Half the fun of projects is digging through a bunch of tools for the right one, right? :-/

Basically, take the amount of money you think your favorite author gets, halve it, and then halve it again, and you have a number that's probably a lot closer to their actual earnings from writing.

"But I don't think they make that much!"

Halve that. Halve it again.

I have a lot of my tools somewhat organized in a normal toolbox with Extremely Useful Labels but most of the ones my dad gave me are in five gallon buckets :-/

I’ve actually gotten good at ripping with a circular saw but its so much easier with a table saw.

If i do i’ll let you know! This project is building a wall-mounted tool case so i can get an actual inventory of what i have before downsizing.

Table saws are much fun!

I’d be better off donating 50% of the duplicate hand tools i have in this garage but what if i someday need a screwdriver with a busted tip?

Have and can use but its not set up at the moment :-/

Current project is the next step in getting it ready for use.

No, the squirrels always get them before they’re ripe, but they do always set a buttload of fruit.

That it does! But there’s also a bunch of dust so its pretty sneezy work.

One of my dad’s friends introduced himself to me as a Doctor of Woodology, i wonder if he read that book 😂😂😂

If there was slightly more room in my garage so i didn’t have to carry most of the wood halfway across my backyard it would be much more fun :-/

Working on several projects that i want to make out of oak, so there’s a certain logic logic at play.

All hamburgers could be rectangular but most restaurants are cowards.
