Was in the back room tonight. Really have GOT to get back there
more. Anyway, retieving my Nam slides to see if they're still viewable
- sotored in those plastic boxes, used on a B&H lide projector. I'd
been worried they were bac, because I'd found some that were totally
blank - apprently caused by the plastic outgassing, so I was worried.
But, so far, they're all good. However, I'm still going to store them
elsewhere, and get prints made of them all. And, no, no pictures of
bodies. I don't do things like that.

And, under the slide boxes, lo and behold. A book I'd been trying
to find for several years. It's got plans for how to make a child's
rocking horse. A rocking hourse you say? So what? Well, the what is,
it show how to make a hollow-body carousel type rocking horse - the real
deal. The only parts you actually need to carve are the eyes, ears, and
nose. This one is'n't painted like a carousel horse, but that would be
easy enough if that's what you wanted. It's made with poplar, with a
walnut stain. Looks like something that'd sell in a place like New Yawk
City, or Hollywood, for about a gazillion bucks. It's a minor gloat
that I bought the book in the first place, finally found it again, and
hadn't gotten rid of it somewhere along the line.

It's been a bit hard getting in and out of there for awhile,
because the younger kid has stuff a bunch of junk in there, and
generally made a large mess. I've been tossing trash lately tho, so I
can a least get in. Glad too. I ran across my N guage setup, that I
'll dig out as soon as I get something made to set it up on. Plus
theres a batch of woodworking books, including some on boatbuilding, and
misc other books, I'd forgotten even having. I'ts great to save stuff.

If you want to try to find a copy, it's in the Popular Science
Woodworking Proujects, 1986 Yearbook. It may be out of print now. It's
got some pretty damn neat stuff in there.

I could probably be convinced to sell my copy, "after" I copiy the
rocking horse plans, of course. $30, and I pay postage. If you're
serious,you can e-mail me. First come, first served.
