I'm 100% with you Jack! It is a fine line, but those of us who see treasure in the trash pile understand. Today's disposable society tries to make us seem like the wierd ones but I think we might be on to something!

It's all fun in my eyes, and of course hearkens back to the days when there was almost no garbage.
Oh yeah Jack, I also liked the sewing machine drawers hooked together! It gave me some ideas for the drawers out of an old bureau in my "junk" pile. A comfort to know there are other mostly crazy folks out her!

Thanks Jack! Yeah, I saw the pictures of the toaster you're working on. Very cool!
That's a beauty! I love the junk CBGs. I'm making one out a vintage toaster at the moment.
Yeah Unc, compared to the back this is beautiful!
I truly like the top view.
Thanks Rob. Just finished the vid!
Cool !!! I looked to see if there was a video before I commented on the picture. How does she sound ?!?!
