Boy: My final project is a birdhouse. Whaddaya think? Gandalf: YOU SHALL NOT PASS! After middle earth is saved, Gandalf begins teaching junior high woodshop part time.
Back when my boys took woodshop, I designed a couple of projects for them. They made me a nice hexagonal table with e speaker built in and a square hanging lamp with a 3-way switch and mini-lights in the upper section. Their teacher liked it so much he asked my permission to duplicate my drawings (that was back before CAD drafting, hand drawn).
I knew I liked you for some reason. I learned to play tuba in Jr. High, too. Your horn looks nicer than mine, though. Mine’s a 1937 King (3 piston valve) that looks like it came from a junk shop (which is where my folks found it). Still, it plays well enough, and after 40 years, I’m still playing.

For Gandalf’s birds, the house should be about 20’ high.

Love the sign…and yeah, always turn off your saur when you’re not sauring something.
Bruno….cos the next ±900 pages would be blank?

We’d be better served by putting him on border patrol in the SW.

I depends on your school district. In Canada at least, if they group the grades as 7-9 it’s Junior High, if it’s 6-8, it’s Middle School

I’d rather present a birdhouse to Radagast the Brown.
