Paw Paw's Watch

One of my most used tools in the shop is a watch. I've been doing a lot  of gluing up the past couple of days and I use the watch to monitor my clamp time. 

The watch I use (pictured above) was my grandfather's. We all called him Paw Paw. He lived in the Florida Keys for many years, and I have a vivid image of this watch on his dark-tanned arm. He wore it all the time, and after all these years it still works great (yep..it's a Timex). I'm glad to have it in my toolkit.

The gluing-up I have been doing has been putting face-frames on the kitchen cabinets I'm building. The pictures below show the progress.
