I used to have sections each semester of "Concepts in Mathematics," which was a math survey course intended for nursing majors. I feel your pain!

What do you normally teach?

My bread and butter is rhetoric (writing and speech), but I also teach logic (formal and informal) and humanities (a "great books" style humanities program).

My Wooden Wednesday carry

 

[Sacto]

Wow! I fell about five pages behind here, so had some catching up to do. Instead of keeping up yesterday, I fired up the propane heater, and made something in my garage/woodshop.
One of the fun parts of building a guitar is making your own jigs, tools, and templates.
If I were to buy them, I couldn’t afford this hobby.
Fret wire comes in a tube like this:View attachment 1715155It has to be bent to match the fingerboard radius, so I made this fret bender out of closet door wheels. The top wheel is mounted in a slot so I can adjust the radius.View attachment 1715156
And today, which is Woodnesday, I’ve got this Taylor’s Eye Witness Lambfoot along with this unusual Ulster Electrician. The butt end is fat and rounded, which makes for a comfy grip as a screwdriver.View attachment 1715157

Very clever bending jig you devised, Jeff. I’m looking forward to seeing the end product. I started making a guitar in college when I had access to all the tools at the Craft Center. I finished college before I finished the guitar, so 20-some years later it sits in my closet unfinished. Great pair of knives, too.

View attachment 1715162Over on the Mr CC SFO thread the exquisite jigging GEC did for Charlie is being discussed. I posted this photo of two of GEC’s finest jigging earlier this am but I’m still drinking the espresso and fiddling with this 15 and 48, so here it is again.

Those diamond jacks are so cool. There was another one on here the other day also.

Today’s carry, at home quarantined.

I’m doing the same this week. Hope it’s not too serious for you and your family.

Finally getting around to putting SWMBO's small collection into the Database so as to keep all of the GEC knives close together in it .

Carrying these 2 today


Harry

I like the Barlows. I’ve never carried 2 of the same knife before. Then again, I don’t think I’ve owned 2 of the same knife before.

So far so good! Thanks, and you too!

Very nice photo Jim, those are beautiful covers.

Thanks, Todd — the Bloodwood covers really are nice. And, glad you liked the photo!

I’m staying at home this week since my daughter has covid (she’s fine, just trying not to contribute to spread). I was messing around with this Colonial electrician today, among others.

Gary, John, and Todd, pay no attention to the background.

 

[Old Engineer]

Wow! With that collection, maybe Nancy should be posting in this thread.

Thanks Jeff , but she never carries any of them .

LOL! My "add to cart" finger is awfully itchy!

These two are on deck for tomorrow.

Seeing all of those cool, small fixed blades you carry all the time is one of the things that makes me want to carry one more.

Hoping the best for both of you and your families, hang in there!

Too late!

Thanks, Todd. Luckily it’s been pretty mild so far.

I hate not having one with me! They grow on ya! I'm sure I'll be adding one of those Brook Trouts!

Part of Thursday carry

Thanks, Dave! Re: guitars and knives~ as my wife would say, “Don’t encourage him!”

She’ll never forget the time you focused on her.

LOL, 2 great hobbies, oh am I encouraging again

Thanks a lot Dave

Saw someone posted one like this for sale the other day and it inspired me to carry mine. Great slim and very capable cutter

I saw that one too, really had serious regrets not picking it up, looks great!

An Eland accompanies while I explore an uninhabitable, abandoned three bedroom property I acquired at property tax auction for $500.
Soon to be bulldozed away, as it is a health hazard filled with vermin and nocuous mold.
Built in 1940, many of all stripes have come and gone but none will EVER live here again.
Clearing the lot allows me to expand my homestead, garden and sanctuary. Amen

First thing I thought was, if that house could talk. Glad the property went to someone who appreciates it. the Eland somehow looks very appropriate there Edit to add, thanks for sharing the NYKC scout. So nice!!!

I forgot how nice that old friend T.A. Davison is!!!

Do you use the TEW on the fret slots cause I heard they might be hard to do?

I carry a couple of canoes every week. This week both are Rough Riders. One is a smooth tobacco bone model, the other is a smooth white bone model that was originally mundane, but with some @r8shell magic became magnificent!

I also carry a couple of stockman knives each week, one a sowbelly and one a "regular" stockman. This week my sowbelly is a Rough Rider stag model, and my regular stockman is a 34OT (thanks, Dave):

This one is really great to fidget with, been really liking it since I got it.
