Old Man Skills

The masses have spoken, and they would like to see more of my old man skills. Ok just kidding no one asked for it, but you are getting it, and you will LIKE IT. I will admit that I have been teased for sharing a pastime with 70 and 80 year old men. Since this teasing I have been utterly ashamed to post. But last night I realized that I have nothing to be ashamed of, many family members have strange talents/hobbies/collections such as:


Quincy Beal: Rythmic Gymnastics

Chris Ericson: Doll making, and shoe decorating

Brandon Tolman: Slacklining/Circus Tricks

Aaron Tolman: Magic Cards

Bruce : Needlepoint

Marlon Mangus: Vacuuming

Taylor Redd: Fantasy Ice Dancing

Phil Sander: Neil Diamond Impersonator (Costumes and all)

Nick Santilli: The Goat Whisperer

I could go on but I will not. I did not make this list to tease or taunt anyone. It is more to applaud your talents. I wish you all the best in your endeavors.


These are some pens I made on the lathe for the Dads, and Grandpas for fathers day. The first pen was actually made out of a corn cob. The Sign is for my grandmas house. It seems like she always has company.
