Thought for the day….
- Making hand cut dovetails…more simple then it looks once you realize the tricks
- Adjusting your jointer or planner knives…with the right knife holder, it goes pretty fast and quick
- Getting (4) 45º corners to line up….difficult, but doable with the right cutting tools
- Getting a flat finish with poly without dust nibs or sagging…possible with the right book or instructions
- Getting to the trunion bolts on a tablesaw…easy once you realize you only need to loosen three to get the trunion adjusted
- Accessing www.familywoodworking.com at a cheap hotel in Zimbabwe…difficult and slow, but certainly achievable
- Getting the Mr or Mrs to go along with that expensive woodworking purchase…easy once you present her the idea that you could build her that new project she always wanted
- Lugging 16 sheets of 3/4inch plywood from the local BORG…easy once you grab the keys to their fork truck and start it up and yell real loud “I don’t work here but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night”, and gun the motor. (help arrives VERY quickly every time I do this.)
- Cutting down a big Ash in waist deep snow in the middle of January so you can have lumber next year…very exhausting, but satisfying work
- Potty Training a 19 month old little girl…DOWN RIGHT IMPOSSIBLE! (I just spent 30 minutes in the bathroom with her after she looked up at me and said…Potty. We read books, we made up songs, we played patty-cake…and yet nothing. We finally change her diaper, walk out of the bathroom and into the living room and she stops and says “Uh oh.” Then the unmistakable funk of a soiled diaper begins to swirl around her. How a beautiful 34 inch high, 27 pound girl can smell so bad, so quickly, is a phenomena NASA should investigate. But why, oh why Alyson could you not do such a thing two minutes ago while we were on the potty?
