Shed sign...

[RodKirby]

...from Woodcraft. Beautiful Cherry, beautifully finished (by them).

I thought the saw blade on the right was somehow appropriate

1959 because that was the year I made my first (Jarrah) bench.

Beautiful. But what I want to know is details on that Texas plaque on the wall under it...

[crokett]

The Texas plaque is from when Rod met some of the BT3Kers from Texas. He and his wife were in the US doing some travel.

Not trying to steal his thunder, just testing my powers of recall.

me and Pappy and Don, Houston are on that picture plus a few others.

It was taken at the Rockler on Southwest Freeway.

Pappy made it for him. I got a genuine Kirby Microadjuster from downunder.

Nice looking sign. Just thinking it took you 50 years before you lost part of a thumb, should make all of us use our brain a little, when we think we know what we're doing.

Yup - Organized by Loring 2004! Carole was "doing" the Houston International Quilt Festival (Exhibition?).

The guys really looked after me

Sorry I wasn't on BT3Central yet... But 2004 wasn't exactly a stellar year for me anyway...

If you decide to drop in again, I'll have to whip up some Texas BBQ for you and get as many Texas members together as we can...

[Pappy]

Good looking sign, Rod. Where is the original shed sign now?

DB, the plaque/frame is Spalted Hackberry with a Mesquite shadow trim.

2004? It was that long ago? Wow!

[Uncle Cracker]

Shouldn't you now call it your "Blood Shed"??

[LCHIEN]

hey Rod, the THINK sign needs to go back up. At least, I can't see it from here... and it doesn't appear to be working full strength... Didn't thomas Watson give it to you personally?

[JoeyGee]

I definitely give that sign one and a half thmbs up...

[RodKirby]

It's been "retired" - originally sent to me by "Rainshadow" back in 2001.

Ha! It's actually under the the screwdriver blades - the tops of which you can see in the pic. Yeah, I guess it should have been more prominent
