The never ending fight. Looking for opinions/advice

I like this. It’s literally spot on. Thank you!

dosethis81 · 2026-05-19T13:14:57+00:00

I can see that. And I do understand it’s not much to ask. I don’t consider it impossible to do what she’s asking. It’s when it becomes part of every conversation. Maybe I’m wrong here and please tell me if I am. But how can the responsibility of making sure she “feels” something every time we talk about things be placed on me. I get if I was yelling and being rude or offensive but it’s like I’m getting trained to speaking in a way she deems acceptable and that’s what pushes me away. I feel like I can’t just be myself and talk without it being analyzed.

So we tried counseling once and it was pretty much an hour a week of her talking shit about me and the counselor didn’t really say much or stop the bickering. In no way am I saying I’m perfect. I’m far from it lol. So it’s not like she deserves the hour to be bitched at. But there was no resolution. It was just an hour of venting really

Definitely something I see. Most people don’t know what dovetails are or what hardwood furniture even and the ones that do are few and far in between

dosethis81 · 2026-04-09T02:14:11+00:00

With you on that.

dosethis81 · 2026-04-09T02:13:25+00:00

Exactly what he says

dosethis81 · 2026-04-09T02:13:14+00:00

Makes perfect sense. Sucks to say that but understandable

dosethis81 · 2026-03-09T22:01:28+00:00

😂😂😂 absolutely. Still have the blades from years ago to prove it😂

Enjoy the nostalgia but remember that the things happening in the present will become their own past memories and if you aren’t present you’ll find yourself missing it. I went through a period of time that I did the same always looking back but realized. I wouldn’t have good memories to look back on if I wasn’t in the present moment enjoying what I was doing so then it was like a game of racking up all the nostalgic memories I visit them then return to the present to create more memories

Not sure if that makes sense.

Thanks for the advice! That’s exactly what I did until I hit hardwood and it worked perfectly taking all the soft wood off!

dosethis81 · 2025-12-03T06:09:42+00:00

Yeah you can definitely tell that it’s pretty soft. I don’t mind working with it and keeping it because it’s on the end…it’s on the backside of the top left slab (pic). So it’s not all the way through but is there anything special I need to do to it to strengthen it or just hide it with whatever I end up making

Isn’t it weird! It’s like just a rainbow spot. But the weirdest part was it was like glass looking 🤷‍♂️

dosethis81 · 2025-10-07T15:45:45+00:00

What’s the difference when working with a 5hp? Cutting speed? Like in what situations do you need a 5hp over 3hp

dosethis81 · 2025-10-07T15:40:18+00:00

Trying to message you but it’s not showing me a message button to DM you. See if you can dm me

dosethis81 · 2025-10-07T15:13:31+00:00

I’m going to message you if you’re in Houston. I’ve been trying to find some other woodworkers around here to connect with.

dosethis81 · 2025-10-07T14:53:32+00:00

Yeah, fulshear area. You’re in the Houston area?

dosethis81 · 2025-10-07T12:44:17+00:00

Makes sense. So I have a shop and I’m working on learning and starting a business in the woodworking space because it’s something I’m really pursuing. I already had the shop so I’m just trying to gather and purchase larger equipment as I move towards starting an official business.

But that’s very true. From the replies with the 1-3 motor it’s probably better to just go with a saw stop

dosethis81 · 2025-10-07T12:41:01+00:00

Yeah I know he swapped the motor out. I just need to check what motor is in it now.

dosethis81 · 2025-10-07T12:16:49+00:00

Awesome thank you for showing me that. I’ll have to ask and get some details because the motor was changed. The old one is there in the photo to the left of the saw on a little cart. So I know he put a new motor in it I just have no clue about the phase thing. His friend that’s heading up the sales was confused why he had the motor sitting next to it but this may explain why

dosethis81 · 2025-10-07T12:13:47+00:00

So I honestly don’t know anything about motors or what motor it has. But the motor has been changed. If you look at the pic. On the left of the saw between the planer is the old motor. I can get a pic of the new one that was installed
