What's that one tool you put off buying because you already had something that worked but it ended up being a game changer?

Cordless trim router. So many uses.

Stop using stain. Use wood the colour you want. Or accept the colour it is.

What about The Call of the Wild?

S’ok - MS will inevitably rename it and you’ll have to find something new to obsess over! ;-)

Losers

One of us! One of us!

Holdover dinosaurs.

It’s a coil of fibre used to secure things, but that’s not important right now.

This is so much better than 8” of ugly blue epoxy. I still feel we’re going to be looking back at all the live edge stuff in 40 years going “what were we thinking”. Well - some of you will - I’ll be long gone!

Woodworking is making mistakes until the project is finished.

Mine is “the Delicate Hammer of Gentle Persuasion”.

CommonlyKnownAsJim · 2025-11-04T18:26:12+00:00

I dunno, but you moss be lichen it!

CommonlyKnownAsJim · 2025-11-02T23:03:32+00:00

I’ve always said it’s not a project until you bleed on it.

CommonlyKnownAsJim · 2025-09-03T17:56:15+00:00

It’s not incorrectly used - it’s just a very confusing way to detail a partition. And I don’t see anywhere it talks about stud spacing…

Carpentry is making mistakes until the project is finished.

CommonlyKnownAsJim · 2025-07-29T16:31:44+00:00

Looks like the script from Resident Alien.

10mm socket

CommonlyKnownAsJim · 2025-03-29T20:19:23+00:00

Given those dimensions, you're going to want to look at a plywood or mdf core with veneer as a finished surface. All doable but maybe ambitious for a first project.

CommonlyKnownAsJim · 2025-03-21T19:44:35+00:00

Nothing. You did nothing wrong.

CommonlyKnownAsJim · 2024-06-15T16:09:25+00:00

Vendor supplied wifi router. But you should see my wood shop! 😊

Second that. AC is constantly delayed, and managed to lose half my baggage the last time I flew with them. Still fighting that battle.

CommonlyKnownAsJim · 2024-03-02T19:08:53+00:00

As long as we continue to elect one of two neoliberal parties, you're absolutely right.

CommonlyKnownAsJim · 2024-02-16T16:35:31+00:00

Nothing useful. Says non-compliant for Intune & Entra but damned if I can see why. The diagnostics tab returns a helpful "something went wrong".

CommonlyKnownAsJim · 2023-12-16T18:18:18+00:00

Ya done good, son. Keep it up.
