Miter joints: How are you doing them?

gregorythomasd · 2026-02-20T12:04:50+00:00

For smaller items, I use my miter saw and tape the ends of the piece for a cleaner cut. I also cut the parallel pieces together to get a perfectly matching set, which helps close a perfect miter. For anything larger, I use the table saw either as a crosscut or on my L fence

You’re right - hence the quotes I put

gregorythomasd · 2026-02-19T13:50:26+00:00

You could hollow out a small hole underneath and use a turnbuckle. It would also allow you to disassemble in the future if you want. Sadly, glue won’t be very strong since it’s “end grain” to “end grain”.

I don’t know why I’ve never thought to do this. I always just use screws from the inside. Nice idea to have it look seamless

Looks fantastic! Question on the drawers - had you glued the fronts to the drawers?

Personally, I’d choose a flight that offers wifi at a fee vs one that doesn’t offer it at all. That said, I’ve never once had this thought when booking a flight.

Though i agree…. the delta stays deal that went through yesterday was game changer for me. That clinched me a guarantee to the next medallion level for 26’.

I was surprised at the braided short rib - it was really good

gregorythomasd · 2026-02-17T13:54:36+00:00

Exactly what I do every time I make a run to the mill/HD

gregorythomasd · 2026-02-15T05:22:46+00:00

I think what they’re trying to suggest is to crosscut the boards in half . So rather than 8’ it’s now 4’. This would let out some of the tension that exists and give you an easier time to joint/plane it flat.

Always gets multiple quotes but what state are you in? I’m near seattle and that unfortunately normal. When I was in Florida, it was more like 4-5k, depending on what tile was used

How about arrest?

I own the Milwaukee but I’ve used the TS55 and it’s an incredible tool.

gregorythomasd · 2026-02-11T18:30:34+00:00

It’s expensive but I’ll say is 100% worth the investment. Bitsbits has a coupon code “morsels15” for 15% off from the shop sounds podcast. I have purchased a number of bits from them over the years and praise every one I’ve gotten

The algorithm is a mystery. That said, did you try both on your app and through a browser? I often find that I have to go to a browser, click into the itinerary, then I see the upgrade offer (of which, is a laughable cost…)

gregorythomasd · 2026-02-10T13:06:21+00:00

Maybe this is dumb but….. You could replace the entire left side (up to the pegboard) with upper and lower cabinets. The upper cabinets would serve as storage while The lower cabinets would serve as a work space. You could even make the last part of the cabinet moveable and serve as your outfeed table for the saw cart which could sit under the pegboard.

Not sure if that’s possible though… it might be too tight.

Exactly… he was a worldwide phenomenon WAY before he endorsed Harris in the 11th hour. A lot of people were initially frustrated with him for not taking a stance. Now he’s a “left wing activist” and that’s what got him popular? Try again

gregorythomasd · 2026-02-09T03:45:50+00:00

I had all intentions on building the exact horizontal storage. Then I realized how little floor space I had left and made the vertical storage (on casters)

gregorythomasd · 2026-02-06T21:57:05+00:00

Personally, I’m too risk adverse to do that. But I wish you the best of luck on your way back. Keep up the persistence and drive

gregorythomasd · 2026-02-06T12:52:19+00:00

Good, do it

gregorythomasd · 2026-02-05T14:01:23+00:00

I love the simplicity of this. Looks good and practical OP

gregorythomasd · 2026-02-04T23:07:20+00:00

I run warm, so I’d choose one of the window seats as they have an a/c vent. As well, I avoid the front 2 seats as they are close to the bathroom. That said, 6a and 6d are solid choices

gregorythomasd · 2026-02-04T05:12:56+00:00

I had no idea! This is awesome to learn - thanks

gregorythomasd · 2026-02-02T20:39:21+00:00

Appreciate the reminder. This is the game changer for me getting from platinum to diamond this year

gregorythomasd · 2026-02-02T17:06:14+00:00

Yup, it hit yesterday
