Will do! This is a solid recommendation, but I have an outside an opinion to keep in mind. The stock slabs stay.

oooooooooh. I get it. I have some time to think about it. No matter what, I'll be marking all the windows and slabs so that this never gets confused. Happy to hear more input, and I really appreciate all the insights!

I'm not sure I understand this. I understand the sand, chisel, plane, or grind part and I can do that. I'm not sure how to mark the rabbet so that I can do this correctly. This was my original plan. I'm still not sure which direction I want to go.

These are solid suggestions. Thank you! I'm not sure how the table was stored. It may be that it was unconditioned. I'm not ready to play with this part of the project yet, so it'll have time to sit. My plan was to shave down the rabbet. But the reveal is substantial in some spots, and...

Hey folks! There's probably whole forums on the internet about woodworking. But I'm drinking homebrew while refinishing the table. So obviously, this is the forum for me! I haven't done real woodworking since high school. I'm handy. I've done a fair amount of home remodeling on my own and...

I've poured 2oz samples out.

Man, I live right down the road. Too bad I don't have this much cash on hand. The holidays have me about cleaned out.

Right, I agree with you. There's nothing wrong with making something for a specific demographic. The issue is actually defining the demographic. What's a "real working man"? And if you can define it, can you really say what he would drink? It's a non-starter. It can't be done. The guy is a...

You sir, are a poet. This post is amazing.

At that point, would you say he nailed it???!?

Unless Fred is the right people. I've never trusted Passedpawn. Not for a minute.

Oh, I read that one. Got me through some tough times.

Now that's what friends are for! Good lookin out! I can't think of a better way to pass a frigid winter day. I don't care what everyone else says - you're good in my book!

This is such a weird thread. I've been sitting here watching and eating popcorn for 2 months. I need an update. Or at least more wild speculation.

Update: It's totally fine. Actually, it's great. One of my best batches in a while. I fully endorse dry-handing a few days prior to bottling as an excellent practice to improve head retention and aroma.
