Very weird, this guy seems to have moved into our garage. Just saw it again!

I saw my first Praying Mantis yesterday.

At my wife's church people honk at each each other trying to get out of the parking lot. Brotherly love lasts about one minute after leaving the building.

I've also wondered about Ixonia's unique name! Thanks for the owl and knowledge 👍

I like the hamster & wine bottle decor

Give CopyQ a try. Open source, cross platform clipboard manager with tons of features.

One example option is being able to only ever paste plain text. It also has lots of programming hooks, I have a few for doing things like converting a line-feed delimited list into one delimited by commas and quoting the values.

What do think is the book's message?

We have the Brother HL-L3230CDW and are happy with it. Works fine with inexpensive toner cartridges from Amazon.

What was your project?

Same, also my favorite.

Yep FB is the way to go for local sales. I'm in a large metro area and exclusively use it.

He still does Red Meat?? That was my favorite part of the reading the (paper issues of) Onion way back in the day.

 

I finally got a #7 and needed a place to keep it. My #5-1/2 fit into a drawer so I never needed large plane till until now.

Often these kind of tool cabinets are elaborate masterpieces made from treasured hardwood felled by one's grandfather; not this one, it's made from scrap plywood and gets the job done. I have two little ones that don't leave me much shop time right now.

The box is about 25" wide, 15" wide, and 10" deep. Piano hinge for the door with a rare earth magnet catch.

Drawer box dado corners with everything else being screwed on for future adjustability.

The till is simply leaned up against the back wall and screwed in place.

Child's Toy Train Set (midwest.social)

Made this child's train set for my two year old. It's all scrap cherry. The wheels are 1.25" in diameter while the bases are 1.5" wide.

The wheels are nailed into pre-drilled holes.

The hitches are sort of a half lap joint with the top half holding a dowel.

I use little squeeze bottles for mineral spirits, denatured alcohol, etc. Refilling them has always been a messy and tricky operation while trying to hold the bottle, funnel, and canister all at the same time.

This little bottle holder has made that task much eaisier!! Having it clamp into the vise eliminates any possibility of the bottle tipping over.
