    Back in my working days,I’ve had people tell me that instead of a fire extinguisher for the kitchen, they kept a container of flour nearby to douse any flames. I had to explain to them that if they were going that route, replace the flour with baking soda.

     Damn bud! I’m glad all’s ok without a doc visit! And then to get out to the shop for catch up, sounds like something I would do! 
    As for the bee the bee treatment, I have the answer. An old country boy showed me this one and I’ve used it successfully several times.

    Take a piece of rolled up newspaper (or any kind of paper) i.e. torch, light it with it at arms length, and throw a handful of flour across the top of the flame, towards the nest. It acts like a flame thrower and completely vaporizes the insects and nest and does no damage to what the nest is attached. Kind of a caveman approach.

    I went to see him when I went to Tennessee last month to visit Richard and he’s not sawing anymore. He sourced all of his logs from his in-laws mill and they sold it. He’s raising bees now as a non paying hobby.

    I made one a couple of years ago, no where near this intricate and the source mentioned an app for different designs but I never did follow up. Yeah, a link to the video would be appreciated. Bryan’s suggestion or a border either one would be neat. I’m betting this never sees contact with a knife blade!

    Will wait anxiously to see what a 3D board is. And never fail to post on an outcome you are unsure of as we can all learn from your mistakes as we do from our own! That’s a lot of time waiting for glue to dry! 😁

    What the heck did you just commit your poor wife to? 😀 I don’t want to be in your shoes when you tell her! 
    A great way to see your shop in person and most importantly, actually meet the members here! I’ll foot my own accommodations if the wife approves such a guys time together. Thanks for the invite!

    Tool Manual Storage

    in Shop Tips and Techniques

    I put mine in clear plastic sleeves that fit in 3 ring binders. I also put the receipt that I paid for them or a note with the cost and date of purchase. More for my heirs for a garage sale than anything else. Unfortunately, I sometimes fail to toss these when I replace the tool.
