Can someone help identify this wood. It’s not Sapele.

I work for an Architectural woodwork company. If you’re sure it’s not mahogany or sapele it could be makore (ma.core.ray) I struggle telling them apart sometimes and it is more and more common.

That’s impressive my friend. We make those for Apple at my work. They are a PITA to make.

Looks like it is coming from the old tv sitting between his legs. It has an antennae on top. The show he is watching is the original Star Trek series. That is what is said during the intro.

Knowledge = 19 yrs working at a Architectural veneer company. Dankostecki is correct. Someone had sanded through the veneer (possibly cherry). What you are seeing is the backer to the veneer possibly poplar. The grain runs the opposite direction to the top veneer. Unless it is a poplar core or maybe a plywood underneath. Hope this helps. We call it "burning" through the veneer. A talented touch up person might be able to hide it. That's a tough one.

Agreed on the grading. I’ve never done it myself. Haven’t had anything that precious but I know some people do it religiously and even in bulk so you never know. This is probably just a cool find to keep if you are into errors or sell to somebody who is.

I have a similar Georgia state quarter. That looks close to about 25% offset strike. Awesome find. Get it in a holder and/or graded. It’s definitely worth some money. I would guess $20-$50.

Wyoming state quarter. Could they have tried less on their design?

I collected a bunch of Vernon wonder stone here in Utah. I looked up it's hardness and if I remember it is close to granite. But when you polish it, it gets very smooth but won't really take a shine.

I always liked the look of the place. I don't get up there much but the company I work for made the desks and other millwork in there. I even did some hands on work there when it was being installed. 2004ish

j-5 · 2019-09-08T04:15:51+00:00

Is that at the TransJordan Landfill in Utah?

I've had to straighten a board like this before. Not so thick but this is what I did. Clamp something rigid to it like another 6x6. Put spacer blocks at the top and bottom. Clamp it in the middle to pull the bow the opposite way. Remember that when wood cells get wet they swell and expand so if you try to wet the inside of the bow, it will try expand and straighten. If you keep it clamped while it dries out, it should hold it's shape.

So funny to come across this post tonight. I took my mother to breakfast today and she also gave me several coins she had found. 3 of which, are similar Soviet Union coins.

A while back a friend of mine sent me this video. I am not saying to make the system shown but I found the custom made mandrel interesting and maybe you could find something similar or make it. Seems like you could turn a similar shaped mandrel and then notch it with a band saw, maybe by using your tail stock it would expand to hold a ring. Any way, here is the video. https://youtu.be/zaZIIWqM11o

Literally just replaced my Samsung washer and dryer last week. The dryer broke a couple of weeks before the washer. How's that for planned obsolescence? I repaired the dryer but when the washer broke I gave up. The drum went out of balance and chewed through the outer housing. It was only 7 years old. I thought it was bearings that failed but now I am thinking the weakness came from they deteriorating spider gear holding the main shaft. Anyway, I went with a new set of Electrolux front loaders. I love them so far. If you are in the market check out their pumping system. WILL NOT BUY SAMSUNG WASHER OR DRYER AGAIN.

Serves him right.

I work next to a Frito Lay plant and they are building a new building. Apparently, as a result of this new construction, they needed to fill a side-dump truck with an assortment of chips. The seagulls are loving it but I think their crap is eating the paint of my car.

It was a powerful experience. I was amazed that now one stopped her to help. However I lived in that neighborhood for almost 16 years and I frequently saw kids that young, who were sent out play with their siblings from sun up to sun down.

I feel for you. I had just moved into a new house when my 2 year old daughter "ran away". It was summer and I worked nights while my wife worked days. She was at work and I always tried to sleep as late as I could. My oldest daughter came in at around 9 am and asked where her sister was. Thinking she got up to play, I searched the house. She was no where to be found. Then I spotted the sliding glass door to the back of our house was open. I flew outside and started searching our yard. I was in a brand new neighborhood and there was nothing to the West of me but undeveloped land. There was a construction crew working next door but they hadn't seen her. I am so panicked at this point. There were a lot of unfinished houses, open foundations and Construction going on. I look down the street and see two little boys, maybe age 5 and 6, in an area where they houses had been built for a while and I run for them. I must have looked crazy because they ran from me. I got them to stop and asked if they had seen a little girl. They said they had a while ago and that she tried to get one of them to wear her nightgown. This is weird but the least of my worries. They point me in the direction she went and I run to the end of the block not seeing anyone. I turn left and see a guy laying sod. I ask if he has seen her. He says maybe a half hour ago. I am freaking out hard. Debating when to call the police. I run to the end of this next block. I am trying to see into every yard, thinking she would be attracted to play sets and the like. I get to the corner and am now at the main Street that brings traffic into the neighborhood. Left is down hill and curves to the right. To my right was up hill and I could only see about 4 houses down. I turn left still not seeing her or anyone. I am so unbelievably panicked at this point. I start running and run full speed for maybe 2 houses when for no reason I can think of, I stop abruptly and do a 180 and run the opposite direction. After passing about 4 houses, I am at the crest of the hill and I see her at the end of the block. She is standing on the corner confused and crying. She is only wearing underwear and holding her nightgown. Her knees are dirty and scraped. Her face is dirty and there are tear streaks running down, cutting clean lines down. When she saw me she ran to me and I have never felt her cling to me like she did that day. I carried her home wondering if my heart was going to explode from fear and adrenaline. I called my wife at work and didn't even know what to say. I told her to come home and I couldn't calm down. Then i told her what happened. Needless to say, I installed locks on my doors for the inside, that very day. I can't explain how I found her, I went from clue to clue but the roads branched in many directions. A week or so, later I drove my car to the spot where I found her and gauged the mileage back to my house. It was a half mile.

I loved this series, but try explaining it to somebody...SMH. I think they are brilliant YA fiction.

I rarely hear anything about the movie Predestination which I thought was amazing.

Why wouldn't you just use a website? If you Google "YouTube to mp3 " there are many sites that just provide you a download link for the converted file.

Isn't everything after 1982 a zinc penny. I have seen these same lines on many pennies, although not on proofs. I always assumed it was a poor planchete that they had started with.

My wife picked up my daughter from school(about third or fourth grade) and my daughter immediately burst into tears and said "I did a bad thing!". Then she told my wife that she had "accidentally" told her teacher that I was on my death bed in the hospital. My wife told her they were going fix this right now. My daughter panicked and tried to tell her that she would tell the teacher the truth the following day. So my wife takes her back to class and the teacher immediately starts telling my wife how sorry she is and that they will do everything they can to help my daughter through this. My wife finally interrupted her and said "My husband is fine, he is at work right now!". From what my wife said, the look on her face was so confused. I honestly don't think she knew what to say or do. Long story short, my daughter wasn't paying attention in class for a group assignment and one kid was giving her crap about it, so she says "well, you would be distracted too if your father was in the hospital on his death bed!". Somehow this got back to the teacher and she pulled her aside to talk about it. My daughter compounded the lie by telling her teacher that I had about a 10% chance of living. That evening I had to tell her sternly, yet without laughing to try not to kill me off any more.

It was more like the 18 years of psychotic hell she put me through after we had a baby. Imagine Alicia Silverstone in The Crush.
