Yeah, normally do and would have. Was kind of rushing to finish since I was already a couple days behind. It isn’t for someone else so no biggie. It dried a little lighter and one coat of General Finish has helped.

So we had a set back on picking the puppy up. Breeder had a family emergency and needed to delay for a few days. Gave me some extra time to work on the kennel since real life delays have taken back over. Got to gluing up the top yesterday. Had leftover stock of Red Oak in flat sawn and quarter...

Finished this yesterday too. Just not your yesterday... It was good, set up for the finale should be good. At this point it isn't even annoying that every time they do something it will result in Skippy being over confident and screwing up. If it were any other series I'd probably be annoyed by...

Just be careful if you’re wearing the gloves around tools that spin or have parts that spin very fast. I’ll take a splinter and save the skin on my hand. 🙄

Now do my fly problem and I'll go through with it and report back in a year.

I've had the same problem with flies on one particular side of our house that is close to the garage door for my woodshop. I've cleaned, pressure washed, sprayed, had the bug guy soak it in chemicals, put out fly bags, have a bug zapper. Doesn't matter. They swarm that one spot. Only thing we...

Never understood why these hand tool / “traditional” woodworkers have to dress and look like they’re from the 1600s. I do want to do this as a project though. Really nice looking table. I was going to do wedged tenons on my table but ran out of time.

Q3A had Bones, a blue radioactive skeleton.

Work proceeds slowly. Did one coat of my frame and wanted to test fit the bars. The one right in the middle is bent slightly and was a bitch to get past that point when inserting. May try and pull it out and replace it with one of the spares. Also let me just say how much I hate painting. This...

That’s interesting. Since Match Game just came out I wasn’t paying attention to anything else he had dropping. Will check that out and maybe read a series of his rather than listening to one. Sabriel, The Old Kingdom Book 1 by Garth Nix. It wasn’t bad just didn’t hook me. Parts were hard to get...

8 minutes to get to the subject in a 10 minute video? This must be the guy writing all those recipes online that start with 10 pages of backstory about the first day of summer and the lavender smell of the flowers and the dogs and kids playing in the yard and just get to the friggin' ingredient...

Went ahead and Amazon next day'd a Metabo Variable Speed. Just went with a 4.5" to get me in the door. Maybe I'll step up over time. It was actually somewhat difficult to find an "entry level" variable speed that seemed worth a damn. Normally I would default to Ridgid like all my other stuff...

For sure, but I have already put hours in to 4. Needed something after Platinuming Rogue Legacy 2. No big deal, I'll buy the bundle to pick up the others. If I get the individual keys I'll just hand them out here to someone who would want them. *edit: To that end, if anyone wants Resident Evil...

Fuck me I just bought the 4, 5, and 6 bundle on Steam like 4 days ago.

I think a set of locking casters is a good idea, but I’m biased about having moveable benches in my shop. That way you could still pull it out to vacuum behind it. Otherwise yeah, put a shelf to cover the gap. Oh or one of those strips they make for range ovens! Haha Linda's Essentials Silicone...

A bench grinder is probably my next big purchase. If I can find one used that is decent that would be awesome, otherwise I’m probably looking for a Tormek (I really thought they had wire wheel attachments, hmm double checked their page. O pretty exclusively sharpening) or similar. Need it to...

I told the wife it was going to have to be big enough for me to fit. Pretty happy with how these turned out. Ended up using a wire wheel on my cordless drill to knock off the rust and grungy spots. Then used a series of sanding sponges from 80, 140, 220. Lastly sprayed with matte clear coat...

haha it is a learning process, no doubt. That is one of the reasons for installing them through the top, so that if one rusts or is otherwise damaged I can remove the top, pull the rod, and drop in a new one. For what it is worth these were $6 a piece. For the next step up that he showed me...

Look man, what one man does with his steel bars is his business, okay! Get off my back! Just kidding... I cut out and put together the carcass for a dog kennel this weekend. Didn't put the frame on because couldn't pick up the bars until Tuesday so went ahead and primed the inside while...

I was gonna give that a try too so good to hear it suggested. I’m not overly concerned with the rust, specifically, I have a wire wheel / brush for my drill that can be used. Polish isn’t the right word because it implies that it needs to be shiny or mirror or like stainless steel. And that...

I have 25 pieces of 30” 1010/1020 steel tubing, 1/2” outer diameter. Picked them up from the pipe supply company yesterday. They’re industrial looking, small bits of surface rust but nothing bad. I’d like to clean them up to be more presentable for indoor use. Was thinking about washing off with...

How it started: How it's going: I don't believe the play time. Lots of instances of leaving it up over night or throughout the day as I'm working and doing conference calls. Anyways, yeah, I either ended up really liking it or OCD kicked in.

I just skipped to the end of the thread since we haven't watched this yet. Last night we watched Predator 1 to get in the mood and the subtitles referred to the Predator noise as "whickering." Which seems more applied to horses but it is a new word to me.

Secretly it is a place to stick the kid when he’s bad. I think he can manage the blanket thing.

Won't buy one until Project Farm tests and approves!

Yeah I think it comes from our family who have always had dogs that slept in kennels for their life. Not in the "locked up" sense of the word, but they were trained and very happy going in there to take naps or going themselves when we left the house, etc. Otherwise they had mostly free reign of...

Yeah, I totally won’t be surprised at any outcome here or have my feelings hurt. Long term it’ll be maybe a good flat surface for the shop after I add some rolling wheels to it.

This is going to be an "in flight" project I think lol... But we want a kennel for the house so I have a sheet of plywood and two 10' boards of Poplar. So quickly put together something in Fusion and had to screw around with the layouts and make some concessions, but I think it will work. Going...

Went and bought some poplar yesterday. 5.15 bf for 4/4 is getting a little up there. It isn't as ridiculous as what you pay at Home Depot or Lowes. They're almost 15 bf for the same thing. It was almost better to buy cherry common boards at 5.00 bf but all they had was 5/4 and that's a little...

Agree there. It wasn’t the best but wasn’t bad. Kind of forgot about it after playing and had no idea there was DLC.

One I found online very comparable to that price. It was something like $400 but “on sale” for $200. But taking in to consideration theirs claimed dried for 2 summers and then kiln dried. Man I have no idea! Start on the high end and adjust I guess. Maybe a local hardwood place would give you a...

Was going to make a run to the hardwood store and was checking prices, remembered to look at their live edge walnut and they're listing at $16 - $20 bf. No other information on their price sheet about it.

That’s really pretty. I would totally make a top or small pieces out of that.

Is that the one that claimed X% of women are actually games because they play Gardenscapes on their iPhone? I'll actually read it later though b/c it seems interesting from skimming.

My wife’s Q0 came in yesterday or the day before and damn that thing is beefy and awesome. Just got her plain ole MX Reds but it really makes me want a Q3 or something similar for my work computer. You could lay someone out hitting them in the head with that Q0.

Up until about three weeks we led with safety messages, which was great. Job related safety tips and personal. Now it is not only mandatory that we lead with Diversity and Inclusion moments we are also required as part of our performance management and goals to read and contribute. At the threat...

Well I just got to this part...

Everything about this is offensively bad. It has to be accidentally this bad because I don't think you could purposefully achieve this level of terrible.

X-post from the gun thread. No idea what I’m doing but had an idea for a project so bought a D7000, built a "lightbox" for about $20 and bought some lights and a tripod of Amazon to learn and test things out before kicking off the main event. The point will be to focus more on the top rail and...

It was like a psychopath's wet dream. Hilarious and uncomfortably bizarre at times.
