CA 91 and 15 interchange is under construction. Fairly sure the sign said until 2038. I'll trade you Dan. At the end of the day you are in HI.

I do realize im whining a bit. Ca traffic is nuts too. I just miss the opportunity to drive far and fast! ☺️

 

[brewingmeister]

Dan, don't you have a motorcycle?

Hey all. I had the good fortune to win a March pump and ultimate sparge arm. I need to add Stainless Steel disconnects and hoses. I'm thinking male on the equipment female on the hoses. Does this seem standard? I know it'll work either way but I'd like it to work on my club's various rigs if there is a standard way.

I went with male camlocks on the vessels. Not sure if it is standard but it seems right to me. Congrats on the win. I had a good feeling this time but nothing again. Not like I NEED anything anyway.

Actually completely finished a small soap display shelf tonight. Feels good to be completely done with a project (I do have two more to build though). The big cabinet should have the final coats of finish and be assembled by the weekend. I will feel much better when that is done.

Here is the little shelf made entirely of recylcled crate lumber from a grocery store sign...explains the dings, nicks and knots. I put it together with pocket screws...solid as a rock.

Wow Ischiavo, nice work!

I won the pump and arm at the Socal brew fest raffle. Very happy.

Thank you. I have been watching a lot of Norm Abrams on YouTube.

Good score even if you didn't win it here. I never win anything

I really gotta get offa me arse and get my garage shop in order. So many projects, so little time and energy.

Ha. I was up till three in the morning watching japanese youtube master crafters build a festival shrine. So much detail. So much skill. So many steps. Absolute perfection in hand cut joinery, carvings, and finishes. And so phreaking gaudy ugly.

Having a shop set up properly is key. I don't and everything seems to take 10x longer than it should.

I have watched some Japanese woodworking shows. I was very impressed with the handcrafting skills.

Have a proper bandsaw sitting in my shed waiting for me to make a space for it. Wonderful machine, I have yet to plug in since owning it.

Also want longer rails on my ts so I can mount a router/shaper table to one end.

Have a beautiful leigh jig with all but the isoloc templates, have yet to.set a router on it.

Not for lack of want. Just no time to devote to projects of passion.

Im not too keen on the ultra simplicity of most japanese designs, but I love the philosophy, the tools, and the craftmanship.

Lucky! A nice bandsaw and dovetail jig are on my list. I know what you mean about the lack of time. I have all kinds of projects that I have put off for years now. I even have lumber for a lot of them. I only got back in the shop for necessity this time. It was a lot of work just finding things, and getting the place back in some sort of order (at my dad's garage - he likes to pile stuff all over the equipment). I hope I can find time to stick with it. It is a very enjoyable hobby.

I was lucky, very lucky. Came by a nearly new Rikon with ~14" resaw depth and a HF dust collector for $500. Also bought the Leigh jig with templates used for a couple hundred. Dude still had all the boxes, bags, etc that the jig came in. He said he used it for one project and then it sat for years.

I want to make a series of projects using only pine but with as high level a craftsmanship as I can muster.

Hey Late Nighters!

I took a couple of days off of work to attend my niece's graduation from University of North Texas. I am sitting in Paradise Texas. I think the name must be tongue in cheek...

No offense Texans, but every time I come to Texas, I want to grab a Texan and ask "What's the big Effing deal?".

You're in the wrong part of Texas.

North Texas is basically just South Oklahoma, and that right there should tell you everything you need to know.

It's just all a ruse to keep the textards in one place so they don't ruin the rest of the country too.

Nice find. I never noticed Rikon tools before. I searched it up and it looks like good stuff. 14" resaw is nice.

I salvaged many thousands of board feet of western red cedar. We replaced the lighting on the football field at my old high school. We took down (7) 50' poles 24-32" diameter on the bottom. I had a local guy saw it up after my dad removed all the nails and such that he could find with a metal detector. The lumber is beautiful although there are a few random holes from mounting hardware and lags. I would love a bandsaw/jig/feeder to resaw some of that into lap siding.

I really like pine of all varieties. I bet you will make some nice stuff. Get on it and post the results

I also need a good drill press and a jointer. I can get by without either but they sure would be nice.

Love my drill press. Amazing how many things you find to perforate once you have a proper drill press. Haven't had much use for my jointer or planer. Hope to change that soon.

Since you looked up Rikon, the one I bought is the 14" deluxe. Blue model. The light is useless.

Appears I made an error, resaw is 13". Not 14".

Help, I'm going crazy trying to think of a word that means the person who is in your same position or level on the opposite team. For example, if you were a first baseman, what is a word for the other teams first baseman? Something like your equal, your equivalent. But more precise to mean opponent or rival. Any idea?

Nice. I got the bandsaw mostly so I could cut log sections for the lathe.

I love exotic hardwoods but damn if they aren't cost prohibitive. Red Oak is abundant in local big box but boring, IMO.

I know Pine isn't going to blow anyone away with it's figure but it's cheap, easy to source, and cheap. Did I say cheap?

 

[LabRatBrewer]

Adversary?

Yes, but I'm looking specifically for your mirror image adversary. Like two generals. Like your contemporary, but that's not it. Ahhhh, I know there is a word for it.

Archrival? Nemisis? Opponent? Counterpart? Antithisis? Bizarro?

I was JUST about to come in with Bizarro.

Yes! I could also have fun playing with a lathe. My shop is pretty basic.

I am quite tired of oak myself. Ash is similar and I got some white ash locally. I got about 600ft of local beautiful clear maple from my friend the lumber grader. Exotic woods can be spectacular but I feel good about repurposing or using local woods.

There is some really nice pine out there. If you want to spend a few bucks, old reclaimed pine heart can be beautiful. $8 a square foot for flooring. I took a bunch out of my grandma's house that I plan to reuse somewhere.
