Just like me, my dad is always working on a project. The newest project is a tractor that he is going to restore which when finished will complete a series of tractors in his collection that were manufactured in the late 1950s to the early 1960s. It is the 6th and final in the series and the largest. The tractor is a 1961 Oliver 990. It had a three cylinder GM diesel engine rated at 80 horsepower.
Dads assistant Paul, is a veteran of many of my dad’s restorations of the past few years.
Often I will work on a project until I completely burn my self out. I love to take myself right to the edge, and then a little further! Well, that’s not a 100% true. But I do obsess with things.

I built two cabinets this year in my new shop, The Hypogeum. My first was- Figured Pine with Mahogany Accents- which is my finest work to date. My last one for the year is- Ebony Stained Pine with Gray Pine Panel-. And I completed it today.

This was challenging week. But productive on many levels. But not the best week for photos, so at times I dived into my past, 1992 when I worked on aircraft.
If I ever had a chance at GQ this would have been it!

Because I was unable to get a good photo of myself doing something neat today, I will look into the past. In the early 1990s I did some old aircraft restoration. This was a fun project, a 1947 Stinson. I did all the fabric work and primer on this one.
