When I was at Al's Brother Tom's house for Thanksgiving yesterday, I came upon this log that was cut from a fallen tree. I realized that I had about 20 minutes before dinner would be served and I happened to have a 1/4" chisel in my pocket that I forgot to put away, so... It just happened to fit on this metal stand that they had.

Well, it is Trump country after all.

Prepping my contributions to the enormous Bedecarre clan Thanksgiving dinner. First is Texas Trash (Chex mix). Second is my best dish, and a holiday tradition in my family. My homemade macaroni and cheese. Guaranteed to clog at least one artery. 4.5 lbs. Cheese (Tillamook cheddar and pepper jack) 1 qt. heavy cream, 1 qt. sour cream, 1 lb. bacon (crumbled) and 2 lbs. macaroni. Third is a recipe I've not made before. An internet find. Roasted Brussel Sprouts with browned buttered hazelnuts and pickled shallots.

Have a great time with family and friends!

Texas Trash (or Chex mix for those without Texan parents).

Now you guys are just throwing fake phrases out there to fuck with me. And it's working.

Ooh, rain gutter as bass port, interesting to be sure.

I agree with Dusty. What electronics are in the chain?

Have a phenomenal day!

Looks cozy!

Wether you're in the US or Spain ATM, have a fantastic day!

That's porcelain tile, with a wood look. Each tile is 36" × 24".

Without protective coverings... Without protective coverings...

'Bout time!

Since it's pegged, it surely will drop at a rapid pace. It's been 21 years since I shoveled snow, and I'd be quite content to go at least another 21. I did have 40 years of shoveling bliss after all. Time to let someone else have some of the fun.

Building back on the new job. The painters have their work cut out for them, making the battered old trim look good. I only have to trim two doors with old trim. You know you're working on an old house when the nails you remove look like this.

And once again I want to thank my force field disguised as a bald spot, for keeping the wood chips out of my eyes.

I originally pictured this stand with Maple legs. Then we discovered the White Oak, which is either leftover from the floating bench I built for Mizen, or the recent railing I built for Mizen. I got a screaming deal on the Mahogany as Al stated, and new it was going to make a beautiful table or stand. I really love this combination, and time will deepen the Mahogany similarly to Cherry. Love the "chunkiness" made elegant by the tapered legs. I had a lot of fun building this with Milo, and love that he gets to enjoy this piece, as he's always building for others. Our next project for Claire is also going to be a fun build. Stay tuned.

Thanks for the recommendation. This is indeed good.

Looks interesting. I'll start tonight.

You've been watching too many arguments from Trump lawyers to Special Master Dearie.

Be thankful Mikey! This is the cheap smoker he bought...

I imagine Milo will add pics post assembly, loaded with gear.
