Sailordad,
i wouldnt call it progress but i got the courage to go ahead and try agian... see when i got the pecan board it was a ruff cut maybe some thing like 6-8" wide by 2" thick and 9-10' long... in the ruff... i took it to a wood mill shop and had them rip it for me... i tried serveral differant cuts and sizes and had a bucnh just break up and crack... and i got real fustrated and then i glued up a couple of blanks with some f/g sheet from auto repair inbetween the board and backing to help hold it togather... and backing still splintered and then i sanded backing down and reglued another backing and did all kinds of wierd stuff just to get one finised and i finally did... but i gave that one to my cousin... and he has it and loves it but will hardly ever shoot it... lol...
anyways since then i have treid several differant things like some osage staves that i have been triey to harvest and let dry for a couple of months and then try and work and have had those not turn out and soo i'm goin to go back to trying the pecan... but this time im going to try and do a tiller stand and long string and try and do it right... all the other i was just steping on the string and pulling the baord up towards me while bending over to look at tille upside down.... lol... kind of like a nucklehead...huh...
this time i'm going to try and see if i can do thngs right and take my time... probably wont get to much time to work on things.... i have to build a couple of other projects promissed to some other people
and im probably going to be real busy at work since the boss just told me that he was going to be fire'ing a forman and i was going to have to run his job till its finished...
... but that will be done about a wk and wk-end..
so it'l be hectic for me for a while and not to mention i do a little personal security for a couple of celebraties and they are supposed to be flying me to L.A. for the Grammy's but i dont know if i'm still going to do that..yet...
im supposed to be real busy on the personal security next month and i had already told my boss on my construction job... that i would be out for most of feb... they are real cool and let me get time off to do celebraty security... just because they think its cool...
aahh the advantages of working for your uncle...
sometime my life gets pretty hectic... and you could say i live a double lives and or even triple lives from jumping back and forth from construction worker to bodyguard to youth group coach... man it sometimes gets to me...
but keeping busy really helps the head-achs and nightmares... lol...
anyways i really got off topic here...
sorry folks... just got alot on my mind at times....
