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