Never! Even if, even if for some far out reason, I thought the SS would be a more efficient setup than what you have (which it isn't), I would never suggest that Gunny, not after all the work you put into that creature, I would never diminish a mans spirit like that!

My friends brother came over and looked at it, told me it was worth about $300 and offered me $350. 

 

I shrugged and said well your offer sucks but I tell you what, you can get out of my shop for free.

Exactly! That machine you got there is worth more than what a total stranger could know, you know it's worth, you built it, kind of like when someone comes over to your shop and asks you to build a bed frame, and they show you one from the Target weekend print ad and want you to beat that price. Okydokey.

I don't own a SS but I'll always remember my first project using biscuits. While building raised panel doors for cabinets which had been completed, I glued up door panels using biscuits. Using my raised panel bit set, proceeded to route a panel. Much to my dismay, I exposed a sizeable portion of the biscuits used in the panel assembly. Good thing I had only glued up 2 panels. That was a real learning experience.

Oh yeah, and then they want it out of REAL wood.  Usually Oak, for cheaper, yeah okay.  Might be why I always say NO.  I enjoy making stuff for me and the wife and do some odds and ends work for friends.  Pays for what I want to build.

OOPS!

The best biscuits are covered in sausage gravy.

Oh, none of us have ever done anything like that Al! At least not that we'll admit! Seems I had something like that happen too.

No! No! No! WBBN my friend, you don’t have to swap. That’s the beauty of the SS, it rolls into a corner when you are done using it! Drink the koolaid, feel the force, Be the ball! You can feel a SS in your future.

I did that already, how else do you think I was able to marry this beauty?    9 years today we got married.

 

 

 

 

Congrats man! Hope the two of you had a great day!

Congratulations Gunny!

Congrats Gunny.

Congratulations  and happy anniversary. You two look great together.
