This is the first time in my 30 years of teaching school that we haven't gotten out at least one day for snow. We have had a ton of rain this winter but zero snow.

Good eyes Don. He is an EM and is a sub vol. And thanks.

Luke made it through the Navy's nuclear power school. I'm one proud papa.

I'm about to mill a walnut log I've had for a few years into bowl blanks and I'm going to try and sale a few. I think the biggest I'll be able to get is maybe 10 x 10. They will mostly be 6x6 and 8x8 by 3 to 4 in thick. My question is if you were purchasing bowl blanks would you rather have...

They are small so I was worried about the pull if I only used one and a piece of metal. If they would've been bigger I'd have used a nail or screw. I did the second time what I should have done the first. I stuck the mags together then shut the lid and pushed the other one into the hole...

Well, the acetone did soften the CA glue but not enough to get the magnet out. I tried a punch with the hopes of cracking it and maybe digging it out but I didn't have any luck. Then I tried drilling it with the plan of screwing a screw in and pulling it out. No luck, apparently neodymium...

I'm making a box. I decided to use two small rare earth magnets (around 3/16) as a "latch" between the top and the base. Being the knuckle head that I am I CA'd one of them in backwards. How would you get one of them out so you can flip it around? I was going to try acetone first. The hole is...

Thanks Don, I'll definitely pass on the words of encouragement.

Well Luke made it through the first part of becoming a Navy Nuke. He graduated from A school yesterday. Here's EMN3 Daugherty. I'm proud as heck of him.

I like the pull out shelf idea. I have a metal cabinet like that and no telling what's in the back!

That's great news. Luke said to wait and come down till he can have his car. It'll be sometime in July before we can go down.

That's great! I'm hoping we will be able to go see Luke sometime after 7/4.

He's in the nuke program. His actual rate is electrician mate nuclear.

Luke joined the Navy! He made it through basic and is now in A school. He's overcome a lot of obstacles to get to this point. Words can't describe how proud I am of him.

I need your help! I've made it to the semifinals over at horton brasses in their yearly competition. If you don't mind and are on the instagram and the facebook would you mind easing over and casting a vote. This one looks like it's going to be a tight one. They spelled my last name wrong...
