What I did during 2008 Woodworkers Safety Week

  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.

    A bad back AND the flu!? I hope you’re all better now and can spend the entire week in your shop. :o)

    VC,

    Can you believe it? I went the entire Winter doing great, but now that the weather is so much better I come down with this bug - ughhh! We are both seeing the doctor this afternoon, as Sandy has also caught some sort of bug.

    Glad to hear that you are feeling better! Spending time with grandchildren can always lift you up; I have 7. My prayers are with Sandy and you.

    Thanks, Don!

    Nothing beat having the 1-year old on your lap, and then the 4-year old asks to sit on your other lap, too. They are precious, and we love them dearly.

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.
