Vern turned 85 today and had lunch with his boys and Beth Mayer to celebrate. Although he’s not active in the shop these days he’s doing well and enjoying the easy living of Minnesota summer...

This acoustic cell phone amplifier raises the volume of a cell phone by an average of 8-10 decibels, and improves the sound quality as well. There is also a channel built in to run a power cable, so you can also use this as a charging station. It is constructed of beautiful, locally harvested air dried walnut wood. Vern is on hiatus from the woodshop currently, but his grandson will be making a limited number of these for the holiday shopping season. These are available for $45 + shipping and handling (or free local pickup). Please send a private message if you are interested. Or, if you want to make one yourself, you can find free instructions here: https://youtu.be/yRHdsFFNo-I.

Vern is taking a temporary hiatus from woodworking so that he can spend more time on golfing, bowling and fishing. So his grandson Joey is stepping in to fill some orders. This first order under Joey includes 3 cutting boards that will be heading to Finland as gifts to represent Minnesota craftsmanship. Way to go Joey!!!

Here is Vern (far right) as "Prince of the West Wind" representing St. Paul's Palace Playground. Circa 1950ish. Funny thing is that he hasn't really changed that much since 1950!

Vern, at age 82, is building for the future by adding a Laguna bandsaw to his shop. "Last year I had a hard time keeping up with the demand, particularly during the holiday rush. The powerful Laguna 14|12 will help me keep my inventory up during busy stretches. It's hands down my dream bandsaw!" Go Vern go!!! , , , , ,

When Vern isn't making sawdust he is making time with his sweetheart. They celebrated 60 years of marriage, and here they are sharing some stories of their courtship over champagne in a limo while touring the scene of their first date, first kiss, and wedding! https://youtu.be/B6ZbFepo4Ak
