A variety of mouth shapes would makes the characters more dynamic. It really does look like they're always yelling.

Here's my weed patch - bird's foot trefoil and crown vetch. I mow as infrequently as possible so this kind of stuff crops up and I leave it alone. Bees love it and it looks great (to me anyway).

The term wet shaving is an odd one. In my opinion we should call it Classic Shaving.

I have a can of Barbosol for the kids and have tried it for DE shaving - it works fine because I keep my skin wet.

Thank you! I've made lots of furniture for the house from some things like this to a six chairs dining set and built-ins.

Even in the 80s it would have been a humorously dated reference to gangster movies. And you'd use it with a hammed-up accent, saying it like "coitans"

I have the next model up (400 Pro) so mine will likely accept larger diameter branches. But with that said one needs to learn the machine's limits in terms of both diameter and wetness.

Before I chip up a pile of branches I'll go through with a swede saw and lop off any parts that are too big. That'll let me breeze through the pile without fighting the machine too much. Also cut apart any wide crotches that won't feed through on their own.

Great point. The drawer width was taken on a story stick, not numerically. I first made I side spacer blocks and then made a sandwich on the old shelf with a spacer block and a 1" block (each slide takes up 1/2") and then marked off the gap on a stick.

Observant folks might notice that I made the drawers sideways. Normally the rabbeted piece is on the side to use the mechanical advantage of the joint. But then measuring the length of the front/back pieces also involves the joint. I wanted make this task as easy as possible so I used the full length, rabbeted pieces on the front & back.

The referenced work is RTL presumably because it's Japanese

Thanks for posting that, I didn't understand the reference.
