Good Test Result

Here is what Christians refer to as a “praise report.” It came last night from Heather, whose mother had a test in connection with her treatment for cervical cancer:

I want to update everyone about today’s appointment.
Mom had her PET scan, her lungs are clear as are the other organs. Dr. Cottrill told us that there was just a small amount of involvement with some of the lymph nodes in the stomach area, however she feels fully confident that it will be taken care of by the raditation treatments.
We will get the schedule for those on Monday.
I know the Lord answers prayers. He answered mine today.
I thank you all for lifting us up in prayer. I wish I could give each and every one of you a great big hug!
I am eternally grateful for your prayers and for God’s Blessing.
God Bless,

Hard to top that. Thanks, everyone who joined in prayer.

I continue trying to locate a decent drill press that will give me good service for a very long time. It looks like used ones are just too hard to find and check out. There are two new ones that look good. One is the Steel City 20520, and the other is the Delta 20-950, which costs a lot more. The Delta has a lot going for it, but it does not have a split head design, so it probably can’t be fixed once it gets sloppy. The Steel City is smaller and less fancy, and the table isn’t as good, but it has a split head. I may just give up and get one.

Another alternative is to find a $50 Craigslist special and make do until a nice used one comes along.

Today I plan to finish my router insert/table saw extension. That will be fun. I may also make a planer sled. I’m wondering if I can use MDF. Seems like it should be more accurate than plywood.
