WELCOME TO ONE LEG RUSS WEBSITE:    

Through my faith in Jesus Christ, and my faithful participation in Celebrate Recovery, the Holy Spirit has given me the strength to take my most embarrassing, darkest, deepest, secrets, that I could not tell anyone, and has made that my public Ministry. He is Lord!!!

This homemade music video tells the story of how this all started.

Matthew 4:19

.......and he said, "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men,"

(When fishing for the King...

don't be afraid to try different bait.)

"What happens to a man is less significant than what happens within him"

   ME WITH A BUDDY KOKO.                                       

ONE OF MY HOBBIES IS WOODWORKING. I HAVE POSTED SOME PHOTO'S OF SOME OF MY PROJECTS. 

HERE IS ONE OF MY FIRST PROJECTS. 

THIS TABLE WAS BUILT FROM SOME OAK THAT I HAD LEFT OVER FROM BUILDING SOME HORSE STALLS.

ALTHOUGH THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WOODWORKING, i SPENT 2 WEEKS PAINTING OUR BARN ROOF. JUST ME, A LADDER, SOME ROPE, AND AN AWFUL LOT OF NERVE. tHIS WAS ONE OF THOSE PROJECTS THAT WHEN IT WAS ALMOST COMPLETE, I STARTED TO RELAX UP THERE A LITTLE.

i HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO ATTEMPT CARVING BUT EVERYTHING I CARVED TURNED OUT TO LOOK LIKE A PITIFUL DOG. WHILE WATCHING AN EPISODE OF THE WOODWRIGHT I FOUND OUT ABOUT A METHOD CALLED CHIP CARVING. IT IS  A LOT EASIER FOR US NOVICE CARVERS. I MADE THIS HORSE HEAD OUT OF A PIECE OF WALNUT THAT WAS MILLED BY CINDY'S GRANDFATHER IN 1928.

OUT OF THAT SAME WALNUT I MADE MY MOTHER IN LAW 2 CANDLE SCONCES AND CHIP CARVED SOME ROSES IN THEM.  

HERE IS A VIDEO CASSETTE CABINET I BUILT FOR A HALLWAY.

JULY 18, 2006: IN MAY I STARTED TO BUILD A NEW WOODWORKING SHOP. WHEN FINISHED IT WILL LOOK LIKE WALLY'S SERVICE STATION. THIS IS A PROJECT THAT I AM JUST TAKING MY TIME WITH SO THERE WILL BE MANY UPDATES. HERE IS A SERIES OF PHOTO'S OF THE PROGRESS SO FAR. MANY, MANY THANKS TO LYNN, TODD, GARY, RICK B., KEVIN, RICK H.  MIKE, JAMES, AND SHANE FOR ALL THE HELP WITH THE WALLS AND ROOF.

August 3, 2007: THERE HAVE BEEN MANY CHANGES TO MY SHOP SINCE THE LAST UPDATE. IT IS STARTING TO TAKE THE SHAPE OF WALLY'S SERVICE FROM MAYBERRY. LAST SATURDAY WE DROVE TO BLOOMINGTON ILLINOIS TO PICK UP A POP COOLER FOR IN FRONT OF THE SHOP. HERE ARE 2 CURRENT PHOTO'S.

I AM CURRENTLY MUDDING THE DRYWALL AND PAINTING THE INSIDE. I HOPE TO HAVE SOME PHOTO'S OF THE INSIDE NEXT UPDATE.

JANUARY 7, 2007: IN MY SPARE TIME :) I BUILT A MANTEL AND AM CURRENTLY BUILDING A FIREPLACE WITH BOOKCASES ON EACH SIDE ON A WALL IN OUR HOUSE. THIS PROJECT INVOLVES EVERY ASPECT OF CONSTRUCTION. FRAMING, MASONRY, FINISH WORK, AND TRIM. THE TRICKY PART IS GETTING THIS ALL TO FIT A SOMETIMES CROOKED 100 YEAR OLD HOUSE. HERE IS WHERE I AM RIGHT NOW. AFTER I GET BACK ON MY FEET I WILL TRY TO FINISH THIS PROJECT BEFORE THE WEATHER WARMS UP THIS SPRING.
