Hours on the Bombe?

11/23/2007 01:58 PM jimforan

Yo T, a big call out from New Brunswick, Canada.

I was wondering how many man-hours you expected the Bombe to take before you started? How many do you think now?

Podcast is awesome.

Later

that's some serious time.

After all this effort you've put in, knowing you have a big mistake coming makes even ME feel sick, so you must be ready to burn it down :) That really sucks, dude. Looking forward to seeing how you get around it.

Tommy,
Don't feel bad about bein' off on the time frame. My wife is always tellin' me to double whatever time I think I'm gonna take. (cuz I screw up)...Anyway, she's right, then if I finish early...Gravy!

Still cuttin' my teeth.

Hey Tommy, I'm currently building my shop( a decent 30x40). I've got a construction background and most of my
"woodworking" has been trim work. My wife and I renovated a 1910 Craftsman and I fell in love with wood. I know, I'm weird, you're not the first to think it.
I've only made a few small things for the old house. We sold that, moved to the country. My wife got a pool and I got a shop. I'll post as soon as I create something worth sharing. So keep teachin' me the craft. Hope you get a paycheck soon. I don't see a way of donating to your podcast. Is there a way? I'll buy ya dinner.
