Definitely felt this too

No!

Whew. It already feels like I put in so much work to get to this point and I’m not even half way done with the construction

😡

It’s at this point in a project where i have to remind myself that I’m the only one who is going to focus on the minor imperfections

Chocolate mousse and chocolate pudding are the same thing and nothing you can say will convince me otherwise

My neighbor just taught me about speed tenoning and I feel like now I have for demand probably dangerous knowledge

I already regret the mortises. Why did I have to try and be fancy??? Domino would have been so much faster and more accurate

It looks really nice

I, too, resent everyone named Quincy

Highly browned duck leg in cassoulet

Plated cassoulet

I’m just a nasty little cassoulut

That’s a homonym! (Which means it’s gay)

because he lives in turkey and they dont have a fucked up healthcare insurance industry. wait why are you looking at me like that? What did you think I meant?

You know who will never get a health insurance claim denied? Yusuf Dikec.

This skeet is a palindrome!

Thanks man

How do you get blocked so much. I haven’t been blocked yet. No one even cares about me enough to block me

What is halcyon? Like the fabric?

Bro that looks sinful

Hanging the keys off the side seems to look ok. I think this works. Project done

A picture of the key hooks and how they aren’t spaced far enough apart to let keys fit in them easily

But I probably should have measured how far keys dangled down before designing this thing 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Looks really great!

Never enough clamps. If you’re looking for a gift for a woodworker, they will always appreciate more clamps.

Time for the hardest and most stressful part: glue up.

4 posts/legs, 4 long rails 4 short rails, 4 stiles made of mahogany

Carcass parts all milled up. Now I gotta amp myself up to cut real mortise and tenons and not just reach for the domino

Several very thick pieces of mahogany placed in top of a table saw.

Meant to get a before picture but I’m breaking down this massive piece of 10/4 mahogany to get almost all the pieces of a carcass. It was fun until I realized I was using my crosscut blade for rips. 😵‍💫

That’s fucked up!
