    Having a chat room can be good and bad.  When WTO had it, it was fun, could get instant answers, build friendships, but it also had its drawbacks.  A lot of people got hurt feelings and became a giant PIA for Marc and the mods.  Between the group that is active here, it would probably be fine.  If a giant influx of members come here, it could be great a first until a line gets crossed.  All that to say I’m not for or against. 

    Ideas on mud room walls

    Mud room the place in the house that holds all the crap you don’t want seen.  I don’t mean this in a mean way, but you can build stuff.  Find creative ways that meets your needs. Buy some hooks, and see what works.  If the handle is to long, you could drill a hole for the handle.  Or if you want to spend money, slat wall may work.

    Sled Time

    Interesting concept!  So the blade is positioned at 90*?  I wonder instead of adding more onto your TS sled, if a smaller sled done and dedicated to the router table would work.  Not sure if set up time would be any different.

    Thermal Treated Lumber

    Supposedly you put the wood in a chamber (kiln) without oxygen and then it is cooked.  So if the wood needs to get to 1000 to 1005 degrees, if it goes over that range it is charcoal.  I didn’t watch Cremona video but he seems to contradict himself saying it’s great, but edges brittle.  I would try if given, but not sure I would be confident in it being done right and waiting my money.

    I have never used, but I think it is hit or miss.  If the process is just a little off the wood can be brittle and hard to mill from what I have researched.  I would probably try something else unless the price was so much cheaper.

    We've played the ticket lottery and have been to the Masters a few times, but nothing for this year though.  I've worked there during the tournament as well.  It's a beautiful place when all in bloom and it's cool to be able to meet the golfers and some of the attending celebs.  It's amazing how the National has grown since we've been here as they spread into surrounding business properties that they buy out.

    I got tickets once but unfortunately couldn’t go. 

    Pricing your work

    Some things you don’t mention is delivery and installation.  The few times I provided quotes for projects I added 25% to the BF calculation, not so much for padding waste, but to factor in my time and fuel to get material.  Also 1 problem with shop rate is you really need to know the actual time it takes to mill, cut joinery, finish and all that stuff.  You can’t guess.  Delivery/rental of truck on large pieces need to be factored, shipping on small items.  If you are making this a business time and money spent need to be top priorities.

    Kev, watched the first video, and I thought you provided a lot of really good info, and your sketch up technique was new to me (but I’m also not good at it) and will need to try it sometime. These types of topics seem really hard to condense in video, and makes the video seem really long, but like I said it was a lot of good info, and now you can always refer to it later.
