  1. I’m getting started on a project I’ve been mulling over for a few years. I want to make a travel bar in a briefcase. Somewhat inspired by antique pistol cases where you’d have a box for your pistol and all of the implements and tools, I want to have a case where I have everything I need to make an old fashioned and a Manhattan as well as play music. I finally came across a briefcase with the right feel to it. A little more beat up than I’d prefer but the style and the price were right. The briefcase: Plan for the layout of the case: And the current status, measuring things to Make sure it’ll all fit. The fabric in this picture is some chocolate brown pig suede that I’m going to reline the inside with.
  2. I thought it sounded familiar, looking at his channel I’ve seen a few of his videos. I know some of those. Never heard of Hess, I’ll check it out.
  3. I’ll have to give that a try. Who do you like watching on YouTube?
  4. I have an old dewalt 733 that I kind of hate but it gets the job done and it was free. The raising/lowering mechanism is gummed up and it takes an absurd amount of effort. It also has way more snipe than I would like to deal with, both in depth and length up the board. If I really need to minimize snipe I run some scrap pieces with it to take the snipe. There is a long list of tools to buy before replacing it so it’ll never end up getting replaced before it dies. When I do I’ll probably go with a 735 and get a helical cutter for it.
  5. Because I don’t mind adding 1% to the time of building something to make sure she’s happy with something she’s going to look at every day? I know I fucking hate when I’m looking at something I made and all I see is “I wish I would have made it lighter/darker/warmer”. Why would I not take the extra time to make sure someone else doesn't feel that way? I guess it’s a luxury of doing woodworking as a hobby rather than a profession. I can waste time on perfectionism instead of having to worry about profit.
  6. 3 Rubio monocoat samples on white oak and a piece of unfinished, unsanded walnut right off the planer.
  7. I can’t fathom charging someone for a build and not having them approve a physical sample of the wood/finish combo. Hell when I make something for my wife I show her a sample of the finish on an off cut from the project before I commit to anything. Also, it looks like the floating panels of the doors are birch and not oak. And I’m not 100% convinced the rest of it is oak. The splotchiness and what looks like grain reversal in some places. Maybe pine, maybe poplar. I’d love to see the end grain of the drawers. At the very least the still visible milling marks and inconsistent sanding are the wrong choice for the stain used. The rustic milling isn’t necessarily bad in and of itself if you like that look, but it needs to have a better dye/stain combo to avoid the harsh splotchiness. But more specifically, it’s not remotely close to the refined (actually planed smooth and sanded properly) look in the inspiration piece. Did you or the builder specify actually using walnut? IMO there isn’t a better looking wood than walnut with a thin oil finish (what is pictured in your sample). All that said, what you got wouldn’t look terrible in a rustic house, but it’s a far cry from the level of finish in the inspiration.

    2 eagles and a birdie through 7 holes and he’s -2.
  9. Contrast that with Steven Stamkos, who can remember every detail about every goal he’s ever scored. The names of the defenders, how he got the puck, how he moved through the zone, where he shot it. Give him a date and an opponent and he can describe every detail about the goals he scored that game.
  10. Could have at least styled the swastika in the style of the logo.
  11. Allen says he did it to be closer to his daughters. He also got a raise from 1.5 million at psu to 1.9 million at Clemson. Makes him tied as the 10th highest paid assistant coach. Still making less than the 2.5 million Clemson was paying Venables as DC. That matches what Blake Baker (LSU DC) is currently making as the highest paid assistant coach. Most likely candidate for Penn state DC is probably Anthony Poindexter, current safeties coach and Co-DC. he’s interviewed for the job twice already when Brent Pry left to be HC and VTech and when Diaz left to be HC at Duke.
  12. He was the exact same player at Penn state. Could be called for a flag on almost every play, gets flagged often.
  13. I think he’s still a serviceable qb with a competent oline and a slightly better set of WRs.
  14. Pickens is the most frustrating WR in recent memory. And that’s with the long list of head cases the Steelers have had. He’s capable of such ridiculous highlight reel plays, but completely disappears so often.
  15. wtf was that? I thought we agreed everyone was passing to TEs and RBs only in the semifinals
  16. No they won’t. This is no better than just missing the national championship all those years they were the 2nd or 3rd best team in the big ten. Still the same thing. 2nd or 3rd best team in the big ten. Still a few players and a good coach short of a national championship. There’s nothing to feel good about with this playoff run. if Allar is even decent they win this game easily.
  17. 5 guys caught passes, 3 TEs and 2 RBs
  18. And a Steelers fan. It’s going to be a rough weekend of football.
  19. You guys better fucking win this thing. I can’t handle osu winning another national championship.
  20. Because the game isn’t already being recorded from 5 angles? You don’t have that shit being recorded? You can’t just sit back and enjoy the moment knowing it’s already covered from every angel you need to have it it from 50 yards away through a phone?
  21. He should. If he’s even decent tonight psu puts the game away in the first half.
  22. Let’s fucking go
  23. You didn’t watch the big ten championship game.
