Ham Radio / Video

Since high school, I have been into radio scanning. in 1996 I bought a study guide for ham radio. I believe it was the “No-Code” edition from Radio Shack. That is the test change that let non-morse code kids get a ham ticket.

Radio Shack No-Code FCC Test Prep

It took me 21 years and Hurricane Harvey to get serious about getting my FCC license. Thanks to my wife for the surprise birthday gift! My first radio was a Baofeng walkie-talkie radio. Ham radio has been a good learning experience.

The video in this post is a combination of my video production merging with my ham radio hobby. Baofeng was looking for some product videos from youtube and we were happy to put this video together.

Frank Lloyd Wright Origami Chair

Back in 2006 my wife and I went to Las Vegas for wedding video training. This was a long road trip with a few sweet stops. We stopped by Frank Lloyd Wright’s western headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona. This was the first time for me to sit in a Frank Lloyd Wright Origami Chair. The other name for the seat is the “upholsterer chair”

One day I would love to own a pair of chairs like this. The comfort factor was nice.

J. D. Wallace & Co. Table Saw

Years ago, I think 2006 I bought a table saw on Ebay. It is a J.D. Wallace & Co Universal Saw. It is a 10 inch table saw.


This post is here to share images from my restoration and use of the saw today. It had been my shop saw for over 9 years and running.

Thanks for reading.
