As I say good night… I look forward to waking up to a "Brian" post…

 

if we get another stimulus check for 1400k each i just might and let the gov.pay for my fun.

- pottz

You will be stimulatin the economy ;-)

- TopamaxSurvivor


Whose economy? China, their rent, food, and shelter-

HOW DID AMERICANS SPEND THEIR STIMULUS CHECKS AND HOW DID IT AFFECT THE ECONOMY?

https://www.pgpf.org/blog/2020/10/how-did-americans-spend-their-stimulus-checks-and-how-did-it-affect-the-economy

More importantly, the weather that has hit and almost crippled a part of fellow Americans- the Cold front.
Devastation, hardships, and remember follow the money- $$$ spent to "continue" even American commerce is stopping … If I am not mistaken are we not plentiful in natural gas?

"Where is a SawStop table saw made? SawStop is a US-owned company, and each table saw is engineered at our headquarters just south of Portland, Oregon. Every table saw is built in Taiwan to an unmatched set of tolerances."

Stimulates Portland, Oregon and Taiwan, with profits to Oregon at high risk of loss to looting ;-((

 

That is the flattest OSB I ever seen. Definitely didnt get that at HD.

- CWWoodworking

Yeah, certainly not the cheap stuff I get given to me. Can't complain though, have build couple buildings with scraps I got from neighbor and other friends for free.

 

Speaking of odd sheet goods, anyone ever use MDO? Menards carries it. I thought about using it for the top of my bench for its flattness, but Id probably spill coffee on it. 62$ sheet too.

- CWWoodworking

Never seen it but have heard about it. Made plenty of table tops with it's brother MDF. Common mistake I have seen is that few will take the time to edge band it with a hardwood to protect the edges.

 

there is no shame in using screw where needed,my god of woodworking sam maloof would use screws even in his famous rockers that sold for 25k or more.he was a common sense man period!

- pottz

Oh I agree and still use them. My take on it is the skill and challenge required to use as little as possible. Within reason of course. Recent build for my Dad was all glue and joinery, he was tickled pink I went that direction.

Does paint keep it from deteriorating in the rain?

 

CW that saw seems like a deal to me.

Pottz my ancestors where homesteaders in ND. IN Fort Myers they fly fish for big stuff like Tarpon. Snook

DW always good to run through what is dangerous and why. Radial Arm saw would be my # 1

Woke up at 4. Got to try and make a lid that is better.

Bandit I like those doors.

Corlez I am for Blum soft close. I had a hard time learning how to install, but they come out prefect. lots of adjustments available to you.

Pottz I need to know more about sanders and abrasives. I was thinking Rotex for my Festool extractor.

CWW MDO? what is that?

 

Sorry, DW, got nothing juicy for ya this morning.

A nice story:

My son goes to a fancy shmansy English-type private school. It is expensive. We are not uber rich like most of the other families that send their children to this school. Most of the parents are driving Benzes, Beemers, L-Rovers, Teslas, you know; and I drive 15 year old banged-up Toyota RAV. Money and Stuff is very low on my list of important things. No matter. Anyway, at this school they are training future Leaders, not robots - just barely able to push the buttons and fill your order at McD´s, as in public schools. They maintain very high standards.

I get an E-mail today from the school saying that the teachers have identified my Son as Gifted/Talented. Particularly in Science. Not bragging here, not being smug, just a proud Poppa.

There are list of criteria they use to make these assessments, one of which is: these types have no problem "correcting adults." Whereas Overachievers tend to be compliant. I think that is hilarious. I have taught my son the Arts of Debate and Logic, and the teachers often remark to me that my son is very good at this, sometimes too good. I have also taught him that he should question all information that comes from others, even if it comes from Me, because it is His life and He must sort it out for himself.

Now, they are gonna push him, to enable him to reach full potential - and I am sure he is going to push back.

Have a great day.

I will.

 

Congratulations Brian. That's the last thing my wife would tell me to buy another tool. Every time a box comes I hear what tool did you buy now. Pottz think the soft close would hold up when the kids were young?

 

Another, slightly funny story:

So, finally, I get some fish for this mosquito factory pond I built. Remember, this is a very small pond, so small fish. I got 8 of them, thinking, well, a test, to see if they die right away because the water is bad or something. I set them free, thinking, they will map their terrain for a bit, then start hammering these mosquito larvae. The mapping part done, they just find the nearest place to lay low, and stay low. I bought Lazy fish. Damn. Figures though, as they are Spanish fish.

