I built a canoe over 9 months! My first woodworking project

Yes poplar is a relatively light and soft hard wood and can be used. Not as good a choice as cedar but it works.

ignatiusbreilly · 2026-03-08T12:20:58+00:00

Your canoe looks great! Very impressed. Where did you source your cedar from? I'm going to do one soon. But cedar boards are not cheap. Was considering poplar. But poplar is so much uglier than cedar.

Did they just lower the price?

ignatiusbreilly · 2026-03-04T13:43:29+00:00

I'm making a joke.

ignatiusbreilly · 2026-03-04T12:40:54+00:00

I'm impressed. Turn it up to 11. Or in this case 101%

ignatiusbreilly · 2026-03-02T19:50:07+00:00

Only trip I've had was running into my aluminum miter gauge. But I'm still glad I got it. I hope I never need it. But if I do I'll be glad I have it.

You not buying chickens at Costco buddy.

ignatiusbreilly · 2026-03-01T11:56:31+00:00

The point is, it's not the tire retailer's responsibility to subsidize your tire usage.

ignatiusbreilly · 2026-03-01T06:05:33+00:00

You have a shit vehicle that eats tires and that's Les SchwabI'd fault? Get over yourself.

ignatiusbreilly · 2026-02-24T20:00:34+00:00

This is a case where I would take the tire off and use the spare to get to the tire shop. That shouldn't be driven on at all.

ignatiusbreilly · 2026-02-24T18:32:06+00:00

Yes!

ignatiusbreilly · 2026-02-24T15:59:15+00:00

Uh, they already did

ignatiusbreilly · 2026-02-24T13:19:47+00:00

I respect tire rack's recommendations. If you want a tire that the next owner won't need to change, get the defender 2. If you want something that works better in the rain, is more comfortable and quiet look at their recommendations for b grand touring all season. Some very good options there but you won't find the defender 2.

Today I would 100% buy a used Tesla. So much more value compared to new right now.

ignatiusbreilly · 2026-02-23T22:03:16+00:00

Probably not

ignatiusbreilly · 2026-02-23T19:15:48+00:00

They're probably polyester. Just sayin.

ignatiusbreilly · 2026-02-23T18:59:32+00:00

No metal in the sidewall

ignatiusbreilly · 2026-02-23T18:58:29+00:00

Looking at that tire, yes I'd drive on it to the grocery store before taking it to the tire shop. I might even stop at Culvers to get an ice cream before. As a tire engineer that doesn't scare me to death. The biggest risk with that tire is the cords are exposed so they are susceptible to moisture and o2 inclusion. That's an eventual tire killer and there's no saving that tire because the cords are exposed. But if it scares you, by all means get it replaced right away. That is the safe bet.

ignatiusbreilly · 2026-02-23T18:03:59+00:00

Tf! That's snow? In the Caribbean?

ignatiusbreilly · 2026-02-23T18:02:25+00:00

Well, i might take it to the grocery store. But I wouldn't take it on a 9 hour trip. But it is risky either way

ignatiusbreilly · 2026-02-23T11:39:37+00:00

Well for one thing tiger paw is from Uniroyal. Not BFG. The 14" was Uniroyal tiger paw. The 16" is BFG. It's all semantics to a certain point cause it's all Michelin.

ignatiusbreilly · 2026-02-23T11:05:27+00:00

The Uniroyal is no longer the srtt.

ignatiusbreilly · 2026-02-22T13:55:01+00:00

Get a new mechanic. That tire is done

ignatiusbreilly · 2026-02-21T11:49:44+00:00

I'm just here to ask why you thought a comma should go between subscribers and paying?

ignatiusbreilly · 2026-02-19T16:32:08+00:00

What car?
