...ends up in a historical museum.


Last year, a friend showed me an article about a new show our local Lane County Museum was putting together about the “localâ€

Great story Roger! (I am going to try to order your book on line again. I tried a couple of times before, but I could never get the site to accept my credit card! Maby the third time will be the charm!)

I am glad to see that someone at the museum wants to give you your due for those "good old days"!

Where did all the time go? Seems like just yesterday we were all doing woodworking, art fairs, discovering the hippy life, etc. . . . . .

roger ,what a great story, thanks for sharing it with us, i would like very much to see some of your wood work projects.

Well, Roger

You lead a great life and now your in the second half and it's looking good

Totally awesome, man, and the hits keep right on coming!

Hey Roger...thank you for sharing this...you've lived some cool things that most people only dream about and never have the courage to try. Your jewerly is beautiful. Do you still make it or sell it?

I really LOVE wood working. I had a wood working business for about 10 years. Some stuff my dad taught me before he died and the rest is self taught, so I'm still an amateur but love making things from wood and hope to setup my shop again once I get myself situated on the land I bought last summer.

Being with someone 17 years is quite an accomplishment especially now days. It sounds like you two have what it takes for each other...respect. Good for you guys!

Ye know, that guy w/a bird on his bill looks like he's maintained pretty much the same perspective as the guy in the display case... Quite an accomplishment, and the bird definitely adds distinction! <g>

Roger,

Very cool story!

The jewelry is excellent! I like how you made your own sign out of the wire also.
Thanks for posting.

Nice story! I really like the toy housetruck! Where did you find it..or did you make that too?

Bob,
The model housetruck is built on 1" scale. Its not finished yet, more to do on it. All ready thinking of doing a model fifth wheel housetrailer.



















This model is at the museum until sept. but when I get it back I will try to finish it. Mean time maybe I will start on that model fifth wheel housetrailer.

Wayyy cool Roger! ♥

Thank you for sharing! That is WAY cool!

You have some extraordinary talents, Roger, thanks for sharing!

Very inspiring story Roger.

I got see the exhibit at the museum just as I was finishing my skoolie. You have been a huge inspiration in our quest to break free from the conventional lifestyle. It is encouraging to see people getting by on there own creativity and not having to be a slave to some McJob that they can't stand.

The cabinet shop sounds like another labor of love. It is so important to enjoy the work you do. So few people actually enjoy there work even though it's what they are doing most of the time. They just keep doing it because they are so dependent on the money.

This example of an alternative lifestyle that you have given seems much closer to happiness than any of the examples I watched while growing up.

Thank you for your creativity and inspiration. You have touched more people than you could possibly know.
