Do you think lumber prices will come down next year? I might be done this year if this keeps up.

Seems so.

Pandemic lumber boom burnt itself out — and consumers poised to benefit now |...

[Nickscafe]

Yes!

Does this mean that if I built this generator with one of those magnets, it would generate power for hundreds of years?

very literate question

i’m sorry
i was in error in an earlier post
The tunnels, with a total length of 15,946 feet, or about 3 miles, were excavated to 56 feet and lined with 3 feet (300,000 cubic yards) of concrete. The tunnels could carry over 200,000 cubic feet - more than 1.5 million gallons - of water per second!
not two tons but
1.5 million gallons
who can say how much that weighs?

That was amazing. The fun part is that, if I saw that on a store shelf, I would think, “oh it’s made in some Chinese factory, I have far too much taste to own such a thing”. lol. The truth is I do not have enough taste to recognize a handmade work of art over a factory made piece of trash. I’m also not sure I care enough about the difference for me to pick the handmade thing each time, especially given the price difference.

[Nickscafe]

Agreed. There is little way to tell the difference. It is heavier than cheap plastic crap, but if you don’t pick it up in a store you’d never know.

• Fits workpieces up to 12 inches long and 8 inches wide
• 3.2-amp motor provides over 50% more power than most 8-inch wood lathes

@Who_Scowls_Like_That

your poll is based on a faulty premise.
things in your home with metal are called appliances.
you need to get your terms in order, bucko.

larry ellison’s house was built without a single piece of metal

there is a god
how much proof do you need?

[DthBreath]

What people don’t understand about wood. It simply doesn’t exist anymore.
I think people are grown the same way these days. Would explain your height/weight charts and projected size and strength.

When it just comes too easy. What’s the cost?
Why would you want to stop certain people from woodworking?

[Nickscafe]

Made a wine rack. VERY HEAVY!!!

[DthBreath]

Hopefully it all breaks including those wine bottles. Either that or Elmer Gantry crashes your place with his fireman’s axe. Would be real nice if he belted you in that glass jaw of yours as your you were sipping your glass.

Pay for your own cancer Dan, it doesn’t feel that good for its worth.

[DthBreath]

Stop exchanging cancer for work. Even with your health/medical time it doesn’t balance out in the positive. You’re more the problem.
You can’t woodwork by throwing yourself into it without consequence.
