Here is another independence hall imbed on a black and gun metal bolt. This also comes with the medallion. The other picture shows the front of the certificate and one side of the medallion and the picture shows the back of the certificate and the other side of the coin.

After being out of town for the long weekend, I took the day off today. I decided to get in the shop and make a couple pens. Here is an Independence Hall imbed on a gun metal bolt action pen. It comes with a 250th anniversary medallion. This one will go to my VFW post.

Also got back to making a pen today. This is a 250th birthday, Independence Hall I bet on an antique brass bolt action pen kit. It comes with a 250th birthday coin. I plan to donate it to my VFW post to raffle off.

The rocker is finished. It is nice and sturdy and quite comfortable. I tried my hand at using some upholstery fabric and foam to make my own seat and back pads. They have some issues but not bad for my first time.

I did more work on the rocker today. I fixed the broken stretchers and legs that were broken and glued the back in place. It is clamped together in the garage so the glue can dry. Next, I need to figure out the seat pad. We decided we don’t want refinish it as we like the olde, worn look. Besides, it is for the porch so I don’t want to put a lot of effort on something that will be sitting outside.

As -romised, here is the picture of my first successful ring. A use an acrylic of mixed clear and blue. My wife, who is the recipient of the ring, said it looks like the ocean. I agree. There will be more rings to come. Stay tuned.

Here is a side project I am working. We bought this rocker at an antique shop a few weeks back. I should have taken a closer look when I bought it because when I got it home, I found some issues. Yes, the bungee cords are holding it together. So, I decided to see if I can restore it. Stay tuned. I will post as it progresses.

It has been a while since I posted anything. I have been doing stuff but did not post. I made 3 more attempts at ring making. 2 of them blew up again so I decided to use a different blank. I finally had success today. Pictures will be posted tomorrow. Things I have been working on. The shelves pictured here. The cast iron toys were on my office floor so I built a shelf for them. My snoopy collection continues to grow an I needed more shelf space there as well. So, clearly, they are done and mounted. The other thing is that I helped a dear friend make a pen. I did not get a picture. I asked her to send me one so if I get it, I will post. So, stay tuned. Pictures of my first successful rich are coming and another project in an upcoming post.
