  1. Maybe they're under the apple crisp I sent ...
  2. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/João_Gilberto_(album)
  3. Dovetails in oak is no small feat. But how sad to put that much effort into a bed for one.
  4. You guys must have used very different sapele than I did
  5. Here's a small desk that goes with the table from above. To make the legs adjustable, I cut mortises in the ends of each leg and I simply press fit different size blocks in them to account for the floor (in a 125 year old house) being out of level. The wood is the same brown oak, but the finish is a soap finish so it appears a bit lighter. The top is a scrap of solid surface, and the corner joints were made how they were to provide corner support. I also wanted to say that I set every one of those ~3000 tiles (a skill I learned from @swt61).
  6. Japanese milk bread (or pain fesse) and some chevre, roasted potato, and dill quiche.
  7. You might try Corian remnants for these. https://www.solidsurface.com/
  8. Something else. This is a cube made for no particular reason - just thinking through an idea. This was a more hand tool intensive project, facilitated by the use of cypress which is very east to work.
  9. More power tools than hand tools, and primarily on the table saw. I use an incra positioner and a custom ground dado blade. I like doing stuff with hand tools but I am nowhere near good enough with them.
  10. The base is birch which I get locally, because birch. The brown wood is English brown oak which is white oak from England that has been killed by a fungus that turns it brown. It's from https://www.hearnehardwoods.com/oak-english-brown-lumber-2/ I used it for my kitchen cabinets, and that bundle in the yard was one of 5 of those I bought. Pics of that later as I am still finishing the cabinet doors. And a detail on how the leveling feet work ...
  11. Here's a step by step of a project that I finally completed ...
  12. This is very flattering from @swt61. I assume he is just looking for more turtle pond pictures ...
  13. Watch Live: NASA's DART mission on course to hit asteroid "head-on" | CBS News

  15. The book is truly terrible. But I think the show still stands up against anything peak TV can throw at it. In particular, shows like the sopranos, g.o.t., breaking bad etc. all seem to say that when circumstances are trying, people become selfish and cruel. MASH otoh shows people in the most desperate of circumstances doing just the opposite.
  16. I think grizzly and shopfox are the same machines. Shopfox has a better warranty and local support and thus a higher price
  17. Agree. Helical heads are nice, but not necessary. People jointed boards for a long time without them. The shopfox is 2x the hp, has more knives, and has some other features that might be worth having. Either should be great. I think the simplicity belies the amount of consideration and thought that went into it. We went through a lot of design ideas before coming to this. Minimalism is harder than maximlism.
