Those who do know shit about tools

That is probably the coolest screen/divider/whatever it's called that I have ever seen.

Toshio trained as a traditional shoji screen/temple carpentry person, tho later in his career he became more interested in sculptural works and incorporating natural shapes and forms, rather than the rigid & enforced architecture of shoji.

Huge influence on contemporary Western woodworking, and reputed to be a patient teacher & humble man.

This is what outfeed tables are for.

We're not talking outfeed. We're talking support from the side as the piece is fed into the blade. A really wide slider would work, if they make such a beast.

AutoCAD is a tool, right? Here's what I've been designing for the last 6 months...

By the Dog Park?

Looks good!

Raptor Row, in my back yard.

 

[Jules]

Cool fucking zoo Jules!

OMG, don't say "zoo" They are very adamant about being a rescue organization.

That said, I find them to be some of the best people I know. Pretty cool they trusted me with designing their new facilities. And it's been a whole lot of fun.

Rocky waterfalls

Butterfly house

Turtle pond

By the Dog Park?

Yeah, between the Dog Park and the pumping station.

(You do know that Gopher tortoises can't swim, right?)

 

[SloopJonB]

They rescue butterflies?

You're an amazing woman of many talents Jules.

If only you were say 40, oh hell I would make an exception for you, even 30 years younger... sigh.

 

[Mid]

I would make an exception for you

gotta wonder what Jules answer is ....

 

[Ed Lada]

gotta wonder what Jules answer is ....

Well, I am not without many talents myself.

 

[Ease the sheet.]

Well, I am not without many talents myself.

One day, someone is going to question those talents as they push you off and ring the ambulance...

Hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Fortune favors the bold.

Non fatal injuries eventually heal. I've made it this far.

Scientific evidence suggests that both genetics and environment play a role in motor neuron degeneration. However, the cause of ALS and MS is still unknown.

 

[Ease the sheet.]

For a heathen, dying on the nest is perfectly acceptable.

The ultimate stroke...

That's in the wrong thread.

Just ignore it.

If I ever build anything like that, please feel free to kill me. (It looks like a commercial lunchroom tho, where unfuckupability is job #1. Reasonable for that space, and well enuf made for what it is.)

More and more clients are falling for the whole 'built-in appliance/wall of stainless/servo-drive everything' pitch. I wish they wouldn't. One of my more recent builds is learning there are few Miele service agents in the Mountain West -- who knew? -- to fix their pop-up range vent, which suck and will always suck til the sun goes nova. Miele doesn't have stores, or even showrooms. They have Experience Centers.

That same kitchen has a 30" wide TV built into a picture frame that lifts up on $600 Blum servos and hides a booze cabinet behind. Which is really cool ... until the day it isn't and guess who gets a phone call.

I take 35% markup on hardware so ought to just shut up and be glad about clients who demand expensive gadgets. But mostly I want them to not hate their kitchen ten years down the road.
