Don't we get to play games commenting on regs picture again?

I thoroughly agree with Bob.

And then I made this great box by grooving some half datoes and glueing it up. My wife had an old prom dress which she let me cut up to line the box with and it was so nice I decided to use it for these grooving planes instead of a gift for my sister who, can you believe it, actually asked for a box but I can't be the only guy who makes velvet lined boxes for everyone so I think I should do something nice fore myself sometimes and anyway...

Why yes, I put these grooves in these other ones myself, they make great conversation pieces on the bench when I have guests over but will often get in the way when I am grooving a piece of lumber.

Oh yes, chocolate is my favorite with icing and creme filling.

... and then I casted a live nightcrawler over the other side towards the shore and tried a slow reel but no more luck there so I thought, I need one of those Jitterbugs to give this some action the fish would like but I didn't have one of those so...

Can you believe this? I just run this thingy across this wood and wala, a groove?

At least I look SOMEWHAT interested, not like that guy with the router.

I'll bet if I had a hammer I could get this thing to turn on.

Let's see, if I put a C note on Shoulda Saw it Coming in the 5th I could buy some goggles and hearing protection AND a dedicated mortising tool.

Of course I've THOUGHT about safety, why?

Yes dear, alright dear, whatever you say dear, just point me in the right direction honey, I'm sure I was wrong and you are right, you are always smarter than me...

Why yes Matt, I could use a cup of coffee.

Hmmm, if I was the subject of a photocaption contest...

No, not my wife, I was thinking about Spot, my dog.

You think THIS is something, you should see what I do with those chisels.

Don't worry, it's a Bosch.

Ain't no big thang!

Why yes Matt, I too am amazed I still have all my all 10 of my fingers and all 30 of my knuckles.

Hmmm, did I remember to shave before this photo shoot?

I guess I really should have gone fishing.

Dum-dee-dee-dee-dum-dum, huh? Where was I?

When I was a kid my dad would take me on his second job occasionally, carpenter, it's what origionally spurred my woodworking interest. We were 1 time working on the roofe of a persons shed out behind their home and dad was taking shingles off by using 1 claw hammer and hooking the claw under difficult nails and striking the head of that hammer with the second hammer. That was abou 45 years ago and I remember the bright red bursting of blood when the shrapnal from the hammer head fracture flew into his forearm so fast I couldn't see it travel, it was like a bullet. The doctor couldn't find it and he carried that tiny piece of artery peircing metal in his arm till the day he died. My brother still has that hammer even with the same handle on it that dad used all those many years ago but you can clearly see the chip where the fragment came from and the face of the hammer is peeling line the scales of a snake.. DON'T DO IT Mythebusters were wrong.

I'm a function before form then bring looks in AFTER a functional design is achieved. That's why I vote for this bookcase, looks good, works great!
