Yesterday we made a peace pipe.

Day before made a eight ball with a thieving crow on it, making a six inch ball is difficult with my equipment.
Poured lead in the bottom half so it can tip and come back upright.

Great as always Pitchy ! there has been a Giant Empty void here and I'm sure Glad You are back and doing O.K. We've missed You.

A warm welcome back buddy . . .

Love the pipe...

YAY! Lenn is back! Ditto on the void left when you took a time out, my friend. That's a handsome peace pipe.
One year I grew some "native" tobacco -- Nicotiana quadrivalvis -- in a corner of a raised bed. It is a lovely plant in and of itself, and when I took a puff of the dried and crushed leaves in a corncob pipe, I knew I had better quit before I was hooked again!

That peace pipe is great. Very interesting piece.

A few decoys.

piller · Post by **piller** » Tue Mar 03, 2020 5:42 pm

I like the peace pipes. Dual purpose is often more valuable than single purpose.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 7:33 am

Some more toy stuff, a articulated Snoopy dog.

A push duck with flapping feet.

Toddler horse.

Horse on wheels.

so the hatchet is there in case the peace pipe fails?

piller · Post by **piller** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 12:55 pm

Offer peace. Be ready for war. That is old wisdom. Unfortunately, not everyone is willing to accept peace. That is just human nature.

I like the way you built and decorated the peace pipes. Pitchy, you are a clever and talented man!

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 1:17 pm

Thanks fellars, Merle made it from two square pieces of wood put a groove down the middle of each then glued them together.
Then used the side grinder and sanded them round.

Today we made a wind chime, ya make a 1/4 or half inch slit down the side about five inch long, attach the caps on a board so ya can turn the bottles proper.
I put it on a stand so it will point into the wind , the slits will be approx. on the sides to the wind.

Bill in Oregon · Post by **Bill in Oregon** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 1:33 pm

I'll be darned, Lenn. What's she sound like when a breeze is up?
Loving your sweet Snoopy pull dog.

Thanks Bill, not sure yet on the sound can`t get the wind to blow when ya want to don`t ya know.

Also the bottles might work as a tail instead of the tail we`ll have to see.
If we get some wind i`ll shoot a video.

OK, thanks - I was thinking it would take a long bit and a steady hand to drill it.....

Fantastic projects Lenn, I like 'em all..

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 3:48 pm

Thanks pard, that Trek is a neat bike it has a 7 speed internal gear drive in the rear hub.
Yep something to do to stay sane, i`m getting to the point that i`m looking forward to green grass to walk on again.

Thanks Griff, someone told me about that when i was a youngster course nothing i`d partake in.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Thu Mar 05, 2020 6:55 am

Thanks Jay, it`s removable by removing two clips from a bar that`s attached to the frame and rear axle which allows the bike to lean also.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Thu Mar 05, 2020 7:33 am

Pitchy do you have any older lawnmower blades from 60's or 70's.. ?

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Thu Mar 05, 2020 10:46 am

Thanks Bill, i have the flag mast that goes on that light also.
Tod i don`t know i`ll have to look but i think the only old ones are on mowers that run.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Thu Mar 05, 2020 10:50 am

A couple old wood planes, the bigger one was in rough shape and missing the forward hand hold so made one this morn.

there doesn't seem to be an end to your talents.....

Thanks Merle, i don`t use planes like that much but like the looks of them and i hate having anything that isn`t functional.

I really like this. It looks very practical.

Could be a camper with mosquito netting. Or could have a little engine driving the rear axles. Or a big battery and electric motor...

thanks for posting

Lenn I don't know if you need to read a book or write one. You certainly have enough ideas floating around in your head to write one. Just your patterns should be worth a fortune. What a shame the generation coming after us won't have any appreciation for these kinds of things.
Love ya brother

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Fri Mar 06, 2020 7:02 am

Thanks Rusty pard, today i`m finishing up a walnut peace pipe.
