Haha... Yeah. With leather oil. Maybe. If you wear it a lot, perhaps once every year or two.
He Created Wisdom , I think, Before Creating the world and all things and all life...
Amen brother. It is good to admire one's own work. I admire God's handiwork also, in the beauty of the 10 trillion mile wide nebulas in the universe all the way down to the microscopic.
Also, your cabins are pretty cool. You could sell the blueprints/designs for other cabin builders and have the design spread to the Midwest and East Coast.Gary also makes some really nice rustic furniture. He's really skilled carpenter.Amen brother. It is good to admire one's own work.

I really like the stuff you build. It's way beyond my skill level. I've built a few things but not anywhere close to the level of what you build. I'm far more technically inclined as in mechanically, electrically, and with refrigeration systems. such as heat pumps,. ACs. furnaces, and walk ins, reach ins. Ice makers, control systems and the like. I did that for 20 years until I got hurt and then had to stop as the job requires some really heavy lifting at times. It was a big blow when I couldn't do it any more because I was really good at it and enjoyed it.
Agreed. Would be nice if more people were like him. Artists make the coolest friends in my opinion.
I think it's way beyond skill level
Sorry, but it was no struggle for me to learn about about electricity. It seems God gave me an aptitude for it, just like He did with the refrigeration cycle. I took a test at a training seminar put on by a heat pump and airconditioner manufacturer and I aced it. When he handed the tests back he told me in in front of the class that in all his tears of doing training he'd only had one other guy ace the test. Did that ever give me a big head. And cut short my training seminar. Instead of two days of being paid to sit in the class someone told the boss and I had to go back to work the next day.
He wasn't going to pay wages for me to sit when he could get production out of me.Yeah. I can understand. My first wood working project still lives, or so I am told. My step daughter has it and uses it to keep indoor plants on. I built in the early to mid eighties our of pine. Used dadoed joints, glue, and screws to hold it together; I built it out of pine without any plans, if if I remember right.
I've always coveted Shopsmith lathes
If I was to do it all over again I'd buy a dedicated wood lathe. They are just a much better tool for the job. A Shopsmith is nice if you're really cramped for room, but dedicated tools are much better. I bought an old radial arm saw in the early 90's and had to clean it up as the guy that I bought it fron had last used it afor cutting brick. It was full of grit. It was an old DeWalt from the 50's or early 60's and I wish I had never sold it; Once it was cleaned up it was as smooth as silk.
IMO that's the only way to build 'em
