    Jimmy Diresta's latest video project is a nice exercise in metalwork, including some things he's not done previously. Two metal shop stools.

    I've thought about that a few times, but ultimately decided that this is my hobby "now" so it's not worth worrying about it. My one compromise is that I take one-time/limited time use needs and go...
