Conservatives: “Let the free market decide!”

Also conservatives: “Not like that.”

Iowa republican caucus voters were polled and 30% said they wouldn’t vote for trump if he is convicted. Of course, the election is months away, so too many of them will surely backslide, but still. It was a higher percentage in New Hampshire, too.

Seems like I should be able to buy my own medical debt for pennies on the dollar.

Hm…I seem to recall Abbott saying that if the abortion ban passed, “Texas will work tirelessly to make sure that we eliminate all rapists from the streets.”

Apart from my first DE, a Maggard MR5, all my razors are vintage. It’s really interesting to explore all these different kinds in the thread.

SCOTUS is going to have to weigh in real quick if they don’t just stay out of the whole thing.

Huh. That’s actually the one that sprang to mind, but all this time I thought those were the same creator. 😄

 

Some little chickens I just turned. Inspired by Andy’s Cornish Creations, from L to R: birch, Myrtlewood, some kind of rosewood (we think), and maple.

 

The guy’s children were doing the sale and didn’t know what this is. It was too beautiful to pass up.

Here’s another angle. The pics are really close to the actual color.

 

I just finished this bandsaw box today; my first serious attempt. The Smile Box design is originally by Parillaworks.

Mine is white oak, with an American cherry drawer pull and Myrtlewood feet. The box was finished with Danish oil, and for the pull and feet I used walnut oil.

Apple Watch for scale (I just threw out my last banana).

 

Assuming proper alignment, is clamp n glue of the planks good enough joinery for long-term stability?
