Back in the day, this camp was the place to visit during deer season. Evenings were poker games and drinking. All the local hunters would stop by. The CO would visit and have dinner with us once or twice during the season. The guy that built the house had 11 children...yes..some stories. When my kids were young we used to gather them and a bunch of their friends, probably 12 or so kids and half a dozen adults and have a kids weekend at camp in the fall. Skeet shooting, hikes in the woods, down into the cedar swamp..then hide and seek after dark. All members have a key and can use the place at any time...yep..memories

The camp is in the pictures, group shot in front of it, kitchen and livingroom shot. I will post some Monday. I believe the wait list for the Canadian side has only one name on it right now. I drug a deer a half mile through that this year. From the bottom end of our property it would be close to a mile drag till you could get a ATV to it. But yeah..it is easy enough

I have been going there for about 30 years. This year was my 25th as a member. My son got a membership last year. Its just a group of guys that all enjoy a good time together. The article was wrong...there are 7 bedrooms up and one down, not just 4 up as reported

This fall was our 90th aniversary and a reporter from the Sault star showed up to do an article. We have been told that it will be in Ontario out of Doors magazine as well. this i will believe when i see it. The paper had full page pictures of the group but here is the story at least. http://www.saultstar.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2208434

I sure hope some of that weather drifts down this way...tighten the lakes up nice, then dump some snow on them

come on now...you have to share the resource..its for everybody. Maybe a few tourist ads should be directed that way as well

Nice bunch of fish. What are you towing on the riggers?

good luck to him...

I need help designing a really sharp rod holder. Something the wife would let you display your G Loomis or St Croix's in the living room on..or at least the home office/den

Thats the first I ever heard of anything as silly as that. I guess with the over abundance of CO's they have lots of time for this sort of thing Now, possibly they could have gotten her for selling the antlers, but not for picking up sheds.

Sofa table...I made the whole set. Coffee table, end tables and sofa table. The wife tossed out the store bought stuff when I brought these in. all mortice and tennon joints chopped with a hammer and chisel and a hand saw

Thanks Leechman..not real sure how long. There is probably about 40 or 50 hours of work in it. it was a tough one. I generally have a few projects on the go so if I am stalled on one, I can move to another. That was likely in the shop for 3 or 4 months. I get a few hours a night at it, the odd day on a weekend. I have one more wall of wood like that one, and about 300 bd ft of oak sitting outside that has to be moved in soon. I collect wood like you guys collect lures

I'm impressed...there is nothing here to enter. Hopefully you get back into it someday

The book keeper at work wanted a table for his home office. I had done one with a lower shelf. he said he wanted another shelf so he could put family pictures on it. I thought a second shelf would look like a book case rather than a table, so i chopped the shelf so he could arrange different size pictures on it. Maple painted black and Jatoba (aka brazillian cherry by yhe marketers) with tung oil varnish. and a couple of tiger maple and jatoba tables. thats it for now..thanks again guys..yes, most are my own designs...not the clock though..that came from a book

Clock/curio cabinet

A little cabinet in Walnut..It stands about lower chest height.

I'm impressed Irishfield (for some reason I can't recall your name) your daughter does really nice work, and for 16...wow. Thanks for the comments guys..I will put a few more pictures up. I have always loved woodworking but just the last few years gotten the time and tools to really pursue it. Woodworking sites can be great teachers and motivators. a cremation urn I did a few weeks ago. The name , dates and a maple leaf were laser engraved on it later

Thanks for the nice comments guys. Monsterman, PM sent. Yes, its spoken for..housewarming gift for a friend of the wife. There is more to come though...kids are grown and I get lots of shop time. Thats fine irishfield..makes me proud...but you can't build this art..it grows

Since the pics are posting this time...they don't always. Here is my latest. The top is flame birch and the frame is cherry. early stages..first dry fit then after a bunch of tapering, beveling, planing and first coat of tung oil.

A couple of people here have asked to see some of my shop work, so, here we go. A set of tables recently shown in another thread and now finished.

I would tell them the same thing if I had nothing to say. Charge me with what you want..I'm going home now.

I never knew they were less...I think they are pretty good boats

NP..happens to the best of us

My 270 Win would make short work of him. Could reach him easy. I KNOW that a 30-06 messes em up too. You aren't allowed to shoot rifles down there are ya?
