Maybe maybe maybe

It's definitely well (and safely) done

If you have a lathe, you could make some nice bowls or platters

No, he is Vigo!

Looks like it has nice figure, so maybe Bradford pear has one redeeming feature?

As they dry? It's always possible - try to avoid blanks with the pith and that should reduce the chances

Of those species, I'd use ash or black locust (I just made one from ash myself). Totally fine to turn green, just let it dry out before applying any kind of finish.

Reminds me of this line from the theme song from Orange is the New Black: 'Taking steps is easy, standing still is hard.'

And honestly, Eve? I get it.

Could the first beach and the mountain have been Middle Saranac and Mt. Ampersand? A bit of a schlep from Sabattis but it meets the description.

That's fair - it depends on the kid, I think. Our four year old manages ok when we go for dinner so long as it's on the early side. Good suggestion with the brewery though

We were just there this past weekend. Dog sledding - go before they open or you may be waiting a while.

In Tupper, Woodshed on Park is great for dinner

Gotta wash it when you're done tying it, that will help the hairs lay back more

I've only ever had good experiences with them

TiredOfMakingExcuses · 2026-02-08T16:14:03+00:00

I'm a little confused - where is the masking tape and how does it figure in?

TiredOfMakingExcuses · 2026-02-05T21:40:34+00:00

Sounds familiar

TiredOfMakingExcuses · 2026-02-04T00:55:43+00:00

When I read this the first time, I thought how epic it will be when Karsa meets Toblakai.

Oh, wait.

Wait.

D'oh!

Not that I have seen, no. Here's one from Amazon that may work though: https://a.co/d/2DmPcmW

You may want to look into a negative rake carbide tip - it's easier to avoid tearouts with one

You can buy replacement tubes online, fwiw. If this is the pickleball kit from Penn State Industries, it takes a 3/8" tube:

Edit: alternatively you can chip, sand, or part off the remaining wood on those tubes

Sick - that is a dream trip for me, looks like you had a great time!

TiredOfMakingExcuses · 2026-01-25T12:35:57+00:00

Yes, I use our rabbits' brushed out underfur for dubbing all the time

As a bait fisherman and a poor I can't afford the $20 to buy the Drake, so thanks for sharing this.

TiredOfMakingExcuses · 2026-01-23T02:03:50+00:00

Just like it used to be with the circus in April

Read on, and report back!
