Very weird, this guy seems to have moved into our garage. Just saw it again!
At my wife's church people honk at each each other trying to get out of the parking lot. Brotherly love lasts about one minute after leaving the building.
I've also wondered about Ixonia's unique name! Thanks for the owl and knowledge 👍
This is what I did for you our kids. Used a bull nose but in a router for the engraving. The graduations were done with a straightedge while the numbers were freehanded over pencil lines.
I then spray painted it black and sanded off the paint from the flat surfaces, leaving it paint in the engraving troughs.
Their heights are simply penciled on.
We're pretty pleased with it. It looks nice and doesn't feel out of place.
Phone photo of an group of bluebird young. Bluebirds have kept control of one of our nest boxes for about a month now and it's great to see a fruitful result!
I try to leave them alone so this is the first time I've peeked in there.
I think that would be a perfectly good jaw vise. But only put in a few dog holes, as shown in their product photos, to maximize rigidity.
Give CopyQ a try. Open source, cross platform clipboard manager with tons of features.
One example option is being able to only ever paste plain text. It also has lots of programming hooks, I have a few for doing things like converting a line-feed delimited list into one delimited by commas and quoting the values.
I'd tip out the pot and gently separate the saplings. Hopefully they're not too entangled. Go ahead and replant in the ground with the same potting soil, taking care to make the holes deep enough for the tap roots. They're long!
We have the Brother HL-L3230CDW and are happy with it. Works fine with inexpensive toner cartridges from Amazon.
There's a groove on the insides of the walls that the plywood fits into.
Plain wood glue for the corners but the bottom is not glued in order to let the sides move with humidity changes.
Our toddler messing with this glass scale was the inspiration! I bet an off the shelf letter holder would work.
Router table but yeah a table saw would do it too.
Yep FB is the way to go for local sales. I'm in a large metro area and exclusively use it.
He still does Red Meat?? That was my favorite part of the reading the (paper issues of) Onion way back in the day.
I finally got a #7 and needed a place to keep it. My #5-1/2 fit into a drawer so I never needed large plane till until now.
Often these kind of tool cabinets are elaborate masterpieces made from treasured hardwood felled by one's grandfather; not this one, it's made from scrap plywood and gets the job done. I have two little ones that don't leave me much shop time right now.
The box is about 25" wide, 15" wide, and 10" deep. Piano hinge for the door with a rare earth magnet catch.
Drawer box dado corners with everything else being screwed on for future adjustability.
The till is simply leaned up against the back wall and screwed in place.

I use little squeeze bottles for mineral spirits, denatured alcohol, etc. Refilling them has always been a messy and tricky operation while trying to hold the bottle, funnel, and canister all at the same time.
This little bottle holder has made that task much eaisier!! Having it clamp into the vise eliminates any possibility of the bottle tipping over.
I know this isn't strictly about birding but who doesn't like Eastern Bluebirds?
So this spring I put up two bluebird nest boxes (X-Box design on EMT posts) only to have the bluebirds repeatedly evicted by house sparrows.
A few times I ready about using fishing line to deter the house sparrows, and it has actually worked! I attached two horizontal beams to the tops of the houses and then hung monofilament weighted with large hex nuts.
That was about six weeks ago and now we have a bluebird family in one and house wrens in the other.
Edit - on my lappy so I'll post some links
