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" !

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.

- RCCinNC

too bad bud because i make baby backs that will make your heart skip a beat.the invitation is open ended so when this crap ends just say when and the smoker is lit.gonna spatchcock and smoke a turkey this year.usually smoke a prime rib for christmas,but i dont think the virus will be gone by then.hey your loss bud.

- pottz

Well looky here,...another "friend" defined loosely. Wanna see photos of our vacation in Maine? ; )-

- RCCinNC

loosely ??? i dont do loosely rcc,it s tight or nothing bud!

- pottz

Yeah, like you're really taking me seriously. I'd actual send some pics…cuz it's another hobby of mine, but the internet is having a stroke tonight.
But I'm gonna take you up on those ribs someday bud!

 

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.

- woodbutcherbynight

The WEN looks to have a pretty nice table height adjustment to it. That would probably be my primary woodworking drill press. If I mounted the little Delta on a riser block I might toy with the idea of it being on some heavy duty drawer slides. Could pull it forward to use it and push it back out of the way when not in use. That way it doesnt interfere with the WEN if you choose to outfit it with a table that includes a fence, t-track, stops, etc.

 

WBN…I hate doing this to ya but my East Coast time is catching up with me. Talk about the drill press ideas later though, OK?
And you Pottz…you have a good evening. I hope I'm not leaving you alone at the bar buddy.

G'nite guys!

thats pretty cool gunny.

 

Saturday night and the bar closes early?

 

local news, man saves his dawg from an alligator. Small dog say 5 lbs, small gator say 3 feet, man jumps in the water (underwater) grabs the gator, that had is dog in its mouth, drags it ashore and pried the dog loose. Amazing!

Boys vs. Girls today (golf) weather is fantastic, Boys up 14-11 for the year. Oh and we won at cards last night.

Sorry I missed you all at the bar, drinks were flowing here.

 

About friendship's Pottz…neither do I. Just a little "ribbing" my friend. ; )

I love that kind of thing….innovations in the shop that either expand a tools performance/ functionality are great.
Kind of like letting 007's "Q" loose amongst your tools. ; )

Well yeah Petey…no reason for apology. As much as I enjoy hanging out here, I'll take real over virtual any day. ; )
...Now that's a man who loves his dog….Wow.

 

May try to spread some varnish around, today….

A bit too nasty outside, to even think of going out, today…

 

Anybody go to church this morning?

 

November 22, 1963...

 

Anybody go to church this morning?

- Desert_Woodworker

Yes and no. Priest has a Zoom bible study sessions, one for daily life the other one is for my Orthodox Conversion Class. Attended both.

 

churches here are outdoor only but that may change today if the new numbers are too high.sounds like restaurants will be closed for outdoor dining again.

But and any form of protest is perfectly acceptable. All protocols are followed in extremis so protest do not spread Covid 19.

 

Notice from the pic of the Pilgrims… that they went with their firearms.

"In its colonial past, Georgia required men to take their guns to church.
Colonial Georgia had a law requiring that everyone eligible for militia service.."

from the article… TAKE YOUR GUNS TO CHURCH: THE SECOND AMENDMENT AND CHURCH AUTONOMY

https://digitalcommons.liberty.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1162&context=lu_law_review

Since it is Sunday, here is a verse from that article-

"And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there not here under
thine hand spear or sword? . . .And the priest said, The sword of
Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah,
behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt
take that, take it: for there is no other save that here. And David
said, There is none like that; give it me.'
And to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king David's
spears and shields, that were in the temple of the LORD. And the
guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, round
about the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left
corner of the temple, along by the altar and the temple."

 

Here is an idea for craftspeople-

or if you and your student are up to it

 

Bar is open in my house.

Boys lost to the girls. Now 14-12 on the year. I shot 46-37 = 83 could not get it going on the front.

What undermount drawer slides do you guys use? Wife wants slides, not wood runners, I don't want to hide dove tails. Undermount slides is what I am thinking. I would buy a quality product if I knew it was quality. Got any ideas?

We had a fire pit last night. Wood burning of course. Just cool enough to have a fire here.

Be safe out there.

I'm with DW on that. ..just don't have a heart attack when you price them. Definitely would be a shame to cover dove tails with sidemounts. You could set them back a bit I guess, but that would be a real pain if you're working with face frames.
Fire pit on my list of want to do's….stone surround with a steel insert. "Wood burning of course" ; ) Have any experience with quality inserts? Seems like the reviews are all over the place.

Stay safe back atcha Petey.
