Man LA has so many good Japanese players! Do you think it helps though that they’re on the west coast (closer to home)? I mean probably money and winning speaks louder than location but I think it probably might be a littler factor.

We actually went to LA in Sept for a little vacation and while we were there the Giants happened to be in town so we bought tickets and Yamamoto happened to be the starting pitcher. Tbh I didn’t even know who he was! But we have not been following baseball as much lately

@srgower.com I’m sorry man. I was rooting for ya. Kirk hacked at that first pitch and I didn’t have a good feeling about it.

Thank you 😊

Dude those are awesome! I especially love that seductive ladybot on the Robots of Dawn 😆 I sort of remember the plot point. I never read that 4th one though: Robots and Empire.

Show me a picture!

I’ve been putting off buying ink…

How does the knock out box work?

Finished the kitchen table (which I had dragged out to a 5 month ordeal, though I finished a few other projects in between including a router table and office cubby). Today we go chair shopping. Followed DKBuilds plans https://youtu.be/btPGtq0hYTE?si=zf1caK4OI5er_HYe. #woodworking

@glass.photo what’s the deal with having to back out of a photo to see the next in a feed? I’m guessing this was a conscious decision. Genuinely curious why I can’t just swipe right or left to see the next full screen photo. Absolutely love the app btw!

Look man, this ain’t no Veritas saw I have. Just some brand I’ve never heard of on Amazon. For all I know the company that made it just copied some other brand’s saw or maybe just made the saw based on a picture of a flush cut saw. Anyway, I tried bending the teeth. Didn’t work. Tape will have to do

I want to believe you are right about this. But this particular one I have is not like that. I don’t think my other one (which lives permanently behind the counter in my shop where I can’t reach) was like that either. I think it had zero set and sucked at cutting but at least didn’t scratch

No way. Ok lemme check

Well, or you could just buy drill bits with a countersink collar.

Jogged the Big Sur Shakeout 5k this morning. This is the free 5k before the real marathon tomorrow. I guess they use it to shake their legs out. I will be doing it again next year. It was fun! 🏃‍♂️ #jogging #BigSur

I used a drill press for the pilot holes on the braces then extended them into the walnut with a hand drill. The countersinks were impossible to drill at much of an angle

Btw, I’m following plans. Thought you should know, none of this came from my mind 😆 youtu.be/btPGtq0hYTE?...

Only like 1/16th. It worked perfectly. The very slightly tapered end of the dowel allows it to wedge in. The dowels are poplar, so I’ll bet they deformed a bit but they’re locked in good. Plus there’s glue.

Ah gotcha. I definitely plan on using dowels in mortises in the future again. I love the look, they feel good hammering in, and like I mentioned they also provide some function 😀

I thought about trying to hammer them flat. I just figured it wouldn’t be that malleable. I’ll give it a try

I think your other question is asking about the diagonal pieces? It just makes it more rigid. But maybe that’s not needed once you put the table top on. Idk but it looks good having those light accent pieces 😆

I used glue but before glue was invented I guess this method was enough.

Legs are not removable. They are dowels - not hiding any screws. They are called drawbore mortise and tenons: the holes on the mortise are slightly offset with the holes on the tenon and the dowels are tapered on the end you can’t see. The idea is that when you hammer them in it make a tight fit

Idk man I don’t really see woodworking equipment. I don’t know what the long table is for. It has raise edges. And weird handle doohickies 🤷‍♂️

Why thank you. Hammering in those dowels was one of the most pleasurable things I’ve done as a woodworker.

The end is in sight #woodworking

Not impressed with this flush cut saw at all. The teeth are not flush. Had to raise the surface by sticking tape on it. And while the teeth are sharp, it makes a pretty ragged cut. Makes me want to keep trying to fish out the better (and cheaper) one I lost behind the counter last year #woodworking

Table base glued up and finished ✅ First coat anyway #woodworking

Omg that is BEAUTIFUL. Good job man!

Awesome! I built a coffee table very similar to this. Nice work. What will the seat be made of?
