My best work ever...

[Alex Elias]

Male version that is.
The first two pictures, Sofia and I are working on the drawers for Sebastian's chest of drawers.

This past Friday the 11th Sebastian was born. We had a very long weekend and today we got out of the hospital. The wife and Sebastian are great. He was born at 10.11 pounds and 23 inches (I need to rund a DNA test; too big to be mine...) :D

Sorry for all the pictures, but you know how it is. Now I should be back to semi normal activities with the lathe.

PS: Does anyone have a spare cow that can lend me for a while? This kid eats every hour.

[Barry Elder]

Blessings to you and your family! God is Great!!!

Congratulations. My daughter 'helps' the same way yours does. It makes doing anything take 10x as long as if I were alone...I wouldn't have it any other way.

[Tom Sherman]

Congratulations to you and your family Alex. Lots of work to be done now and it's just starting.

[jeremy levine]

Congrats all around and G_d bless the C-section. You don't need a DNA test just give him a hammer and see if he swings it.:)

[Paul Douglass]

Beautiful child for sure and so is the little girl. Congratulation to you and Mom. Hope all are well.

[Don Orr]

Congratulations all around !! He's definitely a keeper. Looks like you have a couple of shop mates in the works.

All the best,

[Dan Carroll]

When our son was born, he was 10 lbs, 3 oz and looked like he was three months old next to all the 'normal' sized kids in the nursery. Almost 18 yeras later, he is still big. Based on experience, you will need at least a small dairy farm and a herd of beef. God I am glad he is going away to college this fall -- our food bill should drop at least $250. a week.

[Ben Gastfriend]

Congratulations, Alex!

[Alex Elias]

Thank you all for you nice comments and wishes. So far we are enjoiyng this a lot not much sleep but having fun.

[Jim Becker]

Congratulations!

[Chris Yarish]

......you made that on the lathe?

[Skip Spaulding]

A couple of great looking future turners! Congratulations to Mom, Dad and Big Sister.

[Richard Madison]

And the lathe wasn't even running at the time. Nice form and finish! Best looking one of those I have seen. Very skillful work by you and your adult assistant.

[Allen Neighbors]

Congratulations on the new addition... :)
Question: How do you get 'em to be born two months old. :D Beautiful Son!!!!

[Brian Kent]

Truly a couple of masterpieces!
Your best woodworking will never even come close.
Congratulations!


I would recommend Watco Danish Wood Oil for a natural finish:D.

[Dennis Hatchett]

Congratulations! I am always looking for the angle to improve the shop so I guess that makes me more shallow that all these other decent human beings.

As I see it, Now is the perfect time to explain to your wife that a Trend Airshield could make diaper changes a more pleasant experience. Just spray a little perfume on the filter and you have full dust and odor protection.

In a tight economy we must play all the angles to reach the goal of the perfect shop.

That is a good one there. I got the shield already I need to think of something else. I'd like a new table saw but I'll have a hard time explaining that one. (Changing station table?)

[Glenn Hodges]

Congratulations on such a fine looking lad.
