Perhaps TMI and definitely not something we were thinking of buying. Also, not in the same category as the classic Binford 5000, but the BB-2000 is a worthy addition to the tool box. We received one as a Christmas gift and didn’t install it because it requires a nearby GFI protected outlet. My...

For Sale, and pick up in Yorktown, VA or you pay shipping…a lightly used Monster Articulated Arm Hollowing System. I used it on my Powermatic 4224 lathe and was pleased with it, but wanted to do larger pieces and went a different route for hollowing. I believe this will work on lathes with...

My Grandson passed away suddenly a while back and, true to form, I've procrastinated making something to hold his ashes. For the past several weeks I've been trying to put something nice together and here is the result. Michigan chocolate sides, ebony splines and spalted silver maple divider...

Spent the day making various brittles for neighbor gifts. A bit late, but it's still the season and the same old recipe remains mighty tasty. Peanut, pecan, cashew and almond this year.

It's been a long, long time but I finally got off the naughty list. :rofl: :rofl:

The new kitties were using the potted plants sitting under the south facing windows as a jungle jim, making more mess for me to police up. To try and slow them down I cobbled together a plant stand/window table over the weekend using a wide poplar board that has been getting in the way, some...

Bet that got your attention. Roughly 20% of cataract surgeries result in the body clouding up the capsule holding the artificial lens, so your vision becomes blurred. When I did my annual exam the doctor noticed the clouding and referred me to a specialist. The condition can be easily...

...Not too late to get tickets for the Testicle Festival! Food, fun and games for adults of all ages :rofl:

A few weeks ago the local Kroger had bone in pork butts on sale for 99¢ a pound, the lowest price around here in quite a while. I picked up a couple and rather than slow smoking them for traditional pulled pork decided to try something called buckboard bacon. Cut out the bones and opened up...

It's a great hobby that gives you exercise, fresh air and food on the table: , , , ,

Repurposed of one of the woodsie scrap yard road signs into a tool holder on this new battery storage/ charging station now hiding behind the garage man door in a space usually occupied by dusty umbrellas and spiders. These tools and batteries have been taking up horizontal real estate on top...

I was fortunate to buy a couple of Lie-Nielsen planes BR (Before retirement). One of them was the 60-1/2 Adjustable Mouth Block Plane, which has been a favorite. A few weeks back I was using it outside in the rain to bevel the edges on a bunch of crap wood, and almost dropped it on the...

18.25" x 8.5"...Same tree as the procrastination bowl, but not quite as spalted and a bit darker in color. This was the last of the big rough outs that have been kicking me in the shins for the past few years. Holds at least 1.75L. I may need to build a bigger table. These are just big old...

Ten years ago one of my neighbors took down a couple of big tulip poplars and their tree service was happy to give me several of the logs. I let them sit for a year(s) or so and they spalted nicely, but got a bit punky. I rough turned a couple of large blanks and put them up in the attic for a...

It's that time of year. I have been cranking out homemade nut brittle for family and the neighborhood gift exchange for many years. The basic recipe came from an old Gourmet magazine back in the 80's and the result is a nice crunchy product that won't break your teeth. This is not for those on...

A few Gnomes for Christmas gifts to the Gnome collectors in the family. They range from 5" to 9" tall and are made from walnut, cherry and spalted maple and grey stained holly. One coat of sanding sealer then buffed and waxed. I made three before I realized they could easily be made into...

Either my computer fu is gone or Bessey is Grinching out on us this year. Can't find the usual 12 Days of Christmas anywhere.

Free to a good home HP ink cartridges. As usual, whenever I buy a new printer the cartridges from the old machine are not a fit for the new machine. If you can use 951XL color and/or 950XL cartridges PM me with your address and I will send them on their way. The black ones have a use by date of...

You can’t beat a hydraulic splitter for some wood, but for just a few rounds in a place with limited access the mighty wedge rules. The maul was just bouncing off this oak branch and it was too darn hot to wear myself swinging it, so I broke out the splitting wedges and a 3 lb hammer. Got it...

A few pieces of pipe and some greenhouse misters from Amazon dropping the temperature by 20 degrees…if you don’t mind getting a little wet.
