Cool Hat Rack

I have a friend who collects hats from US Navy ships. He has a collection of about 100 hats from all kinds of ships. One day I decided to make him a special hat rack to display his favorite hats. The ship is the USS Julius A Furer (FFG-6) and was a Frigate in the United States Navy. For the record it was decommissioned in 1988 and sold to Pakistan in 1989. The ironic thing about this hat rack is that all the hats on it are from Aircraft Carriers not Frigates. You can learn more about the FFG-6 here. The hat rack is just a silhouette of the ship cut out of 3/4" white pine. I added 3 1/2" shaker pegs to hang the hats on then painted it haze gray. Below is another picture of the rack without hats.

Happy Easter

So tomorrow is Easter. My wife asked my son to help her get out the Easter decorations this week. Well Boys will be Boys. He set the Bunnies out in front of the house. One of the neighbors down the street called to ask why we were promoting pornography in our front yard. You know what the say, "If you can't take a joke......."

Sexy Button

I'm having a tough time finding something to post about today. So I thought I would post a picture of this button. What more can I say. This Blogging is hrader than it looks.

My Snow Plow

Just thought I would post a picture of my snow plow. This is made from an old front tine rototiller, a tractor plow blade and some tractor tires. I can use the rototiller in the garden in the spring and summer. Come the winter I remove the tines and replace them with the wheels, then bolt on the plow to the frame of the tiller. To operate I just use the tiller controls to power it in forward or reverse. It does well in a light snow up to an inch or two but a deep snow will cause the wheels to spin.
