Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Everyone looks unusually handsome and alert today! Have a good day men!

 

Fixed!

Knock it out of the park early and coast into Monday, gents.

 

I like your hair!!

Good morning folks

 

In my vernacular it is "a/the tape" when used in the context of "grab a tape" or "hand me the tape".

Recognizing that others aren't mind readers I would say "bring a tape measure" when referring in the abstract like when packing up to go on a job for instance.

 

Tape measures & putty knives...
No matter how many of the things I buy I can never seem to find one.

 

My attitude towards tape measures, if you have less than 10 you will not have one when needed. After you find one, the tape gremlin will run away with it as soon as you put it down.

 

I was laying in bed reading this last night thinking, I know exactly where my 3 tape measures are and I could find them in the pitch black dark. I needed one first thing this morning and 2 of my 3 weren't there! Serves me right

 

I'm more amazed at the number of people that can't easily read a tape measure.

I just cringe when I come across one of those tapes that have fractions written on them.

I'm not judging. One of my best friends is a contractor and all his tapes are that way.

 

When I let the dogs out this morning I tried to see how far my Chameleon tape measure could extend out before buckling. A whole 8 feet. I haven't attempted my 27 year old fluorescent green Stanley Leverlock yet.

 

I have a sliding square, and large compass currently MIA

 

i have close to 10

 

Didn’t know you’ve seen me with my shirt off but I’ll take it



Bald rocks

 

My brother would say “34 and 5 big marks past that” I had to teach him what those big and little marks were

 

When I worked in a shop, the biggest challenge I saw was people who read them like that and couldn't grasp the fractions.

 

This is just a quick trip around the shop at the house, there’s more than this at work

 

I knew you wouldn’t have any problems getting it done

 

Can’t wait to see it finished, looking good!!

 

First look with only stain...

And no filters! I will put a final coat of stain in about an hour. Not to darken it but to make sure I did not miss anyplace lol. 4X coats of polyurethane with wet sanding in between. Almost done.
