Thinking of the Past
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
 Just finished scrolling this today. I have always been a sports car fan…. even in my teenie bob'n days. When I was in the service I saved all I could because when I got out I wanted a sports car…. This is the one I purchased. Paid cash, I think it was a huge sum of around $3160. 1966 Alpha Romeo… I was going to buy a Triumph TR4, but the sales man said, before you buy that TR4, lets take this Alpha for a spin… Oh my what a sweet driving sports car.. I fell in love. So this was my first.. Unfortunately, I was not mechanic enough to keep it running as it should and there were no mechanics anywhere near where I lived that had ever even seen one let alone work on it. But anyway… My first sports car.. the car I proposed to my wife in… She may have married me for the car,, but she has stuck around for 54 years so far…Next on up to scroll is the 1966 Sunbeam Tiger I owned…. My most favorited car I ever owned…. Poor man's Cobra…

Birdhouse Cage
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
 Not sure what to call this but my daughter wanted her ceramic birdhouse hanging in something like this so we call it a birdhouse cage. Made from a bunch of scraps and sprayed with black satin. And now being changed to flat black.
The top is cut on a 45 and reinforced with wood nails. The legs are screwed through the bottom. I used a large brass cup hook for the hanger. 14'' tall x 7'' sq. The finale was made on the lathe, just something to top it off.
Turned out the way she wanted it and that's what matters. (except for changing the sheen)
Last pic was taken sideways on purpose for a long side view.
