All these things require my undivided attention. If I had music to listen to, I would never get anything done at all.

I think I've just had an epiphany.

Yes but that assumes that listening to music is not getting anything done. It is an end unto itself. In fact, I like to do a bit of haphazard woodworking to fill in time whilst listening to music.

And still the answers come.... my sharpening is rather haphazard, and always under the same circumstances!

I like to introduce an element of randomness to everything I do. A bit like Pro Hart firing a shotgun loaded with paint at a bit of canvas. Why should sharpening be any different? Next time you're sharpening a chisel, try looking the other way at crucial times, like when you are setting your jig angle. Never a dull moment.

And still the pun master I see Darren.
Does this randomness apply to toilet paper folding and reusing as well?

Actually that's a double entendre, Jim

Since I'm an afirmed scruncher, I wouldn't know about that

Sorry to hear about your accident Jim, Pain is the pits.

But don't listen to these weakies on here, why stay outa your shed?

Think Positively
Its not a setback,
Its an opportunity

Theres lots of things you can make or do sitting down.

e.g. buy a set of carving chisels.

Spend a coupla days online researching wood carving.

Then sit down in your shed and teach yourself carving.

By the time you get back to work you could have another skill.

By focussing on something else the pain won't be as noticeable.

With all that said, I'm glad its not my opportunity

[bitingmidge]

... and while you're on your back, why not give the car a grease and oil change?

Cheers,

That looks an interesting book Al, what did it cost?

Oh Midge,

I'm in enough pain without the flogging she'd give me for looking at a book with a cover like that.
I might carve a handle for the adze that has appeared out of the mess I call a shed. Any plans, suggestions shapes etc?
Probably shouldn't ask you Al it might end up looking like the twig of Orgasmo and I seem to have attracted the curse associated with that already.

I think I paid about $30 for it, i got it off epay.

Just saw this. Bad luck! They can be cantankerous buggers, ladders, deserving of respect. I hope your ankle comes good quickly, it must be a real dampener on all sorts of activities.

[TEEJAY]

Argh Jim,

Thanks for your reply on the stapler issue. I have been away on holidays for a while and when I saw your signature and teddybear I had to track down your disaster - mate no good at all. :eek:

I tell you what though if you are still interested in some no risk woodwork whilst sitting down I highly recommend scrollsawing - just a thought .

[Driver]

Jim, mate!

I missed your original post on this and I've only just now tracked down the reason for your bandaged avatar.

That is bloody bad luck. Sounds very painful and is, no doubt, very inconvenient.

Get well soon, son! And while you're sitting there with your elevated lower limb, let your imagination wander and develop the plot lines in the RITFOTU. Anchors aweigh!

Pip-pip!
