Best Ideas

Ma ... on the new porchette ....

Still working on it ... My firewood arrived Saturday, and construction will have to take a break until thats stacked in the shed. Fortunately, we were able to get the little bit of inside framing work done this past weekend and were good to go ... Well finish the outside over the course of the summer, with the work sprinkled in at a little more leisurely (if thats possible considering I started back in April) pace ... All work, (even if its fun work), and no play makes Jack a dull boy .... Click the photos to enlarge them ...

My kind of post ... I just went back to 10/22/07 and did a little cutting and pasting. Same deal this year. The party is on the 13th, 6-8 .. if its like the last one, it should be good ... This year my bookends above are called Identical Twins ... 2" solid steel on 3/8ths by 2.5" steel.

Dan Mosheim donates bookends to fundraiser at Mark Skinner Library

The Mark Skinner Library in Manchester, Vermont recently asked 25 local artists to donate a pair of bookends for a fundraiser/raffle that will take place on November 10th. Tickets are $5. each, or 5 for $20. Each ticket can be placed in the raffle box for the particular artists bookends that youd like to own. Proceeds will benefit the adult collection at the library. Tickets are available at the Mark Skinner Library and at The Northshire Bookstore as well as Factory Point and Chittenden banks. Or, if youre not going to be around, call the library at 802-362-2607. For my bookends, I visited the metal shop and whipped up a pair I called Bookends for David Smith in recycled chestnut and forged and welded steel. I had a blast. The party looks like it might be fun too. See you there.
