Trying to take advantage of some free time. My wife isn’t so happy about the amount of time I’ve been spend in the shop. I figure the amount of work I have put in around the house, I deserve to do something for me. She understands, but still not thrilled. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like this? I normally only have the TV on when there is a sporting event I want to watch, Daytona 500 is today. It’s connected to an old desktop as the monitor. Normally I just stream music. But I agree, I’m not a big TV watcher. Have a few shows I enjoy, but don’t really watch that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pondhockey Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Probably a good bet that woodworkers (at least those with a separate day job) don't watch as much TV. How did you finish the corner of the vice cut out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s a shot of the Top Cutter they also have a Bottom Cutter which I find a little better. It has a high IBU count, but a lot higher alcohol content.

MattF Posted February 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Haven’t made much progress on the bench, real life got in the way. Left work early today and finished up my afternoon meetings at home with a beer. I figured since it was nice out, sunny and 35 I would have fun with my other passion, outdoor cooking. Got a couple NY Strips to go the grill for a reverse sear. They arent best looking steaks, they’ll eat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattF Posted February 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Meh, it turned ok. It’s about 10 degrees more done than I prefer. Perfect for my wife though, so she was happy. Ignore the lunchable. That’s what my son asked for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still trying to dial in the process for using the slow and sear product. This steak wasn’t the best I have done but it was pretty good. I was making sure my wife’s steak hit her desired temp and ended up cooking both to her liking. If anyone uses a Weber Kettle, look into the Slow’n’Sear. An amazing tool for the Kettle.

MattF Posted March 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 no Updates on the Roubo. I hope to get back on this thing this weekend. Wife and son are going out of town so should give me time. I also had to go to NC for a family matter. When I got back my wife had been secretly online shopping for a travel trailer. No arguments here, so we continued the shopping and picked this up last weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Thats a cool looking trailer. If you start using that on a regular basis the Roubo is going to take a little longer to complete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you start using that on a regular basis the Roubo is going to take a little longer to complete. You are right about delaying the build. But I am ok with that. We enjoy camping and getting outdoors. Actually this trailer will save me time. We are moving from tent camping, and that takes me a day to pull everything out, check the stock, and load it up. Now it just throw some clothes in the trailer and hit the grocery store on the way out of town. We are looking forward to the season this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chestnut Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 I mean it's too late now but i really love the LN 140 skew rabbeting block plane. I also have a regular block for edges and what not but the 140 takes the cake for tenon cheeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't this one turn into a skew just by holding it an an angle? : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The skew is nice because it doesn't tear out/blow out on cheeks as much and gives a cleaner cut on rabbets that you have to clean up. I personally feel that LN drops the ball on marketing the 140.
