Jeff,

Where did you get the sheet cork? 

Doug

Most building stores have it. I got mine at Lows. they are 2'x4' rolls. Mine is 2mm but they sell 4mm and 8mm, also you can get it in 4'x8' rolls.

You can also get at craft stores like AC Moore.  I imagine Hobby Lobby or Michaels probably has also

Look everyone!  I'm still alive!!


We had Craft Night at the kitchen table the other night, so I pulled out some of the million or so resin kits I have in the drawer and did a little painty paint...

A couple weeks ago I dashed off the painting in the background.  Wanted to splash out a couple of happy little trees...

A little weathering done yesterday while watching some of the best NCAA Football in years.




Nicely done.

I spend Sunday helping to host Rand Hoven's layout for Tour de Chooch.  Weather was lousy, but we still had around 70 visitors come through.  It was fun (as usual).  :)

PS my 4 year old great-great grandson loves to run the funicular up and down - does keep him from pushing the trains.

One too many greats!

I've been working on getting a flexible drive quarterer and gear alignment tool. I'll release the plans as open source (non-commercial) when it's complete (if it works well).

See .. I couldn't do radio .. you guys move too much ..  the closest I came was working as an assistant engineer back when you had to have a 3rd class radiotelephone license with a broadcast endorsement ... I had  passed a 2nd class exam, so I could also tune the transmitters ..

Btw .. KFBD  Waynesville Mo .. hot country :)
