A variety of mouth shapes would makes the characters more dynamic. It really does look like they're always yelling.

Here's my weed patch - bird's foot trefoil and crown vetch. I mow as infrequently as possible so this kind of stuff crops up and I leave it alone. Bees love it and it looks great (to me anyway).

The term wet shaving is an odd one. In my opinion we should call it Classic Shaving.

I have a can of Barbosol for the kids and have tried it for DE shaving - it works fine because I keep my skin wet.

Thank you! I've made lots of furniture for the house from some things like this to a six chairs dining set and built-ins.

 

Last year I made the little table for my older kids' bedroom for arts and crafts. I just made two little benches/stools for the table. Everything is cherry with basic mortise and tenon joinery. I shaped the legs with a hardboard template and a flush trim bit on the router table.

Even in the 80s it would have been a humorously dated reference to gangster movies. And you'd use it with a hammed-up accent, saying it like "coitans"

+1 We have a similar (but simpler) Bonavita and use It at least once per day. Still working great after about six years.

Aldi's Beaumont Classic Roast is cheaper than CostCo's options. It's not too bad.

OpenScad because I do simple things like funnels or part bins.

Ah, I see. I've yet to replace a toilet seal.

Why have you needed to replace the bolts each time?

How did you use the old cookie container?

I have the next model up (400 Pro) so mine will likely accept larger diameter branches. But with that said one needs to learn the machine's limits in terms of both diameter and wetness.

Before I chip up a pile of branches I'll go through with a swede saw and lop off any parts that are too big. That'll let me breeze through the pile without fighting the machine too much. Also cut apart any wide crotches that won't feed through on their own.

I have my old kitchen pantry in the shop for general storage. It's 24" wide and 24" deep which made reaching for things in the back of the shelf a real hassle. Not to mention making it hard to see back there.

So I made three pull out shelves where three fixed shelves were. 1/2" sides with a 1/4" bottom panel. I didn't have any thin plywood so I actually glued up the three panels from scrap - this was a great way to use up those "shorts" you can't bear to discard!

We have an 18" kettle grill (254 in^2) that my family of 5 has finally outgrown. We don't need anything huge, I think 50% more cooking area would suffice. Our needs:

  • We mostly do quick-cooking stuff like burgers/brats
  • Less often we do chicken thighs
  • We use charcoal
  • I'd like to try cooking ribs
  • We're not interested in smoking

My best guess as to a good fit for us is the Char Griller Wrangler (435 in^2). It's bigger than our 18" kettle but not too big. I don't want to have to use a ton of fuel each time we grill, I assume that would be true for a larger model. I also want something with a warming rack and this little guy seems to be a good balance of price/quality.

Are my assumptions correct here? I've only ever used kettle grills. Char-Griller has fancier models with fire access doors but I don't really think I'd need to futz with the fire that much, even if doing ribs. I figure that with the simpler model I could just remove the grate over the coals in order to be able to add more as needed.

Thanks all!

Researching work benches will often show many examples of the sliding deadman. I opted not to put one on my bench because I valued drawer space more.

On the rare occasion when I need to support a piece from the bottom I'll just use a clamp in expansion mode.

 

I dug around in the settings but didn't find anything related to titles. Any way to not have double titles appear?

 

Here's a simple box I just finished. Cherry with dovetailed corners.

It turned out well but I regret using cheap hardware from Amazon,especially the stamped hinges.

Finish sequence:

  1. 180
  2. 220
  3. Coat Minwax "Tung" oil wet sanded with 320
  4. Oil wet sanded with 400
  5. #0000 steel wood and paste wax
