They look really nice. Wish I had a heated workshop. We don't get winters like yours but it still gets far too cold to work in the garage. I designed and built a mud kitchen for my daughter during the holiday. The sink came from our old kitchen. I'd had it propped up on some bricks for her

I've said for some time that the K-5[x] cameras were quite likely the best camera with all the shooting controls that most anyone needed directly available. I wish that Ricoh could afford to take what would basically be the guts of a K-3, with some of the improvements in the K-3III, mainly

I did some shooting this afternoon, and rolled 30,000 exposures with my K-5. It will be 10 years old in June. My shooting pace is way slower than a lot of you, but it’s a bit of a landmark anyway. I ~really~ like this camera. Rick -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe

Very nice work, both the woodwork and the photography. Just don't let yourself get boxed in . About 20 years back I made several music boxes, and found it very satisfying. I also did so carving with soft stone. That was quite challenging and created a lot of dust. Keep up the nice work! Dan
