project. .... almost 300 square feet.
Cabinet Rebuild
R-CUBED
Recycle, Reuse and Rebuild
In the same vain as taking your grandmothers wedding rings and having them repurposed. We can take that family heirloom piece of furniture and give it new life or just make it look like Brand New.
Pics of the Cabinet Rebuild
This is the project that we did as a Valentine's gift for a friends wife. The base of the cabinet is a Valentines gift that he gave to her about 11 years ago, it just didn't fit their decor anymore. The panels are Maple glue-ups that are stained with MinWax tintable stains. As firm believer's in R-Cubed (recycle, reuse and rebuilt) we had to reinvent it.....

Tongue Drum project
I had a blast building this ... I learned a lot about wood and myself. The finish is buffed to 4000 grit and then waxed. I got the plans from TongueDrum.com ... very complete and a great resource for tuning Tongue Drums.

Sorry this video is a little dark (in a bar) but the sound is good - minus the quack at the beginning.
Forman Fire Event Sign
We want to say a big “Thank You” to Rosemary Palmer for donating the materials. Special Thanks also go to the guys on the CarveWright forum that shared patterns, the FFPD Volunteers that helped along the way and the Manito Community for your support.
Special “Thanks” to Tracy Ward, Dan Kraft, Josh Moore and Tubby.
I think I used almost every tool in my shop in this one.

It's About Time
Well I'm off to the shop to start on the bluegill project - I will hopefully have some pictures to post this evening. We started with an STL image and turned it into a PTN with the CarveWright STL Import software. We'll see how it goes.

USS Dunham to be christened Saturday

BATH, Maine -
BATH, Maine — Saturday is Cpl. Jason Dunham Day in Allegany County, as proclaimed by county Board of Legislators Chairman Curtis Crandall. However, it is only one of several honors given to the fallen hero. Saturday also marks the christening of the USS Jason Dunham DDG 109 in Bath, Maine.
When Cpl. Jason Dunham passed away in April 2004, a new chapter began in his life’s story, albeit a posthumous one. As a result, Dunham’s memory will live on through the Scio library, the post office, and his brothers and sisters serving aboard the USS Jason Dunham.On Saturday, his mother, Debra Dunham, will break a bottle of champagne over the hull of the USS Jason Dunham, following a long Navy tradition.
Dunham was awarded the highest honor for an American military man when, on Jan. 11, 2007, President George W. Bush presented the Marine’s family with the Congressional Medal of Honor. It was presented in a special ceremony at the White House in Washington, D.C. Dunham was the second American to receive the Medal of Honor from service in Iraq, and the first Marine to receive the honor since the Vietnam War. In his hometown of Scio he has been honored with a room in his name in the new library located on Main Street and by the local post office which, shortly after his death, was officially renamed in his honor.
Now, the men and women who serve aboard the USS Jason Dunham will wear a patch of the ship’s crest on their uniforms which represents the sacrifice made by Dunham.
A press release from the Bath Iron Works restates the facts surrounding Dunham’s act of heroism.“On April 14, 2004, Squad Leader Cpl. Jason Dunham‘s squad was on patrol in Karabilah, Iraq when they heard the explosions of an ambush on their Battalion Commander’s convoy. ... Jason’s squad boarded Humvees and headed to the rescue. In that hunt they encountered a group of Iraqi vehicles, and stopped to check them out.” Jim DeMartini, manager of communications for the Bath Iron Works, recently said in a press release, “It was there that his fatal encounter with the attackers occurred. We’re very excited about this ship and very pleased to be honoring the sacrifice of Jason Dunham in this way.”DeMartini explained the poignant symbolism on the patch.
“In the middle of the crest there is a helmet of antiquity, which symbolizes Dunham’s sacrifice of his life to protect his troops. The helmet of antiquity recalls the incident of enemy attack on Dunham’s squad, during which he used his helmet to contain a grenade and covered it with his body to protect his squad at the cost of his own life."
The colors, dark blue and gold, represent the United States Navy, while the purple detail on the helmet refers to the Purple Heart medal awarded to Dunham. The eagle, globe and anchor is the insignia of the United States Marine Corps and the inverted mullet symbolizes the Medal of Honor.”After Saturday’s christening, the USS Jason Dunham will be moved into drydock and then into the Kennebec River where it will be lowered into the river and tugged to the west bank. It will undergo Builders Trials until March and is scheduled to be delivered to the Navy in April 2010 where it is expected to join the fleet and sail to its home port in San Diego, Calif.

She never....
ceases to amaze me. Little Miss Kendall just said that 1 plus 1 is 2. Keep in mind she was counting marshmellows, but none the less at 2 and a half she did her first math problem.
