Grumpy Old unemployed Men
 

I was laid off December 21, first time in about 20 years. So I made a few things to occupy myself. Cabinet I made for my son and daughter in law to be, is made from crating that the glazing for the Aurora Greenhouse was shipped from Poland in. Built a live roll and winch bracket and braces for my headache rack. Should make loading a large critter a piece of cake. Boot rack and wine rack were made snd given as gifts, shotgun lamp I made for Catnthehat. He's got special plans for it. And I still made time to play on the D6 on the inlaws farm. Made some new lines and cleaned up some old ones. Even went shooting for a day. New gun is crazy accurate at .552". Next, 3.3 acres of yard work

Sorry to hear that you got laid off but happy for you to have found things to keep you busy. By the looks of it you could turn your talents into making a few bucks.

I’ve been planning on mounting a winch onto roll bars to recover road kills for bait and like what you did.

I live 15 minutes from you HD, come for a coffee.

Those look like all fun projects! Thanks for sharing Leo.

Wow Leo that's me next year.......:sHa_shakeshout:

Nothing wrong with doing what you want cuz you worked for it!

Freedom 55.....not old but getting grumpy:)

Stay busy Leo,
If ur dozer was up at Sunset H I’d have some work for u.

TBark

The odds of you finding work soon may have gone up yesterday.:)

Funny, I was thinking the same thing... but it would have to be closer to Buck Lake. :-)

Nice job on the projects. I like the boot rack.

Looking good buddy!

Thanks folks. Hopefully my employer will be calling shortly and re-hiring me to start a job. Meanwhile I'm gonna enjoy life and maybe do some spot n stalk bear hunting.

That crate wood sure looks good after you put a bit of work into it, great job Leo. After last nights election I think you best get that yard cleaned up quick because I think things will pick up again.

Good luck with the bears!

Beautiful work of art! I just love this cabinet! Looks amazing. You should start doing custom cabinets. And the bottle holder is very cool too.

you never even hit the target- inch and a half high, inch right!!! :sHa_sarcasticlol:

Seriously though, nice work. You old gummers need to stay active :)

Hahaha! Doing my best to stay out of trouble is more like it!

Nice work, You are a very talented man.

Sorry to hear that

Hey nice work on the boot rack !

Now if only I knew how to weld. Wanna give me an 8 hour crash course so I can use my uncles welder at cabin ? Or how much for that boot rack hahaha , oh dang she gone

Cat will have to watch the great outdoors again

Ya it sucks, after 23 years in the oil field I had to find a new career. Not fun working your way to the top then having to start all over again. I not the only one out there.

About 40 years ago I asked my uncle to teach me how to weld. He gave me 50lbs of rod and said go weld. I figured it mostly out after that. Lol. There's not much I can show you, I'm a farm welder, not a pro.

The reason you were laid off was because your creativity was wanting to come out. When you are done creating another job will appear. Enjoy. Nice projects so far.

Nice work Leo. I saw that lamp in a slightly earlier state I think.

Remember......my offer for the house and property still stands. I may put a time limit on it tho. :)


Good men with talent aren't out of work for long. Just a chance for you to spread your wings and try new things. We never get too old to do that.

I Need a boot rack. let me know if you could make another one, , possibly a double layer model, 4 or 5 boots wide, like your creativity making things.

You mean this place? Lol.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2f62de6844.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9b9e7bfc37.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5c942fd6fd.jpg

Dang. Yeah that one. Has to be a lot of upkeep for an old guy. You really should consider passing it on to a much younger man. Ahemmm

In all seriousness Leo, short of being on a few sections of prime hunting land, and some berms a guy could park targets on and shoot at off his back porch, it's as good as it gets. I am seriously envious.

It's a pretty nice place. But, it just stuff. The girl in the second picture is what makes it a home.

Good on ya sir.
