7 pointsThanks everyone - had a spectacular day! My daughter, Lizzie, home for three weeks from Australia not only brought me a spectacular bottle of single malt (Balvenie triple cask, 16 year), she'd also organized a cat for me! From a rehoming center that we've had several cats from before. Picked him up yesterday - a super affectionate four year old, initially called Wolfie, but now renamed Oberon. 5.2kg (11.5lb) of muscle. Our previous cat, also rehomed, we had to say farewell to a few months ago aged 19. My son bought the food, climbing tower etc for Oberon. And Carole bought us tickets to see Wagner's Lohengrin at the Royal Opera House in May. The usual 4 hour Wagner epic, And finally my son Rob, Lizzie, Carole and I went out for a meal together last night https://www.brunningandprice.co.uk/greyhound/ So one hell of a good day!!7 points

A little thing, but if you need a 58mm tamper, this is a very good one for the money made by a Ukrainian company. I have one in red. It’s dead on 58, so basket fit is pretty universal (though of course there can be a little ring depending on basket and/or dose).2 points

2 pointsI like the vaguely Flintstones feel to it. 🥴 I'm amazed by the difficult projects you decide to take on as your first attempt to use a tool or learn a skill. I haven't even attempted a curve on my bandsaw let alone a complicated curved box. Give yourself some time to practice before deciding you aren't good at it, and maybe pick something easier to start off.2 points

Tried to build this but found even with the 1/4” blade I could not cut smooth curves like the YouTube guys. Also managed to combine CA glue and wood glue when mounting the handle, then walked away without cleaning up squeeze out and left myself with a glue line I cannot manage to sand or chisel.

1 point1 pointYup, I can imagine a few people proud to wear that sheet of art as a tattoo in the back.1 point1 pointWell with the $700 loyalty discount and the $400 trade in for my old Note 9, this phone was $100. That made it a no brainer for me.1 point1 pointGood choice! I cheaped out and got a Samsung S21 FE 5G. It's more than enough of a phone that what I really need.1 point1 pointGot my new Samsung S22 Ultra and I'm learning the new features. So far I'm really liking it.1 point1 pointLeave it to Naaman to have Walnut cabinets in his shop. When do the Wenge floors get installed?1 point1 pointFancy. One wall is done in the garage. I now have 23 outlets on that one wall, where I had 2 to begin with.1 point1 pointThanks. The Aeras will sell for 5,995 Euro and $6,695 USD. The euro fluctuates against the dollar, but we'll keep the pricing as is, unless there are some larger swings. We're going to offer a show special of 10% off which I can extend here as well through mid-March1 point1 point1 pointI meant to post this last week when I actually built it, but forgot to. I also forgot to take finished pictures with the newel caps in place, but use your imagination. A couple of weeks ago one of the bosses told me that he forgot to call the stair guy to build railings at the new addition of a smallish job. By the time he remembered, the stair guys schedule was too far out to meet our deadline. The railings needed to mimick the existing railings of the San Francisco Victorian home. He asked me if it was something I thought that I could do. Stairs and railings are usually a specialty, and as such are usually subbed out. A sub genre of finish carpentry, if you will. I haven't actually built indoor railings before, but I knew it was something that I could accomplish. There were no solid newel posts available in the size that I needed, so I built my own. As these will be painted, I used Poplar. It's a good, stable wood that doesn't have the most beautiful color or grain pattern, but is easy to mill and takes paint very well. The exception are the pickets, which are Alaskan Yellow Cedar. Kind of felt right using a wood from my home state. It's not soft like the usual Cedars, and has a very unique smell when cut. I got to use a lot of tradesman tricks and practices, and a lot of the math that I told my teachers I'd never need. Yes, they we're right. I did a lot of good preparation, so it wasn't just dumb luck, but it did fall together beautifully. The absence of a lower rail that the pickets sit on is a bit unique, but the existing rails pickets also connect directly to the stair treads. It actually works quite well at tying the newer, somewhat modern addition to the classic Victorian style. The caps not pictured are a pretty simple double cap design, with the bottom cap being 5/4 material, with a smaller top cap of 3/4.
