My brother had his new garage designed to emulate the oldest building in town, which is called the Woodside Store and is now a museum. The back side has a wrap around covered porch like the original shown below. Tom took me there last week to show me some benches and feed troughs that he thought were cool. He wondered whether I might be able to replicate them with the reclaimed redwood that Steve and I have been using to panel his wife's tack rooms. Here are some lousy pics of the originals. I brought a stack of the redwood home to finish planing and milling and decided to take a stab at them. I didn't do measurements but used those pics to make designs and a template that I used for the bench legs and trough dividers. Here are some crappy pics of the two benches, one standing trough and one low one I made.

Looks pretty good. Did you add liquid as you form it?

I guess I'm planning on going to canjam on Saturday but one day will be plenty. Claire and I just got tickets to see John Zorn Masada Quartet at the Village Vanguard at 3:00pm on Sunday 2/26. Julian Lage is playing guitar for this gig. We had a pretty big Head-case contingent for a Zorn show in SF years ago, and most people doubled down for the second set. This is just a Sunday matinee, but does anyone else want to join? Tickets available here: https://villagevanguard.squadup.com/2022.html Figuring on brunch or lunch with the crew beforehand. Claire and I are having dinner at some friends that night, just FYI.

Happy Actual Birthday Jeff! Cheers!

Oneida remote sucks brass balls. There are work around options online but I haven't done anything yet. Oddly enough, I managed to collapse the 6" hose connecting the drum to the Supercell today. Not quite sure how, but I was planing redwood and it was over full before I noticed the flashing red light.

The bang is there to stay. The suction on the Supercell is not to be tempered.

Great new Julian Lage album in collaboration with Bill Frissell.

That's a serious haul and $15 is crazy.

What didn't you like about the Oneida four inch hose? It will certainly never collapse and I have not had any trouble with it.

If you haven't seen this skit, it is must see TV!

Seems like quite an upgrade.

100 feet is not too long for the Supercell

@morphsci and @naamanf Did you guys book tickets yet?

Have a great one big bro! Cheers!

Have fun today Adam, and I hope you can get back on the trails now that it isn't raining 24/7. Cheers!

Now that's boring!

Hope it's been a great one Grahm! 😁 I'll be joining you in 60 club in a couple of months... Cheers!

Upcycled redwood siding from the former house on the lot where my brother's new house is. This is the tack room in my sister in law's new barn. It's looking very sweet for a rustic utilitarian space. Still need to finish the ceiling and trim around the doors and window. And then there's another tack room in the garage, aka the tacky room.

Seen on the road in SF today. Good get.

Did you really not get my "joke"? 🥺 See, if that thing were a fuck machine and you sat on it facing the clamp then the clamp would crush your junk. While being penetrated. Get it? 😣 Cool idea for pocket holes tho, bro.

Get on it, dammit!

Woot! This is going to be fun! Did Jim get past 70:30 yet?

Is that the bit that you're going to use in your pocket hole? I really don't like that clamp placement, but I guess it depends on which way you face when you sit on that thing.
