I work at a nano-brewery, so it will only be available on tap at the brew pub.

Iā€™ve talked about my neighbor and his cancer. This is the fastest Iā€™ve ever seen cancer go downhill, heā€™s gone from healthy as a horse to Oh My God within 5 weeks of the first symptom.

His family asked so I made a stack of these.

Iā€™d wear that t-shirt!

(Breast cancer survivor, but Iā€™d rather go with the more general sentiment to include all cancer, not just the hot pink kind.)

Our scout troop didnā€™t have time to build a new float for our local 4th of July parade from scratch so weā€™re giving the Yeti we made for the winter holiday parade a summer-themed makeover.

Luckily thereā€™s a local mini-golf course where he spends his time between parades so I donā€™t have to store him at our house.

would you believe that building code for trailers specifies that the steps up to the doors and any decks incorporated with them must be completely freestanding?
in Hall County, GA, anyway.

I lived in a trailer (mobile home) for a few years. Thereā€™s not enough substance to the structure to support any other additions. It barely supported itself!

Fun fact: mobile homes earned that moniker because the first factory producing them was near Mobile, Alabama. They were never intended to be ā€œmobileā€ past the initial delivery. The generic industry term for them is ā€œmanufactured housing.ā€

Snopes has that as a lost legend, for people who donā€™t want the truth to get in the way of a good story. :thinking:

Iā€™ve decided to make a cello. Iā€™m no luthier, and the last thing I built was a Honda Civic engine. The youngest plays, and Iā€™m hoping to present her with a playable instrument in about 3 years. Iā€™m not a great wood worker, but Iā€™ll learn. Iā€™m starting with cardboard to learn the shapes, then Iā€™ll advance to cheap wood to learn the wood techniques. I figure at least 3 cellos enroute to something that works (I doubt theyā€™ll ever sound like a real proper instrument and thatā€™s ok). Along the way I hope to learn woodworking techniques, more about the history, and maybe be able to play a few lines of music.

Iā€™m building a 7/8th model, and Iā€™ve already made plenty of mistakes, which is part of the fun.

I didnā€™t make the top and bottom exactly the same, which makes this version even wonkier.

I am a pretty experienced woodworker, but luthier sort of work has always intimidated the hell out of me! Thatā€™s inspiring.

I am not a maker, but occasionally i get grand ideas that are beyond what i can produce. One of those at one point was that i wanted to make my own ukulele from scratch (not using a kit), i watched a video of a very talented luthier make one and decidedā€¦ maybe i should just buy a ukulele :stuck_out_tongue:

But i really admire that youā€™re having a go at making a cello, itā€™s looking great. Eager to see your next attempt.
