Thank-you all for your welcomes and hugs. My daughter remarried a year ago to a wonderful man who lost his wife to cancer. They now have 10 children together and we live in a cottage on their property after selling our house, so I have lots of company! LOL! They love to be in my shop with me and I just picked up some fairy houses for them to build. I will post those when they are done. Glad to see familiar names and faces here.
Just stopping by for a quick visit! After the death of our son-in-law, we are very slowly getting back to normal. Moved three times in the last two years and am working on organizing a new shop. Hope to be back sharing with all of you. The Steampunk Summerhouse is still the same but will soon be back on the bench being worked on. The forum has sure changed, had to figure out how to post!
Bill will be bicycling across America in support of our law enforcement, firemen, and military. Over 4000 miles. If you go back to the first few posts, you get the background story. I'll be the support crew!
A big welcome to all of you checking in and coming back! I might not be around much this summer as we will be doing TwiceAcrossAmerica.blogspot.com. Less than two weeks to go! Will miss you all!
So glad you tried Holly's boiling water method instead of the microwave. When I put one of mine in the microwave, it started on fire! Your new kitchen cabinets look great!
Mike on here from the UK builds fantastic entertainment centers and uses old phones that still work for televisions. Maybe something like that would work for your screen.
What if you gave her a large framed picture of it first to see her reaction? Bring the shadowbox with you, and if the reaction is not positive, just bring it back home with you.
Just got this in my email box this morning and remembering discussions about making toilets, I thought it might come in handy for someone.

When I wanted rivets on my Steampunk Summerhouse, I glued on flat backed crystals and painted over them. Like this....Well, can't seem to get the attachment on here...it's in my Steampunk album, page 3 I think.
