Keep it going for you guys. Let's keep the politics limited this time.

A young woman visits her parents and brings her fiancée to meet them. After an elaborate dinner, the mother tells her husband to find out about the young man.

The father invites the fiancée to his library for a drink. "So what are your plans?" the father asks the young man.

"I am a Torah scholar," he says. "A Torah scholar? Hmmm," the father says.

"Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in, as she is accustomed to?"

"I will study," the young man said, "and God will provide for us."

"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asks the father.

"I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replies. "God will provide for us."

"And children?" asks the father. "How will you support children?"

"Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replies the fiancée.

The conversation continues like this, and each time the father questions, the young idealist insist that God will provide.

Later, the mother asks: "How did it go, Honey?"

The father answers: "He has no job and no plans, but the good news is he thinks I'm God."

Just the one shelf Gunny or did 2 windows?

- corelz125
One of 2 maybe 3. This one holds 1 qt cans, the other window will hold spray cans. That one needs to be another 2 inches deeper. Same design though. Doesn't have to look like furniture with edges showing and such but I do intend to cover it with poly.

For the 8 ft long windows on the opposite corner I got two moving blankets from HF. Plan to put up 3/4 pipe and make them into curtains. Just to knock down some of the draft.

How about this- which did well-one must remember back in 2014 many LJocks were at odds on the CNC, While designing back then with a LJock named JBay- I posted and he added suggestions. I post this project in remembrance of a former LJock.

Good point and I get that question alot. Here is my take. While Plan A is to relocate to Ukraine in 17 months, Plan B would be to remain here because as you mentioned look at all the work I put into this place the last 27 years. Alot can go wrong in Ukraine and it is a situation that my wife's family monitors from the standpoint of do they want to move here rather than us move to them. Politically either side could go to hell in a handbasket. Plan C would be something coming along financially that gives me the ability to make a move and build my own shop to meet my requirements. We often joke about a wealthy relative will die and leave us money, or I will invent something that gets bought for the price of Amazon. LOL Recently my friend came into such a windfall. The land he owned was wanted by a major grocery store. After haggling over the price he came out with a sweet deal that left the grocery chain setting up the funding and getting his new place built with a shop. AND had a nice chunk left over so that he could work 4 days a week and is close to work. Ya never know what might happen.

I like that guy, and hear from him from time to time. Brilliant mind, really talented and creative guy. Some gave him hell for being brisk with his assessment or answers. It didn't go well. Wish I was 1/100 of the woodworker he is. LOL

Now as far as this table DW, when ya getting started???

WBN and others- we will all face changes, hopefully, the change will be our decision and not fate.. Gunny you are a soldier by training and a man of God- IMO hunker down in your safe zone and proceed with the knowledge that other people want your possessions… On a positive note give thanks for what we have…

Baby backs were good tonight.

Call me crazy, but I think I like St. Louis style rib better. I think it's the meat to bone ratio. Baby backs just have too much on top. The St. Louis style got to be cut right though.

- CWWoodworking
ive always done baby backs but maybe it's time too try something different.in most bbq competitions it's always saint luis style ribs.i think you just opened my eyes for something different.im in a rib rut bud-lol.
