I had fun playing with the @shapertools Origin tonight and some colored mdf, it’s the first time I got to play with it. Now time to search for answers for newbie questions.

@haukedal_colton @ScotiabankHelps I don’t think you know what branch means.

I’ve completed the wing chin dummy. Solid ash. The main trunk alone without limbs is 80lb. .

It’s nice to start and complete a simple project in one go. I made this potting table for Jen last evening, a nice Father’s Day in the workshop. #woodworking #makers #ottawamakers #ottawaartist #ottawa #handmadeinthe613 #613 #handmade #tools #woodworker #handtools #woodworker

@thegoddessmadds Is this a complete sentence?

@OttFire What was the cause of the fire? Garage heater? Car being charged? Bbq? Electrical ?

Jesus, it’s like I can’t catch Covid no matter how many times it’s brought into the house.

So a Manhattan cocktail isn’t good. Normally I like any cocktail but this is like when you take an already decent drink and add in something bad. Two very conflicting flavors. Like wine and beer. You wouldn’t combine wine and beer unless you were already silly.

The truck #convoy is postponed due to possible global war. Bigger things going on I guess.

@InfaltJarrad Thanks, the 3D cutting board was the second one I’ve ever done. If you saw a video by mtm wood you’d wrap your head around it. I was able to do it without a drum sander then, just a table saw bandsaw and a planer. The hardest part is aligning the glue strips.

Almost done with these pens, I’m not sure what kind of wood this is. Any ideas? Babinga?

Here’s the result of my first pen - a pencil in this case. I was tired of moving the ziploc bag of pen supplies I was given years ago around my shop so I thought I’d just go ahead and make one. It’s actually pretty rewarding holding it.

Old iron rescue (book press and a coal forge blower). I have my work cut out for me on this one. Rust electrolysis bath coming soon.

@TerrBear1980 @Paul_Figler Did you check his dresser drawer? Not the top drawer because that’s too obvious but the next one.

I bought a Costco tv 2.5 years ago and it recently developed a faint white glow at the bottom center of the frame. It’s not a big deal. I bought the extended $50 warranty that adds 3 years. I called to have it looked at and they sent me a cheque for refund. Warranty Recommended!

@TerrBear1980 Hey mine too! Just waiting to get tested. Oh crap does that mean I have to get tested too?
