Hi everyone, Just got back from a trip to Reno where I was tutored in the use of the CNC cad program “torch mate, I can’t say enough about these people and this company, Jake, one of the Techs was great, Now it is up to me to practice what I have learned.
hopefully I will be able to post an example soon,

testing out the stove, almost done. I am happy the way it came out, especially the door. I was going to use it for my house but I think It is a little too big so I will make a smaller version. So now to make a “for sale” sign.

testing the stove

Just thought I’d post a picture of a shaker style wood burning stove I am making, Now that it’s getting colder, I am more inspired to finish.

Wishing everyone a happy and prosperous new year, with the emphasize on Happy.

Lucy turned one on Nov. 10th she also turned into a wonderful dog. I have never been happier. she knows when to be gentle. she is playful around all 2 legged and 4 legged beast. She believes all on this earth that walks, crawls, or swims is here for her to play with. And you know, I think she is right.

wood pecker at spider web and spider feeder station

This woodpecker sat here a while before eating. I do think it was being cautious until it realized the spider meant it no harm.

Its been a long time since the last post. I am back creating and working with metal. I will post more pieces later, just thought I would post some pictures of the fun I am having with some scrap and metal I found along the tracks.

the start of another chickadee

I guess I am partial to Chickadees, recently the ones I had found new homes and I just want to have some around. I will post the progress of this one. I plan on doing something different by adding Stainless steel to the head area to see if it will represent its cap  ( black cap chickadee)
