Time magazine published an article about this - seems like a reasonable answer. https://time.com/4292844/420-april-20-marijuana-pot-holiday-history/

I've had very good experience with PEC tools, also. You'll like the square.

That's an interesting idea about on demand recirculation. I'm going to look into that.

I really like my tankless water heaters. In southern California we can mount them on the side of the...

I often think about that with every project I do - more furniture than turning. As the project develops you have more and more time and effort invested in it. A mistake (such as cut something too...

But what do you do when your water heater is a tankless, as mine is? My original water heater is tankless and the second one I installed is also tankless. Seems that if the flow was sufficient to...

My father also died too soon, but he smoked and didn't really take care of his health. I've survived long past his death age.

[Incidently, very good thread. I've learned a lot about an...

If you get tired of waiting, consider a PEC 6 inch combination square. I found a blem here.

My experience with PEC blem tools has been very good.

Our situation was that the hot water heater was on one side of our house and our master bath was on the other side of the house. Took forever to get hot water.

I had the plumber split the system...

I've tried scratching the inside of the socket but didn't seem to make any difference. But maybe my scratches were not deep enough.

I've made a lot of handles for socket chisels, both antique and modern. The antique chisels with the rough interior sockets hold a handle well - I never had one come loose. I did have trouble with...

I made replacement handles for my LN chisels from cocobolo which is an oily wood. Had some problems with the handles staying in the sockets so I used epoxy. When I had to remove one handle, I...

Look at the tools the prospective borrower has. If they're good quality and well maintained, I'd be more willing to lend him/her a tool of mine.

When the Domino came out, I borrowed one from a...

While not a break-down, I had a .22 rifle in my youth and I could remove the stock, which would make it shorter to store.

Things were a lot different when I was a kid. As a senior in high school,...

I'm a tech person, but I'll drive my car, thank you. Systems like Telsa's self driving work well until they encounter some situation where they don't.

I've used the Tormek system in the past but didn't like it for my needs - one reason is that it's a wet system. It's also very expensive.

For chisels and plane blades, I use a WorkSharp with...

One issue when Sam was working (maybe still a policy) is that an order for a crib always went to the head of the line. Otherwise the kid would be too old for the crib:)

Although I was born in New Orleans and lived there for the early part of my life, I've been gone for a lot of years. Almost any major woodworking shop will have a wide belt sander. Commercial wide...

I agree that a wide belt sander is a better option. You're going to have to sand the planks no matter what you use (planer/wide belt). A wide belt sander is a much safer choice.

The grain in the center of your picture is end grain, not long grain.

Are you in the city of New Orleans, or in the suburbs. I'm from New Orleans.

Mike

I had the same thing happen. I now do not make end grain cutting boards. If you use them with fatty meats, the oil from the fat gets into the board and you cannot wash it out. I find the long...

The Two Cherries veneer saw is good, but you have to learn how to sharpen a veneer saw. From the store, the saw is not usable to cut veneer. That's true of all veneer saws.

Joe, at Veneer...

Today, March 29 is National Vietnam Veteran's Day. It's the day the last combat troops departed Vietnam in 1973.

With Home Depot, if you sign up with them and use their app, you will have your military discount in the app (you have to show proof of veteran status when you sign up). That way, you can go to any...

You can spray ammonia on the ants you can see in the home and that will both kill them and stop them from coming back to that location. But it does not kill the rest of the ants.
