That's good work for anyone let alone an eighth grader. And to still have it even better. I found a great toy box in a thrift store made by a young person in a program like that. We still have those programs here. I know that because it was signed. I added wheels and still have it for my grandchildren.Hey Mark you will have to find some old rusty garden tools to use.
Here is my first and only lathe project I did in 8th grade. When schools still had woodshop, metalshop and auto shop.View attachment 286466
Do you get any satisfaction whacking a cleaver on it??
You sound like you were quite the Tom boy. But a rat! Poor thing.Yep! I have exploded night crawlers, Peeps and a rat once...well, I gotta go feed the birds, buncha box turtles and the cats...gonna let the Sulcata out for the first time since October. It's raining and abt 45 degrees....but they need OUT...and so do I...
Wow.Big torts once roamed here....but, they prob ran out of food or didnt have a proper humid hide!
Oh how sweet.Happy Saturday, yesterday I drove my wheelchair up to the grocery store and got Rose some flowers, card and candy. I got back home before she woke up. She was surprised! It was the only way I could do it because I don't drive our vehicles. With her always driving it is hard for me to surprise her.
Hope everyone has a good weekend!
Poor microwave! But in my defense I was not a stupid youth at the time...I was over 60...You sound like you were quite the Tom boy. But a rat! Poor thing.
It's a dogs life.Here’s some Cinder pics . We have had a good day.. we walked a few of our hills. She got scalped with the furminator, played in the bath, and now relaxation...

Hubby and I don't do V Day as our anniversary is a couple of days later. So I am waiting for my pressie. ?Me neither, Sabine. But then, I don't have a sweetie and Misty can't drive.
Well, I really shouldn't say I got nothing. My son-in-law came over and took my sprayer apart so I could take the battery up to Batteries and Bulbs and get a new one, then he climbed the ladder up to my 37 year old porch light (yes, 37 years old! The label on the photo sensor was stamped 1983) to see why it wouldn't turn off in the daylight, then removed the photo sensor and took it up to Home Depot to see if he could find a replacement, which he did, then he climbed the ladder again and fixed the light! So I guess I DID get a couple pretty nice presents for V day! This allowed me to spray three tanksful of solution on the weeds around the outside of my fence. (I LOVE my sprayer!!!)

You are more than welcime to have some of mine.Sun??? It's 28 degrees right now and just gray as hell and will start raining soon. My trees, grass, house, car and self are green moldy and brown rusty. The Sulcata are not speaking to me any more....I NEED SUN!!!
If they had woodworking classes when I was at school I would have taken them for sure. And yes you are right, it is sad that the youngsters of today are not taught basic skill sets.Very cool. Funny you should bring up shop days of olde. I have a lamp down in the shop that I made in “shop class” back in 7th or 8th grade as well. It combined both basic cutting/shaping metal along with cutting/sanding woodwork. I’ll snap a pix to show you. Thats the problem these days....”youngsters” have no idea how to make the simplest of things or use simple hand/power tools. We see it time and time again here on the Forum - folks w/o a clue how to start to construct a simple wooden enclosure with hinges, a cut out entrance, etc.
Btw - nice holder!
I love Joe's take on it.As far as Valentine's day Joe got stuck somehow. So here's his take on it.View attachment 286489
Oh my word. Hmmm that is not a good defense at all. Why on earth were you microwaving a rat?Poor microwave! But in my defense I was not a stupid youth at the time...I was over 60...
