I am very happy to finally be able to post in this thread! There is more detail in the thread I started, but I finished this on Saturday:
...

BTW, I can't believe that no one said anything about my marking knife. DW was not at all happy when she saw it, but she didn't say anything, just gave me that look, a combination of this :eek: and...

Well I had some allergy issues and was not able to finish last week, however Saturday I was able to complete the wagon and blocks. I wanted to share some pictures. Here is the wagon before finish...

Unfortunately, as a whole, we have perpetuated the price alone mentality in this country. This is why harbor freight and Walmart thrive. However not everyone shops and buys on price alone. For...

Hello Ray. The 86 was measured with a finger tip scanner. The morning of the trach surgery my dad and wife had to each grab an arm because I did not have the strength to walk. Within a few weeks of...

Last night I finished routing the faces on the blocks for the first wagon. Today I am going into Abilene to seek some wood for the wheels and dowels for the axles. There is not a lot to choose from...

Neil, I could not have stated it any better, and it is good to be back.

It absolutely feels great. Before all this started, I would occasionally get emotional, but could usually control it pretty...

I did get to see the wagon I made for my sister's nephew last year and it still looks great. She told me that his sisters used to pull him in the wagon, even though it was not really built for that,...

Ummm... Wow!

This post has been a long time coming. It is also seriously long, so you may want to just move on. After nearly five years, I got to do some woodworking this weekend. I am notorious for giving too...

Bill, thank you for being so generous. I am going to try and plan a trip your way after the first of the year and hope that we can hang out for awhile.

I have decided to rip them in half in two...

Cheap is not necessarily my motivation. The cheapest solution would be to just plane it down but I don't want to waste if I don't have to and of course some time spent meeting and hanging out with a...

Due to serious illness I have been out of the woodworking scene for nearly four years. For my reintroduction, I am starting small, making Norm's alphabet wagon for my two nephews. Most of my tools...

I had the Nicad driver/drill as well as the Jig saw. After using a friends impact, I had to have one. I got the 199 lithium kit from Lowes with the drill/driver, impact and two batteries. Then I...

I guess that kind of dates this list!

Very funny stuff. Had to read the tweezer part twice I'm ashamed to say, then I laughed out loud!

I need a little help. I have been butchering wood for about 12 years, but have had to take the last two years off because of health concerns and a forced move. All our stuff sat in storage for a...

Ditto

another variation:

=IF(b12=0,"",((B11-B15)*2-B17)/B12)

Conditional statements are possibly the coolest part of excel.

Linux Mint is Ubuntu based, but has a nicer feel IMHO. It also runs beautifully on a 600 mHz laptop.

I have also used Ubuntu, OpenSuse and Zenwalk which runs very well on old hardware. The real...

I too used my opportunity to "stimulate" the economy with a computer purchase. Here are some facts. Vista IS slower, no matter how much ram no matter what processor, Vista will be slower. There...

That's quite a power tool! Looks like it will be quite useful as well as a blast to drive. By definition the ultimate power tool.

Thanks for sharing the story and pics with us.

I was thinking the exact same thing Mike. It is as if he wants to make sure everyone believed him when he tells the story in the future and that was more important than the pain he must have had to...

Nice tribute for what sounds like a great man. I'm sure he was glad to call you a friend.

I will hopefully get to work some more on moving into my new barn.

It seems to me that this sale is pretty good and it is going on right now. I can't imagine a better value than an 8" with spiral cutter delivered for $1069. But that's just me.

Sturdy, strong and beautiful. I bet your wife is pretty happy with those, and you not laughing at her anymore!

Very nice work.

I don't understand it, I keep on sanding and sanding, and it is still too short. You would think I would finally figure it out?

My first project had a printer shelf that I cut too short. No...
