Gig 'em, Parrothead. Now there's three words I didn't think I would ever hear together.

one of my good friends at school, a fellow Aerospace Engineer student, Introduced me to the Buffett concert there at school, and the rest as they say is history.
 
A box of clamps and a garbage disposal, I wonder which one has priority. :sarcastic:

LOL.
He came after I gradidiated. The closest we came to parrotheadonism was Olivia Newton John. And when she sang she was singing her love to me - I know it in my heart!

Now the closest to parrotheadonism is several friends that have gone to many of his more recent concerts, but also a friend that is very likely going to develop one of those margaritaville hotels. Under negotiations now.

Tim, I’ve used the Robo Rest for years. Met Reed from the Oregon Woodturning Symposium. He is one of the good guys.

I've coveted the rest since I first saw it, and couldn't resist when it went on sale. So many different rests out there, but nearly all of them rely on a setup block to set the angle. That's fine, but I could care less about having an exact angle on tools. What I want is repeatability of angles that takes only a second or two to set/change. Now maybe I'll actually sharpen some of my tools a little more often!
 
Small order from the Woodcraft sale circular: cheese cutting board kits, ornament kits, and three pieces of Brazilian cherry. Prices were too good to be true.

You made me go buy 4 of the cheese slicers!! Can't beat the price specially with free shipping (I love Honey & Wikibuy)

@Wildthings

Just an FYI, I get my cheese slicer kits directly from Prodyne: http://www.prodyne.com/index.php/re...-cutting-wires-for-your-gourmet-cheese-slicer

They are $4 each, chrome or black. Shipping is really reasonable, I'll order 10-20 at a time and I think it's only like $10 for shipping. Kind of a PITA, you have to call them to order but a lot cheaper than buying them at Woodcraft.

I get ......what’s the right word, complacent or lazy, and shop the old regulars instead of asking or searching for new sources. They were on sale for $5 Is why I ordered a few.

I totally get it, I'm going to Woodcraft to pick a few up for now. I just wanted to let y'all know there's a much better option if you need them when they are not on sale. The regular price on them is stupid expensive.
 
Meant to post this yesterday. I got these today to go with the offset jig I got from @Bean_counter. Going to try to make some pendant/earring sets when I can get some Shop time.
