I don't get notifications. Wait... I think I do, but at AIM, which I never check. Ha. Anyway ... <br /><br />You lived in Santa Fe? Gosh, I love Santa Fe sooo much and would love to live there. I'm sure Yadi told you about our road trip there. Other than getting the worst case of hay fever ever, it was so beautiful there. Can't get enough of New Mexican food like green chile stew and sopaipillas! :) <br /><br />As for my papa, it would be nice if you and Yadi visited my parents' home one day. My papa would love to show you his stuffs as he loves to talk about his work (who doesn't, right?) He doesn't have pictures of his woodwork online. He really should, though. <br /><br />Frank, I LOVE your woodwork. Walnut is a more pricy wood, yes? It is absolutely gorgeous and perfect to make into candleholders! Wish I could buy one but can't afford right now, yikes. <br /><br />As for a blog, I do have one, under a pseudonym, on LiveJournal. That's more for private stuff, most of it is locked. I have a Twitter, too, but it's not linked to a blog. you can ask Yadi about it. My early entries on LJ are public, though, much of it rather silly. Ha. Should definitely start a separate blog with real name attached. <br /><br />As for your blog, I don't see how it can be improved! It's easy on the eyes and I like the topics at hand, especially the step-by-step processes of your creations. :) I love that. <br /><br />Btw, thanks for the lovely potluck gathering. It was cosy and I enjoyed myself very much. You're a swell guy, Frank. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8924111857627653576.post-83141671327875606572010-01-06T15:08:46.522-08:002010-01-06T15:08:46.522-08:00Thanx so much!

Thanks for the compliments.
Most ...Hey Juanita! Thanks for the compliments. <br /><br />Most of my tools are pre-owned (old) that I've acquired over years from other woodworkers. The older tools seem to work the best as they're much simpler and more stable. I do have some newer, store bought tools too, though, so, there's a nice mix.<br /><br />Your dad sounds like an interesting guy. I love the New Mexican style (I got interested in woodworking right around the time I lived in Santa Fe, coincidentally). I would love to see some of his stuff if you have any pics.<br /><br />Right now I'm working on smaller pieces: candleholders, desk sets and the decoupaged birdhouses (those are the ones I'm most excited about).<br /><br />Yadi tells me you are thinking of starting a blog? (or have one?--I can't remember) If so, let me know, either way. Would love to hear your ideas for a blog. Thanks again for reading my blog and for the complements.abodewellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16673869861043372578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8924111857627653576.post-41898831130326791722010-01-03T10:20:31.461-08:002010-01-03T10:20:31.461-08:00Hi Frank!

Where do you buy your tools from? <br /><br />Seriously, you and my papa need to meet. He's a woodworker, too. :) You both have different styles; he has more of a New Mexican sensibility. I have a lot of his furniture in my flat. Right now, he's making a buffet table for my mom. <br /><br />What other projects do you have in the works?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
