Hi Dave! Love everything you showed. Nice Work! Also, got to comment on the blue colors. My Wife's favorite colors - therefore mine also!

Loved the mailbox base without and with paint! Also the greenie display stand! Got a kick out of your snow shovel storage. Looks like a his and hers pair.

I moved my snow shovel from MT to South Texas, To So. Cal. Loved the looks I got when folks saw it. In the latter two destinations, it was used as a shield against getting "Roundup" on the plants I wanted to save. Now it's been trashed. It's necessity had disappeared.

Thanks for the photos!!

Nice work on all of your projects. I'll bet you got a lot of compliments from your neighbors, and probably some requests. Your restored machine is beautiful. By the way, it looks like you have second main table set up in place of the aux table on the right end. I'm curious, how's it work for you?
Thanks for sharing your projects. John McCrossen

Nice work Dave! I thought the "box" was a garden hose storage box until I read charlese's post! Nice catch Chuck!
