Redwood Clock

I'm hoping you share it when you get the letter.

As always, great job, Lynn! 8)

Back to the Hee-Haw....I remember back when it was on in the 70s, we had a "party line" on our phone until about 75 or 76. Anybody remember those?

[samandothers]

The number of people that know that number are becoming fewer and fewer!  Heeee Hawww!

Yes I do, and the village gossip held out until the end and she was the only one on the line. She also did this because the phone rate was half that of private. Finally, they took it out in the early nineties. She "rubbered" on everyone while she could even the phone company. :D

Hey, I'm only in my 40's and I remember Heehaw with Roy Clark and Minnie Perle with that hat and price tag dangling down. ;D Of course I was too young to remember much but between mother, dad and grandparents those were the TV shows one watched along with Lawrence Welk which they still air reruns of every week long after he died.

UPS ran today and delivered a package to me from Madison, Mn.  It was of course from the clock customer.  Lotsa neat stuff which included some jerky and other meats, a JD cap, JD sweat shirt, JD thermos, a complete portable drill/light kit, and a check which included a nice tip.   


 
The Birthday Party is this week.   

[SwampDonkey]

You must have a birthday to. ;D Mighty thoughtful of them folks. Musta got something right, eh?

MM
You certainly deserved that, and it being JD made it just that much better... 8) 8)

[SAWMILL BUDDY]

Good job. That's a happy customer for you. Makes you feel good about your work.

[metalspinner]

A sweatshirt?  It must still be cold up there. :D  We were in the mid 80's here today.

That's a sweet pile of goodies you have there, Magicman.

[Magicman]

He promised pictures of the Birthday Party.  I am excited and it is not even my party.   

[WDH]

That meat looks spoiled.  Send it to me, and I will check it out for you.

[Magicman]

We tried some "chicken jerky" this afternoon and it was really nice.  There is also soft jerky, snack sticks, and pepper/cheese snack sticks.

I quickly lost the drill combo to PatD.  She has been wanting her very own drill.  Looks like I'm gonna hafta hide the sweat shirt, wear the cap, eat the jerky, and cash the check or I will not have anything left.   :D :D

I sure am anxious for the "rest of the story".  Speaking of HeeHaw, hey Granpa, what's for supper? I always liked that show too.

[markd]

Now that's just downright MAGIC!!!

[Misfit]

Kinda sorta off topic but not totally........ we were driving through Greenville, TN over the weekend and saw a late 80's Chevy pickup with HEE-HAW hand painted on each side. Across the tailgate was BR-549 and on the rear bumper was J.R. Samples. He lives on!!

Hi there.  My name is Missy, and I am the sister to the MN guy that you just made this clock for.  There are no words to express how I feel about this clock that you made for my daddy.  Yes, I am almost 43 years old and still call him daddy...he is a very special person.  The wood that you took to create this clock goes back generations in our family and very close to our hearts.  What you did with it goes beyond beautiful in so many ways.  He will be receiving it on his birthday, which is on Saturday, and I am pretty sure there will be tears involved.  Thank you so very much for your patience during this project and the wonderful end product!!!  Here is a picture of this special man with my three boys.

 

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

With the love I see in your family and the love MAGIC puts in to his clocks....your family should always be on time. 

WELCOME TO THE FORUM, Missy!

[WDH]

Hey Missy!

Welcome to the Forum.  Take some pics for us on Saturday.

[Magicman]

Was that tear mine?  Wow, what to say?  For once, the Magicman is at a loss for words, except thank you for allowing me to be a part of this upcoming special day in all of your lives.

[Magicman]

Missy,  What a surprise your post gave me, and what a joy it is to finally put a face on the person that I have had in my mind and on my heart since last July.  This clock has not been a destination but a journey.  My joy will be knowing that my contribution to this journey is in good hands and that it will become a family treasure.

As a side note:  Last year's clock build was especially for the owner of this forum, Jeff and Tammy Brokaw.  Had that not been done and Dave not seen it, then this event never would have taken place.  We just never know what lives we may touch.  LINK

This clock story gets better everytime I read the thread. Welcome Missy and hope your family has the best party ever. bg

[sandhills]

Missy, welcome to the forum, it's made up with some very good people, one of which you've already been associated with.  Stick around, believe me you never know what you can learn around here  .

[SwampDonkey]

Hi Missy, thanks for coming aboard the FF to express your special thanks and gratitude to MM and his clock making talent.  Hope your dad has a great birthday this Saturday.

[Magicman]

The Birthday Party was yesterday and Chuck was presented with his Redwood Clock.


 
That old barn lumber can now provide enjoyment and conversation for many years.

MM
That is a lot to be proud of, for sure. You have to feel real good seeing that picture and having a new friend.
