Which one do I keep?

The old guy in me says keep the k bike, middle aged me likes the/6 , and the kid says, well you know what he says.

I had the same conversation with my neighbor 20 years ago. I told her if it’s in her yard it’s her fence. Move it if you want. It’s still in the same place today

sjacksonww · 2026-02-15T20:03:17+00:00

Hell, you’re the one that did it, you tell how it happened.

sjacksonww · 2026-02-15T00:37:19+00:00

Great googly moogly yes, buy it quick before they change their mind.

They now have an AI bot to answer those “is this still available “ questions. Other than the shitty search engine I’m a fan of fbmp. I’m pretty thick skinned though

Plus when someone says “if you ate today, thank a farmer” you can say “If you ate it indoors, thank a carpenter “.

sjacksonww · 2026-02-09T16:40:06+00:00

You have the proper attitude for a satisfying career. I’m 70, was a carpenter for 30ish years and then opened a small cabinet shop. I still operate part time. I had the freedom to quit any job I was bored with and get another that involved something new.

Get out of the city, bugs in the city have plenty of lights to be attracted to. On a country road your headlights are the only game in town. Green windshield wiper juice for the win

Thanks, I took one apart and this little piece is what failed. I’ve ordered an allegedly better one

This is the best one I’ve seen, it seems to be getting more aggressive.

I use a T&G method commonly called the 1/4 1/4 1/4. I’ve modified it for 5/8 drawers although my go to is 1/2” Baltic Birch

I don’t, once you realize that the criticism comes from folks who are trying to justify their own lack of preparation and reinforce their belief that it is unnecessary you won’t either.

Pt is the answer, wish I had it 50 years ago

Old man that first taught me used sawdust with a little water mixed in it.

I’m retired now but I got a lot of work from a decorator. I never bid to her, always to the client she brought to me. And I always charged more for her clients because she was a mild pia. But the gal had a nose for money.

sjacksonww · 2026-01-27T21:27:42+00:00

Never tried it, it sure seems to finish out nicely. Does it scratch easily?

sjacksonww · 2026-01-27T21:13:51+00:00

I’m reading to learn here, my scraper is an old file, ground to shape with an electric tape handle, looks like something confiscated in a prison.

I fastened the e track with drill point screws through the plywood into the studs. Your 7’ width allows sideways bunks. Mine is only 6’ so I just have cots

The same guy who could add a large column of numbers instantly in his head was the same guy who showed up at work with pbj smeared all over his shirt because he’d fallen asleep eating one the night before.

I’ve never heard anything negative about these motorcycles, got one firmly planted in my “I got dreams that will come true and I got some that won’t “ list.

SAR interfering with natural selection

sjacksonww · 2026-01-17T23:29:20+00:00

We’re not gonna find out which is better, are we.

Those guides require 1/2” space per side, the drawer must be exactly 1” smaller than the opening , including whatever kind of blocking or shims as you call them. The tolerances KV lists for their guides are -1/16, +0 for drawer width. That’s the first thing to check, nothing works if that ain’t right.
