RCC, That is cocobolo, works nice on boxes w wrap around grain. " My dad taught me all I know about exterior illumination" (Christmas Vacation, Chevy Chase classic)
DW , thanks for the video, I am now pumped up, to do the next phase of exterior illumination.
Potz, sorry about your turkey
Nailgunner, welcome. Your name reminds me of the time when I bought a nail gun for my bro-in-law (he had a huge compressor for car tools), I showed him how to use it, and said don t go crazy because it is cool to shoot nails, I came back and the door trim he just put up had 100 s of nails in it!
Corlez thanks for the jokes
Topmax it amazes me how those cattle guards are so effective. In Katonah I lived next door to the John Jay homestead. They built a "ha-ha" to do the same thing. I bet know one knows what that is.

Thanks…a beautiful wood!
And of course! The house preferred Christmas Special…this brain's been idle too long….

 

Sneak a peek?

Before it gets posted as a Project…..

Nice…really nice. I love using raised panels. Something about the mortise and tenon construction and playing with boards to match the grain is really satisfying. Can't wait for the post!

 

Maybe a PIP….?

Lid prop in use…there is "Back-up" available..

Cedar floor is installed..

Still needs a few coats of a clear gloss poly on everything on the outside….

waiting on the dust in the shop to settle down….

 

Love the prop…and how it's the lid for another compartment. No matter how long I wait for that dust to settle down, Im always dealing with a few "nibs"… Lucky are the fortunate few that have a separate, "filtered" space for finishing.
Good luck!

 

This year We are doing Thanksgiving at our friends from San Francisco place. Also coming are a family from Denver CO., a couple from Austin TX., and a mystery family whom I havent met yet from Lansing MI.

So, I will be the Only >One from the Original 13. My Bud from Denver did go to Yale, but that doesnt count.

There are probably restrictions here about how many people can gather, and We Dont care. FookEm.

yeah there telling everyone here the same thing,single family get togethers only,and dont travel.we'll see how many listen and if creates a bigger surge than we already have.

 

So, continuing….
(Hello?) ..."Susie? Susie Cream Cheese?"…(Who's this? / Wrong number pal/Hey kid, you called last week and I let Prince Albert free already)... "This your conscience baby" ..and then we'd roll around laughing like the idiot kids we were. Stupid kids, rainy days, Ma Bell, and Frank Zappa adding up to one almost forgotten memory.

When we were stupid kid stories are the best…especially the ones that you were lucky enough to have survived. ; )

- RCCinNC

oh man you just revived an old memory of us doing the same thing,we were about 7 or8 i think,we thought it was real funny.

 

Sister Mary Katherine lived in a nunnery, a block away from Jack's liquor store.

One day, in walked Sister Mary K. and said, "Oh Jack, give me a pint o' the brandy."

"Sister Mary Katherine," exclaimed Jack, " I could never do that! I have never sold alcohol to a nun in my life!"

"Oh, Jack," she responded, "it's only for the Mother Superior."

Her voice dropped. "It helps her constipation, you know."

So Jack sold her the brandy. Later that night, Jack closed the store and walked home.

As he passed the nunnery, who should he see but Sister Mary Katherine. And she was snookered.

She was singing and dancing, whirling around and flapping her arms like a bird, right there on the sidewalk.

A crowd was gathering. Jack pushed through and exclaimed, "Sister Mary Katherine! For shame! And you told me this was for the Mother Superior's constipation!"

Sister Mary Katherine didn't miss a beat as she replied, "And so it is, me lad, so it is. When she sees me, she's gonna crap."

good one bud,i went right past this earlier.years ago the place i worked there was a sister that ran a soup kitchen near or store and she would come in time to time looking for donations,most of the talking was done in the owners office with a bottle of whisky.all in the name of the lord of course-lol.

 

self-delete

 

Finished up the last of 3 pieces in this drawer. This is a tray, or flip[ it over and it is ready to be used as bit storage if needed. ya never know.

 

Moving on to this concrete bit box I need to make. Glued up the frame then glued a top and bottom to it. It's in there somewhere under the clamps.. LOL

 

Wife bought me this Freud set for some box joint work. Upgrade from my well used Craftsman set. Installed and did few test cuts, nice..

I dunno that any burger is worth waiting in line for 14 hours. Myself I just make my own on the charcoal grill, make extra so I can have more later.

 

yeah the in n out craze,i dont get it,the burgers are good but not crazy good,and the fries are the worst you'll ever eat.id say if the line is more than 15 minutes go to mc donalds-lol.

14 hrs are people corona crazy or what! the world has gone nuts.

 

How much time would you wait for… the item such as food, retail shopping and so on… As a society today "we want it NOW".

We have gone through, as a society, social turmoil from BLM to In-and-Out… and it keeps on coming…

Clockwork Orange

Your bit organization looks like furniture. And you'll love the box joint set. Some great jig designs here or elsewhere if you haven't done so already!
Now that I know you're a mechanic Gunny, I get the organization. Friend of mine who was installing a crate engine into an e250 had the whole front end pulled off, bolts and screws in boxes. I asked him how he kept it all straight. He just smiled and pointed at his head.
...In my dreams…; )

Funny you should say that…beyond the whole social turmoil aspect…no one's patient anymore. For example…
and something my wife read and passed on to me.
In our parents generation, if they were given a reward for the quality of there work that gave them the day off, they'd pin the notice to the cork board above their desk, and be proud of the recognition but likely never use it. In our generation, we'd use it, but plan it carefully so as to add to a planned vacation. Our kids? " Cool! I'm outta here!"

Absolutely. My quarter pounder is usually twice that and a heck of a lot better too. So Pottz, are you a hard core charcoal man, or is propane acceptable as an alternative?
Seriously. People fight over this topics too. ; ).

Caution my Captian… this boy is from the South… Correct answer charcoal but ask him are we grilling or smoking?

 

Next concern are there any pizza places open on Thanksgiving?

 

Ummm, Negative. In fact I plan on smoking 2 cigars that night….

- woodbutcherbynight

Be honest- will you smoke them in house, if so does the wife agree…

You re a military man- have you ever study Gen Curtis LeMay and why he posed with that cigar? hint Bells Palsey

- Desert_Woodworker

Sneaking back into the archives for this response DW. For a guy who has Bells Palsy that's no hint, that's a gimme. ; ) I suspect one side of his mouth drooped due to the paralysis…the cigar hid that?
I first noticed it years ago when I blinked, and noticed my left eye wouldn't shut all the way. Some people recover, some don't. I'm better, but the eye thing still exists and I've got a crooked smile. Not cigar worthy though. ; )
