What I did during 2008 Woodworkers Safety Week

Posted in Blog, Safety by Al (Sandal Woods) | 4 Comments
  1. I wish I had been more productive - a bad back and a touch of the flu (or a cold?) made me keep a low profile
  2. Toward the end of the week my back felt better, thanks to wonderful manipulation!
  3. Wrote some stuff for the the blog - I always enjoy writing stuff for the blog
  4. Enjoyed reading others’ safety posts
  5. Liked all posts, except the gory ones - I have this thing about blood, especially if it is mine
  6. Wished I were in the shop <sigh…>
  7. Wished to get back in the shop soon!
  8. Wished I made something!
  9. Spent time with the five granddaughters, which made up for some of the guilt

Here is wishing everyone a safe, successful, and productive rest of the year in the shop! And now, back to the shop, to see if my vertebrae are really in as good shape as I think they are.

About Me

My name is Al Navas, and I live in NW Missouri with my bride of many years. We are both woodworkers who love to be in the shop together, sharing wonderful times. She is a woodturner, and also carves and does pyrography. I do what many call flat work, which includes jewelry boxes to blanket chests; armoires to entertainment centers; church altars to prayer kneelers; custom cabinets to rustic furniture. In our “spare” time in the shop we make toys, bird houses, etc., for our granddaughters. In late 2007 we finished serving as officers for the St Joseph Woodworkers Guild.
