My first post was on the first plane till requirements
I really did not know what to expect but with Ralph's encouragement I gave it a try. Here we are a year later and to my complete amazement, my dribbles have been viewed close to a million times in a 100 different countries around the world, wow! I don't know what to say except thank you for your readership and support.
As when I wrote this, it has been viewed 972,928 times...
Should reach a million shortly, amazing!
Along the way, I made some good friends around the world and I'm always surprised when people locally tells me they read my blog faithfully.
This blog has also motivated me to cleaned up and better organized my shop, since many photographs are taken within.
The shop when I started
The shop now, thanks to my blog :-)
I am not quite done with my hand tool shop re-organisation projects. I still need a boring till, a bottom wooden chest for under my antique joiner chest, and finish a few things around the place. Then there is still the power tool shop AKA Garage, which is dire need of uncluttering and still need to bring in 220V for my Unisaw.
But all of these are currently on the back burner as we are about to embark on a
new promising drug trial which is sadly her last hope, so fingers crossed!!!!
My dear wife Heather of 32 years and hopefully a few more.

Who is busy giving me more woodworking projects :-)
Happy anniversary Bob. You have my permission to pop open another blue can after the shop will pass inspection.
ReplyDeleteCool thanks Ralph! :-)
ReplyDeleteAlthough today is more like wine, we are having a diner with a few friends over.
The secret to passing inspection, as you probably know in the military is to leave a tidbit of something out in the open for the inspectors to find, keep them occupy and happy, they found something then they go. Not hat I would know anything about that, just saying :-)
Hi Bob,
ReplyDeleteI believe you are in Nova Scotia. We were in Yarmouth this summer and I found the Yarmouth County Museum to have a pretty good display of tools and lots of interesting carving. Worth checking out if you get down there.
I really have enjoyed your informative posts.
Good luck with the treatment.
Bob,
ReplyDeleteAs with Stefan....Congrats on sticking with it for a year. A blog is a great journal. I've always tried to keep one but with all the moves and life changes paper journals tend to disappear. Since starting to blog (there have been several) I can always go find anything from the first post forward. That's the up side, the down is you have to be careful and not tell too big a lies because anyone else can read from the first post forward :-).
Wishing the best for Heather and for you as you'll deal with the medical system.

HI Ken
ReplyDeleteThank you, could not have done it without you guys support. Much appreciated.
It is kind of a journal isn't it, and also a means of putting down what I known before I forget...
Bob, aging not so gracefully
Congratulations on your anniversary :-)
ReplyDeleteBest of hopes for the future for you and your family

ReplyDeleteComment ça va vieille branche casser. Aurais-tu une copie du disque de Fine Woodworking?
Happy anniversary Bob.
ReplyDeleteSomehow I had the impression that you were writing for longer.
I like to read your posts, so keep on writing.

Salut JC, envoie moi un PM sur Facebook
ReplyDeleteHi Stefan

Glad you like it.
Bob
Happy Anniversary Bob. Well done.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the first year. Sorry for what you're going through. Amazing content you've managed to create under very cruel circumstances.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jonathan. I follow your blog and I am always amazed at your work quality. Well done.
ReplyDeleteBob
