From One Woodworker To Another…

This is the story of how the late woodworker, James Grisham's family received an amazing favor from Charles Brock. Video produced by Alyson Grisham www.alysonfilms.com Here is Chuck's article: charlesbrock.blogspot.com I received a call for help from a sweet lady named Linda Grisham. Her story was very interesting, the kind that tugs at your heart and keeps you from forming the word "No" as a response. Linda explained that her husband James was a woodworker and had built several Maloof style pieces of sculptured furniture. He'd finished several rockers and was working on a cradle when a drunken driver hit and killed him during one of his early morning bike rides near Carrolton, Georgia. Linda said she found me through Highland Woodworking in Atlanta, GA. She asked if I would finish the cradle because their first grand child was due in June. See what I mean? Linda and her son Todd Grisham arrived at my studio one day with the cradle and its frame. The cradle as delivered to my studio is pictured with my work bench. It looked absolutely "Maloofian". A walnut frame with double stretchers and a cradle with coopered ends and a walnut strip basket between them made up a large cradle for the new Grisham baby. I would take the challenge, but not for pay. Thanks would be enough. How do you charge for a project like this one? I have often imagined my unfinished projects at my passing. My family will not know what to do with them, my tools or wood stash. When attending woodworkers <b>…</b>

Cut, Drill and Machine Kleer

Kleer® brand cellular PVC trim products can be cut using typical woodworking tools with carbide blades or bits. They should be sharp with a medium number of teeth. Too few teeth may create rough edges; too many teeth may cause the product to melt. Special care should be taken when using jig saws due to excessive heat build-up.

What job is suitable for my daughter?

Anna Asked: What job is suitable for my daughter?

Well, I'm a bit nervous because of my daughter's interests. She is very talented in art, she does sketch, ceramics, woodworking, pastel, watercolor, oil painting, but esp. oil painting. She can be very formal when she needs to be however, if she's unfamiliar w/ someone she can be very secretive and unwilling to give out any information esp. to my business partners and tutoring teachers. (she does warm up to people after 2 weeks or so…) She is very cheerful, honest and it seems like parents and students like her. (except for the really strict teachers for some reason) She can be very annoying sometimes cause she talks a lot if ur very close to her and sometimes she can be oblivious to people's feelings, like compliments but people interpret it in a bad way when she doesn't mean to. Her math, english, and history is excellent except her grammar, sports, and science. If it means anything, she has an astounding sense of smell and she knows a lot about people's personalities by looking at them. Note: the psychologist says she does not like little children because she doesn't like to be reminded of her childhood. (She REALLY hates kids)

She could be a pole dancer or a prostitute in Thailand.



Hannah Harley Answered:
Artist, if she's good enough she won't have to be too personable, but it would be good to start cultivating her social manners. Historian even?



NL Answered:
Lots of jobs for those like her. Design either in IT/graphics, interior, advertising sectors or the very obvious and artist/painter. There are artists who get very rich by selling their artwork. One of my neighbour is actual an artist with police dept.

One question though, how can her English language be excellent if she's poor in grammar?
