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…

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!"

spot on rcc,ive got some millenials working for me and theyd rather go home than work and get some overtime.just no motivation anymore.then they cry about not being able to get ahead! ill say how about working harder and they say why,whats it gonna get us? i guess there waiting for the inheritance.i hate to say but im goin out with my last dime,get off your ass and make your own life.it's a sad ass generation,but whats scarey is,there the ones that will be taking care of us someday.

 

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?

- Desert_Woodworker

Ha! Ya think ya know me? Well yes…I will say that charcoal is superior…but when you grill at least 4 nights a week like I do…convenience becomes an issue. So yea…my shame DW…but I've gone to the propane dark side.
But good one about the smoking aspect….Just had to take down a hickory a few months ago…so who knows what holds in the future?

"There the ones that will be taking care of us some day."

Thanks for that Pottz. Won't be sleeping tonight. Maybe I'll just go hang out at Kubrick's milk bar.

 

And…do they deliver…?

Good point. Living in the sticks has its drawbacks. Crappy internet and no pizza delivery guys.

and if your milk-drinking becomes a social problem… then they will cure you…

 

Bandit May as well start the finish. I doubt the dust ever settles in your shop ;-))

Fights in 14 hour hamburger lines is good news. Here in WW a guy was targeted for robbery and followed home by 2 lowlifes. He was shot and killed. Fortunately the low lives were caught when they went to the hospital. A 22 yo stabbed and killed his 11 yo brother. Fights in the hamburger lines is welcome relief.

Good one corelz125 I'm sure she's gonna crap. ;-))

 

Good night from D_W

 

I use propane I dont wanna wait for the charcoal to heat up. Want my burgers fast. HF clamps there WB?

In-N-Out in 14 HOURS! Burger chain opens its first two Colorado outlets leading to fights and epic lines as people joke it s quicker to drive to California

Top Max your commentary would be appreciated…

- Desert_Woodworker

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.

I know it makes me a sick man that I actually have the DVD, but the film's one of my all time deep dark secret favorites. Roddie McDowell (sp?) was brilliant in that film. Wife doesn't much like it though… what's up with that?

 

My wife and I have a system that works well for the two of us. Once a week I cook on the charcoal grill and prep the meats. During the week we reheat and she makes the sides. Simple but effective and gives me burgers and chicken and such to take to work for lunch.

Thanksgiving is same thing. I will cook the bird in the oven, then cut and prep. She will come in after that is done and do the sides. Shortly after we sit down and enjoy our meal. Much later some wine and maybe dessert.

Yeah…rural America, bending over and taking it from Amerigas. Don't get me started. I gotta haggle the price with them every year.
Filet…medium rare. And make it snappy. ; )

 

and as far as smoking thats a whole different game gents,now were talkin low and slow,with hardwoods,not that pellet crap,who even knows what is in a "pellet" !

 

Good night from DW

- DesertWoodworker

G'nite DW. That's a sweet pic.

 

In preparation for this upcoming project I am looking for ideas and input. I own 3 drills presses. A floor model JET 17 inch, WEN benchtop 12 inch and finally a Delta benchtop 8 inch. Currently I have the two benchtops on a cabinet that sits 34 inches tall. The quill is at eye level, bit tall for me by 6 inches. My idea is to line these up along a 45 inch gap. Bit tight but that is all the available room. To line them up requires a 24 inch cabinet with 4 inch wheels. On top of that cabinet I will need a riser for the small Delta.

Any thoughts on lining them up this way, or suggestions? I know some will ask why keep them? Well I have yet to get rid of a piece of functional equipment. Having extra has been a bonus for me. Plus it is nice to have one set up for metal work only.

Here is current set up. I like the height for the quill on the JET, as you can see the WEN is a rather large benchtop model. Got it for $100 recently. Only issue was broken switch box which I repaired and the unit was ready to go.

Truth, smoking's beyond my culinary skillset, but I have a friend that's really into it, and sends me foodie picks just to torture me. " I'd invite ya over but ya know this whole virus thing… " "Friend, " defined loosely. I got him back though. We went to Maine for three weeks and I bombarded him with photos of our vacation.

So you'll be lining them up to your preferred jet table setting? Ie. All three lined up, the bench tops on the wheeled cabinet?

 

And no explanation necessary regarding keeping them all. My tools are my buddies. They're in it for life. ; )

good too know im not the only one with a tool fetish….....wait what am i saying ,this is lumber-tool fatish-jocks !!!!

That is my idea. Now order is up for grabs. Current order is just where I had a clear spot when the WEN came along. Had to move the Delta to this side of shop to make room on other side of shop for a new Benchtoop RIKON 10 inch Bandsaw. My larger 14 inch JET BS is now set up for resaw work, the little guy handles all the odd jobs.

Well, not sure what to add beyond obvious storage etc. in the cabinet…but that's definitely your forte anyway.
One thought, if it's OK to fix the two bench top heights permanently, would be to build a table and fence set up that includes both presses. That would give you lots of material support. Angles and adjustable heights could still be a achieved with your Jet.
