Clinton T-Ball Tigers – on a roll

Score at the end of the second inning = 18-2! I think the final was something like 18-14 in our favor. Cam hit well and scored two runs I believe. I’ve posted pictures @ Picasa Web Albums  http://picasaweb.google.com/derek.melton/ClintonTBallTigersApril242008

Greenpete’s Knife Making

This is a 4 part series by “GreenPete” on YouTube. He takes a very primitive approach but I really like it. I think there is something to be said for making a knife with files and other simple tools that makes you much more aware of each step in the process.
