Dobie! not cool, lolOr Dobie Gillis!
Me, my name is Dennis Mitchell...! Yeah, more than a few fights growing up!
My middle name is Duane, named after Duane Eddy, but that part never caught on.
Now, Dennis Mitchell what was your mom thinking! 
No April Fool's joke here, folks...I pulled a bonehead stunt yesterday. After returning from my travels and procuring a few things needed for a couple of projects, I started on one. This required the use of a drill press and a small piece of brass sheeting. I was in a hurry and knew better but, I held the brass piece with my fingers and started to drill. The bit caught in the soft brass and spun it into my finger.Lots of blood and pain. So I'm telling you, you can teach an old dog new tricks. It hurts, in several ways, to type this...

Glad to see your finger is still there at least, hope it heals fast 
I'm glad you got your Ironwood Sample back, and looking so good.
I'm carrying mine today, no joke!
Same here. Last weekend, I actually stepped on a rake and the handle came up and hit me in the face. Just like in the cartoons!
Just having a little fun on April 1st with a spare blade. No fooling Jack though.
The second picture is definitely legit. Jack, do they still make "Bird's Custard"?

Great pics THey do still make it, I could send you some, but the ingredients are very basic, I think it's mainly colouring, vanilla extract, and cornflower Doesn't that really tick you off when in your head its says don't do it that way, but you go ahead and do it anyway.
I did a number with a chainsaw on my leg by not listening to my common sense mind controller.
I put them out, and then did the same thing again! Glad you got both of them back!
Must be something about the musical aspect, Jer. I was trying to fabricate a tip plate for a violin bow. I had to cut the 'rectrianglar', hole for the bow hair. Didn't have a jeweler's saw so used the drill press. Drilled the small holes, no problem, but, the larger bit, bit into the brass and spun it around.
My parents were going to call me Tom then they changed it to David after the actor David Niven. Sure lucky Gilligan wasn't a big star back then.
I once knew a family who liked the name Dave so much, they named two of their kids Dave! Or Dobie Gillis!
Me, my name is Dennis Mitchell...! Yeah, more than a few fights growing up!
My middle name is Duane, named after Duane Eddy, but that part never caught on.
Thanks Dennis. Here's another shot. Gonna make a planter out of it. View attachment 1103080 Dennis Mitchell..... I like that
Don't like to be long without this one:
Have a Terrific Tuesday, Guardians!
Have a good day folks 
Many years ago, after a few afternoon drinks, I once decided to flambe some steak. Tipping way too much booze into the hot pan, I had flames shooting up to the ceiling!
Whew! you were a lucky feller on that one. That reminds me of the Bob Newhart show. there was a character called Larry who had two brothers Darryl and Darryl.LOL!
Have a Great day JackMorning Guardians, the weather is rubbish here today, which scuppers some of my plans, but I have a busy day, with lots of Lambsfoot content. Got Lucy in my pocket for now
That reminds me of the Bob Newhart show. there was a character called Daryl who had two bothers also called Daryl.
Have a Great day Jack
It holds sometimes though Fortunately, with the Daves, there was a 10 year (or so) age gap at least, so they were known as Big Dave and Little Dave! Hope you have a good one yourself 
There should be a nice bruise along with the laceration-yowch.Must be something about the musical aspect, Jer. I was trying to fabricate a tip plate for a violin bow.

Thank you, JoséNice picture Dave, spring is here...
Good Morning JohnGood Morning Guardians... I've been totin' "Mr. Pointy" for three days straight.
Buffy would be proud.
Hey Jer!
screened porch
You're much further along with the uke building than I am. I've got all the wood and some fret wire, going the tapered peg tuner route. I'm waiting for warmer weather in the workshop to get started.
pjsjr
Nope, not for strings. Heal quickly brother.
Thanks, Jack, it was a painful experience...but, no Lambsfoot was harmedYikes Preston!
Thank you very much Rachel, stunning pic
Ouch!
Are you going to let us see it?
I thought it very cleverly done my friend

Thanks Preston
Thank you Dennis
Your Lambsfoot is looking good at least Preston
LOL!
Someone is going to have me who the OTHER Dennis Mitchell is!
I sure wish at least one set of parents hadn't named their short, plump offspring after ME!
That's your knife Vince

I do remember that show, he was a talented, funny man but I watched it for Susan Pleshette(RIP).
That reminds me of the Bob Newhart show. there was a character called Daryl who had two bothers also called Daryl.
What an outstanding photo, Jose, just striking!Another picture of my Guardians 19...
Yes to the bruise, a dandy one...at my age any small, light bump will show! Yeah that would work well in place of a drill press. The results in my case would have been the sameThere should be a nice bruise along with the laceration-yowch.
I entirely forgot I had this contraption, even though I knew right where it was. It might have worked.
Oh well, "We ain't building peeannies", as a mentor of mine used to say.
I ain't building pianos anyway. It looks like you have less room for error than I do.
Nice assortment of tools, Jer, I want to see the results of your efforts!I can get away with this because that's a lambsfoot on the right. I finally cut the slot in the bridge to take the saddle.
John, I'm sure she used a Lambsfoot to sharpen that stake!Good Morning Guardians... I've been totin' "Mr. Pointy" for three days straight.
Thanks, Dwight, a good morning to you too! The Ironwood Lambsfoot is looking stellar in that great photo!
Still a bit of snow on the ground here, Dave, but, the weather is acting like spring...clam sunny mornings, then in the afternoon, the clouds roll in and the wind blows,maybe a bit of rain or snow.
Michael, you should let me borrow your nameView attachment 1103193 Hey Jer!
Bonus points: does anyone know what the small bronze tool is used for?
Michael
. Is that tool used as a spacer for string placement?
Thanks, Dave.Buffy would be proud.
I would think that Giles was a Lambsfoot man for sure.John, I'm sure she used a Lambsfoot to sharpen that stake!
