I still blame Norm and Chet for my spending.
-
You should have let me know? I’d have sent you one. How long does one normally last you?
-
Hey Dale! Welcome aboard.
-
Yep, I’ve talked to him a few times since and I think he has pretty much gone to softer woods that smoke easier. Super nice guy!
-
The covid thing has been all but forgot about for the last few days on our newscasts . Glad you got taken care of bud!
-
I for one won’t be following this as I tend to get jealous easily. ?
-
Mine too bud. Can’t begin to tell you what color my walls are. Oh yes I can, as I still have the original 18 yo paint can somewhere! ?
-
Is the 3/8” difference between your original 2 7/8” and the now 2 1/2” more of a support issue or a keep to someone’s original design? Just wondering if the extra 3/8” lamination is worth the while?

The first time I went whitewing dove hunting in South Texas, it was a melt your barrel and turn your shoulder into mince meat shoot. The second morning before the hunt, I went to Walgreens and bought a needle and thread and sewed a motel towel to the shoulder of my hunting vest. It actually looked like a Kotex but I didn’t care and I got accused of the same. The third afternoon hunt, all of my hunting buddies had done the same thing. Get you some pink padding Bryan and enjoy your workout! ?

Really cool idea there Chet!
-
Bryan, are you keeping these pics so you’ll know where everything goes in a couple of months? ?
-
I agree Chet. I started throwing the Houston paper when I was 14 yo and have not been without it since.
-
Thanks bud. I realized that after I typed it but tried and could not edit/correct my mistake.
-
Is full retirement inching closer or are you just getting burnt out on the current assignment?
-
Ok, gotcha now. And 1/16” if using a thin kerf. And I agree with the vee groove. Thanks
-
I burned thru two cigars watching it so they could get their work done.

Would’t a stop block eliminate the guess work or would there be a concern of kick back of the off cut, similar to cross cutting a board using a miter gauge and fence combo?
-
A few months ago the moon was lined up with the stars and sun or somethIng weird and you could stand a broom up without support. I guess my shop guys had nothing better to do than try it. It stayed like this for several hours.
-
Chet, do you just eyeball the edge of your blade guided by the 45* cut of the board that supports the plexiglass? Cut you put a stop attached to the end board that guarantees this. It wouldn’t be necessary on most cuts but I could see where it would be helpful on your box divider.
-
Pretty cool Chet! Usually when I take your lead it ends up costing me my stimulus check but this can be done on a budget. I also like making boxes and my old method, tried but not true was getting my fingers as close to the blade as possible on small pieces. So my insurance carrier will appreciate this as well. Is there not a concern of the left piece getting bumped or moved and hitting the blade? I may add a runner to it as well. Thanks for sharing.

Mom taught me well but some things are just not applicable.
-
I finally had to get two of the red flags that you get at the lumber yard to attach to the handles of my brooms to help locate them.
-
Nothing could come closer to the truth.
-
Sounds like good headway Bryan! As it’s way too wet here to do any yard work ( 10” in the last 5 days including 2.5” today) I cleaned and waxed anything that was cast iron in my shop.

A friend that does estate sales brought me some pieces similar to those that didn’t sell. They were walnut with small worm holes and about 1/2” thick. It took me forever to get rid of them in projects. I think I made a pallet out of some. ?
