  1. interesting anectdata: of the 7 #fabrics stores i usually peruse for deals, only 3 are offering #July4th sales and all but one have raised the threshold for getting free delivery. ALL OF THEM HAVE RAISED PRICES. none is affiliated with Wonky Luthor’s website.

    in other words? #MAGAnomics is fucking the very petit burgeois (aka small business owners, some singlenaires) that traditionally vote #Republican #GOP and went hard for #Trump.

  2. #throwbackthursday Almost 10 years ago I had a membership to the late lamented Techshop #Pittsburgh and made this #laser cut #chess set and box for the pieces. It was a challenging project, but a lot of fun. I’d doubt my kids have used it more than a couple of times. Box is 1/4” cherry plywood, board and pieces at acrylic cut on their @trotecusa laser.

  3. I’ve been 3D printing since 2013 with a MakerGear M2 fused filament printer, and am truly amazed at what the AnyCubic mono 4k at $189 can do. These are right out of the box, no tuning. The print quality is mind boggling.

  4. I finally got around to making drawers for a bench I made a few years ago from a reclaimed door I got at Construction Junction (an architectural salvage & reuse nonprofit here in #Pittsburgh ) and some square steel tubing. The drawers are simple plywood and pocket hole joinery draw fronts are cherry, and the pulls were from someone running a brushing scam. I only have 18 more to use.

  5. #ThrowbackThursday starting to post some content. I built this New Yankee Workshop router table about 25 years ago using a ShopSmith 10er that I still have and use only for the occasional turning project. The router table has seen a lot of use over the years as I’ve added to my shop. Thank Norm.
