A trivet? A three legged stand? What is that? What does that do?

You have access to Google, right? A trivet. Something you put a hot plate or pot on. But mine was handcrafted from wood, no hot plate or pot saw the surface of my trivet. Ethan Allen himself could not have constructed a finer trivet. (I stole that last line from a TV show, I admit.)

I was in 8th grade, dude, getting to work with saws and things. I found I had a knack.

I'll see if my 'rents still have my trivet (bet they do) and I'll photograph it for you, in all its fine workmanship.

I was in high school when The Knack released that god-awful My Sharonna.

With age, it is sometimes interesting to pull out something I built so many decades ago that I hardly remember it. In some cases (only some) I am impressed by how good I did. A response that goes, "I did that? ... Oh. ... Yea."
