John Heisz showed a little while back how he made his own feather board for table saw use. You can buy one of course or you can make your own, as mechanically they’re fairly simple. I’ve seen more than a few examples that use either a mag switch to connect to the cast iron top of a saw or some that use an expandable bar to fit into a miter/T track.

Never before have I heard of what I would call herbs referred to as spice plants, but I love it. Congrats on the new family addition.

I absolutely agree, usually I go for the ganged up edge planing to get that complementary mating edge. Also if I were more than a hobby shop and doing things for money on a time budget, I’d probably think about buying some of that oh so expensive Festool stuff.

Unexpected Dr. Horrible.

I hear it can be a bit of a process. I’d recommend researching a fair amount before diving in. That said I’ve been waiting for the right project to do just that. Best of luck!

Supposing you can find enough of it affordably, you could veneer the whole top. To make it interesting you could try cutting it and applying it in a geometric pattern if that’s your thing.

Per the linked article “toward the southern part of the besieged territory”, which seems awfully vague for a major displacement of people.

Nice work.

No kidding. Hey I’ve got a great idea for a new marketplace, BeaNFT. You can waste your money but get an upcycled Beanie Baby in the process.

I’ve overdone garlic, specifically with garlic powder. It’s an interesting burning sensation, I don’t recommend it.

Those two are always make for a great listen, they keep things pretty clean and fairly non-political.

“Where the Deer and the Antelope Play: The Pastoral Observations of One Ignorant American Who Loves to Walk Outside”

by Nick Offerman. If you like Nick’s humor, chances are you can enjoy this book. It’s easy enough to put down and pick up between chapters, which has been a benefit lately with my sporadicly available reading time of late.