 

Got woke up too early ( now grumpier) because my son got his Chevy Cruze stuck..trying to park when he got home from work….out front, where there WAS parking spots on a city street…..that he had pulled out of last night, to go to work….

Snoblower is a 20v cordless model….had to dig a path for him to go through…

BTW..we be getting another 1-3" of that white crap around here, today…..BAH, HUMBUG!

 

Dad gave me this nice LED swing arm light with magnifying glass.

 

Nice light Gunny you can now do some dental work to with that thing

+1 I have been thinking about one of these, very useful.

And we know Gunny has good tastes in choosing his staff- remember his bar staff recommendations?

the rotex is a great sander but for a lot less money and a sander thats just as good or some say better i went with the bosch,although the duck will argue that all day.

yeah if they were shown to just push the door until it stops and not try and force it.one thing is no more doors banging hard,especially when the wife is pissed at me-lol.

 

First a shout out to Gunny for his post on OSB- Thx I became more interested in it after your post last night-

Lessons to be shared today-

Five grades of OSB are defined in EN 300 in terms of their mechanical performance and relative resistance to moisture:

OSB/0 - No added formaldehyde
OSB/1 - General-purpose boards and boards for interior fitments (including furniture) for use in dry conditions
OSB/2 - Load-bearing boards for use in dry conditions
OSB/3 - Load-bearing boards for use in humid conditions
OSB/4 - Heavy-duty load-bearing boards for use in humid conditions

Videos on using it in the shop-

How to Get ….

Making an OSB Workshop Cabinet! Oriented Strand Board to the Rescue, Workshop Ep 4.

DIY EXPOY FINISH on OSB Side Tables

 

Nothing to say, nothing to add.
But I am way behind the rest of you on the number of posts

Me too ;-) If a box comes in something has to go. Actually, I need to downsize. Too much stuff left from contracting. I'll never do it again. Knees and hip wore out last time ;-(

Congrats on your son. We have a grandson that is "gifted." They don't know what to do with him. The school district is not capable of handling kids that are smarter than they are ;-))

He likes to read to take a break from everything. He would act up in class so they would send him to the principal's office. He took a book and read while he waited. They called our son about his behavior. Our son told them to quit sending him to the principal's office. The reason he is acting up is to get a break from the classroom. He has assignments completed in a few minutes. I'm not sure why they don't just leave him alone and let him read while he waits for the others to finish.

Public schools here are a disaster. Before WWII the world came to try to understand our elementary schools. Today they rank 94th in the world. When most kids only went to 8th grade, they had to pass a test that most high school seniors cannot pass today. I saw one of those tests about 25 years ago. They were questions about English languare that I had no idea how what they were takling about . Never covered it in any of my classes.

 

I hear ya, Topa. Not trying to be a thorn in the side here but in the US now, they rank 24th in Science, 36th in Math, out of the top 70 countries. When I was kid the US was consistenly in the top 5 worldwide. I could argue that this is all by design, but I will leave that alone.

The Fed Gov really only has three legit functions: Protect the borders, issue the currency (interest free), and provide a forum for the settlement of disputes. Otherwise, they should pipe down, and leave things to local communities. Wherever they meddle they always muddle.

Here is an FYI for you all:

Did you know that when China is allowed to loot the Forests of America, the rough lumber gets put on ships, and then is processed at sea on these ships. What do they do with the (hazardous) waste? They dump it in your Ocean. This all happens round about where Topa lives.

so sadly true when i was up in port washington back in the eighties you could see piles of logs a hundred feet tall.thousands and thousands being loaded onto ships,at that time i believe they were headed for japan,same scenario.no us jobs other than loggers and truckers to get em to the docks.then came the spotted owl and shut down the logging in oregon and washington.

 

I hope we get that stimulus…..Potzzy says Mirka, so if I want my Rum and cokes to keep coming, I gotta comply! lol
Hey anybody that can make the rocking chair he did has my undivided attention!

Sounds like everybody has supper….makes me feel good…thought I might be a bumpkin! and Petey, around here a cellar is a hole in the ground, where you store canned goods. It's funny what the area of the country dictates certain terms. We go to Las Vegas a couple times a year, when the 'rona isn't around and when I ask for a can of pop they look at me like my spaceship is double parked…...oh you mean soda?

Oh and Pottzy iwas born in Huron South Dakota….that's in the eastern side.

Take care my friends…....
