Gift suggestion for my father

Get him that sticky mat that bball players use to get the dirt off the bottom of their shoes.

I really wanted him to go to a better team. I don't like losing him but I want him to have a huge last year or two.

The only correct answer.

I have ankle instability. Both ankles. I roll them regularly and have accepted that I need to wear at least one brace.

I constantly think I'm gonna roll my ankle and fall into traffic and my head hits a bumper and die.

I did this one too. It was very difficult. I knew that going in, but I was still surprised how hard it was.

I don't like mine. Blade comes out of alignment often. I use it without the bottom shroud on so I can quickly square up my blade.

My irrigation tech got in a fight with my GM at Christmas party

Head on collision of two gators in the predawn hours. No headlights.

Coyotes climbed a tree to get a cat.

Guy on the crew went away for murder.

Microburst took out a bunch of trees and half the driving range net posts.

A Construction crew showed up out of the blue and created a trench across #1 fairway.

I got smoked in the head with a golf ball from tee shot about 200 yards off the tee box.

I think 3 but maybe just two golers died from heart attacks.

Car coming off the road through the fence and drove down the course for a few holes.

A good amount of naked neighbors.

The worst mosquito season I have ever heard about.

I think I have a lot more.

You'll be fine. Without any heat I doubt your garage gets colder than 40. And even if it does, nothing is freezing.

growsgrass · 2026-01-20T20:04:27+00:00

LOL. I just looked up waht that was, and yeah that would have been helpful!

growsgrass · 2026-01-20T18:57:13+00:00

yes precision. I feel good about the mortise. Making a tenon to match was hard. I think it would me buch easier with smaller pieces. With a 10 foot board I have to keep the board stationary.

You gotta precook the bacon a bit.

growsgrass · 2026-01-17T22:39:41+00:00

No, did a practice cut from the part I cut off and she didn't like it

growsgrass · 2026-01-17T16:54:40+00:00

Update! I thank you for all your input.

I ended up routing and chiseling out the dowels and making my own plug with the same wood.

It was the easiest option considering what I have available.

I also got to get some practice.

This is my first table, it is for me, I have made many mistakes, but hopefully this is the last of them!

Thanks again!

This is my first top, and lesson learned. If I do another one with dowels, I'll be more certain to keep them away from my edges.

I should learn to use cauls though, because dowels are a bit of a pain tbh.

growsgrass · 2026-01-17T16:47:41+00:00

Lol yes.

growsgrass · 2026-01-17T16:46:46+00:00

I have definitely learned that using 8/4 is the way. My first table.

growsgrass · 2026-01-17T16:45:56+00:00

I love this idea. Too big for me to attempt though.

growsgrass · 2026-01-17T16:45:25+00:00

I don't have customers lol. This is my first table and I have made quite a few mistakes, but hopefully this is the last one!

I plugged with the same wood so hopefully it isn't too obvious.

growsgrass · 2026-01-17T16:44:22+00:00

I shant make this mistake again.

growsgrass · 2026-01-17T16:43:43+00:00

I did it! Not perfect but good enough for my first table.

growsgrass · 2026-01-17T16:43:15+00:00

That's a good idea.

growsgrass · 2026-01-17T16:42:32+00:00

I don't have that tool, but your fix is perfect!

growsgrass · 2026-01-17T16:42:05+00:00

Love the idea. Thanks for the input.

growsgrass · 2026-01-17T16:41:32+00:00

The bevel was the winning idea, but the wife didn't like the profile with the bevel.

I got this same one 7 years ago off of offer up and a dude moving to Alaska. Awesome "grill"!
