When i drill my holes smaller than necessary i just use a scrap board, drill my hole with the correct diameter and place it over my smaller hole with some clamps or double sided tape..

“I don’t need a watch to tell me I didn’t sleep well” Not for everyone, but looking at sleep patterns over the scale of weeks / months can show some important patterns, especially sleep credit / debt. Also the heartrate watches are good at measuring quality in my experience, e.g. deep sleep. A restful night can take 1-2 days to have impact and the watch / app confirms if you had a good one. Also super happy to see you got a/c !! I remember during the crazy heat waves last year you said it was just gatorade and sweat !

You asked about that moment when I switch from interested to intrigued? Bowling Alley Wax. I swear I could hear the squeak as the hamster fell off the wheel in my head. While not a sheen I'd go to on a personal project, it's really cool to know that it exists, and to see how it looks! For lack of a better word, it looks like a "natural" high gloss finish. It's not uniform like a polished poly or epoxy, yet it's not splotchy like a hastily applied spar (don't ask...). It feels very organic. I've played around with so many obscure finishes over the years--I've even tried sanding and polishing raw wood--and you've just given me something new to play with, so thank you! Also, heckin' subscribed. Killer work!

For me the shift between interest and intrigue is always arbitrary, except when it isn't. I sometimes spend an hour or 2 with chisels, planes and a hand saw making small wall mounts for random tools. The only certainty for me is that building the same thing twice is anathema.
@theofarmmanager267Ай бұрын
I loved your comment. Mainly because I’m so different. I’ve been woodworking for over 45 years now and my atttiude to tool storage etc is that it must be functional and hardwearing but not necessarily built for looks. I know some shops where all the storage is made of fine hard wood and each drawer has foam cutouts for each tool. Again, I’m halfway towards that. I don’t make my storage items out of anything in particular - almost inevitably out of scrap and so, each piece may be a mosaic (mess?) of different Timbers. I do use magnets to keep stuff in place but I guess I’m too old now to think of foam cutouts. My list of pieces to build is very long. Way too long for me to achieve before I die. And that list only gets longer as I think of something or get inspiration for something. So, I’m so busy making pieces that I don’t want to spend time making my shop look pretty. All of this is no criticism at all - it’s rather a celebration of how different people approach the same hobby/work from such different perspectives. Long may that continue.

Both comments here got a like from me. Just wanted to add here that I often do the same - turning shop stuff into a time suck - but my philosophy is that it is good practice for "really nice" stuff.

That stuff to do maybe in the workshop but it could be housework, cleaning the car, caring for the fruit and vegetables. I was MD of a large company for many years and I “learnt” about prioritisation and, perhaps, that’s got so ingrained in me now that I can’t do “fun stuff” if I know there is “serious stuff” to do.

Interest to intrigue generally happens when I think "How can this impact my life and would it be for the better?"

It looked that you may have used the cutoff wheel on the angle grinder to de-burr (sand) the outside of the metal pipes. Ifffffffff this was the case, be very, very careful. While very easy, the side stress on an extremely fast turning blade that is not designed for it is one of the big reasons these blades shatter….
