Happy 40th!

I've had that setup, with a Thinkpad, for 3 years.

I love card scrapers. Different brands have different hardnesses, and work better for different applications. I have both Veritas and Lie Nielsen. The veritas are a little harder and hold an edge better, the LN are a little softer and a little gentler and seem less likely to tear out across the grain. Both are super useful. And cheap. Also, Crucible for avoiding sharp corners.

Happy birthday!

I don't think they are my favorite band, but if someone made the argument that they are the best band, I'd be hard pressed to argue against them.

Happy Birthday!

I've been super slow about everything lately. But I did just get a note this morning that the final piece I need shipped. So ask again on a week or so.

Fair enough. Liquid nails will stay a little flexible so should be okay

We've debated what we would do. Hard to know if it helps or hurts selling the house. (Which is not on the horizon at this point) You do recall that this kitchen renovation project started in 2018. Is that a thing to do? I'd imagine wood movement will crack the glue. I think I'd put a dot of silicone and let its weight hold it in place. Or else drill little mortises into the quartz and add some corresponding tenons to the frame to keep it from shifting

At the bottom of the feet there are cutouts for adding leveling blocks to compensate for floor variance. I put the cabinets in place, level them with shims, measure the spaces with feeler gauge blocks and then plane down small pieces to fill in the gaps.

A tall skinny cabinet. (with a closeup of the stand.)

Not in CT as far as I can find. But I haven't looked in a few years.

BB is in short supply around here. I got the last 4 sheets of 12mm from the local lumber yard a few weeks ago and they told me they were unable to get more for the foreseeable future

With a ladder, but it wouldn't fit more than half in the shower. So reaching the corner was awkward

I love tile, but I dislike almost all the tile you can actually find. Good tile is rare. Also, the tile is heavy, getting a ladder in the space is impossible so everything was weirdly cantilevered, and vertigo.

Here's the tile w/ grout. It's a quite small bathroom. We had to tear out tile that was done in the late 1920's, which was very sad, but the pipes were leaking. We did preserve the plaster crown, but it was otherwise a total gut. And I'd like to say that tiling the ceiling is probably the most difficult thing I have ever done in my life.

Which was delightful when it came time to grout it.

Maybe you are using the wrong amplifier ...
