@pgl Unleashed?
@pgl Unloosed?

@pgl [un|de]throttled? I don’t think they are words but they suggest the undoing of being throttled and throttled suggest imposed limits?

Good question.

Rival dads hate him (ie. me). #rc #lawnmower

@brainwagon I don't think of it as "movement" in the typical use of the word when it comes to wood furniture, but it's definitely moving :) I've read that this is why folks will roughly size their pieces, leaving them a bit long in all directions, as the removal of material can change the stresses in the wood and cause them to move. Exactly what you're seeing. Quite a bit of movement on that top piece, but considering the rings and type of wood maybe not surprising? Annoying though!

@btrwkart I'm not sure I'm completely understanding the question, but assuming the chamfer is on the outside/top edge of each side of the box... if he says do the miter cuts and then glue the box together and THEN do the chamfers I could see that as then the top outside edges of the corners would definitely match up.

But if you're not gluing it up first, I can't think of a good reason you can't flip the order. Maybe it makes it a bit harder to mark the cut line for the miter?

New lathe stand implies the existence of a new dust collection system for the lathe. Works great! #woodworking #woodturning
@davidlsparks https://www.highlandwoodworking.com/fuller-hss-brad-point-bits.aspx has them. I second @davepolaschek though in getting a bulk pack of those small sizes. I bought this awhile back and have been happy with them. https://www.woodcraft.com/products/woodriver-100-piece-combo-brad-point-and-twist-drill-bit-box. Doesn't look like it has 5/64 in brad point though, but does in a lot of the others.
