Woodworking

[aitm]

If we lived in the same neighborhood we would have tremendously messy garages, but oh…..the furniture we could make….I love you.






er



ahem…..what the fuck is wrong with you and your fingers asshole?

Jeeez.. You're starting to sound like my gf.. what the fuck is wrong with me indeed.... You should see my messy floor out here in the shop.. I leave the wood shavings there if for no other reason than they're cusioning for my feet and they help soak up the vomit when I read one of your posts.. lol

Messy yes, but it's very comforting to my feet and ankles. It's not a lot of fun when I inadvertently drop small parts on the floor though..

I'm taking a break from pounding on chisels and such for awhile. My hands (fingers too) and shoulders are starting to ache. 4 mortises left to chop.. 3.5 inches deep and 3.5 long..then the fun part of cutting the tenons.. I could set up the tenon jig and use the table saw, but I like using chisels instead. It's probably just an illusion, but I feel like I'm actually accomplishing something that way..

That need a comma somefuckingwhere in there.

Personally I find it just a tad insulting to mention my finger and asshole in the same sentence, but in the name of why can't we all just get along and sing kumbyaism I'm willing to overlook it just this once.. However, the next time  be prepared to wake up chained to a tree naked and me standing there with my crappy, but very sharp Stanley SB4 plane and a very evil look on my face..It will fail to be the most pleasant experience of your life unless you have a strange kink and the burning desire to be castrated 1/100th of an inch at a time..

Enough of the unpleasantries.. I got my hands on a 1941 model OH4 Stanley two tone plane. It's a bit rusty, but cuts dead on.


It's going to need a new tote (back handle) because it's beginning to rot, but it still works pretty damn good..

By the way..anyone in the market for a wood plane don't waste your money on much of anything newer than 40-50 years old. Go straight to ebay or a comparable site and find you an old Stanley made before 1970. Even if it looks old and rusty it'll likely slice through wood much better and faster than anything on the market today.  You might have to do a bit of truing the sole and honing the blade, but the difference is like the difference between trying to get to the moon by stacking up greasy ball bearings and taking a rocket ship.

Well..apparently my hand isn't made of wood..
I'm off to the VA and likely stitches..

[AllPurposeAtheist]

I'm probably not going to be chopping mortises for a few days. This hurts more now than it did when I actually jabbed the chisel into it, but on the bright side the lady doc who sewed me up was cute and flirty.. I'm kind of hoping she's the one who removes the stitches.. 5 new stitches in me.. I need to learn how to not hurt myself, but at least I got some good drugs out of the deal.. It even hurts to type so later..I'm going into a drug induced coma..

Oye. Hoping for a speedy recovery.

It's an old Wattaburger mug, about 50 years old..all glass. I like it..I try to avoid washing it. Coffee mugs shouldn't be washed unless something really nasty lands in it..

I am always surprised about the number of people who just don't know this!

I have a hunch this new hole in my hand is going to stick around awhile.. I've been up all night and it just throbs in a not so wonderful way.. Just petting the cat hurts.. lol  I'm kind of hoping it's just sewn a bit too tight and that's it.  I've been stitched up more times than I want to remember and sometimes the stitching job is what makes it hurt more than the actual cut. The doc was sweet and all, but if I had to do it all again I'd ask someone else to do the sewing.

Keep your hand above your heart, a homebrew sling will do. That'll handle most of the throbbing. And use ice, as needed.

You're truly,

Ice until you can't stand it. Then epsom salts in hot water for ten fifteen minutes, back into some ice and smack your toe with a hammer. Hand won't hurt at all…for awhile.

Nice gash by the way…..at least I cut my whole finger off…I don't fuck around.

Bourbon until you can't stand. Then more bourbon.

Meh, no bone showing. Can't give full points.
