Cheaper than another layer of ply? 3/4 rigid would work. I'd still go with the two layers of 1/2" ply screwed to the ribs. Maybe some adhesive in the middle.

Strangely enough, before I turned 60, I was a red head. Well, maybe auburn. Maybe you're right, though. Too much Scotch might have caused the diminution of color. I'll need to run more tests.

U.S. Merchant Marine Service
Gene Howe replied to hatuffej's topic in The Veterans Corner and Causes Forum
Recently, I had the privilege of speaking with a 90 y.o. guy who retired from the Merchant Marine service after 32 years. He reminisced, I listened. One of the most enlightening hours I've spent. His stories told of the glorious and fascinating history and, his time in, the MM. It was evident that he thoroughly enjoyed and, was proud, of his service. I asked him what an old sea dog like him was doing here in the desert. He said he just got tired of salt water. He said he fishes a lot. But, only from the bank. -

Been thinking about using alcohol dye on some accent strips for boxes. The strips will likely be maple and about 1/8 to 1/2 wide and 1/2 to 5/8 thick. Will the dye penetrate deep enough to withstand sanding without removing the color? Will soaking result in deeper penetration and, do I really need a conditioner first? Thanks, guys.

TPW Gathering, Aug. 25. Time To Put Details Together
Gene Howe replied to Fred W. Hargis Jr's topic in General Woodworking
Just found it on Amazon Prime TV. I'll be watching it later today. Thanks for that trailer, John. -
It’s 75, here but, quickly headed to 95. I’ll be doing some upgrades to our TVs today. And, seeing as how I’m almost as tech savvy as a rock, I’ll be in the AC most of the day. Tomorrow’s 98 means an early shop start. Then, back in the house by noon. The shop fan begins to be less effective about then. Besides, noon is getting pretty close to nap time.

Sounds like we need a serious upgrade. Strafing runs are too much fun to eliminate. -

Lew, I made a few of those. Gave some of them to family members. Kept two in our fifth wheel. Mine were oak, which may have been the reason everyone said they were too heavy. After lugging them around the country for a couple years, I'd have to agree.

8K vs 2k? @HARO50 and @Grandpadave52 were right on. Ego and stupidity is expensive. And, no this not a rant against green tools.

Gene Howe replied to Fred W. Hargis Jr's topic in General Woodworking
Can't make it this year. It's too far to drive and, @John Morris says the corporate jet is down for it's semi annual overhaul. But I wish you all happy times and let the sawdust fly. I'll miss seeing all y'all. -

It's Gone. Good Riddance
Gene Howe replied to Gene Howe's topic in Tools, Research, Reviews and Safety
The only good thing about it is that it caused me to explore alternatives. Which, in turn, led to serious research on saw blade technology and router bit design as well as contrarian uses of the planer and sleds. And more use of the planer led to the Shelix head upgrade. I'm more than satisfied with the trade offs. -

I finally put my 6" Craftsman jointer on Craigs List for free...zip...nada and, got a call within 2 hours. I'm ecstatic to get that unused, redundant, space wasting hunk of iron out of my way. "Customer" was very happy, too. Especially, when I gave him a money back satisfaction guarantee.

Some people are amazing. He must've spent weeks...months creating that. And, that little 4 wheeler is none too shabby neither. Thanks for showing us.

Who We Are
We are a woodworking community with an emphasis on sharing and learning the skilled craft of woodworking and all of its related disciplines. Our community is open to everyone who wishes to join us. We support our American veterans and active duty, being a veteran is not a prerequisite to join. Join us now!
Objective
Of course just like most online woodworking communities we are centralized in the arts, crafts, and trades that are woodworking. But, we have another focus in our Patriot Woodworker community, we are the only woodworking community that was founded on our care and concern for our disabled veterans.
Volunteer
The Patriot Woodworkers are an all volunteer community, from the staff and hosts who run our online woodworking community to the members who frequent our forums, you'll find volunteers in all of us. We are not on a payroll, unless you consider the spiritual rewards gained from volunteering, as compensation.
Education
One of the many projects we are working on is a wiki for our online community. A wiki is a great way for woodworkers and enthusiasts to share their knowledge to others, and to impart their knowledge for others to learn from, and utilize as well for their own benefit. We hope you'll consider being a wiki contributor.
