I REALLY need a workshop of some sort. I would love to be able to make this stuff, but I have literally no place to do it.

Actually! I do have something I helped build. It's crude and it's purpose is to get oneself drunk, but I helped build it, and it has stood up to some pretty harsh conditions.

It's an ice luge stand! We made it so you can put the ice luge block on the plywood, and use the handles to pick up and set the block on the luge stand without much problem. It's also at a decent height so you don't have to kneel to do the shot, angled so the shot flies down the luge, and the pourer has somewhere to stand on the back for ease of pouring. It's withstood the last four years of drinking and partying, and is in generally the same working order today, despite spending many many months outside in the PA weather.

That's me standing next to it about 4 years ago, so please excuse the corny thumb ring/livestong bracelet/cellphone-on-belt style.

Also, I helped clear the land for my parents house (chainsaw!) along with all of the framing and roofing on the house itself. We let the electrical/plumbing/drywall to the contractors.

I even ran some electrical in my dad's garage a while back. I don't have pictures of their house though, so....

You must have a huge refrigerator to make ice cubes like that, no wonder you
have no space left

You can buy ice blocks like that! I think that one ran us $40 from Captain Shady's Back-Alley Trailer Ice House.

I don't have any space because I'm one of the poor suckers who lives in an apartment. I hope to change that next year, but there's no telling whether or not that will actually happen.

I can turn this, into that...

Are you willing to sell any of your scales?

As you know that is the definition of Navy Coffee which I love sooo much but I do have a taste for some of the better things also.

Chief

I can make coffee, too...and I can make my wife and kids laugh, but that's about it. I did re-roof my house by myself with 40-year, laminated asphalt shingles, but I don't recommend that to anyone. My knees hurt for three weeks after that.

Now that I think about it, I'm fairly decent with a pottery wheel, but I haven't had access to either a wheel or a kiln since '95, and most of my really nice stuff I gave away to friends.

Hey Wildtim, what's that pistol in the belt-slide holster? I've been scratching my head on that one.

Its a Makarov!!!! in 9mm Makarov caliber.
