Thank you for making our newest folks feel welcome. Featured Topic Our featured topic this week is by @Danl. He's at it again! Featured Video I found this video absolutely fascinating. And it reminded me of our very own Luthier @Woodman. I know he's a maker and perhaps he can relate to some of this build if not all of it. I am sure Luthier's have differing views on how to execute certain areas of a build. It's a little long, but if you like watching good hand work, I think you'll enjoy this video. -
We made it to Friday folks! Here in the land of "Two Weeks From Anywhere" I'm getting a few days break from the Astro and Pilot while we wait for the Factory Service Manual for the Astro and a hollow end mill so I can get that broken off bolt out of the Pilot to come. I'm beginning to think I'm getting to for this crap and need a break from them anyway. Hopefully I'll get a little time to work on the "FUN" projects while we wait for those items, but the lawns need mowing, and this that and the other may prevent that. With that, it's time for the "BIG" question,... What's on Your Weekend Agenda? -

OOOPS! I almost forgot it was Friday! Must have been that Labor Day thingy. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! Things have been a bit hectic here "Two Weeks From Anywhere". Was on earlier and "Bruce" called wanting to know if I wanted to go with on another "Boneyard" run so I kind of forgot it was Friday. Bruce got a radio/cd player for the Astro van, may as well put it in while the dash is already half apart anyway. Still waiting on the ignition switch housing. He also picked up a headlight for a Ford Focus for a friend of his. Since they're usually destroyed by the fork truck when they move the vehicles around I got one good running board off of a Pilot. Figured it's probably the only way I'll get a set is to grab one if it's not destroyed. They're the same for both sides. If it stops drizzling here I'll try to get some photos of the progress of my two ongoing projects. As far as my plans for the weekend, I need to look up a range/neutral position switch for the Pilot. (Trips CEL when SWMBO drives it) Try to get some more done on the projects. (How much depends upon Bruces switch delivery and weather) That's my plans for the weekend, what's yours?

Thank you for making our newest folks feel welcome. That didn't last long! Some of you may notice we no longer have our Amazon ads and links in place, I gave it a couple weeks and not much came from it. I think our click statistics were 12 clicks in two weeks, in order for it to make any noticeable income we need to be much higher than that. And the space the Amazon ads were taking up aren't worth it, we are much more valuable than that my friends! And, I tried the Google AdSense ads for a week and I hated them once again, I guess I had to try them again to remember that I hated them the last time I tried it, it's just way too commercial for my taste. I don't like the looks of them, I don't like the content. That being said, there was great income potential for those Google AdSense ads, they were actually pretty successful, we were generating income from the first day we installed them, by extrapolating the numbers of daily income we were set to pull in about a 100 bucks a month. But in my opinion, it's not worth it to sacrifice what I think is a wonderful "No Ad's" environment feel and appearance, I did not like them one bit, and I felt if I didn't even like them, you all certainly would not! So, back to things as usual, and I personally am happy with "things as usual". And folks, for all who have contributed to our mid year fundraiser, THANK YOU! Featured Topic Featured Download Featured Video I love a well done video. I found this video on a Patreon page I am a member of, and one I visit frequently put in place by the folks at Mortise and Tenon Magazine. I love a good story on architecture that involves stones, block and wood. They were told it can't be done, that the skills were lost to the ages and they'd be hard pressed to find a contractor who could accomplish such a thing. After much praying, and research, they finally found one. No matter what walk you come from, if you love good hand work like this, you can enjoy this video

Friday again folks! Been a little busy here in the land of "Two Weeks From Anywhere". Haven't had much time to work on the Limken desk or Komputator case builds. We've been trying to get Bruce's 1999 Astro van running. Got the Pass Key system bypassed but finally figured out the injector system problem late yesterday afternoon. It will require a trip to the "Boneyard" to get the connectors for the ECM. One of them is being very touchy about keeping electrical contact with the ECM. Also hauled over an old Craftsman TS (From Bruce's) so I can get my "Komputator" case build on the road to completion. My Delta is to buried at the present time. So after doing a boneyard run and replacing the "Suspect" connector sometime this morning I hope to get back to more fun things. That's my weekend agenda. What's your plans for the upcoming Labor Day Weekend?

Friday again folks! Here "Two Weeks From Anywhere" I'm reconstituting from being a "Hair Pile of Melted Itt!" after the past two days of heat indices in the 113-118° range. Today I may get started on the "Victrola Style Komputator" case build. Still rolling those "Mental Images" around in my "One Celled SketchUp" mind. I'll post about that and the Larkin desk rebuild a bit later today. With that being said I'll ask, What's on Your Weekend Agenda?

Friday again folks! Here in the land of "Two Weeks From Anywhere" we've been enjoying a bit cooler temperatures the past few days. (It's 54° here now) Looks like Sunday might get a bit warm at a forecast Humid 90° My plans for the weekend will entail working on the 100+ year old Larkin desk and trying to get the plans for the Komputator case which will set on top of it out of my head and possibly onto paper. Much easier said than done because I'm one of those Dyslexic people that visualizes things in 3D while rotating them in my head. (Could be why others think I'm dizzy. Since the desk is pretty much being restored versus modified for the project I'll be doing a separate topic for the Victrola style Komputator case build which will set on top of the desk. That's my plans for the weekend, what's yours?

Yep, it's Friday. Just got back from 'Three Weeks From Anywhere", feeling a bit of lag from going through the one week time warp twice in four days. It was a great visit for the wife and her sister whose birthday was yesterday. The Pilot ran like a top for the trip. I'll be getting back to the Larkin desk project tomorrow.

