    Prayers Requested

    Two weeks ago, my wife of 45 years was diagnosed with breast cancer. It is small, BUT, it is the C word and that is scary as heck to her and to myself. It was caught early and surgery is scheduled for Tues the 29th. Prayers for her would be appreciated. Right now I am hanging onto Romans...

    Dogs & Lyme disease

    Keith, Don't try to take on the burden of thinking it was somehow your fault. Things happen for a reason, we do not always know why and may never know. In 2009, I lost my business of 23 years, my heart was broken as I had around 15 employees with families. I no sooner started staying home...

    Dogs & Lyme disease

    Keith, That is bad news, over my married life span I have had to put down at least 7 dogs, none were ever easy and certainly not forgotten. I am sorry to hear of the loss of your best friend. Jim

    hidden tang glue-up fixture

    Nick, Great looking work, is that hammered paint or powder coating on the fixtures? Also, on the swivels heads to avoid pressure marks on the end of the handles, could you not use a felt stick-on furniture slide ? They sell them at most Lowes or Home depots in different diameters...

    Great Smoky Mountains picture thread

    Do NOT go to SMKW without visiting the museum upstairs, absolutely worth your time, in the basement is a gift shop for the ladies, lots of kitchen gadgets. My wife loves to go there just for the downstairs, I can do 3 floors of knives before she finishes the shop. Have a great time, Jim

    What brand machine do you run, also what sizes? 5''/ 6'' ? I was in the manufacturing business of parts for that industry for 23 years, if you ever need a contact or great sources of parts, holler. I still remember the good wholesalers. Jim

    What do you do for a living

    What do I do? Good question. Really depends on who you ask? Ask my wife of 45 years and she will say nothing. Ask my children and they say I fix what their husbands repaired. Ask my 7 grandchildren and they will tell you I am the best chauffeur in the town. Ask me, Jack of all trades and...
