I don't know shit about chainsaws, but I know a big dick chainsaw when I see one.

Yup, same. While woodworking has definitely been my main focus, I'm on such a tear of 'learning new shit', that I'm starting to get burned out on it all. I'm currently learning all the intricacies of compressed air. I went from simply wanting something I could use a spray gun to paint small...

I've never even attempted, but just imagining sharpening all those little blades already makes think I'd just start pricing out new chains. They are pretty cheap for my little-ass Ryobi 40v. I imagine at some point sharpening starts to outweigh the cost. What do the larger/high quality chains cost?

And that's what happens when I only read the first half of a post...

Little trick for miters is to make them just a tiny bit OVER 45 degrees(like literally 45.1 or less). This will put any gap toward the inside, rather than the outside. That tiny gap on the inside will usually just disappear during glue up and clamping. In the event it's still visible, it's...

Sounds like the perfect thing to...build!

Hmm. It's not low when pumped up. I'm 6ft tall and don't need to bend over or anything when I use the planer. When I don't use the planer, I can lower it and stow it under the bench along the side of the garage.

What are you looking to do with/on the stand? I have my DeWalt planer on this thing below, but it's definitely lacking 'fine adjustment'.

So for this wall mounted liquor cabinet I'm planning, I need some suggestions/help for how to attach these doors I have. The frame of the cabinet is just 1/2" plywood and I'm going to do a face frame out of poplar. All will be painted. Originally, I was going just do traditional doors on hinges...

Yeah, I want that sander. I have the DeWalt that Stumpy had in the video for the new 3M. It works well enough, but it is really uncomfortable on any project that takes a lot of sanding. I've already got enough carpal tunnel/nerve issues in my hands from all the gaming/PC abuse over the years. I...

Circle of Life. We're all gonna' end up in a proverbial "frankenstein'd garage saw mill" eventually.

Facebook Market.

This is really cool. I had never seen this. Dissolving steel wool into vinegar and then using it as a "stain".

Nice work. I'm quite jealous! You going to sell any of that walnut or keep to use?

The picture of what the slab was supposed to look like, looks like they used HDR in the photography(assuming it's the same slab that was actually delivered).

I edited my original post with: I would probably just take the 1000 bucks, since once I start using my desk, it's 75% covered with my PC/work stuff. But this is also a good idea.

What is the walnut finished with, do you know? Is that picture they sent you an actual picture of the slab you received(ie: the grain patterns match, it's just the color/hue that are different)? I would probably just take the 1000 bucks, since once I start using my desk, it's 75% covered with my...

I read the video title and thought "This has to be satire". Nope...

Now that you've made me waste half my day reading 19 year old posts from my EQ days, I found this thread started by Gartho. https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/prexus/jestor-rodo-pt2-gartho-strike-back-t23173.html

Wait a second...is this Jestor Rodo?

Oh, man! The old Prexus boards. Now I gotta' go read some old hall of fame threads there for the nostalgia kick. Is this Gartho person working on Pantheon or something? I haven't been keeping up with all the riveting Pantheon news lately.

No need for explanations. It's an awesome desk and if you got the dough, no point in not spending it on stuff you want!

Nice! Can't beat walnut! This is like the supersized version of what I have. I have almost the identical base, but my top is a slightly smaller solid wood countertop from Ikea. Been a great, solid desk for years now. What did that walnut slab run you?

Any suggestions for learning Sketchup? I did a few video tutorials, but I still have a very rudimentary understanding of all it can do.

If I lived closer, I would come over and smoke meth on that beige couch. I don't smoke meth, mind you, but I feel like that is what that couch was made for.

I just watched a few videos on that Keda dye and some of that stuff looks unbelievably cool. Regardless of this current project, I'm definitely going to check that stuff out.

So next project is a liquor bar/cabinet that will mount on the wall. Something similar to this thing in the picture, except my wife wants it to be dark blue. I'm thinking either poplar or plywood, but I'm dreading painting. No matter how well I can put it together, if the paint job ain't good...

The terrarium is pretty much complete and finally has an occupant.

This is why I keep up with this thread. It's these kinds of details that amateurs like myself often miss.

The best kind of retarded.

I just recently watched this guy's video and really like this break-down sheet table, for cutting up 4x8 stuff. I have a big sheet rack that stores stuff vertically and you can cut it right on the rack with a circular saw, then move to the table saw. I've been finding that stuff stored on there...

Look, man, I live in Florida. It's so fucking flat here, that I get a hard on whenever I see elevation above 15 feet.

This looks great! Where do you live? Love those mountain views.

Been noticing a lot of celebrities passing away around mid 60s and all I can think of is me retiring at 65 and then dying like 5 months later. I would be so goddamn pissed.

He committed suicide. Shot himself in the back of the head...twice. RIP in peace.

I love that look. Simple, clean and sturdy.

That's chunk of your yard looks bigger than my entire lot. It ain't easy living in south Florida, man.

I'm telling you, man. All the most helpful YouTubers are in the frozen north. Maybe I'll start a Florida Man DIY in the Swamp channel. As of now, I'm considering going this route. Cheap and, if the dirt is too soft, it can at least be easily removed/fixed.
