What Did You Do Today?
YosemiteBen:
well, the week of June 3rd I was in a historic log and wood preservation class. Got to put into practice skills I knew of but have never used. Got to use a wide variety of axes, slicks, chisels, screw jacks. Learned how to replace crowns on log cabins, hewed some logs, cut notches and other preservation techniques. It was a good time meeting new folks too.

I saw my first tomato horn worm damage yesterday; I couldn't find the worm but I have a surprise for it tonight when I get out my UV light and look over my tomato plants.
For those of you who don't know, a UV light makes the horn worms glow like a lime green glow stick after dark and are very easy to find or so I thought.
I found the worn that did the damage, it was a darker color variant and didn't glow under the UV light, this is the first one I have ever seen with this coloration and hope it is the last.

I haunt the Facebook market place, every now and then a particularly good deal comes up that I have to jump on. I bought a Griz hobby lathe, I picked up a $9 set of Chinese lathe chisels that were probably not worth what I paid for them to use until I got something better, that was 15 years ago.
Saturday a guy put the three craftsman chisels on the market place for $10 which is a good deal, I told him I would take them. As I was headed to pick them up, he said he had more lathe chisels if I wanted them, this set was Great Neck, American made as well. I bought all the chisels for $20.
When I got them home and looked over them closely, I found that they were new under the light rust and had never been sharpened.

Hi,
At the moment I`m working on a few Osage bows. Short ones, plains style.
Will see, whatthey`ll be.
Cheers Uwe
