Non-Typical Solutions

That is very cool work......

Definitely feel your pain.....and plus 10 on helping the huning ego.....knocks me back down to ground level......we hunted 23 deer this past season....did not see one single deer with antlers....not one!!!

Chicken killers get me riled.....good job!!!

Some days I know you all have encountered, you just gotta wonder what am I doing wrong??? I teach two concepts, cutting on the line and leaving the line. In this case the student was supposed to cut outside the line as close to the line as possible but leave the line!!! This kid obviously did not understand cutting close to the line inside or out!!!! Great teaching moment after the fact!!!

I want a farm!!! Looks like lots of hunting fun!!!

huntin pecker....... Just about lost it. That would be Javelina hunting right!!!

So not exactly the same project but the same idea....this is a mutt dog piggy bank and the rear end on mutt dog is similar to the cow piggy bank, which happens to be what the first picture with failure to cut to the line shows. Here are other samples of piggy banks kids are working on!!

Well, at least you're teaching woodworking and not grammar. Sorry, couldn't resist. I wood never survive!!!!!

Or maybe a little more teaching before hand and student evaluation. Sorry but unless the kid is really remedial or challenged there is not reason for that to happen in a wood working class. I took "shop" every year (mandatory) from 7th grade through 12th. Everything from metal casting to welding to printing and sheetmetal/iron working class. But my love was wood working and in my senior year I had two classes, one was cabinet making and the other was boat building. I built a hydroplane and my friend built a 16' runabout, way back in 1970. We averaged 15-20 kids per class, maybe your class is larger but there is no reason for that to have progressed to the point that the project became such a failure and resource was wasted. I do take full responsibility and agree, that type of error is not an acceptable level of "competency" which is a word I have on every page of their folder. There is a vast range of skill level, manipulative dexterity, fear or lack of fear both which can cause harm. I grew up under a similar educational experience as PRDTR, driving tractors, 4-H, FFA, heavy exposure to working with animals and farming. Many of the students I get have very little exposure to such things. I don't really get to bent out of shape because for most of them it is a first time experience, wood shop that is, 7th and 8th graders, girls and boys from all different backgrounds. He will get better at it and that is my objective, after safety of course!

I will see if I have somebody far enough along on their project to take a picture.......

Absolutely a win........number one rule........no injuries!!!

For sure possible the saw was defective but when stuff like this happens I start to think I am the defective variable!!!

My only memorable misfire was a personal load on my 22-250 where I neglected to put powder in the casing and the primer fired but pffffffffttttttttt.......stuck the lead in the barrell.......embarrassing!!! Is it photo optical illusion that those two cartridges don't look the same length??

Go play football right??? Oh my gosh that made me laugh!!! snowflake hasnt won since 1979 i dont think. you could help the rebuilding process Which leads to the core of the problem here in Snowflake......what side of the line was I supposed to line up on coach??? The drought continues!!!

Go play football right??? Oh my gosh that made me laugh!!!

Get used to it cuz it is addicting and gratifying......some things are better spoiled than others!!!

Happy Birthday on the big 50....it's all downhill from here!!!

Took two of my grandkids fishing Saturday and had a great time. This is how it went. GP: Owen just let it sit. O: Can I reel it just a little? GP: OK 3 times O: Can I reel it again something is pulling on it. GP: OK reel it in......only to discover moss on his hook. Cast back out again.......and repeat over and over again for two hours straight. O: Grandpa......it's PULLING GP: Just reel it 3 times Owen! O: No Grandpa it's really pulling........ Could not get Owen to hold the fish himself for a picture........ Big brother Max conceded that Owen was the fishing king for the day......holy smokes bigger than any bass I ever landed!!!

If you take your cap off and look at it there can be up to 3 layers of different fabric involved in making that hat and it can sure work in a bind!!!

Cardinals actually looked like they played with some heart......4th and 1.......Floyd held onto a pass in heavy traffic.....Nelson held onto an impossible pass.......!!! How about those Raiders!!!!

Anybody been to anything there yet??? Any recommendations? Looking to get some King George tickets but it has been 15 years since I have been to Vegas and am wondering about what to expect.

As a kid we had a horse named JohnBull, we had ridden him tons but we all knew hew could be very much just like his name. He buggered after we came across a rattlesnake and dumped both me and my brother off not 5 feet away from the snake. I was with some friends and we all had horses, four of us total, we were riding around the farm where we had ridden many times before and one of the paths we took included a downed barbed wire fence, all the wires laying flat on the ground. Dumb as it sounds, we had ridden the path but this time one horse bumped a wire and course JohnBull spooked and when he jumped back he caught one of those wires right behing the front fetlock. All he could think to do was pull back, and pull back. I honestly can't remember how we every got him out of there but it was ugly damage to his fetlock and my dad was none too happy.

oh ok .. Kansas that makes sense I was gonna say if it was like "optic nerd " depicted and here in AZ that deer would be hanging in a tree at camp ! Good luck After the flip job I was actually more worried about the white neck marking thinking....wait a minute that has to be an eastern white tail........after a hunt of seeing nothing with anters on it of course I would shoot!!!

Same here specially with my ear on the desk!!!

Can we throw the Cardinals in the same bowl and use the same flush????
