You can have any color as long as its black.

I think Henry Ford may have been color blind. The one color he loves is black. My poor station wagon is no exception. To the sadness of many wood workers and me and my father we have begun to paint the floor. Keep in mind the sadness is because the beautiful pieces of wood are being covered in black not because we have finally made some progress. I have also begun painting all of the hardware, again black. I had to construct a makeshift paint booth in my tiny garage. It works, its not beautiful, but it gets the job done. I am hoping the parts come out better than my paint booth.

Jim this above picture is the part you want to assemble first.

So now that we have it all painted black hopefully we will be able to show you some pictures of the floor in its more permanent status. And i'm told that we will begin moving up. Yay!

Da Girls

I know that your all wondering (mostly my mother wanted this post) what the girls do when the boys are working. They probably wanted this post to prove that they actually do things while we are out in the garage. But most of the time is spent satisfying the 2 youngest of our girls. Anyone with kids will understand. But because I have a wonderful, amazing, beautiful, all inspiring, pretty much the greatest thing that walks the Earth wife and awesome mother they do in fact actually get things done. They made this really cool awesomly wonderful Easter dresses...

Of course you have to appreciate the professional models in this picture. They are for hire for the right price. Just contact us. We take all forms of payment. For those of you who are wondering about the toothbrush in Lydias mouth she has recently become obbsessed with brushing her teeth. (This is a good thing right?) But so the whole world knows that everybody in Arizona is being productive heres to the women in my life. Love you!

Here are some other projects they have done...

They are beckoning the men

Do you notice a pattern here?

For Your Caboose

Clearly your rear end needs a place to stay. So we have made the wood well at least some of the wood to go under our seat springs. So that my wonderful Mother-in-Law can start working on the upholstery. The station wagon has a front bench seat, two jump, seats, and a rear bench seat. This makes it the one with the most seats. (sorry mom in law). Here is a picture of the bottom of the jump seat. For some reason I don't have the pictures of the other ones. They are really just bigger.

So this actually happened awhile ago but I dont think I ever posted about it. So we are going to throw it in for fun. Through this project the router has become our best friend. In fact probably 3/4 of the parts have been routed in some form or another. Those of you who are familiar with routers know that they have cords. We thought it was a good idea to shorten our cord. The only problem was it was running when we tried to shorten it. Can anyone say bad idea? Needless to say the electrical current arching throught the bearings really hasn't done wonders to a relatively new router. See exhibit A...

Yes the green bit in that router is the one that tried to shorten it. You probably can't see it but there are really big chunks taken out of the bit too. So if any of you guys are feeling generous Dads probably gonna need a new router at some point. Keep in mind that we need a router that if we want to shorten our cords with we still can.
