I forgot to mention some of the things dad made for me: 1) Sculpture work bench... I had an old porcelean hoosier cabinet top that I wanted to use and he comes up with this most beautiful piece of furniture I own (seriously). I hate to sculpt on it. It is solid wood (maple, oak and cherry I think). All the drawers open smoothly because of the gliders The insets are all beveled. I told him what I wanted OVER THE PHONE and about how high and he comes up with this. He even wrote out an inscription about "inspiration" and "hard work" that is sealed on the inside of the top drawer so every time I open it I read this and his "I love you... Dad" signature. 2) Dressing mirror 3) Porch Swing (cedar - also the dimensions of my little porch were given to him OVER THE PHONE and of course it fit like a glove). 4) Bird feeder (out of cedar of course) 5) I'm sure there is more woodwork but what is coming to me now is the time he rigged my old LEMON of a car up with a "panic button" that was under the dash by the steering wheel that would trigger my windshield wipers because the damn car was such a lemon there was no repairing the switch that operated them... SO, he makes his own switch. PLUS how cool is it to have your own panic button? Cool I tell you 6)Or the time he also invented some type of diaphram system for my much newer, fancy Saab, that had a problem with its wipers (fluid would only come out one side). Of course in all of Nashville (including the Saab dealership) there is no part to repair such a thing. So what does he do??? He goes in to some place like Walgreens and buys a bunch of stuff and basically makes his own. Those are just a top few. Love you so much Dad. Amy Oh… I forgot to mention some of the things dad made for me:

What a great guy. Every father should be so lucky to have as story like this written about him. And a guy who knows how to work with his hands...fabulous.

I needed to put just one of these incidents down in writing just in case anything happens to me! Like I said, it’s a daily occurance, with the fall thru the attic drywall being the highlight.

LOL, man. I know that feeling. Getting others to help on the mundance, like changing a light, can be a real challenge. I know that part all too well about "Are you pressing it?" There lies Joe Blake
