FRESH'SWORKSHOP

 A couple of years ago, I was out in the workshop, and a fellow came up and asked me if I did outside work. I asked him what he had in mind, and he told me he had broken his favorite TV tray and wanted to know if I could repair it. He offered to pay me for the repair.

Although I leaned more towards electronics, over the years I have made many nice things. But my pride & joy is the 125-year-old house that my wife and I restored in the Historic District. We lived there for 25 years until I retired in
