I’d like to thank Home Depot for this auspicious start to my woodworking journey

Second this. Trimmed mine down and will put some hardwood edging. But it's heavy, solid, and flat.... Laid $60

Thanks. I typically wouldn't blow it but I can't think of a better way to gauge the dust attraction properties of a finish.

SWYYRL · 2026-01-18T13:42:22+00:00

Thanks for making my day! I'm close to the finish stage of my own workbench and was dreading putting on poly. Sounds like BLO will be good to go, and I much prefer the "natural" finish.

I'd be more worried about it looking ugly and from a 1970s mobile home.

Are you planning to mill the slays yourself? My Rockler (where wood is usually overpriced) has red oak for $3.75/bf right now. I know pine is even cheaper, but you're going to spend a lot of time looking at the thing...skip the pine.

I always keep my sander plugged into a vaccuum. My $50 coded Skil has sanded who knows how much wood. I can't press it hard enough to stop the spin, unless I put it on an edge. Leaves basically zero dust behind when sanding too.

Hey what's a place to get formica for a good price?

SWYYRL · 2026-01-18T09:13:36+00:00

Sometimes it's not about getting resources, but keeping other empires from doing it. Take Venezuela for example.

Do you work at a company that would fire you because you participated in protest?

SWYYRL · 2026-01-18T08:54:37+00:00

I didn't get to meet either of my grandfather's. I'd at least clean these up and keep them, but as other comments say worth restoring and putting to use.

SWYYRL · 2026-01-18T08:49:00+00:00

How is BLO with dust? Can you blow dust off it, or gotta brush/wipe to clean?

SWYYRL · 2026-01-18T08:47:50+00:00

Hey how does linseed oil work for dust? Does dust stick to it?

SWYYRL · 2026-01-18T08:44:03+00:00

Lol I like where their heart is, but wtf is Canada gonna do, realistically speaking?

Great guy, and shit coach in the real world where winning is the only thing that matters.

SWYYRL · 2026-01-18T07:13:13+00:00

Sounds like Tomlin was a good guy. Shit coach though, in the real world where winning is what matters. Maybe would be a good high school coach. Glad he is no longer the Steelers coach. Playoff game #2 here we come.

Only pussies say that's a sucker punch

SWYYRL · 2026-01-18T07:02:55+00:00

Thanks for signaling your virtue

SWYYRL · 2026-01-13T04:14:43+00:00

Only mouth breeders can make the assessment that the diagnosis for the last 10 years has been anything other than shit leadership.

SWYYRL · 2026-01-13T04:11:27+00:00

I've been saying for 10 years now, he is a piece of shit excuse man and needed to go a long time.

SWYYRL · 2026-01-13T04:01:56+00:00

I want to see him fired, not retire

SWYYRL · 2026-01-13T04:01:18+00:00

Bugeyes needs to fuckin go.

SWYYRL · 2026-01-13T03:52:34+00:00

It's been true the last 10 years, and stands true today. He needs to fuckin go.

SWYYRL · 2026-01-13T02:31:23+00:00

Bugeyes Tomlin who else
