getting back into things
« on: May 21, 2012, 04:35:42 AM »
yesterday morning I was out in the garage and found an old picture frame that was broken so i tried to replace one side. Two double angle cuts, It only took  two mistakes to realize how to do it . It felt good even with destroying 6 feet of lumber. Still shake but gave er a shot. the sanding was the hardest part the damn paper did not stay where i wanted it. lol   bob w.

Nice work Bob! Speaking from stroke experience, doing shop projects is great physical and mental therapy.  You just have to get used to doing things over and over.
