I was born in Tucson in 1968, went to CDO and UofA, but this list is the first time I’ve ever heard of Valley of the Moon. I missed out all these years. 😢

Iowa republican caucus voters were polled and 30% said they wouldn’t vote for trump if he is convicted. Of course, the election is months away, so too many of them will surely backslide, but still. It was a higher percentage in New Hampshire, too.

We’ll just see about that.

Apart from my first DE, a Maggard MR5, all my razors are vintage. It’s really interesting to explore all these different kinds in the thread.

Hyperbolic headline. His speeches “aren't demanding the world's attention like they used to.”

Ah, the old ‘60s/‘70s repub-demo switcharoo!

Yeah, that’s what I’ve thought too every time His name has come up in the last several months, heh.

 

Some little chickens I just turned. Inspired by Andy’s Cornish Creations, from L to R: birch, Myrtlewood, some kind of rosewood (we think), and maple.

 

The guy’s children were doing the sale and didn’t know what this is. It was too beautiful to pass up.

Here’s another angle. The pics are really close to the actual color.

 

I just finished this bandsaw box today; my first serious attempt. The Smile Box design is originally by Parillaworks.

Mine is white oak, with an American cherry drawer pull and Myrtlewood feet. The box was finished with Danish oil, and for the pull and feet I used walnut oil.

Apple Watch for scale (I just threw out my last banana).

 

Assuming proper alignment, is clamp n glue of the planks good enough joinery for long-term stability?

 

2x4s, mdf top, pocket-hole screws, (some pocket-holed and some counterbored).

 

Saw it on the Kreg site and mostly followed the plan. All 2x4s with pocket holes.
