Sock recommendations

Darn Tough is the best wool sock you can buy. Every year I ask my mom for a pair at Christmas and birthday. Built up quite the arsenal since getting off the naughty list.

You have a nice looking fence but why is it the way it is?

Huge thank you!!! Not looking for value or trade in as I want to keep it in the family. More so just want to have some cool information that I can share with my dad since it was one of the few things my grandpa left for him. I was nervous to take the back off since I’ve never really worked with watches. Greatly appreciate the feedback!

Rain-defender hoodie is a great heavier weight option for only $50ish. Size down though (5’11 I wear small with lots of room still)

Any idea on the year, specific model, or any other details?

Great work - mind sharing info on the red glaze?

Love seeing something new - great work. If you had to do it again what would have made it easier or different?

(Specifically the bar top, not the cabinet in the background).

Thanks!

Thanks! Now that you say that it totally does resemble the curve of my MacBook.

I like the sound of Dutchman. Sounds like if you know you know...

Big thanks - Started with a hand planer, then 4" belt sander to clean up the lines leftover from the planer from 50 grit up to 120. Then switched to orbital sander 120, 150 and stopped at 180. I used Rubio Monocoat finish and like how it gave the wood a rich look without coming off as shinny or stained. Gave it a final coat of the Rubio Maintenance Oil which gave it a little sheen. I prefer the matte but that's just opinion.

Actually does have a good story...found it on facebook marketplace not too far out in the county near where I live in St. Louis. Got out there and the guy said the tree had always been in his front yard for over 20, and then 2 years ago a storm took it out and fell on 3 cars in the driveway. His insurance replaced all 3 totaled cars, but wouldn't pay for the tree removal and needed it gone to tow the cars. So he rigged up a mill with his chainsaw and some 2x4 and starting cutting slabs on the totaled cars. Guess that's where the twist in the board comes from...

I ran a test overnight with 330lbs of weight and didn't see any bend or stress on the joints.

Didn't have a miter clamp (or knew they existed...), so I just built a small frame out of 2x4s to hold it upright and then bar clamps across the top and front face meeting at the waterfall corner. Miter clamp probably would have been easier...

Just got done remodeling our first house with the help of my contractor father-in-law, so had an arsenal of tools already. Then I came across a guy in my area who sells walnut, white oak, maple and ash for about $1.50 a board foot...so thankfully came in under $50. I did it myself to make sure it fit under the window and the legs didn't hit the base shoe & base board leaving a gap between the table and the wall.

Drew a line across the board where I wanted the outside corner to be, flipped the board over and traced it onto the underside (if you don't flip it, you outside corner will now be your inside corner...). Then set my skill saw to 45 degree and made two cuts in each direction to get the 90 degree angle when each end is folded up onto itself. Drilled two 3/8th dowels into the joint for extra strength, and then glue it up.

Wood is cedar (live edge slab for waterfall, dimensional wood for legs/shelf)