Thank you for making our newest folks feel welcome. Community news Our summer fundraiser is back! Please help support your community by donating funds to help offset the costs of running this wonderful little corner of our world. When you donate, you'll be entered into a drawing for a good chance of winning some pretty cool items given to us by our sponsors Easy Wood Tools and Woodcraft. We are a little bit in the hole folks, as many of you know we lost another sponsor this year, and we lost a sponsor a couple years ago as well, so our annual funding is down 50%. I am working on acquiring new sponsors, it's not easy. So if y'all can help just a little bit, anything helps, two dollars is the minimum! If you are not in a good place to help financially, you can help in other ways, share our fundraiser with your friends, via email, or perhaps copy paste the link to the fundraiser on your social media accounts. Thank you and have a wonderful week ahead! Featured Topic Featured Link Featured Video I know this is not woodworking related, but sometimes this channel is, the YouTube channel Townsends, is a wonderful place to go see how Americans did it in the 18th and 19th centuries. One of my favorite areas of study Townsends does, is how they prepared and cooked their food back in the day. Enjoy!

Friday again folks! Here in the land of "Two Weeks From Anywhere" I'll be checking the Pilot over this weekend for next weeks upcoming trip to "Three Weeks From Anywhere". We'll be leaving Tuesday and coming back Friday morning, so I'll be a bit late with next Fridays post. The trip is the wife's birthday present to her sister. Other than that, I've been going through boxes of "Stuff" while at the same time abusing my "One Celled Sketch-Up" as I find "Goodies" for an upcoming project. Problem is, I keep finding "Stuff" I totally forgot about having that could end up as part of the project thus the "One Celled Sketch-Up" abuse. Well, that's my weekend plans. What's on Your Weekend Agenda?

Friday again Folks! Ever have one of those days where everything you touch turns to $#!t? That was me yesterday. Came in from mowing next door after a couple of hours to take a break. Tried turning on the wife's W10 Komputator only to have it show power on, but no boot menu or video. So, messed with that for a couple of hours, and got nowhere. Decided to go finish mowing next door. Wind decided to come up so of course I came back in after finishing covered with grass clippings looking like a "Scarecrow". You wouldn't believe how much of that itchy, scratchy grass got inside my clothing. So, go take a bath to get rid of the itchies. So, then this morning I pulled out the W11 Komputator to set it up. But before I could do that the "STUPID TV" decided to play games, I think they did another software update. Wife went to change antenna channel, and somehow the "Crazy Thing" went into PIP mode. The remote has no PIP function. So spent about an hour going through the menus getting that back to "Abby Normal". Finally got this W11 Komputator hooked up, and of course it had to do a bunch of updates before it would let me use it. I think it's going to take the wife a bit to get used to this. So, What's on Your Weekend Agenda? I think I'm going to go back to bed.

Friday again folks! Here "Two Weeks From Anywhere" I'm trying to figure whether the weather is going to give me enough time for a boneyard run. Need to see if I can find a good A/C compressor for the Pilot that won't break the bank. Did manage to figure out how to get a bit of rain,...Plan to do anything outside, it will rain! Might have something to do with Harley Davidsons 120th anniversary party going on this weekend. Can't say we don't need it, some farmers have started to plow under what's left of their crops due to the borderline "Severe Drought" conditions here. Not sure if they're going to try replanting or not. So, as I try working around the weather,... What's on Your Weekend Agenda?

For those of you still working you made it to Friday, for those of us retired it's just another day. Here "Two Weeks From Anywhere" I'm not sure what I'll be doing this weekend. I'm moving a bit slow due to throwing my back out yesterday. Guess I should have used the floor jack to lift the zero-turn mower so I could get at the blades. So, as I work at trying to get moving again,...What's on Your Weekend Agenda? Oh yeah, I almost forgot, have a good 4th everyone!

Please tell us what's happening in your shops, your life, and any events going on with you. Thank you for being here folks! A new forum I'd like to introduce our newest forum. After some back room discussion with our hosts and admin, we thought it'd be fun to try something new around here, so we built our newest community feature "The Pay it Forward" forum. In this forum, you'll be able to give away tools and what-nots to your fellow community members. The recipients will pay your favor forward at a future time, here in our community, or in their own personal lives. This is an honor system feature. We all have those "things" laying around our shop, it's too much of a hassle to list it on Ebay, we don't want to throw it away, but we'd love to just give it away. Or, perhaps we just want to do something nice, our world could sure use some more "Nice" right! The only obligation the recipient has, is to pay postage, and pay it forward. Enjoy this wonderful new department here on The Patriot Woodworker, I do hope it catches on. I will find something in my own shop to list, I hope I'm the first one to list an item, unless you beat me to it! I have kicked off our new Pay it Forward Forum! Enjoy!

Friday again folks! Here "Two Weeks From Anywhere" I've been spending the past few days working mornings, and then late afternoons working on the yard. Just can't take being out in full sun like I used to, that and we've been under an "Air Quality Alert" the past two days for Ozone. Today we're under an alert for the "Smoke" from the Canadian Wildfires. As far as woodworking goes, I'm making firewood, and alot of wood mulch. Not sure how much I'll get done today, and tomorrow due to temps forecast for the high 80's to go along with the air quality issues. Did manage to talk Bruce into hanging on to another "Toy" for doing yard work, so will be playing around with it for a bit. Amazing what can be found "Curb Shopping". So, What's on Your Weekend Agenda?
