Lixy...........looks like Hubby is a natural when it comes to wood work,and has a nice wood shop as well.

And your pretty dang handy with a camera..............great pictures sweetie!!!

Lixy....I LOVED the pics!! Thank you soo much for sharing them with us! Your hubby is an excellent craftsman!!


(*I wonder if he can make oak dildo's*) ;) :D

Lixy---FYI:If you want to know if something is lead,check it with a magnet.Lead doesn't have nickel in it,so is not magnetic!
As far as typing goes,check your local High Schools.I took a night course in keyboarding,at the High School,in the next town.You
learn right on computers.
That's a good idea with the lack of the woodstove.I had a sheet-
metal stove in my garage(motorcycle business)so that I could work after supper.I finished,working one night&came in the house.My garage is not attached to my house.Luckily,I forgot something,and went back out.The stove had started a fire in my
garage.I quickly got everything out,after opening the main door.
I called the Fire Dept.Luckly,the damage was minimal.This was 3 yrs ago.
Hope this helps! Irish

Thanks SR.......I agree! Nothing like watching him work his wood!

Diva.....YSVW! And ya know....if he shellacs it enough (no splinters) it could be an interesting project.....LOL! I'll ask him for ya!

Irish....Thanks hun......It's definitely not lead! I can tell from the texture after the scratch test...but could tell all along due to the difference in iron and lead mass. It's a very hard metal....very dense but not like lead so I thought it iron instead. It will attract a magnet but is not magnetic itself. It is a cast and is pitted...but doesn't look used. Since this house and barn are so old....and used to be a working farm....we got to thinking it could be some sort of farm implement or something to do with horses. It was made for something specific....but I can tell through lack of wear marks that it has never been used. As to hubby going to typing class...........ROFLMFAO! I should post the notes he wrote down when he took a two week course in conversational Pa. Dutch! Near the end of the course...the notes went something like this......"Fuck this"....."This sucks"......."I'm bored and could really use a cold on"....."Id rather be sleeping"...."Bite me"....."I'm starving"..................LOL! I swear they are just a few of his "notes" from the last days of class! He'd NEVER take the time to sit through a typing course.....I tried to teach him and he just hates it! Thanks for the suggestion though! *hugs*

Hey, I think I used those same notes in an Economics class. :D

You're wrong DB. Those are the notes from English class.

LMFAO! Good and Proper English class even! He does have a way with words, eh? When we first moved into this house we had Mennonite neighbors. At one time hubby was on the barn roof and almost lost his footing and his drill was sliding down....and so he used his "good and proper" English to stop the drill and himself from going ass over tincups! Well, the next door neighbor was outside taking her clothes down from the line at the time..............and not even 6 months later they moved! Hmmmmm? Think his English had anything to do with that? Maybe he shoulda said it in dutch! LMAO!

Oh well… there goes the neighborhood.:rolleyes:





LMAO:D
