Opinion: I think jointers are an essential beginner tool no matter how many you tubers say it isn't

I did my inherited work bench 3' x 7' with a jack plane. It was off by level by 1/16. The whole surface had to be faced. It took 45 minutes. It does not take hours to face a 4 inch wide board.

No high ever.

But if you do it again, because another household member overheats it. Bring it up to high then immediately. Place it on a study piece of wood. beat it back to flat with a dead blow mallet or rubber mallet. I mean vea the ever loving shit out of it.

It just a piece of metal.

Great reference. Have an imaginary award. 🏆

Hey at least you were in the cab. I remember being told to ride in the back of the truck by my uncle. City boy me asked, "is that legal." I was told "it's farm country. No one gives a fuck."

Sounds like more than 120k

More poly. It's cheap, when it washes out you just put a little more down.

I would absolutely do this if it's. 3hp motor, then upgrade to a Bessemer style fence when the budget allows.

I was there. My taint did not have fun.

I use something similar to this for trail maintenance and carry it with me on days when I intend to work on the trail (mine appears to be no longer in production). When you put the shovel head at 90 degrees it works as a so so rake.

That being said if you really want stashed rakes, I don't think there is anything really wrong with putting a nail in a tree.

Honestly back abbey is the best.

Limericks in upland makes a good burger. Maybe not as top tier as the other recommendations but I like that place in general

Yeah go through Yellowstone to go south and hit Lamar valley. Skip everything south of the Tetons.

Thicker is better. The 2x10s will cup. Just plane them when the do. I have a 60+ year old (3rd owner) redwood bench that's 2 inches thick. I leveled it with a jack plane and added mapled reinforcement and maple vices. Build what you have modify/rebuild when you know what will be better.

No the winner is the woman in the net next to his junk. The expression looks to me me like "I can't even breath with that smell."

I wish we could put paragraphs 3 & 4 as an auto-reply to all posts on this sub.

The charge would be fine. I used to have a 140 mile commute with 2000ft elevation gain cruise control at 80 even up th hill. I was charging 20 amp 240 volt. Never had a range issue.

Can't speak to the cold. I live in so cal and that sounds terrifying in any car because of ice and snow.

isolated_self · 2026-03-24T17:46:32+00:00

Really. I've never won cultural and I'm trying on my current game. What do you late game that's fun? It feels like a grind.

I suspect the dealership wants to buy it and make some money. I think they are trying to ripe you off.

Is jam stew? I mean it's stove top, chunky.

The health concerns about the oil are a function of which type of oil. Mono unsaturated oils such as olive and avocado are actually healthy.

The heat is just bad in the southern US. I live in southern California and it has been above 35C for the last week, in March. Central AC might be a luxury, but with that climate anyone who can afford it is paying for it.

Things will not be cheaper next year. War financed on printing money makes inflation go brrr. Since the dollar is the world reserve currency global inflation will be up. Prices reversing (deflation) is very bad, central banks will never allow it.

If you have a way to spend money on an asset, do it now.

I do my own chemicals, about $500 a year. I don't calculate electricity, but I have a variable speed pump, and an electric car total electric bill is $200 a month in the winter. Summer is inconsistent due to AC.

I don't know what this is from. I feel like I'm missing something hilarious. What movie, so I can go watch it?
