March 25, 20197 yr Popular Post Hey Stick do you make this stuff up? or are you just a good googler? Got another offering plate roughed out and couple more layers of lacquer applied to the present. You know these weekends are just too short nowadays.
March 25, 20197 yr neither... it was sent to me... that was the answer I got when I asked for help last Monday... the help did show up Tuesday and Wednesday...
March 25, 20197 yr Popular Post @John Morris I have no complaints with this format, I was fully accustomed to it before you changed to the other, is there a reason to change it? @Stick486 what do you have to do to "Prepare to die"? Call the undertaker? Put on clean under shorts? Say goodbye to all"? Have a donut? Wear your Sunday outfit? Just wondering. Herb

Thank you for your patience. tweak a few things is all... go w/ KISS/MISS... tone down the bright white... ditch the light gray anything to improve visibility... make the return to quoted post arrow visible again... others may have some input... bring back the Verdana font.. compressed wording makes for a difficult read.. as in run on paragraphs which there are plenty of here... the run ons get ignored/not bothered w/ (at least w/ me they do) because they are so difficult to read/sort out...... above is default below is Verdana... big difference... above is default below is Verdana... big difference... tweak a few things is all... go w/ KISS/MISS... tone down the bright white... ditch the light gray anything to improve visibility... make the return to quoted post arrow visible again... others may have some input... bring back the Verdana font.. compressed wording makes for a difficult read.. as in run on paragraphs which there are plenty of here... the run ons get ignored/not bothered w/ (at least w/ me they do) because they are so difficult to read/sort out......
March 25, 20197 yr Popular Post I spent the morning painting the California king bed. Not a pleasant task because I hated covering up a beautiful finish but I’m not the customer. I sprayed it with Sealcoat Saturday so the first coat of enamel went on very smoothly. One coat to go and it is out of my shop.

March 25, 20197 yr The customer isn't always right. But, they do have the $$. That's a really nice paint job, though.
March 25, 20197 yr Monday.. Wake me up when Tuesday gets here....have a second box to get done...but..not today... managed to add a "zero clearance insert" to a tablesaw that wasn't design for such newfangled items.... The tablesaw fence clamps down onto the plywood, Raised the blade SLOWLY up through the plywood, cutting the slot. Had some fat parts of Ash that needed slimmed down to 3/8" thick.....there is a 1/2" gap between the blade and the OEM insert....not really safe for thin stuff...

There is more wood where that came from, just have to cut another tree down. A person can't fall in love with a piece of wood, that would be like a farmer falling in love with a steer, instead opf looking at it and seeing steaks and ribs grazing in the pasture.
