"I'M NOT BAD, I'M JUST DRAWN THAT WAY"

The host of "The New Yankee Workshop" carves a roman a clef that gives new meaning to "dovetail joint". Bob Vila is not happy.

BIG SHOUT OUT

Just wanted to acknowledge the heck of a time I had this weekend up at Eric's. He hosted a blogmeet just north of Chattanooga where thirty or so fine souls gathered to compare notes and enjoy good food drink......and pop a few rounds from his collection of firearms.

Really had a good time, guys. Thanks so much, Eric.
