Just Curious:-)

At 4:35pm on January 16, 2011, ray vile said…: Hi there Tomboy

yeah its a woodworking injury I was cutting panels for some cabinet doors I'm making and the panel came flying out of my table saw and got me right in the left index finger, clear to the bone, the dr said I was lucky that I didn't cut a tendon, I cut the sheath that covers the tendon but not the tendon itself, 15 stitches a broken watch band and a bent saw blade. I consider myself extremly lucky.

Thanks for you concern

At 1:04pm on February 20, 2011, Jay Boutwell said…: Hello Ray and Thank you for a very nice complement. This is definately a "one of a Kind" you know the type where the customer comes in gives you some numbers for the sizes and says "12 drawers" and make it out of alder and leaves. You get nervous but start building without any plans and finally it comes together. Looking at your displayed photos, you have some pretty impressive projects as well. I noted that you do not specialize in any one certain thing but in many. Now that takes talent, patience and a defiante love for woodworking. Nice conversing with you, and again thank you for a nice comment. Now I got to go dust off my radio ha ha ha lol

At 1:26pm on February 20, 2011, Jay Boutwell said…: Hello Ray, I am honored for the invite. I know your knowledge will give me much insite into the art of woodworking. I have viewed you posted photos and I am impressed. I definately like the assortment of creative projects. You are definately very talented and know what you are doing. Perhaps I can be of some help to you as well, I would like to pass on some of my ideas that I have learned from my 20 plus years of getting cuts scrapes splinters and making saw dust.
