Reached 81° yesterday even with mostly cloudy skies and crazy wind. First wave of t-storms hit ~6:45P. Not a lot of rain but quite the lightning show. Wind really ramped up too. It was still 71° at 11P. Not sure when the last moved through but was well after midnight. 6:43A, EST; ugly looking sky but nothing on radar yet. 66°, RH 88%, dew point 63°, SW wind already gusting to ~30 mph. High of 71° forecast with a slight risk for severe storms as Fred noted depending on how much sun we see. We are under a High Wind Advisory; gusts above 45 mph expected.

Surprised you didn't use your cordless drill press for this. Looks good. Knob is perfect size for this project IMO.

Good Monday Morning Patriot Woodworkers! April 15, 2024

Appreciate your kind words. I fully agree. Several of us came here from other forums. Some of those forums are defunct now. I've had the privilege to meet in person a few of our folks when @Fred W. Hargis Jrhosted a Meet & Greet a few years back. A fun day. I've also talked with many others on the phone &/or through PM's. All here contribute to the success we enjoy as a forum. Some daily or weekly, others a little more infrequent, but all are exactly as you describe. Certainly thankful you've joined us as a contributor of your talents. -
This one is keeping you challenged for sure.

Very nice day yesterday. Inched up to a high of 78°. Even felt a little muggy in the afternoon. 7:30A, EST; 57°, ESE wind, ~5-10mph. Might make 80° again. Minimal chance of rain this afternoon with a higher chance with storms moving in after 7P through tomorrow morning. Certainly will disrupt the drying conditions we've had. Wind expected to pick up later also. High pollen alert.

That is amazing already Mike. Love your attention to the small details and the precision.

Donuts? Did I hear someone say donuts? Is someone making donuts? -

Survived grandsons 10th birthday party. Did get a bit of garage reorganizing accomplished as well as some other spring related chores. Got one mower serviced and ready to go as well as some string trimming accomplished. Must have overdone it as my back was pretty painful yesterday. It seems a little better this morning. Gonna' try to get some mowing accomplished next couple of days before rain sets it again. Haircut trip to Boilertown Wednesday followed by errands to Menards, Rural King and perhaps a couple other stops. -
Made it to 80° for the first time since last October. It didn't stay there long with the crazy wind although it greatly helped in our much needed drying. 9:03A, EST; dropped to 55° as our low. 58°, 83%RH, 53° dew point now, NNW wind ~5-10mph, mostly sunny with some cloud cover. High of 78° forecast with a few more clouds later in the day. Rain with chance for severe storms for tomorrow night with rain extending through Thursday then dropping to below seasonal temperatures for a few days.

He is. He does an excellent job as a presenter and instructor IMO. Talented and knowledgeable young man.

I'm looking forward to the summer days when it's 70 and feels like 70 without rain, wind, locusts and frogs.

Had to look it up too. Says it's a part (variation) of the Red Oak family so not really a good candidate for outside furniture without a lot of ongoing preservation. Regardless, 'aught to be some nice turning stock for you from the smaller limbs. Hope you can find a local sawmill service. Keep us updated. Following along.
