  1. Sorry, no more likes but by golly, I remember wearing them when the schoolmarm would slap our hands with a 2x! ?
  2. Yep, that’s what they used to call chain mail. Almost identical to the armour used by the Romans, even before my days!
  3. I currently have 4 ea. 8’ double lamp fixtures in my 24’x24’ shop and would really like to not have to move them but to make better use with the led tubes. I’ll go to HD tomorrow to see what my choices are. Thanks all for your help. Anything to get rid of those darn ballast operated machines!
  4. Yeah, a goldendoodle. I was being facetious about the gloves. They would have to be made of chain mail to help. The vet today gave us some helpful hints on the biting and recommended a powder to apply to the wounds to stop the bleeding. ?
  5. I’ve had Labs in the past that were useful when there was a duck in the water but I fail to realize the value in this mutt other than to provide companionship to my wife when I’m in the shop. Luckily we have agreed to not breed her, although it would be nice to recoup the purchase price.
  6. Well, sometimes, out of cameras view, only to appease the wife. I also have second shift at 5:00 damn a.m to take her out to potty. Happy wife, happy puppy!
  7. Thank you so much for your in depth reply. I will go to each of the links provided and look at them tomorrow! ?
  8. That’s tight like last night! Damn nice!
  9. I knew s#*t from Sherlock about Woodworking when I got involved and thought I would start with decorative boxes. Maybe I should curse Stowe instead of praise him, due to the rabbit hole he created?
  10. Thanks! Hope you have a comfortable flight home.
  11. You’re probably right! A zillion of an inch wouldn’t matter on the angle as where it meets the corresponding angle is undetectable, especially with a rail or stile separating them.
  12. BW, get “Basic Box Making” by Doug Stowe. It has some neat boxes and Doug’s instructions are as easy to follow as Marc’s. It’s where I got my start. But don’t let that deter you! ?
  13. Beautiful piece Kev. You must be really proud! Couple of questions. Did you make the bevel on each individual piece and then go to the next as in the video or did you run all thru at one time to keep the consistent setting on your fence? Also, did you have a test piece to get the bevel on the ends correct to allow for the added fence? Hope that makes sense?
  14. Of all people! Tell me you take the lop sided newspaper as well? If Fox published a news paper with comics, I would wait by the street until it arrived in my pj’s!
  15. @Chet, do you see any wear and tear on your filter from the paddle?
  16. I like boxes as well. I still have the first one I made and probably 80% of the others. As each is usually a different design, I hate to give them away.
  17. I take the FWW subscription to the mag. I’ve tempted several times to sign up for the digital as well. I’d like to keep the mag as sometimes my newspaper (I know) shows up late and I need the reading material to get me thru the morning! ?
  18. We have to hone our skills. Even Bill Gates had to call in help from Paul Allen! ?
  19. BW, I pretty much take your route. If I were to take a design class, it would have to be a perpetual course and no instructor in their right mind would put up with me that long. Chet, how and where do you organize your pics and notes? I’ve thought about that and think it’s a great idea but don’t know where to start.
  20. As I don’t have a pc in my shop, I rely on my IPad. Don’t know of how many of you do but I noticed that the word Forum is slightly hidden behind Kev’s logo and might be missed by potential new members. Now I think I bought this thing in the late 80’s ? so it could be my machine. Here is what my screen looks like.
