B: Oh, okay. | switchboard |
A: So, I'm a licensed teacher | switchboard |
A: but jobs being what they are, I substitute teach | switchboard |
B: Yeah. | switchboard |
A: and that way I have time for my kids too. | switchboard |
A: And I've been fortunate that I can afford to work part-time. | switchboard |
A: I don't know how long that's going to last | switchboard |
B: Oh, yeah. | switchboard |
A: And, uh, they're cutting back, | switchboard |
A: so I don't go in all that often | switchboard |
A: but I've been real interested in some of those cute country, country kind of things. | switchboard |
A: Uh, I see stuff in craft galleries for five hundred dollars | switchboard |
A: and I say, oh no | switchboard |
A: and , and I go | switchboard |
A: and I make it. | switchboard |
B: Yeah. | switchboard |
A: That's how I started jewelry making. | switchboard |
A: I, I love to cook. | switchboard |
B: Oh, that's great. | switchboard |
A: And I saw a silver necklace that had these little teeny weeny silver spatulas and, and, and knife and, and a fork and all kinds of stuff | switchboard |
A: and I went | switchboard |
A: and I signed up for class because then again, you get, you know, get someone to guide you | switchboard |
A: and you get the tools you don't feel like buying. | switchboard |
B: Exactly. | switchboard |
A: And I made a necklace that I saw in a gallery for three hundred twenty dollars | switchboard |
A: It took me a lot of time | switchboard |
A: but it didn't, | switchboard |
B: Oh, yeah. | switchboard |
A: but if it cost me twenty dollars, you know, | switchboard |
A: and then I, | switchboard |
B: And your time, | switchboard |
B: then you're that much farther ahead | switchboard |
A: Yeah. | switchboard |
A: Then I saw a, one of these country looking wood watermelons. | switchboard |
A: It was a solid watermelon with a wedge cut out of it. | switchboard |
B: Right. | switchboard |
B: I've seen them | switchboard |
B: and then the watermelon, the red with the, with the seeds painted in | switchboard |
B: and, | switchboard |
A: Oh, yeah. | switchboard |
A: Uh-huh. | switchboard |
B: That's neat. | switchboard |
A: I went there, | switchboard |
A: we have Home Depot out here. | switchboard |
A: I don't know if you've heard of it. | switchboard |
A: I went | switchboard |
A: and I got two six foot inch thick boards turned into a watermelon. | switchboard |
B: Yes. | switchboard |
B: We have one. | switchboard |
A: I had to cut into slabs and build up this big square and turn it on the lath | switchboard |
A: and cutting that wedge out was no joke | switchboard |
B: Huh. | switchboard |
B: Oh, I'm, I'm sure. | switchboard |
A: We did it on a, I had a, uh, I did it through Adult Ed again. | switchboard |
B: A band saw? | switchboard |
B: What? | switchboard |
A: I did it through Adult Ed again. | switchboard |
B: Uh-huh. | switchboard |
A: And the teacher was one of these negative people, | switchboard |
A: oh that's dangerous, | switchboard |
A: we can't do that, | switchboard |
A: we just can't do that. | switchboard |
A: And I'm going well how about this way? | switchboard |
A: I, I want to do that, | switchboard |
A: that was the plan here | switchboard |
B: Right. | switchboard |
A: So we did get the wedge cut out by building some kind of a cradle for it. | switchboard |
B: A cradle for it. | switchboard |
B: Yeah, | switchboard |
B: so you can steady it | switchboard |
B: and then, you used a handsaw or a backsaw? | switchboard |
A: Well, it, the instructions in the book I had said use a coping saw | switchboard |
A: but there's no coping saw big enough to, for a fourteen inch wide watermelon <laughter> that | switchboard |
B: Right, | switchboard |
B: right. | switchboard |
A: and he wanted me to do it by hand with a regular saw. | switchboard |
A: I said I'm not that steady, | switchboard |
A: it's not going to happen. | switchboard |
B: Yeah. | switchboard |
A: So we built a cradle for it | switchboard |
A: and we got once it was turned, we got one one cut out on the table saw, on the radial saw, | switchboard |
A: by getting the other one out without the slice now flying in your face was something you had to think about | switchboard |
B: Right. | switchboard |
A: So, | switchboard |
B: Now did you cut a quarter wedge in this? | switchboard |
A: Uh, I'd say it's about an eighth. | switchboard |
A: You know | switchboard |
B: Well, I, I'm envisioning, uh, uh, a a watermelon like a log | switchboard |
B: and then, uh, what I've seen of this kind before is you have the, uh, the, uh, | switchboard |
B: it's, uh, | switchboard |
B: if you're looking at adding on you have, | switchboard |
A: Up here in Rochester, uh, we're the second cleanest metropolitan city as far as air pollution. | switchboard |
A: I think Grand Rapids was number one. | switchboard |
A: Uh, we really don't have too much of a problem as far as, uh, industry since we're pretty technologically based as far as our industry in the city here. | switchboard |
A: But we do have the same problem a lot of other areas up here in the northeast have | switchboard |
A: and that is the effects of acid rain. coming basically from coal plants in Ohio and Illinois and Indiana. | switchboard |
B: Right. | switchboard |
B: Well, that's true. | switchboard |
B: Actually down here we don't have a big problem with, uh, with air pollution. | switchboard |
B: Mainly because we don't have anybody to to either side of us. | switchboard |
