Popular Post thatCharlieDude Posted December 22, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 I finished a couple of christmas gifts today. Both have purpleheart and western cedar handles. I haven't worked with segmented blanks before so this was a fun project. Both gifts are for my kids, my daughter like purpleheart and my son cedar so one wood for her and one for him. My wife asked why would I make our son a shoe horn and I told her every man needs a shoe horn for his dress shoes. Besides, this one is much nicer than the cheap plastic one he keeps stealing from me. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if I could just get him to pick up his shoes and put them on the shelf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad would give me a second warning to pick up my room then the next time I got home everything would be gone off the floor and it might be weeks before it mysteriously reappeared in a pile on my bed. One time after 2 warnings to make my bed I got home late (& tipsy) to find my bed was GONE. Slept in the beanbag chair and found pieces of the bed and frame hidden all over the house the next day. I learned quick to keep things presentable. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jfitz Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 I love it. when my wife was a teen, all her bedding was thrown out the window into the yard. It certainly made an impression 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No kids, but once I hit my teens I just lived in a small cabin next to the main house. I could keep it how I wanted, and the parent's didn't have to deal with any mess or noises. It was a nearly perfect setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
