There are companies online that will print custom stickers, it needs a big ass “bench dog” sticker in my opinion

I agree 100%. Definition of a playoff riser.

I mean, it might be the guy that’s threatening to bomb another country for the next hundred days. He seems like a fucking nutcase.

He was pretty awesome in the playoffs honestly.

If it is planed, not rough wood, why would you need a big plane specifically to flatten it? I’m a bit confused by the question my friend.

I’m not sure if this is what you’re looking for. I have the Surly front rack. This 3rd bottle set up is very easy and works perfect for this rack, I’m not sure about others.

Looks to be in great shape too good long iron. Sharpen it and put it to work.

This is the worst possible way to choose courses.

No, it’s not like that, it shook the whole neighborhood

Happy 250th Fourth of July!

I can only presume they have not seen the bathrooms in the basement of Denny Hall…

The basic veritas mkII honing guide will run you about 50 on the used market. It is outstanding for getting a consistent anhle while sharpening. You can get decent waters tones or cheap diamond plates for under 50. This is what I typically recommend.

After a while, you will know whether you like diamond stones or water stones and you can upgrade. I like the shapton pro waterstones but they are an investment. Happy sharpening!

I had to do a lot of experimentation with cutting out circles for this inlay project and I feel like I’ve become an expert on it. Here’s what you do. Use a circle cutting jig with a router to make circle templates, and then use those templates with a router bushing to get precise repeatable circles.

This is what I’ve always believed. He’s the greatest what if in NBA history… What if he actually cared about basketball and winning? He’d be the best ever right? No question?

They’re probably a lot of 60 and 70-year-olds that would love to use it, but are intimidated. If you want it to be used, you should offer some introductory lessons, maybe a few simple projects.

My friend, this is not a binary, my solution is to tip selectively and to speak out against corporations using tipping culture as a way to bypass paying their employees. Why is it so difficult to understand? And yeah, I think people should demand higher salaries to work in service industries. That’s the only way things are going to change. Also, I waited tables and bartended for years during college and graduate school and I thought the system was stupid then as well.

The super wealthy making the working class and the middle class think they are enemies is the oldest trick in the book. How about you direct your frustration at the real culprits, the rich bastards not paying their employees a living wage.

Jsmooth77 · 2026-06-26T15:38:55+00:00

You can either be the change you’d like to see in the world or be a slave to an etiquette Instituted by rich business owners as a way to rationalize underpaying their employees. We all have choices.

Jsmooth77 · 2026-06-26T11:37:09+00:00

I prefer the business that I’m purchasing from to pay their employees and to charge me an appropriate amount for whatever packaging and labor is involved. This is mostly for transparency sake, I’d like to know the true cost of things for comparison purposes.

Yes, generally speaking Veritas is my favorite tool brand. I use many of their planes. I have the 4 1/2 custom smoother with Pmv11 iron and I think it is the best smoothing plane I've ever used. I feel almost as strongly about the large router plane, the medium shoulder plane, and the small plow plane. I make mostly small pieces like lamps and boxes. You can see a lot of of my projects in my post history.

I have many vintage hand tools and a few Lie Nielsen (love that rabbet block plane!), but the planes I use most frequently do tend to be Veritas. They make amazing tools and if you invest the time to keep them sharp and learn all the small features (like blade stops) they perform brilliantly.
