| Hey, what are you doing up at this hour, neighbor! I was just up around your area tonight playing a gig at a place outside of Ottawa!
I made a porch swing from scratch many years ago. My goal was to have a curved seat, curved back, and curved front to the seat. Don't have any pictures, though. Could happen at a later time... No plans in the building of it. Just did it.
Do you have any pictures of the process? |

| HA!!
Trade secrets LOL
I can build from scratch after a few developmental delemas, then its all routine,mass production is my goal.
As far as being up?
MANIC,I am short cycling this time of the year(not rapid cycling,if you understand the lingo)
My sleep habits are eratic at best, but I can deal with it well enough. |

| I work in my woodshop,my own boss so to speak,work is 200 feet from the front door.
I have been a contractor for almost 20 years and recently changed to furniture making and other wood type projects for a living.
You? I heard gig there,what kind of gig? |

| One of the things that I do is that I am a professional musician on a number of instruments and also voice. The gig tonight was on piano with a big band dance band. It was for ballroom style dancing.
I am also a furniture refinisher, handyman, piano tuner/technician, as well as give private music instruction to students in my home on various instruments and voice. I taught in public and private schools in the music type sections for many years.
I really like working with wood. |
