Dying laughing here. Can’t help thinking this is what DJT would sound like if he built a workbench.

‘Try actually fighting’: Democrats face voters’ fury at town halls | CNN Politics Democratic lawmakers have faced eruptions of anger at town hall meetings across the country this week, as constituents have coupled their fury over President Donald Trump’s actions with deep frustrati...

I'm not a fan of CNN, but this headline pretty much says what I'm feeling. Where is the real Democratic leadership? Why am I not seeing voices of calm leadership? All I get is spam texts asking me to give them money.

Trump Organization sues Capital One for closing bank accounts after Jan. 6 attack on US Capitol A company owned by President Donald Trump is suing Capital One. It claims the bank unjustifiably terminated over 300 of the Trump Organization’s accounts without cause shortly after the Jan. 6, 2021, ...

Two thoughts:
1. I didn’t know Capital One did that. I think I love them.
2. Republicans, you can’t have it both ways. If a business can refuse to make gay wedding cakes for being against their beliefs , then a business should be able to refuse service to riot instigators.

I prefer the linseed oil

Me too!

I got a new tool chest.*

『Kigumi House Carpenter Akinori Abo: Building House』 Long Version / English Subtitle YouTube video by 竹中大工道具館

I’m watching a documentary about a Japanese carpenter who builds HOUSES using dovetails and other joinery. It’s freaking amazing.

It’s not enough to be against something. It’s time to stand FOR something. Otherwise, this country is falling hard and fast.

This list is a good start.

I couldn’t resist sharing.

If it was 59 degrees outside right now, I’d think it was delightful. But inside, I’m bundled up in a fluffy robe and hiding under a blanket.

Gadget can empathize

Spread the message!

Y’all were right about using pine for dovetails. Makes decent kindling though.

Hi :). There are a few of us here from Women in Woodworking

He’s almost the Mister Roger’s of woodworking. I just got his book. I think I can learn a lot from the man.

Thank you 😊 Yes. It’s pine. I figured I’d practice with less expensive woods at first.

I have been watching a Vietnamese woman woodworker lately. She is quite calming, and definitely makes me want to up my dust collection game.

From a woman’s perspective, men who do creative things, or who can fix things are definitely a wee bit sexy. I suspect woodworkers are less sexually frustrated than gamers.

I’m finally trying to do dovetails for the first time ☺️. I don’t know why, but hand planing and cutting dovetails feels like being a “real” woodworker.

Thank you.

This looks so satisfying every time I see it on video. I haven't had a reason to do it myself yet, but I'm kinda looking forward to it.

That would be cool

I beg people to at least check Snopes before they share stuff. Sharing fake things only gives them an excuse to cry "fake news" about everything.

Which is why I adore your cats - from afar :D

I hope like hell Democrats somewhere are sitting in a back room coming up with a project 2029.

I can’t help but wonder. Are Tesla’s the new Volkswagen?

Me too.

I deleted it too, but luckily, I had broken my addiction way before the shut down threat. The second they thanked the Cheeto, I deleted the app.

Yes, it is :)
