Another late evening in the workshop

[Brian Holcombe]

It’s after six, after all.

[Frederick Skelly]

So I guess your date stood you up? (Happens to me too.) ;)

[Ryan Mooney]

Must be a pretty high speed camera to catch the blade teeth like they were stopped ;)

[Joe Bailey]

The pocket square is over the top!

[ken hatch]

Brian,

Too funny, good show.

[Jim Koepke]

It needs background music…

[Bill Carey]

pretty cool Mr. Bond. Now, did you tie that bow tie or did you clip it on??

[Mel Fulks]

It's all a one piece polyester suit. "Drip dry" is back!

[Stewie Simpson]

Kind of explains the carpeted workshop.

[Phil Mueller]

I beg to differ, Fred, his date is right in front of him. Very dapper, Brian.

[Steven Mikes]

Sometimes I get home from work and don't bother changing before going to the shop. I'm an engineer though so the fanciest I get is button up shirts with a sweater. Sure got me beat! I love the cuff links.

[Brian Holcombe]

Haha, glad you guys enjoyed this one. We got ready for a wedding and so I couldn't resist :D I had planned a video but ran out of time.

A clip on bowtie!?! Not a chance. ;)

[Stanley Covington]

The Dapper Woodworker! The Man.. The Legend.

I assume the cufflinks come off, and the embroidered slipper go on, when planing

You are in good company, Brian.

[Brian Holcombe]

Haha! I have to admit having considered a waistcoat for this work.

[Al Launier]

So where's the stealthy shoulder holster? Don't leave home without it.

[James Pallas]

Feet, feet! No shoes it didn't happen. If barefoot it could be true. Just say'n
Jim

[Matt Lau]

Classy PPE

[michael langman]

Brian, You should sell that picture to the maker o your band saw for advertising.
Get a nice commission on every sale thereafter!

[Stanley Covington]

Brian has the ability to quickly vibrate the wood against the blade to cut it without turning on a motor. And so the legend grows.

[Malcolm Schweizer]

No hearing protection, no dust mask... what kind of slob are you, anyway? :-)

[Tom Trees]

A modern take on what the well dressed Robinson brothers wore back in the day :)

He is... the most interesting woodworker in the world

Haha- gave me ideas

[Christopher Charles]

Clearly the secret message being extracted from the inside of the board by Mr. Bond will self destruct...

[Brian Holcombe]

Hah, this thread has been a lot of fun. You guys have me rollin'!

[Phil Mueller]

“Due to the extreme demand of high quality custom pieces, I’m pleased to announce that Brian Holcombe Woodworking is expanding. Let me introduce you to my two new apprentices....”

[Edwin Santos]

Heh - his jacket cut is just like his bandsaw guides - European.

[Chuck Nickerson]

What can I say, I enjoy your work and your sense of humor, or is that humour.

What adhesive does Brian use? Bond, JBond.

[Brian Holcombe]

:D

Those guys look pretty sharp.

[Dave Zellers]

Now THAT! is something to aspire to.

The bandsaw, that is.....:cool:

[John Towns]

Can I presume that you wear white when working before 6 PM?

[Zach Dillinger]

"No Mr. Bond, I expect you to resaw!"

[Prashun Patel]

I take my martinis shaken, not stirred.
I take my boards planed, not sanded.

[Phil Mueller]

For special occasions, Mr Holcombe abhors using common cologne, and prefers the scent of exotic hardwood. Freshly cut of course.

[Stanley Covington]

I can imagine Brian doing whiskey commercials wearing his tuxedo like Bill Murray in the movie Lost in Translation. And maybe like Jethro Gibbs, he empties out screws from a jam jar on his workbench and pours a drop for himself and his vistors.

A classy guy!

[Patrick Chase]

I take my boards planed, not sanded.

Are you sure he isn't hiding a SuperMax just out of frame there? Brian has fallen to the Dark Side of late, and there's no telling what depths his depravity may reach.

[Brian Holcombe]

Bah, no sanders. I certainly plan more machines but likely they will be; Sliding table shaper, sliding table saw, Maka mortiser or other mortisers and similar stuff. I would like to bring my metal working tools in house as well, but that's quite unlikely with my current layout. I have a bridgeport mill and a small metal lathe that would be nice to have immediate access to.

Hehe, I love this thread!

John, I'm out in the country, so patterns like gun check, small stripes, tattersal, madras plaid, and big plaids are all in play. I can't help myself but to have a bold stripe now and again.

[Matt Lau]

I can totally picture Brian doing this commercial:

[Malcolm McLeod]

I am pretty sure there IS a movie series in here:

Dr. Notch
Chiselfinger
Thunderplaner
You Only Measure Twice
On Her Majesty's Shoji Service
Carbides are Forever
Live and Let Dovetail
The Man with the Golden Blockplane
Quantum of Sawdust

....The list could go on.

Hmm, maybe for the Suntory side of the company? :D ;)

[Patrick Chase]

I think we've lost something in translation here.

[Malcolm McLeod]

And if we want to keep the series fresh and current with recent - - shall we say .....acquisitions-

The Spy Who Lathed Me

(This definitely has possibilities!):cool:

[Brian Holcombe]

I think we've lost something in translation here.

The own Jim Beam (it's now Beam Suntory) and they make whisky much to my preference, like Hibiki and so forth.

Yeah I was playing off of the fictional Suntory ad that provides the backstory for Lost in Translation...

[Patrick McCarthy]

Yeah I was playing off of the fictional Suntory ad that provides the backstory for Lost in Translation...

Kind of ironic it got lost in the interpretation . . . . . but it was a tad bit on the esoteric side; none-the-less, well played, sir. Well played.

[Brian Holcombe]

Hah, that is well done, he’s wearing a tuxedo in the ad as well.

[Stanley Covington]

Dr. Nomi

Mortiseraker

[James Waldron]

Mortiseraker

Oh, the horror! Raking his mortises with one of those Japanese chisels? Say it ain't so, Stan, say it ain't so!

[Stanley Covington]

Shaken, not raked, and with a twist of lemon.

[Joe Tilson]

(caption) Sorry, Moneypenny, I'm on another project at the moment.

[Matt Lau]

I think you're referring to this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4WzUn94gBQ

No tux, though.

[Stanley Covington]

Ah yes, Suntory, Industrial alcohol artistically blended in a weeks-old formula containing artificial flavors and colorants.

The sun is over the yardarm somewhere.
