Uh-huh.
We don't have that much.
It's, uh, it's a very mild climate.
Oh, well that's nice.
That's good for the clothes budget, I would imagine.
Yes,
it is.
Because here, gosh, we had, uh,
the winter hasn't been bad this winter.
It's, it it's only snowed maybe once or twice
but it's been cold.
Low twenties, let's say,
and then the summer gets up to eighties, nineties
so,
You interested in woodworking?
Yeah.
Actually, I, uh, I guess I am
Um, it just seems kind of funny that this is a topic of discussion.
Uh, I do, uh, some, uh, woodworking myself
Uh, in fact, I'm in the middle of a project right now making a bed for my son.
Um.
What kind of
It's, uh, It's, uh, it's, uh, plywood, uh, face, I guess.
pine?
But I cut it out in the shape of a crayon box
and then I painted, uh, about 8 different, uh, colors, uh, you know,
the crayons that are sticking up, it will be the headboard
Uh-huh.
I guess he's young.
and then,
yes
He's about 5 and a half years old.
Oh, he'll be delighted.
Oh, yeah.
Uh-huh.
Now I just have to finish it though.
I got, uh, it got delayed for a little bit and, uh, because of work
and now, uh, I've got to jump back in and finish the,
because I've got it all cut out,
it's all, uh,
I've done most of the coloring
but I've got to go a second layer with the yellow.
Did you do it with a jigsaw
or do you have powered, you know, a,
Uh, yeah.
Uh, I did, uh, jigsaw, uh, and the, uh, regular straight saw for some of it.
Um.
So yeah.
to do the, uh, the turn cut.
Uh, how about yourself?
Well I'm, I am interested in woodworking.
I don't have lots of tools.
Our local schools have adult education in the evening
Oh.
uh, and I use their tools and, some of their guidance.
I'm an artist.
Oh, okay.
And I'm very handy
and, you know, if I touch it, it turns into something <laughter> us-, usually.
That's great.
What, what type of art do you focus on?
I have a Master's degree
and, and my projects had to do with acrylic painting,
but I'm really interested in the crafts.
Huh.
I make stain glass.
I've done some silver jewelry making
and I kind of,
once I get you know, really pretty good at something, I want to try something else
Yeah.
Kind of jack of all trades, master of none.
Yeah,
well no,
actually, I get good enough to sell it or have people say oh wow,
you didn't buy it,
you made it.
That's great!
And then I, it's like well the thrill is gone
so let's do something else.
Right.
You want to, uh, explore a new field
or, or,
Well, yeah,
I, I'm signed up for a class in pottery making because I've never tried that yet
Huh.
So you have a M F A in, in what division of art?
but,
Well, I, I actually have a Masters of art
and it's in art education.
Oh, okay.
So, I'm a licensed teacher
but jobs being what they are, I substitute teach
Yeah.
and that way I have time for my kids too.
And I've been fortunate that I can afford to work part-time.
I don't know how long that's going to last
Oh, yeah.
And, uh, they're cutting back,
so I don't go in all that often
but I've been real interested in some of those cute country, country kind of things.
