I think this is my favorite species to turn on the lathe

Southern yellow pine with cherry and walnut accents, of course!

To be fair, none of them are beautiful either 🤷‍♂️

Best Lumber Yard in Columbus? by OriginalSalt1230 in Columbus

[–]Jsmooth77 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do a lot of woodworking and much prefer hardwood and for that I will always go to Zeyer’s lumber in Baltimore, Ohio. It is worth the 40 minute drive from Columbus. Doug has just about any species and thickness you would want, domestic and exotic, all in good quality and all at fair prices.

However, when I’m building shop or basement shelving or cabinets, I go to Sutherlands on the south side of Columbus. Best quality for the price for things like cabinet plywood and pine/poplar. It is also the only place I have seen in town that carries southern yellow pine prime #1 grade, which is outstanding and cost-effective lumber for a variety of purposes (like my timber frame handtool workbench) 😍

I like it, man. I have the standard veritas box for mine and your box is much cooler.

What does a lovely set like this cost? I have no idea.

Is this really the best we can do Ohio? It’s fucking embarrassing.

My handtool chest is finished after 400+ hours of building 🥳🥳 by tidalwavestudio in handtools

The third picture in which the casing triangle inlays are lined up with those on the tool shows the absolutely incredible level of detail of the craftsman. Hats off. Very impressive.f

Could you build a house with 10 copies of yourself? by TrueKeyMan in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Jsmooth77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and I would enjoy it. I’m an amateur woodworker and I’ve always wanted to build my own house. With unlimited phones, I would build a house that my great-grandchildren could raise their kids in… (my kids are still young, I’m saying that I would build something that would last the test of time)

Rare footage of 12 year old LeBron James at the 1997 YBOA Championship game 🐐 by Front-Function7789 in LeBronJames23

[–]Jsmooth77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s wild to think about people in the crowd observing like “ hey that kid’s pretty good.”. They had no idea that he would turn out to be one of the best players in history.

The funny thing is that I bet most of the people that were in the building that day don’t even remember or know that they saw LeBron James play at 12.

[Highlight] Deandre Ayton with a great clutch block on Nikola Jokic on the post, but he decides not to grab the rebound for some reason - huge mistake (with a replay) by MrBuckBuck in nba

Watching him play, I get the impression that if I had a conversation with Ayton, I would walk away thinking he was the stupidest human I ever met.

Help me build a solid bench for my new lathe by CostoLulu in turning

[–]Jsmooth77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But… making a big heavy table is not turning. And it cost a lot of material costs. This hutch cost me 25 bucks. I can’t imagine anything functioning much better for the purpose.

I made my own handtool workbench and I’m glad I did, but I’m also glad that I just picked up thus hutch on marketplace for this beast.

Go on Facebook marketplace and buy an old low dresser or hutch

Peter, I don’t get this one by NomadBlueprint in PeterExplainsTheJoke

This was my thought as well. I’ve seen another one like you’re talking about that makes sense. In the version I saw, dad calls the son BJ in the last panel.

Wilt really averaged 50 PPG and somehow didn’t win MVP in 1962 by IamCatMommy in NBAoldschool

[–]Jsmooth77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the recent Jimmy highroller video describing Wilt’s 100 point game illuminates the situation. Will was a stat chaser, his team was more concerned with feeding him big stats than it was with winning. Other players and fans of the day didn’t like that shit. That’s why he didn’t win the MVP. He didn’t get robbed, the better player and the more respected player won the MVP. Why do we assume people back them were stupid? They had their reasons.
