Odd Job Accident

Little Bucky was patiently waiting his next coat of paint in the painting workshop.

When he was dry enough, I flipped him upside down so I could paint the underneath parts. However, I forgot that one of his antlers was not attached to his head. It fell out.

I photographed it, texted Ignacio, and confessed.

Little Bucky was a little dismayed, but he appeared to be used to only having one antler.

Phooey. Why did I say yes to this job??

Ignacio suggested superglue, so that’s what I did. I also asked him if he still had the other piece from when it broke previously so I could glue it for him. He didn’t, and asked if I could make him a new one!

When I said, “From what?”, he replied, “Wood”. I reminded him that I am not a carver, but work in pencil, oil paint, and murals. 

Maybe I should have added superglue to the list.

  1. Isn’t that how it always goes? You start a remodel/renovation, then find something else that needs to be done, then find something else that needs to be done, then find something else that needs to be done, ad infinitum!

    (Does Trail Guy carve wood? I bet he would be good at it!)

    • Trail Guy’s preferred wood tool is a chainsaw; second best is a splitting maul. He is good at locating Gorilla glue when I have an accident.

      • Senor Heffe loves silicone, JB Weld, Gorilla Glue and his sanders????
