  1. No, but the IMFP is also interested in the construction of a new garage for the FPV (Fishmonger Patrol Vehicle), so dependent upon their approval of the finished PRP (Parlour Room Project), they may be in touch as well. The problem is that there really is no set in stone nomenclature. Some woods are called various names depending on where you are, and in many cases they're just misleading. Wenge is not a slow growth wood, and therefor is now being farmed like many other endangered wood species. So it's not all bad.
  2. Meh, I'd be all thumbs at replacing a heart, so comme ci, comme
  3. I met with the Princess of Kansas today. She and the Commonwealth of Virginia are sticking it to some poor bastard they caught selling faulty electronics on the net. They anticipate major fines, and as such she wanted an estimate on a new Parlour Room addition to the Castle.
  4. It's called baseshoe. Nice job! I'd suggest a custom made Oak transition. Easy enough for any decent carpenter to make, and will look much better. If the other floor is going to change soon though, I'd wait until then.
  5. The gentleman is misinformed. The wood in the pic is Wenge however. Congrats on the job offers gents!
  6. Marc, be sure to use the heaviest extension cord available. Better yet, we could make our own 4 gang box to mount to your bench, and use 8 or 10 gauge cable with a plug attached to one end. That way we could also buy and wire in a Saftey (Oh fuck!) shut off switch. The GFCI should be fine. Also, I have a big ass hammerdrill for concrete. I can bring it, along with some Redheads (concrete bolts, easy there Colin) and we can do just that.
  7. Oh no he di'nt! Thanks Nate, the nerve of some bitches. Actually Marc, African Palisander is East Indian Rosewood. Another of my favorite dark woods, but it has a very smooth grain, as opposed to the grainy textured Wenge. Good guess though.
  8. Ooh, nice fence!
  9. Yeah, I discovered that after not being able to understand at least half of what my fictional creation was saying myself. What's even worse, because of my overzealous posting, I now have to hire an actor to portray him at CJ.
  10. It's quite difficult to bugger and stand still at the same time. I'm just sayin'...
  11. You know Marc is a fictional character right? I made him up to come across as more intellectual.
  12. Well yeah, but don't be so hard on yourself, we can't all be hipsters.

    slow forum

    Fuck, I don't even need that stupid fucking eye piece. I can tell you just by looking at the bad pic on the cover that is Fir. Douglas Fir, to be more specific. Not to be confused with Duggeh Fur, which is a whole other thing entirely.
  14. Mmmm, Wenge! Looking exceptionally nice Nate!
  15. It's common knowledge that the best way to break in shrink to fits is not to wash them for at least the first 300 wears. Urinating or masturbating in them is a more personal break in preference, but proper burn in/break in is essential to a good 701, erm... I mean 501.
  16. Another night of hookin' for meth? I thought the official beer of Fairbanks was Olympia.
  17. ^ Sounds a peeling, in a zesty kind of way.
  18. So Colin, what are you thinking of your 'pants, now that you've had them a while?
  19. I'm still the founding Father of 'Side Panel Express', a subsidiary of 'Ebony Erections Audio'
  20. Ultimately I'd like to see it mixed with some MDF, but the Baltic Birch that is made of is a very stable product. It's probably a pretty good plinth. If you do find you get some resonance, you could always drill some holes in the bottom and put some lead shot in, like I did with the Colossus. Most likely it won't be necessary. The veneer is HOT! And that price is insanely cheap. I'm sure the veneer was near that alone.
  21. Installed a few entry doors today. That's always easy money. Going to see Clint Black tonight.

    Canjam 2010.

    I can't wait to meet all of you! I may have waited longer than I should have to do this, but it looks like this year will be awesome.

    Godspeed Naaman!

    :prettyprincess: Glad you made it there safe and sound, and even happier to hear that you'll be posting again! Camel Spider casserole anyone?
  24. It's almost ridiculous how good that basic combo is.
  25. Congrats Stephen!
