Radius Turning tool

My new radius turning tool.

I love making tools. I spent a couple hours each Sunday in April working on this.

The setup and cleanup takes more time than the work.

 This will expand my lathe capabilities quite a bit.

Here I am turning a knob for the handle of the tool.

(more soon)

Extreme Makover

Extreme Makeover Home Edition makes a visit to Lincoln County

I have never seen this show, I will probably never watch this show. Somehow watching paint dry isn't my idea of a good time, but a lot of folks are excited to have a TV crew in town.

Last time that I remember was during Hog Happenin' and the Kansas City BBQ contest on the Food Network a few years ago.

New Taste Treat

I was feeling a bit hungry so I grabbed a Granny Smith apple from the fridge sliced it and then noticed a bottle of Glenfiddich on the counter. So I figured what the hell? I dipped an apple slice into the shot glass before eating it and it was a winning combination!

TPBs in Charlotte

Trailer Park Boys: Drunk, High and Unemployed Tour 2011

Had lots of fun in the McGlohon Theater in Charlotte last night, starting at Blue Restaurant where I had a double scotch, and a couple Redhook IPA's. Then walked to McGlohon Theater and talked with those sitting near me about the TPBs and their new projects.  The show was great, with all the mayhem and fun always surrounding the boys.
