  1. R.I.P. Matt.
  2. I bet! I have used a 12" dado set on a Delta radial arm saw. Scared me, and I'm pretty fearless around tools.
  3. No donating biscuits Brent!
  4. Great job!!! It seems as though the donations may have slowed. We can't let that happen guys. I'm in again.
  5. Already an hour into my work day by then, but thanks for the offer.
  6. It is British weather after all. I still object to the loose use of the word mountain in the bay area though. That's a mountain!
  7. I hear that he's spending all of his time working on headphones designed for cats.
  8. That's a hell of a start to a post! I'm blushing! How was the wood? I'm talking about the lumber yard!
  9. You are what? 😝
  10. Jeff, the unit from King's Fine Woodworking not only has the benefit of extra storage on the side shelves, but I'd image those would add some rigidity as well.
  11. Have a fantastic day Ian!
  12. I've been expanding for a good 30 years now.
  13. I think it's just that you're not doing it correctly. I've posted the correct method in easy to follow steps... Step #1) pre-heat sufficiently heavy ceramic mug. Step #2) pour hot coffee into afore mentioned, heated ceramic mug. Step #3) swirl coffee around in ceramic mug to coat well. Step #4) pour coffee out of mug, into sink. Step #5) fill coated mug with Irish Cream Liqueur. Step #6) drink.
  14. Just now seeing this. In and done. As usual it's a privilege to help sponsor you for such a great cause. You are an inspiration!
  15. Colin, is that you?
  16. Technically this qualifies as cooking, because I cooked the bacon in my BLTA.
  17. You don't look a day over 19,000!
  18. It looks like they can cook, even if they can't spell.
  19. Had the best dinner. I had Steak Frite, but we kind of shared everything. Finished the evening with cones from Fairfax Scoop. Sorry no pics. The ladies didn't want me showing pics of their tripple scoop towers. Let's just pretend she does it for proper speaker separation.
  20. His monotone voice makes me sleepy.
  21. Celebrating the Birthday of Corrinne Bedecarre.
  22. Maybe they'll use his ponytail to dust off the peace treaty?
  23. Just took delivery of the last two doors for the house. One is a regular interior door, shaker style. The other was believed to be a set of bi-fold doors for the linen closet. The closet has already been trimmed out and I already hung a track for bi-fold doors (on the plans). Instead the delivery driver showed up with a giant set of French doors. The linen closet is in a narrow hallway. Thinking the order was wrong I called our man that orders and tracks these things, only to hear that he changed the doors to French doors. I'd heard Noth about French doors, and to install them now means ripping out trim for three doors connected by a long piece of header trim. Cutting out drywall and some framing to make them fit, and lastly removing and cutting back all the shelving I've already built and installed in the linen closet. All of which was gone over with the two owners of my company. When one of the owners showed up to see the progress today ( my main boss), I was happy to find out he was just as surprised. He, like myself said that French doors were way to awkward in such a small hallway. We don't know when or why they got changed. What we do know is the waiting for bi-fold doors will be at least two more months. I suggested I build doors to match the other doors, and continue with the bi-fold plan. The boss agreed that would be not only faster than ripping everything out to make the French doors work, but they just make so much more sense in a small space. Looks like I'm building doors. My boss said "I remember when you built three windows, when I forgot to order them. Now you're building doors like it's just another day at work". He likes that I don't shy away from any project. What I didn't tell him is that it's really not a difficult tasks. Let him think I'm a hero!
