Happy Veterans Day!!! I served in the US Army and Husband served in the US Marines and we wanted to wish everyone else who served a Happy Veterans Day!
Even though I am an avid hand routering kinda gal, Husband has been dabbling in the CNC world. He recently got a Shark HD5 CNC machine and has been making military signs like crazy! In this video we show you his new toy in action and some of those signs he has carved.
So now our conflicting household of Marines vs Army has added CNC vs hand routering. Yet we get along pretty well 🙂
My art teacher from high school lives in a town near me over here in Central Oregon!!! I got to meet up with him and his wife and I made them a housewarming gift of a routered sign using juniper wood.
The font is called Henny Penny. I designed it on Word and then printed it to size on Rapid Resizer.
It was fun to make and really fun to give it to them.
Matthew 7:25 (NCV) It rained hard, the floods came, and the winds blew and hit that house. But it did not fall, because it was built on rock.

I wanted to make an entrance or driveway sign for my cousins who have a piece of property in East Texas. They call it Confugo Hills which means to take refuge. So it is their favorite place to go and relax. I thought how cool it would be to make them a sign for it!
On the back side I put the verse Proverbs 3:6, which says:
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. And this will be seen when leaving the property!
I had a super time delivering this to them and surprising them with it!

I remade the little river table I attempted to make a few months ago. This time I used TotalBoat resin! (TotalBoat will give a 10% discount on resin when you use the code cyscorner!)
Anyway, I removed the old resin, cleaned up the myrtlewood, poured some TotalBoat resin and it turned out so well that I welded up a base, leg, and foot, to make it into a table!
I am new at welding so I did a lot of grinding, but the project as a whole turned out awesome!!!

I was commissioned to make a hidden gun case that mounts on the wall. I had to start from scratch and design the entire thing. It was a challenge but I really enjoyed figuring it out and delivering to the customer.
The sign has a Spartan knight and says Molon Labe (or ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ) which is a classical Greek phrase meaning “come and take [them],” attributed to King Leonidas of Sparta as a defiant response to the demand that his soldiers lay down their weapons. Gun-rights advocates have adopted the phrase as a challenge to perceived threats of firearm confiscation.
And the smaller words, Amat Vidtoria Curam, are a Latin saying meaning “Victory Loves Preparation.”
On the back is the verse Psalm 119:114 (kjv) Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.

This video shows the second and third attempt at making a chocolate intarsia. I figured out a lot of things by the third attempt and I am calling it a success!
The pattern is by Kathy Wise and there’s a link down below if you want to order her book that has the pattern in it. I also have links to the silicone that I used, the good acrylic spray I used, and my favorite chocolate recipe.
In August we had the three oldest grandkids for a week. Nadine, Noah, and Ella. The youngest, Nev, didn’t come for the week because she’s just too little yet, but she did come for the family barbecue at the end of the week and did stay with us for a bit.
This video is all about the adventures we had during the time with the kids. It is mostly for husband and I to treasure the memories, but if you want to watch you are more than welcome. 😊
We did a bunch of stuff! We explored, painted rocks, driftwood, and saws. We tie dyed shirts, painted the clubhouse door, went to the reservoir, put hand prints on the pump house. Spent some time at the park and ended the week with a family picnic.
This is a yearly event so we look forward to next August!!!
Nadine facets gems for a hobby! Check out her Instagram page!!! Ilovegreenrocks
