Hi There. First time posting in your thread here. Enjoyed reading through it and seeing all the work that you and your family have down with the various rides. I'm partial to the Corvettes...I'm a lucky son that has the 1960 Corvette that my Dad purchased in 1962 and drove as his daily for...

Thanks for sharing - that was a really interesting to see how the Yard-o-Led pencil was made. Interesting not only to see the tooling, but the craftsmanship involved. Looks like there have been a few pencil tips pressed against that workbench after soldering. It sorta reminded me of watching...

I was wondering the same thing and took a quick spin on the Google and it was discontinued in 2012! Saving those caps for a special occasion. Table looks great - last time I tried a small epoxy pour I messed it up and the epoxy never set right. Remained sticky forever. Thanks for the...

Cool - enjoying your build and look forward to following along - the snow and cold up your way have been a real bummer. My sister is up in Anne Arundel County it's been been a bummer. Even here in Richmond, the extended cold weather has been pretty unusual. The golf sim looks like it's going...

Thanks for the update - love the lego sets. I need to finish the Corvette set that I started a ways back. My son bought me the 911 for Christmas. Need to get that going soon. Good luck with the welding class - that's something that I thought about doing for a while now at the local...

Really love the new shop layout and the attention to detail that you put into all your projects - looks great and thanks for keeping us up to date on your adventures in Da Barn!

Hey all. I am starting to pay more attention to the tools that I have accumulated from my Dad, Grandfather, F-in-law, Grand-F-in-law, etc. I have these 3 pieces that were in a briefcase (yep, briefcase) of various tools that my Dad had in the garage. I'll share more oddities that also came...

Looking forward to following along with this one! The engine test stand looks great! Thanks for sharing!

Wow. ODIS - I can't believe that I haven't stumbled across your thread before. I just wanted to say that your collection of autos is outstanding! I really love your combination of Porsches & Corvettes! From my screen name and avatar, I am a Corvette nut, and very particular about a 1960...

Hi All. My Dad gifted these new-in-box Utica 777-6 pliers to me when I was home for Turkey. He has another pair that he has used for years that are don't have a box. Thought it was pretty neat that they had their original packaging. Hope you enjoy! Randy

Hi Bret. Can't believe I haven't really gone thru your posts until now. I skipped around a bit, but really enjoyed reading about your time with your boys, the cars and the Legos! I have a bit of a Lego love as well - not quite to your level though. Rebuilt some of my Space sets from when I...

Welcome from a fellow VA member, north of Richmond. Look forward to following along. R.

That's really neat - I went to Lehigh and Al's son was a year ahead of me in the Mech E. program. He was heavily involved in Lehigh's Formula SAE program. Also, a machinist that I dealt with a lot in PA was a member of the support team for Holbert's Lowenbrau 962 team - he had some neat signed...

Really nice shop! Looks great. Nice score on the compressor and I'm sure that you'll get a ton of use out of it. Did your varmint control inspector sign-on? Those guys are nice to have around. I've only seen one that size in my yard here in the Richmond VA area - had a nice bump from...

Welcome aboard from a former "PA" guy. I grew up in the South Hills of Pittsburgh. Haven't had it as my address since I left for college in 1993 but it will always be "home." Love the garage space and nicely done with the "Grilzeebo" R.

Hi. I really enjoyed reading through your adventures over the years - the motorcycles adventures, the Volvo updates, and your time out in Idaho have been great to check out. Please continue to share. Take care.

@Bob Heine - yep. You got that right. I still sometimes kick myself for not listening to my Dad when he was encouraging a career path as an orthodontist. I'm a Mechanical Engineer by degree. I saw it in HS when I had braces and then again first hand when my kids were going as well - it...

Hey Gregor...I don't post al that often and have been a follower of your posts for quite some time... I just wanted to reach out and let you know that your have so many people, such as my self, thinking about you and your sister Lara in this challenging time. It *****. We are finding that...

Really neat with the glass-blowers. My wife and I were in Sandwich MA a few years back (ok almost 18 now) and stopped a glass blower that operated out of his own home shop. It was really, really neat to watch him and his wife work together. They met at a conference in Corning NY - he of MA...

Hey Bob. I'm just getting caught up and wanted to share that I am sending positive vibes your way as you conquer the latest challenge. Your drive and determination are like no other! Thanks for keeping us posted on your adventures in Boca. Take care.
