It's likely sacrilegious, but I got a recipe for vegetarian chili,
originally aimed at participants in a summercamp - definitely not ritzy. I did change the original 3 tbsp of cayenne pepper to 3 tsp when I tasted it. I also added browned sweet italian sausage or spiced ground meat. I did like the garbanzo beans, so they stayed. My daughter and her family come running when I say I have a new batch ... If anyone is interested, I can copy the recipe ... -- Best regards Han email address is invalid |

I just wanted to tell you I think your piece is absolutely stunning. If you are at all interested in being an author, you should probably send your photos to a magazine or two. Well Thank you Bill! Yup. Really nice looking build. The only downside is that everything else you make has to match this piece. I'm always jealous of what you build. Not of the pieces themselves, but the fact that you have a suitable space to build it in. When I dream of winning the lottery, it's not tropical vacations and naked women I think about, it's the house with a really nice workshop I imagine. I'm not quite sure if my imagination is working properly or not. ??? |

That piece is one that I am particularly proud of and I wanted this piece to follow suite. If only they were not on such a large scale. ;!) I do enjoy the room although I have so darn busy since we moved in 12 months ago I have not really had a chance to put things where they need to be. That task began today by relocating the freezer. Later this week a few other items will be relocated and I hope to finally move my lumber stash from the old house to the new one. Thank heavens our son bought our older house so we were not rushed to move although I think he may be getting a bit tired of waiting. LOL |

Well Leon.... you probably just made life harder for a lot of nice
guys. How could they follow that up in their own homes? Beautiful stuff, Leon. Seriously. After seeing your other work in person, I know the workmanship is excellent. But I love the design work you are doing as it like no other. It has a simple elegance to it that is really appealing to me. I am wondering if it might be time to think about sharing that on a larger platform than this dinky newsgroup (if you aren't already!) and maybe thinking of teaching others. I am still hoping that Kathy and me can make it to Houston to see all of you in Houston. Maybe we can see it in person then. On the other hand, I might not want Kathy to see it; I would hate to have to make all the disclaimers if she asked the dreaded "is that something you could do honey?". Yikes! Gorgeous work. Robert |

Thank you Dave, the down side began early last year with the bedroom tower project. That piece is one that I am particularly proud of and I wanted this piece to follow suite. If only they were not on such a large scale. ;!) The various woods and finishes you use makes me think that those pieces would have also qualified you for that Festool contest you entered. Have you had any further response from them about it? |

Yeah, throwing money away in interest for immediate gratification seems to be a necessary evil for many. We have been fortunately enough to get out of that routine. Me, too. I have only one loan now (truck, 80% paid off) and no CC balances. When I took Business Law in HS, interest rates they're charging today were criminal, known as "usury." I'm still researching this one to death: 1) Get a business expansion grant. --This is a no-brainer, no cost, could take a couple years to get. $50k to start. or 2) Lease a much larger machine and have to rent shop space for it. --This is the highest cost but at a lower interest rate. It also presents the possibility of quicker ROI due to larger projects, but those would take more expertise in software and hardware manipulation prior to taking them on. Catch 22. $30-50k to start. or 3) Buy the parts and software, then build my own smaller CNC router with borrowed CC money. I'd have to clear out my own shop for it. --It's the least monetary output but the highest interest. I could start slowly and then expand into a larger machine as the money came in. (I could turn the little guy into a laser or plasma cutter then.) $4-6k to start. Decisions, decisions, though I'm leaning toward the latter. Almost all of the niches I'm considering breaking into could be done on a smaller and potentially less precise machine. -- However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results. -- Sir Winston Churchill |

Perhaps so they can maintain that they pay interest on some of their checking account, maybe? Also, some people can't tell the difference between 5% and .05%. I know that their "reserve rate" (the amount on deposit a bank can't lend) is higher on demand deposit (checking) accounts than for savings accounts. So, assuming that they wish to make loans, it makes sense that they would prefer the money in the savings accounts. That is also related to the requirement that they (have to) restrict the number of w/d's per month from savings accounts--else, in the eyes of the federal reserve, they would resemble demand deposit accounts.
