Milestone might be a stretch, but this lens would be a big step if it makes it to market. But you'd have to be a professional photographer or at...

Your post reminded me of my neander friend who absolutely swears by his hand crank grinder which he uses to do the same as your grandfathers and...

In Ashley's defense, I think she's just a modest person from a modest non-entitled background, and she was reflecting on the price she paid for her...

OP here, many interesting perspectives in this thread. I've also informally polled veteran acquaintances, friends and others in passing. It seems...

I think at this point we can just agree to disagree and build according to our own method preferences. Edwin

Definitely a Texan :)

I don't think anyone is saying the companies that manufacture chairs are incompetent. What Bob Flexner (certainly not incompetent) is saying in the...

Well as has been pointed out from time to time, we do have some old dawgs around here, but I think you're right on this one. Edwin

Jim, Good job if you bought gold at $10/ounce and have held it. Even if it were 30 years ago, at today's spot rate, your return has been over 18%...

Hello Derek, Just looked at your link and yes indeed, what you are demonstrating is the same orientation as what Frank had us do. Although your...

You probably know this, but what you have described is a strategy that helped make Ray Dalio of Bridgewater Associates one of the wealthiest people...

Looking at the S&P 500, the bottom was March 9, 2009. From that point forward we have been in a bull market in the US based on moving averages and...

Heh, I used to tell anyone who thought the USVI was expensive to definitely avoid Bermuda or worse yet, Grand Cayman, especially if you have a heart...

Thank you for posting this Erik! It sounds like the kind of show I would like to travel to attend. Couldn't agree with you more, there is a very...

Nice work OP! Another way to look at this; if you are not doing this for a living, and you enjoy dovetailing, why speed up the process? Immerse...

Bill, If simple is better for you, then here is an idea. Take a drive to the nearest art supply place. Pick out a tube of oil paint in the correct...

Thanks for the math. Sounds good in theory. Do you have a comment on the source articles from Flexner and Wandel? Wandel's test in particular...

Not true? Well here's my source (besides my own experience) - an article written by Bob Flexner, a well known published woodworker whose article...

Dowel Joinery rocks! I hate to use the term better or worse, all I'm saying is dowel joinery has been a great method to have in my repertoire. ...

He would be thrilled to hear you say that. Modest guy that he is, I heard him say in a fairly recent interview that arthritis has restricted his...

Interesting caul making methods, thanks for sharing. My way seems primitive compared to what's been shown, but here goes: Take the jointed caul...

Very well then - another alternative I have done is to cut away the strip. Let's stay it is 48" long x 4" high. Now that you have the opening,...

I heard an interesting practice from a professional (maybe here). When installing a run of kitchen uppers, in order to deal with uncooperative stud...

This is true. I remember back to my high school days when the jocks and studs were all listening to Journey and Boston, I was holed up with a bunch...

How could the radius of the cove cut ever be larger than the radius of the blade? I can see where different approach angles and/or blade tilts...

Have you looked up what it would be worth today if you had not cashed out? Might be an interesting comparison for you. Disclaimer: I admit to being...

Malcolm, I agree with the overall return based on a 30x multiple over the 30 year time period, however the dividend ought to be part of the...

Or you just hold it and unless there is something fatally wrong with the company, it will go up again because all stocks cycle, again unless...

Hi, I vote for the Dewalt 621. It is essentially a re-branded Elu router and though it has been out for a long time, the design was ahead of it's...

Now you're talking. Most of the Shun knives are high carbon clad with Damascus steel. Their claim to fame is the combination of the layers of...
