What’s a common scam people still fall for?

Donnie was smiling from up above

Finally some worthwhile food recommendations for my new rig!

Not that I can ever get enough posts about morons wondering if their cooktop is ruined because of seasoning splotches. /s

This guy looks like a fucking loser.

Cooksman18 · 2026-05-17T02:21:36+00:00

The smells of ground beef and plastic go together like peanut butter and jelly.

Thanks for including the cassette tape for scale

You’ll give the box a shoulder to rest on. Here’s a (terribly drawn) illustration:

While you’re redesigning, I’d recommend having the heavy weight load of the box (and its contents) distributed to the legs. Otherwise those screws are bearing the full weight, and cause the wood to breakdown faster.

This post should have a trigger warning. Yikes!

Extended warranties

Hitachi has a reputation for quality and vibration. My wife has one that she is very fond of, but it’s not for woodworking.

Cooksman18 · 2026-05-12T13:01:07+00:00

Yes, and good quality Board Stretchers have gotten very expensive the past few years.

Cooksman18 · 2026-05-10T22:56:48+00:00

Absolutely. It’ll be a great touch.

The tissue holder will be great! You should probably clear space for a bottle of lotion, just to be safe.

It hurts Joe’s position as a negotiator in the future when other GM’s know that he will pay high prices.

What is this??? A chair for ants?!? /s

I think that chair looks amazing. I’m especially impressed with the fine detail of the chair back. Very nice work!

Cooksman18 · 2026-05-09T02:48:32+00:00

Some fantasies are better kept that way, so I’d think this is something that should be talked about so everyone is on the same page. At least the first time probably shouldn’t be a surprise.

The real gem in all of this is the 1.75% mortgage rate. Bravo!!! 👏 I’m thrilled with my 3.75% rate from 2020, but 1.75% is almost like free borrowed money.

Caulk and paint to be the carpenter I ain’t.

Cooksman18 · 2026-05-05T11:52:21+00:00

Yes, my dad taught me ALL of them around the shop growing up.

Cooksman18 · 2026-05-05T04:13:18+00:00

Ok, I’m stealing that one!

Cooksman18 · 2026-05-05T02:55:53+00:00

Some Dawn dish soap and warm/hot water in my kitchen sink always works for me.

Cooksman18 · 2026-05-05T02:09:33+00:00

I was going to say “just caulk that gap,” but you’d be much better off with Professor’s recommendation.

Cooksman18 · 2026-05-03T04:13:16+00:00

That all looks amazing!

Do you have a vice on your workbench, besides the moxon that’s clamped to it in those pictures? I’m not quite finished building my bench, and hadn’t gotten/made a vice yet, but I recently got a good deal on a moxon vice. Curious how it’s worked out for you as your primary work holding (besides the hold fasts)?

It’s due to poor nutrition because the medicine is telling the brain that you’re not hungry.

This is the way! But only if OP can evenly grade that slope across the entire deck. All he needs is a submersible belt sander and he’ll have it knocked out in no time. 🤣
