I'm in shop furniture mode right now. So I made this for my shopvac and seperator. Super cheap and easy. I also created the pipe clamp on the right for my work bench.

Looks like Woodcraft is running a 10% off sale this week on Jet tools. I think I’m going to sell my delta one and buy their cyclonic separator.

Laguna wants a bunch of money for shipping. And I will move mountains to find a way to avoid paying tax and/or shipping...

I cut 100 stamp blocks for a neighbor who has an etsy store. Against my preferences, she wanted white wood. Couldn't even talk her up to pine. Sanded these within an inch of their lives to make them look presentable. 900 more to go...

I love general finishes arm-r-seal poly. It’s a wipe-on, so it if super thinned down and self-levels.

I’ve never had to finish 400 blocks like you are tackling; I’d be tempted to spray poly onto them.

As far as drying, I have no experience here, but I would probably over-engineer a solution as follows: drive ~100 brad nails halfway through a section of plywood, creating a bed of raised, exposed nail heads. I would dry the stamp blocks [future] stamp-side down on these nails, thus minimizing the surface area of finished stamp blocks that are in contact with a non-finished surface. And since it’s stamp-side down, any nail head marks will be hidden when the stamp is affixed.

Does anyone have any insight into partners retiring early? I am at a point where I need to consider leaving if I am not aiming for partner. I don’t see myself working past my 40s. My partner and I are not big spenders and anticipate have enough to retire comfortably in 40s (obviously a lot can change). I have been assured I will become SM in next year (currently 31 years old).

22 years old and currently focused on using my left over income to invest and pay off my debt.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get into/learn more about real estate investing? Or how I can have enough knowledge on the topic to be able to invest wisely when the time comes?

Any books? youtubers? etc. How did you all learn about it?

What software do you guys use to come up with woodworking plans? Looking into a couple different options, but curious to know what's popular here.

Not quite woodworking (yet), but I’ll end up building the speaker cabinet for this thing shortly.

Anyone find a good source for cheap garage floor mats? Need to cover about 300sqft and would love to avoid paying through the nose lol… Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places but it seems like flooring mats are shockingly expensive. Am I just out of touch?

PSA: Jet and Powermatic are having supply chain issues. Ordered a jet dust collector in March with an April delivery date. Woodcraft has pushed it back every month and their current best estimate is July 7th (though they are still advertising a June ship date). Just keep that in mind if you have any sense of immediacy around your purchasing needs.

Sat down tonight and forced myself to learn Sketchup in order to design some cabinets for a bathroom remodel.... it’s literally a game changer. It will even orient your grain pattern and spit out an optimized plywood cut diagram. Really cool.

I’m looking for recommendations for a bench top bandsaw. I’m willing to invest in a nicer one down the line, but right now I want to keep it under $300. I mostly see Powertec, Shop Fox, or Wen. There is a $375 Grizzly I’d consider if it’s way better than the others. Any thoughts?

Well guys and gals: I did it. I found a way to merge consulting and woodworking. I present to you a walnut shoe rack full of Allen Edmonds shoes. Still need to put some finish on it and complete a second identical one for the closet. Addl. pics below
