The Historic District

I found a neat art glass lamp shade and then realized it wasn't a lamp shade , Its a spittoon. I dont see a lot of spittoons around now, especially with corona virus. I guess some cowboys still chew tobacco, no one in this city does.

I see tons of free antique furniture, like big dining room tables and such. Im hesitant to go cutting them up because it feels destructive but for example Ive advertised a big table with mahogany veneer and Queen Anne legs, with the three leaves and a nice hand made lace cover a bunch of times. I th...

I had a lot of fitting to do to fol...

a small hand operated brake press would be handy for that sort of work but they take space so I don't own one. You might be able to design in ribs to give it strength. sometimes If I want to bend tin what I do is just clamp two pieces of angle iron together to trap the sheet, clamp a couple of metal...

so it ran fine for about a month and a half. Now the high end samsung has an error, it has all these error codes listed but this one isn't documented. it looks like "EE" but the top horizontal bar of the first E is missing and it isn't because that LED is burned out. I found a lot of technical info ...

watch as it goes metric and a 2x4 wont be 2" x 4" anymore
