Good Monday morning! Good Monday morning Patriot Woodworkers! What did you get done over the weekend, and what have you planned for the week ahead! Inquiring minds want to know. Please tell us what's happening in your shops, your life, and any events going on with you. Thank you for being here folks!

Feel free to add your own definitions in our Glossary, please read the rules at the top of each Glossary for adding your own content and have fun editing! To access the glossary, a menu item named "Wiki" has been installed in the navigation buttons, click on it, and click on Glossary. For now here is the link. https://thepatriotwoodworker.com/glossary/ Featured Topic @Larry Buskirk found a very interesting piece of ARN swag from back in the day, very cool! Featured Video There is much controversy surrounding the Radial Arm Saw, some of the negative beliefs are founded which has led to the RAS to be known as the bad guy in the workshop. I've delved into the online rabbit hole of Radial Arm Saw use, and have explored commentary and How To's and I came away with a new fresh outlook on the RAS for the home shop. Many of us own one, and many of us grew up watching our dad, uncle, grandpa use one and possibly perform some crazy tasks on those machines. Here is a good video I feel that demonstrates safe and proper use of the RAS for ripping purposes. You can probably skip to around the 3:30 minute mark to get to the meat of the video, the first part of it has some thoughtful history and setup philosophy for the video. I'd like to thank @User74 for bringing this subject up in his own topic at My Saw Now. Enjoy! -
Looks like we survived until another Friday folks. It's been one of those weeks here "Two Weeks from Anywhere" with if it could go wrong, it did. 1) Monday, Furball took out Windows 11 computer. Haven't had time to figure it out. Had some fun helping cousin assemble an order for 53 computers, he's setting them up today with a Wi-Fi 6E Mesh system. 2) Tuesday, Spent part of day getting wifes old Windows 10 computer running again with salvaged parts from "Curb Shopping" find. Stepson hit a Racoon and took out radiator on his 08 Cobalt, texted wife around Midnight. 3) Wednesday, Went "Curb Shopping with Bruce just to get away from getting "Volunteered" for another of their car fixes. (Was pick day of the week.) Shoulder's still sore from having to go "Caveman" on their Equinox to replace hub bearings. 4)Thursday, Informed Stepson and his wife " You're on your own this time" which didn't go over well, my wife finally shut off her phone so she wouldn't have to listen to the DIL about it after informing them it's $217.99 for replacement radiator, and the fact that "They're on their own this time." 5) Friday, Expecting a repeat of Thursday. I think I'll go into hiding for the weekend. What's on Your Weekend Agenda? -

He is a Colonial Williamsburg preservationist and he has his own YouTube channel showing how we Americans lived in the 18th Century. His main staple in videos is how we cooked in the 1700's, and survived, but he also dives into other parts of everyday life in Colonial America. Here he is demonstrating how we lit our homes and businesses. Enjoy!

Well, what do you know, we finally made it to Friday again folks! After three pretty much solid days of rain/snow/whatever here "Two Weeks from Anywhere" we might get a break until Sunday afternoon. I'll be making the wade next door once Bruce calls to help him unload his "Curb Shopping" finds. Also, may need to make a trip to the "Mad" city (Madison)next week to help my cousin assemble an order for fifty-two computers. Other than that, not much going on here. What's on Your Weekend Agenda?

It's that time of the week again. In other words, It's Friday again folks! Here in the land of "Two Weeks From Anywhere" I've been trying to figure out what one of those "Windows Updates" did to cause this computer to have intermittent Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connection issues. Just about the time I think I've got it figured out it starts acting up again. I've read where others using some Intel based Wi-Fi/Bluetooth cards with AMD CPU's are also experiencing the same issues. So, while I work on trying to figure this out, What's on Your Weekend Agenda?

It was a rough week, but we made it to Friday folks! Still recovering from having to go "Caveman" removing a hub-bearing on the stepsons 08 Equinox here. I asked Bruce not to remove the plow on the Blazer until at least late April, he didn't listen so of course we're getting 3-6 inches of snow today. Not much else happening here "Two Weeks From Anywhere". What's on Your Weekend Agenda?

Friday again folks! Here in the land of "Two Weeks From Anywhere" I've been rather busy helping work on Bruce's JRV's (Junk Rescue Vehicles) getting them ready for the "Spring Curb Shopping Season" which starts a month early this year this coming Monday. I don't have a clue where he expects to put anything, everywhere is bulging at the seams. I also tried getting a little bit done on the Larkin sewing desk, which SWMBO has informed me she now wants it for what else, a "Sewing Desk". So, I guess that sends the computer desk build into another direction. Not to fear though, I've came up with another plan involving rack mount components salvaged from one of Bruce's "Curb Shopping" adventures. More on that later. So, until then What's on Your Weekend Agenda?

Well I'll be danged, it's Friday again Folks! Bruce, and I managed to get the plow installed on the Blazer earlier in the week. So of course, it looks like we're in for a most of the day here "Two Weeks From Anywhere". Guess testing it out will have to wait.

Featured Topic Featured Download Featured Link Featured Image Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest indulged even the most basic of tools such as this fish club, with ornamental carvings. The Pacific Northwest natives have a very distinct art style that is easily recognizable. Halibut fishermen used wooden clubs to kill or stun their catch; otherwise a heavy, struggling fish might turn over the canoe. The clubs were often beautifully carved, like this one which bears the image of a sea otter. "They didn't want to spoil the head because they were going to cook it, so they were very careful where they hit it [a halibut]. Yeah, right here in the nostrils. That stunned it and then you turned it over so the belly side was up and then it didn't fight as much. If you leave it belly side down then it bangs the boat a lot.' - Delores Churchill (Haida) / Donald Gregory (Tlingit), 2005.

Friday again folks. Here in the land of "Two Weeks From Anywhere" we'll be assessing damage from yesterday's late afternoon/early evening storms. There were two, possibly three confirmed tornadoes a little south of Madison which is about 90 miles northwest of us. These are the first recorded tornadoes in the month of February in Wisconsin.

After a rough week weather wise, it's Friday again folks. Snowing here now again "Two Weeks From Anywhere" so the outdoor shop remains closed. So, in the meantime I've been playing "Couch Potatoe" trying to figure out some new to me computer software/apps. Have to make a grocery store run later today or the cats might rebel.

Friday again Folks! Here in the land of "Two Weeks From Anywhere" we're getting ready for an incoming storm that they have now updated the total snowfall to 7-12" of "Wet Heavy Snow", which will be followed by a few days of single digit temperatures. That just might give me enough time between shoveling to take a look through some books that I got from Bruce last evening. He's putting out boxes of books he found "Curb Shopping" and ran across these bound copies of the Deltagrams that are reprints of the Deltagrams from Volume 1 through 18 starting with January 1932 and ending with Issue No.6, 1948, 49.

There is woodworking in this episode, the very first artist is building miniature doll house pieces completely by hand, and done almost the exact same way you'd build full scale furnishings. And if you decide to watch the entire video, you'll not be disappointed. If you are not up to the entire video, perhaps you'll enjoy the first 15 minutes of miniature furniture building. Enjoy!
