Well - it looks like I've found my way back home. It's been a while
guys and gals. I thought that perhaps the "Subject Line" might perk up
a few old sets of eyes. I'm still in contact with a few of my old
woodbashers out there - (Hey there Nahmie!) ;-) I've been in Vegas
now for almost 2 years. A few of you out there may remember Harvey
Klene - a great friend who gave me some assistance a couple of years
ago and got me out here. What a shop he built! The envy of anything
I've ever seen.
I'm a project manager for a very large plumbing contractor out here and
the construction is phenominal! Las Vegas is growing by leaps and
bounds. It's also a great place to live as well. My life has come
full circle and things cannot be better. The money is great, the
living is great, and I've actually been given a new start in life.
I actually built a hinged top coffee table - still no major tools, but
with a cabinet scraper, a good circ saw I kept, an actual handplane or
two, old Jummy used oak. That's right boys and girls . . . OAK. I
know it was against my better judgement but I did it anyway. Please
keep in mind that the Minwax was still there! LOL!
Just dropped in to say hello and hope everyone is doing great.
Take care.

Welcome back.
I just milled up some Jummy for a door casing. Hard to explain the look on
the guys face when you ask for clear Jummy stock.

I sure know what it is!
I sure miss some of the "old" wood dorkers that were here a few years back!

Much of a call for custom humidors in Las Vegas?
Glad to hear that things have settled down and
life's treating you well, or at least well enough
to start using oak (who'd believe it would ever
happen!)
So having moved from humid heat to dry heat, does
dry heat really feel cooler than humid heat?
At this rate, Black Sheep should show up this
time next year followed by O'Dean (sp?)

Would you believe that I just opened up a Jummy flavor air freshener?

Moab, Utah a few years ago was 108 at noon and felt like 80 in Houston.

Yeah dry heat does feel cooler than humid heat. Your sweat actually
evaporates.

I can absolutely attest to that fact. I spent 17 years in Dallas; during
the summer, when it was hot (over 90 to 100F), it was absolutely miserable.
The only thing a fan in the shop did was increase the blast furnace effect,
just blowing more hot air on the victim. Have spent the last 7 years in
Tucson. When it is hot (100 to 105), I can turn a fan on in the shop, open
the windows, get the air circulating and work with little discomfort. When
the "monsoon" hits around July, the humidity goes up and the fan is no
longer effective, that's when I turn on the AC. The other difference I've
noticed here is that a number of places have awnings or other coverings up
between buildings -- walking under the shade makes a huge difference. In
Dallas (and I'm sure it's even worse in higher humidity places like
Houston), a shade makes just about zero difference when it's hot out -- you
walk outside and are floored by the stifling heat whether you are under
cover or not, it's still really hot, sticky, and uncomfortable.

Old Jummy Wood is the wood that's good
It's the wood we'd all use if we could
Jummy tried to tell us but was misunderstood
So he moved far away
