Now you're talking like a true wood-o-phile!

Not sure that I like the addition of the aviary background singers.

Pretty damned sweet. Your shut lines are perfection. Not an easy accomplishment. Is it going in your house?

RIP Ronnie.

Be careful, you're pretty far North. I can see armies of Canadian squirrels invading for those.

I have gone to school in -38 f. That's not the coldest weather I've been in though. That would be -65 f. To be honest, once you get below -35 f, there doesn't seem to be a lot of difference. The boogers in your nose freeze, and kind of hurt. Your jaw muscles are the first to numb, and therefore your mouth opens. That causes you to breath through your mouth, which in turn causes your breath to freeze your eyelashes together. Breathing in air that cold absolutely hurts.

Ah, that's a sight from my past that warms my heart. Drunk people passed out in the snow. Oh, wait, nevermind.

I notice there's always sliced banana with your curry dishes. Is that tradition? It's not something I've seen before, and was curious.

Well shit. So the gimp suit I just ordered won't be getting me any brownies?

What do masochist and sadist have to do with sugar? But I'd probably let somebody whip me for one of those brownies!

Crazy, fuckin' cool!

You used to love my technique!

BTW, I developed a great technique for whitewashed pine paneling, when I had to do an entire house. I bought 20 gallons of water based polyurethane (big house), then had the paint store tint it White and thoroughly mix it. A couple of samples and we got the amount of White tint just right. Then I used a Graco airless sprayer to apply. No whiping down needed, and no streaks. Sealed the walls great too.

If it were a kitchen or bathroom, where one might need to whipe down the walls now and then, I'd agree with a clear sealer. In your case it would be an unnecessary expense and labor. The watered down paint will hold up just fine. I speak from experience. Great job BTW! And I agree that it would be a sin to remove that beautiful patina from the floor.

Today's adventure entails mortising 22 door blanks to fit in existing door frames. First I need to cut the blanks to proper width, as the old frames are about 1/4" smaller than the new blanks. Then I use my lockset mortising jig to drill out for the knobs. Then I use my hing mortising jig to router away the hinge inset. The self centering, spring loaded drill bit makes quick work of attaching the hinges.

$12? They're giving them away! I'll absolutely try one.

He's bullshitting all of us. Those are bites from a vampire. He's going to turn within 24 hours. We should use his own ping pong table to carve the stakes we'll drive through his vampire heart!

From all the research I was able to do, I don't believe this is the case with this. But I'm still going to disappoint everyone, because I can't think of another cordless tool that I could use, or fit in the van. This will go to restart the savings that got decimated.

I've heard that married people pull it off a lot.

Just received an unexpected stimulus check from the state of California. $600 dollars is a nice surprise any day.

Hmmm, that's where I first heard them. I was 9 and we were in Corpus Christi, TX. D.O.A. was popular on the radio. I just assumed it was popular nation wide.

It's rift sawn White Oak. No doubt about it.

I would imagine Dexter Morgan would have some extra fingers lying around.

Have a great day Renato!

Have a fantastic day!
