I think it might be that the older we get the more days we forget... makes time appear to move more quickly ROTF :rolleyes:.

I just forget where I put stuff…so I spend more time looking for things and I have less time to get things done! Thus my work time is shorter…like my memory…what was I saying? ROTF
 
Good afternoon, all, I wanted to share what a great morning I had visiting one of our SOS brothers Dean @Dean62. Dean showed me his shipyard/hanger room and his awesome 1:72 war plane collection which in person is even more impressive. Dean had some bloodwood and pear strips, and I have a Microlux tabletop saw so he traded some of the bloodwood strips for the use of my saw. Everything worked great on the bloodwood, but my old blade got hot and wore out when we tried cutting on the pearwood so I will get replacements. He and I will get together again soon at my home when I get replacement blades and finish our strip cutting of his pear stock. Here is the two of us in his garage.

It was great to spend some time talking models and techniques and cutting wood planks. I’m sure the bloodwood will look great on your ship. ;) And I look forward to seeing your shipyard and getting some pear wood cut!
Ps - notice the sweat on my shirt, Texas heat was in full stride today!
