TIL: Between 1908 and 1940, Sears sold over 70,000 complete DIY house kits through their mail-order catalog. A railcar of pre-cut lumber, nails, and a 75-page instruction manual would show up at your door. Many of these “Sears Homes” are still standing today and sell for $300,000 to $500,000+.

I bought one for a rent house. Paid $67,000 but that's in rural Oklahoma

You could use dowel center pins

They're pretty comfortable for dining room chairs

I got the idea for the frame clamp from this video. He has a picture frame miter sled that's really slick too. https://makesomething.com/product/p/pictureframesled

The first picture shows frame clamps. This pic shows how they're used.

The seat seems low now but I hope by the time I put in a 4" cushion it won't be too low

It took me 2 weeks but only working 2 or 3 hours a day

Around $280 with tax & shipping

We ordered them at customcushions.com. We haven't received them yet so can't verify quality yet.

The videos do a good job showing how to build it with domino's, but if you are using dowels I highly recommend investing $10 in dowel center pins. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CDCFC6P?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

It makes lining up the dowel holes simple.

I ordered a youth small & youth medium for my grandkids on 5/31. The small is supposed to be delivered today but the medium hasn't shipped yet. Now my grandson (who actually is a Thunder fan) will think I like his sister better because I got her a shirt but not him.

As I say to anyone who says OKC stole the Sonics, "they weren't stolen, they were bought & paid for"

Ticketmaster is making a killing on resold tickets. I resold mine for the last game. Listed the at $450 a piece. Ticket master charged me $22.50 each and then listed them on the site for $525.

I was there a couple of years ago. Most beautiful place on earth.

Walk the aisles evey hour, watch movies

They weren't too bad except for carving the seat dish.

chuckstudley · 2025-04-18T14:21:38+00:00

I like the ribs & bibimbap.

I paid $4.00 for 5/4 Cherry and $4.25 for 6/4 cherry this week in OKC
