Tell me you didn't find that just a little bit funny?

Yeah. It was so hilarious i had to delete my first few posts just to let it slide. A real side splitter

Well, I'm sorry it wasn't funny to you. The next time you find something online like a picture of someone sitting on a porcupine or a naked guy spread-eagle on a cactus, feel free to post it here as a caricature of me.

Don't you think you're due for your medicine?

I've shot myself up with so much stuff, that you wouldn't be far off. You have my blessing. One giant mockery of me, I grant you. Go ahead and give me my medicine.
For you, @DomGom TheFather, it's OK, because you're a thoughtful person, a friend, and I know you have good intentions.

Lay off. I'm serious.
I'll fight a god damned robot if i have to.

I think this thread has run its course. I'm not planning on reading or posting in this thread anymore. See you elsewhere on AB, and wishing the best for all of you.

Yeah! Well-put! Now I've been watching woodworking videos on Youtube, trying to pick up some tricks from veteran professional woodworkers.

On the subject of bees, I got a job working for a garage door company. Two bosses and the peon, me. Boss 1 was a master carpenter, literally, a degree in joinery. Boss 2, general carpenter. Assigned to the SeaBEES during WW II. They were stationed on an island where they serviced and repaired PT boats. And one day they got notice to evacuate, enemy expected. Well, they had no boat. So they built one and headed south. Imagine banging together a boat in one week that could carry 5 people nearly 1000 miles. Lost, they got rescued by a US destroyer.
Boss 1, one day grabbed me and we went out to bid on a job. A 9 foot tall 17 foot across wood door had broken it's newest set of springs. We replaced the springs and the boss put in a bid for a new door. I saw the bid. Aluminum door and opened with hardware at cost price. No labor charge.
So our bid was accepted. We delivered and installed the new door and loaded the old one up. I wised up. That old door was 1 inch thick clear heart Honduras Mahogany. Weighed at least 300 lbs.
Jump forwards 6 months, visiting the bosses house. Brightwork everywhere, oil finished mahogany. But the kicker. Open any lovely mahorgany door in the house. Less than 90 degrees it would shut and latch itself. More than 90 degrees it stayed open. Seamless perfect joinery plus superb crafting skill mounting all the doors just right. A gunsmith custom made the hardware, hinges and latches.
And me, in the running for the worlds worst carpenter. Well below pathetic.

Back to the bees.

Back to the bees.

Throw in the hoverflies and we got a deal.

On second thought, forget it.
I'm out.
