Might be a while, until the next project....
Due to a fall a while back....right knee is messed up enough that even Rust Hunting has been halted...let alone going down the stairs into the shop...Meeting with the "Knee Doctor" on the 31st to see how he intends to fix it. Am walking with a cane, and NOT very well at that....Will advise what I find out....

Sorry you are hurt. While needing the cane …. don’t try to do any of Fred Astaire’s cane dancing ! But seeing them on you tube is good
for you !

Take it easy. I hope it goes well for you on the 31st.
Please help support the Creek.

Good luck kind sir. I carved three spoons as a beginner and decided I will carve my fourth when I am confined to a wheelchair. Not that your knee can't be fixed, just if you are non weight bearing for a little while... Good luck and best wishes.

I had read at some point someone had a similar trouble, they took up carving on the couch.
Hopefully things get better

Some other folks around here will have to up their production substantially to fill the need for entertaining content. We should give a little back to entertain you as you convalesce. But I hope you are back in the Dungeon soon.

Get well soon Steven.

Hi Steven,
Sorry to hear that your knee is bummed up for now. Take it easy until you see the doc, and in the meantime keep us informed when you find anything out. +1 on get well soon.

50/50 chance on the Big Show......Knee brace is back on, getting the ice-packs chilled down. Possible tear in the back of the knee....large blood clot IN the knee making it a bit...fat...about twice the size of the Left knee...PT starts tomorrow morning...no surgery until AFTER the Blood Thinners have ended....Been a busy day....I'm on Chair Parade until PT starts up....

You can call it NCB, Newman Classic Builds. Just like the TV show that has some really old great shows. I remember the one A River Runs Through It, Steven’s shop that is. Hope you don’t get hung up for too long.
