OT 13: Unholy Guacamole

You cut the wood? What species? Finish? What style router bit you use? Glue? Bessey clamps? What you got?

I did my wife's Vet degree from a board of Walnut heart wood finished with BLO

Is that red oak? I would have mitre cut the corners and sanded more. But the roughness of the frame and the technology it contains kinda plays well together

Pocket screws on that were a huge waste of time doe.

It is some kind of oak, not sure exact species. Miter joints are hard, the square edges are both easy and give it some of that transitional charm the wife and I like. I was trying to match the look of our fireplace which is a bit of a rough finish, so I accomplished the look i was going for. Pocket screw makes a really nice joint that one cannot see from the outside....not sure what else I'd have done

no one cares about my picture frame project

fucking

Used bessey straps. Dado in the table saw to cut the relief for the backing

Nice.
I wish I had the time and space to get into woodworking more. I've built a couple of radiator covers that function as window benches, and a few other things, but my workshop is in our laundry room so I don't have nearly enough space for good tools and a dust collection system.

Are you old enough to remember that? Dat Witchiepoo

I may be missing the style you're going for but wrought iron nails would have been amazaballs

I get it. Before my first was born, I had planned on making my son a toy box from Walnut without fasteners. There seems to be no time. House in Michigan doesn't have the space and the garage isn't heated. Lot of my tools just sitting in the shed

Fucking time change.

I love it. I wish the entire country would follow Florida's footsteps.

What does Florida do? Are they like AZ where there is no time-change because they're always on Daylight Savings Time? I would love that. I see no reason to set the clocks back in the fall and lose that hour of daylight.

if it's been approved by feds or what, but they are allegedly just leaving it as daylight savings time permanently from this weekend's change going forward.

AZ is always in standard time I think? I had a layover there Thursday and it was two hours earlier than East Coast, then another today and it was three hours earlier

Oh, I thought they were always on DST. That's what I'd want to do. Hope Florida's holds up and other states catch on.
