Another late evening in the workshop

[John Towns]

Can I presume that you wear white when working before 6 PM?

[Zach Dillinger]

"No Mr. Bond, I expect you to resaw!"

[Prashun Patel]

I take my martinis shaken, not stirred.
I take my boards planed, not sanded.

[Phil Mueller]

For special occasions, Mr Holcombe abhors using common cologne, and prefers the scent of exotic hardwood. Freshly cut of course.

[Stanley Covington]

I can imagine Brian doing whiskey commercials wearing his tuxedo like Bill Murray in the movie Lost in Translation. And maybe like Jethro Gibbs, he empties out screws from a jam jar on his workbench and pours a drop for himself and his vistors.

A classy guy!

[Patrick Chase]

I take my boards planed, not sanded.

Are you sure he isn't hiding a SuperMax just out of frame there? Brian has fallen to the Dark Side of late, and there's no telling what depths his depravity may reach.

[Brian Holcombe]

Bah, no sanders. I certainly plan more machines but likely they will be; Sliding table shaper, sliding table saw, Maka mortiser or other mortisers and similar stuff. I would like to bring my metal working tools in house as well, but that's quite unlikely with my current layout. I have a bridgeport mill and a small metal lathe that would be nice to have immediate access to.

Hehe, I love this thread!

John, I'm out in the country, so patterns like gun check, small stripes, tattersal, madras plaid, and big plaids are all in play. I can't help myself but to have a bold stripe now and again.

[Matt Lau]

I can totally picture Brian doing this commercial:

[Malcolm McLeod]

I am pretty sure there IS a movie series in here:

Dr. Notch
Chiselfinger
Thunderplaner
You Only Measure Twice
On Her Majesty's Shoji Service
Carbides are Forever
Live and Let Dovetail
The Man with the Golden Blockplane
Quantum of Sawdust

....The list could go on.

Hmm, maybe for the Suntory side of the company?

I think we've lost something in translation here.

[Malcolm McLeod]

And if we want to keep the series fresh and current with recent - - shall we say .....acquisitions-

The Spy Who Lathed Me

(This definitely has possibilities!)

[Brian Holcombe]

The own Jim Beam (it's now Beam Suntory) and they make whisky much to my preference, like Hibiki and so forth.

Yeah I was playing off of the fictional Suntory ad that provides the backstory for Lost in Translation...

Kind of ironic it got lost in the interpretation . . . . . but it was a tad bit on the esoteric side; none-the-less, well played, sir. Well played.
