I don’t hate it! A little shimming goes a long way. Total run will be nine cabinets with a miter saw station and dust collection in between.

Doing another 8 foot run of these cabinets with a miter saw station under the window in the back. Will do another row of cleats, too, so storage should be locked after that.

First Cybertruck I’ve seen with a compelling paint job. That said this is exactly the color car I wanted when I was 13.

Had a half day off so got around to making the toddler his own table and chair set especially now that he’s revolting against various forms of high chair / booster seat.
This is leftover acacia countertop, trimmed 2x4s, pocket screws and glue finished with tung oil.

This was a somewhat risible sentiment when it was published in 2004, but I think it’s the core philosophical problem with modern American conservatism and its descent into fascism.

![The aide said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' [...] 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors...and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do'.[2]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hwb7xa7tn2li2ozdijlw3w7h/bafkreihgvnyu652tbtkam4ipeqekhuusr5sfrrmt3z7smd75gpt4jtmfaq@jpeg)

What is the best cheap tool that has repeatedly come through for you?
This is mine. From a $1.99 pack at Harbor Freight. Great for small repairs, cleanup, and most recently reassembling hooks and loops on a car seat.

POV: you must find where the bathroom exhaust exits the house to install flexible duct work. A wizard has covered the ground in spiky snow that tastes funny.

Very happy with how this engraved coaster wedding project turned out. 140 personalized coasters with table assignments. The flowers are ones the bride and groom grew themselves for the wedding.
Guests enjoyed the keepsakes and folks were able to find their names quickly.
