I saw transub, and my mind went to a whole other place. Nevermind...carry on.

Those damn Bulgins vandalize everything! -
You're totally ignoring Joni Mitchell, behind you. Just rude.

I had a PCM processor in the 80's. I used my Betamax as a reel to reel with excellent results.

Haven't you heard, size doesn't matter?

Damn it Brent! how many times have I warned you about pulling your pork on the forum! And Andrew...My invitation to dinner must have gotten lost in the mail. Sinful pasta was my drag name back in the day.

Phil produced the entire album. That's the song they used when I auditioned my first decent pair of headphones (Yamaha YH-1000).

I knew there was something going on! Waiting to see who gets that reference.

Have an exceptional day, but stay away from any and all biscuits! It's already a pandemic for gods sake!

I have to say that the whole process, even with it's challenges, was quite enjoyable for me. I helped out when extra hands were needed, and did provide an idea or two, but Al was the real force behind the project. He has gotten so good, in such a short time. It's really amazing! Most of the time I set on a stool watching him work away (I just love hard work, I could watch it all day). I knew from the beginning that this would be a difficult project. Lining up four 8" mitered corners on boards that are twisted and warped is no walk in the park. But I also knew that if Al could pull this off, then he could tackle just about any project. It may not be a large project, but it encompasses so many woodworking skills! A fantastic learning experience, from which he had to correct some mistakes, solve some difficult tasks and come up with some unique solutions. I am really impressed with his abilities and perseverance. Al has also been a stand in for my company lately. As we've quarantined together, and I'm not yet comfortable working next to other crew members, Al has offered on three occasions to be my first mate, so to speak. We've installed a challenging set of kitchen cabinets, built from scratch four closet organizers and installed a floating bathroom vanity into a tiled wall, where the tiles were as hard as diamonds. He catches on so quick, and was just a blast to work with. I'm quite sure though, that he hasn't worked for such a paltry wage in decades. I've been teasing him about getting his pay to him as quickly as possible, in case he's in dire straights. 🤪 My dream is that one day two retired dudes can set up a decent shop and build beautiful stuff. I know how much he'd like this, because he can't get enough of my singing in the shop!

Nicest project I've ever had a hand in!

Where from Grahame. I've been craving good fish and chips.

Actually, mine will arrive soon as well. Thanks Marc!

One thing I have to say... I always thought that the Festool tools were overpriced, but after using Al's domino mortiser, three different orbital sanders and his hepa vac. I'm a huge convert. I now see the forest through the trees
