THERE IS ALWAYS A NEED FOR A SAW HORSE.





We recently had a new carpet put down in our cabin.   Because of the increased thickness of the new carpet I had to pull three doors and take ½ inch of the bottoms.
 
Years ago when we moved here I built a set of saw horses and over the years have used them many times.
  
You can purchase saw horses but these are much more substantial and are made from scrap 2x4’s and a piece of plywood and can be disassembled, transported and stored easily

If you do DIY carpentry projects you will find these saw horses invaluable.

ZEN MASTERS ARE EVERYWHERE






A ZEN STORY

A student asked his Zen master how long it would take him to become enlightened.

The Zen master said ten years.

The student inquired how long it would take if he worked very hard all day every day.
 
The Zen master replied twenty years.



A ZEN BUZZARD STORY

A number of years ago I had a carpenter come over to my house to give me an estimate on installing a metal roof. 

The carpenter said he would do it for twenty dollars an hour. 

 I told him I was willing to help. 

He said it would then be thirty dollars.
