Random Announcements

Yesterday I was working on making a work table for my garage, which involved making numerous angled cuts with a circular saw.  Since I'm minimally skilled, it was a slow process and resulted in a few too many miscut boards.  I vented a bit to my wife and said that it would be quicker and better if I had a compound miter saw.  She asked how much one was, I told her the range I was considering, she said, "mmmm."  End of conversation.  Today, she told me that she's been wanting a bench for our back porch and if I build one to her specifications, I have free rein to purchase a miter saw.

If I play this right, I may get a table saw out of the deal, too.

Hank Hill, ladies and gentlemen.

I convinced Jody to let me get a 26" A frame ladder a similar way. We did a cost comparison on how much it would cost to hire a handyman to install a new ceiling fan vs getting the giant ladder, and the cost was the same as the ladder. Plus I got a really nice ladder out of it

Btw, my dad might have a compound miter saw he'll sell you. His hands aren't too steady anymore and he's not comfortable using it

Thanks for the heads up, but I already jumped on one.  Had to buy before Julie came to her senses…

You mean before she wakes up from the GHB induced "nap"…

Po-tay-to, po-tah-to.  All the same, really.

Who told you what gentlemen do?

It's instinctive Christopher, I am English. In the colonies you merely ape the behaviour of the old world.

You know that you have a hangover when you wake up staring at shirts hanging on your wardrobe and thinking about how awesome they are for 20 minutes.

Just sent my resume to SELA. Might as well give it a shot!

Would be cool to have our own mole within the SE infrastructure… Good luck IH agent!.. 

[Blackheart]

Good luck Arabit, if you get the gig I'll swing by and say hi.

Good luck Archie!

Not sure if this is a random announcement or more of a a rant, but im about to go into a meeting to let a staff member go.  It's a truy awful feeling.

When I was in Japan, Haraki raised the ugly possibility that we may not be able to make any more 25oz denim.  The Mill is having a tough time justifying the wastage (even though we buy it back from them, it offends their sense of perfection).  Pressure was applied.  We are weaving as I type….HURRAH.....
