I think it might be time for another potpourri thread

I and my nephew got the same post card personalized for hats, T shirts ect, nice marketing touch, but since I am am not in business, or want commission work, to wear it to, I will pass on buying it for myself.

You don't have to have business or do commission work to wear this stuff. I get tired of getting hats with Menard, Pep Boys or what ever name on them and then advertising for them.... so now you can have your own hat to wear that is more who you are. You will see far fewer of these hats then you will NACAR or what even else people are into.... I'm into woodworking and am wearing that, better then having someone say look at the old guy over there when they can say look at the woodworker over there......... granted the old guy fits but still.

I dont wear a hat much anyway, and NEVER one with Commercial Logo on it, even if it was free, and they usually arnt. I do like your point in your last sentence. I had one that said " Dysfunctional" on the front, one of my favorites when I did wear one. OBTW, staying dry???

If they can pay Major League Basket Ball players millions they could at least pay me a hundred or 2.

Antenna TV people are any of you using a LTE filter in your coax run to your TV?

I have a TV tuner (actually two tuners in a box) that provide Ethernet TV on my PC's but they are having problems tuning some channels and some people think it might be due to cell phone signal strength. I'm not sure I buy that but for the few dollars I guess I could try a filter and see what if anything happens.

I'd just buy a newer version but with ATSC 3.0 coming I don't want to have to replace it along with all my other ATSC 1 stuff, 2 tvs, dvcr, and this box.

Here is a quick project I made for my mother in law. We spend 1 day each weekend at their place 80 miles away since her parkensons started hitting hard. I set up a MK 5 500 w/ scrollsaw for small projects at their place. Stained pine.

Paul, is that freehand or do you work from a pattern of some kind .... that is pretty slick!

That's out of Scrollsaw Woodworking & Crafts magazine. Winter/Spring 2016. The picture doesn't hint to size, but it's about 7" x 6". I do a lot of projects out of that magazine.

Going to show my most recent completion if I can figure out how to post a pic. I have made several of these and this one is somewhat sloppy. Lessons learned. Made only on a Shopsmith.


Steve, the old swampgator

I'd love to make a "sloppy" bandsaw box like that, swampgator. My family would think I was a woodworking genius, and the wife might not roll her eyes so much when yet another machine follows me home from Craigslist.

First off the word is pronounced pōpəˈrē or pōpo͝oˈrē. How this works is we post what ever and the the thread goes where ever it takes us and lasts as long as there is interest.

One thing on my mind is wondering why as a wood working forum we don't get more projects posted and a lot more how-to information? It seems it would be natural but it isn't, why is that?

In my case, I always have the best intentions, usually take some photos, but rarely find the time to tell the tale. But I will, I promise. Maybe when the last two kids go off to college ...

In the meantime, I like popourri threads. I shot a photo I'm pretty proud of, but doesn't merit it's own thread. I bought my wife a fast low-light fixed lens for Christmas, so she could take better pics in the gyms at our kids' sporting events. She's about given up on it though, because the depth of field is so shallow when shooting wide open. But it's great for still-life pics.

And that's the low-res version.

My wife was a high-school student living on the outskirts of Xenia when the famous monster triple-funnel cloud leveled that town. But generally speaking, twisters are few and far between around these parts. Do know something I don't (and obviously need to)?

Sorry, I thought you lived in Nebraska.
You are just getting Thunder Storms like us.

If that were the case he would be "cornhuskerdennis".
