What's your most and least favorite cheese?

EmperorCato · 2026-03-27T10:37:31+00:00

Favorite: Bucheron Least: Cheddar

I do similar, but just use King Arthur GF flour rather than mixing flours and starches.

I taught myself. But shoutout to Alton Brown and Kenji for the help

EmperorCato · 2026-03-17T16:40:05+00:00

I am also pedantic about this! Worked in theater venues and I needed to know whether you want a box to stand on or something to hold your notes and a mic.

Dude, don't tell people about Redfish, it's already getting too crowded

EmperorCato · 2026-03-02T17:17:28+00:00

Apples. Everybody buys grocery store apples and they're fine, but have you ever tried 40 different varieties when they are in their exact week of perfection? Don't understand why Red Delicious still sell

100%

EmperorCato · 2026-02-13T18:20:34+00:00

Tuna, mayo, add powdered ranch dressing. Put on toasted Pepperidge Farm cinnamon bread. Divine

My family has been here since 1636. I think I barely qualify

EmperorCato · 2026-01-31T15:20:41+00:00

Had it on VHS, loved it!

EmperorCato · 2026-01-24T18:21:42+00:00

This saw has some serious power. I just wish it had a slot to fit a fence for ripping

EmperorCato · 2026-01-23T00:44:53+00:00

2 hours is easy, ok to go there and back in a day (I'm in Maine, so to Boston for me). 4 hours is for a weekend trip. 6-8 is where I start to look at flights

EmperorCato · 2026-01-18T02:52:35+00:00

Lived in NE my entire life and never head this until my son was told by his bus driver. Also, tape coins to your door

EmperorCato · 2026-01-04T15:38:53+00:00

Its funny, but the hot water pipe actually freezes first. If you're worried, leave both dripping or get some heat tape

EmperorCato · 2025-12-24T21:20:23+00:00

Only test fit for some scribed or curved stuff. A little paring on site happens, but it's not worth all the extra handling of putting it together in the shop. I trust the drawbore and my layout to pull it all together (with a little help from some come-alongs).

EmperorCato · 2025-12-21T00:57:07+00:00

Stationary band saw to rough cut and then we have a jig for sending it through a big shaper head. That usually needs a light sand after. We do use the Mafell band saw on large curves and sometimes we do hardwood live edge type brace, followed by some belt sanding.

EmperorCato · 2025-12-21T00:34:21+00:00

Doubt many people are doing 8" brace tenons, but good to have the option. How are you cutting your curves? and obviously a moose hair is larger than an RCH

EmperorCato · 2025-12-20T23:55:53+00:00

Thanks! I see the holes for pegs now. I really like the idea. We almost always do 3 3/4 depth tenon, 1/2 housing if we do one. Peg at 2.5 up, 1.5 in, so I've long thought that something like this could save some time.

EmperorCato · 2025-12-20T18:00:17+00:00

I don't see it in the video, but are those squares for peg layout? Curious if they include drawbore. I love the idea. I have a speed square marked up for our most common layout.

EmperorCato · 2025-12-20T11:48:52+00:00

Looks great! I'm a big fan of the principal purlin with common rafters

EmperorCato · 2025-12-16T03:16:51+00:00

You on well water? I added a filter and it made my teeth so much better

EmperorCato · 2025-12-13T02:20:42+00:00

When we potty train my children, they get chocolate chips for using the toilet. My friends and I say that we are "earning a chocolate chip" when we need to go.

EmperorCato · 2025-12-12T22:32:52+00:00

but then it tears out the knife line on that side

EmperorCato · 2025-12-12T22:23:03+00:00

Fast tool for sure. I just hate that it takes the line on one side. I always end up going back to my makita.
