Thanks Glenn,
So far they're selling pretty well, though I'm not going to retire on the proceeds. I'm working on a kickstarter campaign for some new tools and lumber (and getting my shop name out there...) I'm working on finding the balance between my night job, sleep and shop time. Lori does the marketing, I do the making.

“ Not enough to retire on the proceeds ”, True ,but we found in the Arts , it was a matter of selling many little things to pay the bills ... The Big jobs were much appreciated but it was the little things that generated the steady coin. (allowing me to retire ) ;)

Thanks Mel, working on it! took a break to adjust the blood level in my caffeine system..
I'm currently ripping boards down so later this week I can glue up a couple of dozen board blanks. My goal is to have 150 boards in stock by the end of the month.

My aveo may be totaled. A driver tried to sneak through 2 lanes of traffic... Made it through one , but only to block my lane.

So thankful you are okay! Rest and get better. Epsom salts will help ease the soreness. 1 cup or so in a hot tub of water and soak for 20 minutes. Keep fuilds up too. :)

try soaking a hand towel in the Epsom salt mixture and putting it on the sore areas. That might work too.

GPW,
I've had that buggy for just about a year now... a really busy year... 80,000 miles worth of driving. I'm already eyeing a replacement. If all of the stars align, I want to get a diesel VW, either passat or jetta Wagon. I have a line on a couple of them in my expected price range. Just have to line up the financing if they total it.

karen,
thanks! I just 'tensed up' as I slid into the other car... it could have been much much worse.
