It's quite clear that Ikea has caused you some very serious and lasting psychological damage. Can you show me on this doll where Ikea touched you?

I really like oil-based wipe-on poly as well. Layering on the coats is so easy: wipe on a layer, wait an hour for it to stop being tacky, wipe on another layer, wait an hour for it to stop being tacky, wipe on another layer...no need to wait for each coat to cure, sand between coats, etc.. If I'm going with a satin…

I have 2 kids, and my little family of 4 is perfectly comfortable in our small-ish SUV (BMW X3)...but when my parents or in-laws visit, I do wish we had the space for everyone to pile in together.

I came here to say this very thing. I've had pizza for lunch, then we've taken the kids out for pizza for dinner; if I mention it to my wife, she gets all apologetic, and I have to reassure her that it's not an issue...usually it's the case that the pizza I had for lunch was a different type, but even if it wasn't,…

This method is actually pretty common in India

Wow...I think the foundation of our disagreement is that you're woodworking on a much higher level than I am. You're using professional-grade stuff and have a cabinet shop, while I'm working solely with sub-$500 tools and had to google "cove cut" (I had no idea I could do that with my table saw...sweet!).

I like the mesh, but would need to see it up close. As it stands now, I could see myself wearing either the stainless or one of the black straps.

No kidding...7 separate posts raging at people who hate the colorful rubber straps. That's determination.

If there's a version that looks nice, I'd get one instead of whatever ends up replacing the recalled FitBit Force, which is what I've been holding out for. But yeah, I have no plans of strapping an old iPod nano to my wrist with a strip of Teletubbie pelt.

The problem with track saws is the price; the Festool TS55 goes for $600-650, the TS75 goes for $700-750. Even the DeWalt DWS520 starts at around $400 (and doesn't even come with a track, that's $100 more)!

Some of us use our vacation time to travel to where parents & relatives live, so they can see their grand kids & whatnot. That's not an "optional" thing that can be deferred a year.

Yeah, I wish I'd thought that through...right now I have a DeWalt 14v NiCad, a tiny old Dremel NiCad, DeWalt 20v Li-ion, and Milwaukee 12v Li-ion, each with its own charger.

I LOVE my oscillating multi-tool. I picked up a Milwaukee 12v li-ion cordless one from Home Depot a couple years ago, then they had a "buy a multi-tool, get a free battery, charger, and drill/driver" deal.

Based on the steel torque adjustment ring, that looks like a Makita 1/2" 18V Li-ion cordless...the thing looks pretty solid, and plenty powerful for a bigass hole saw:

"How awesome is it going to feel..." is the primary factor in keeping me marching forward with the combination basement-finish/cabinet-making/plumbing project I've gotten myself into. I'm constantly tempted to farm out the more tedious tasks (sanding/finishing), but I feel like that'll take away my ability to…

Huh...I may have been looking at an older model of the OEM center console, it had dual cupholders awkwardly placed right where you'd rest your elbow.

Cupholders are included in the optional, aftermarket, subpar center console. Saleen appears to have done a much better job with it.

Funny, I live in Chicago and I've had cab drivers try taking me on the "scenic route" many times, unsuccessfully, fortunately. I've had cab drivers take me the long way in New York and Las Vegas. I don't see how that's racist.

Pipe on some mashed potatoes, tell your friends it's a pot pie-shepherd's pie hybrid.

This is the problem with these sorts of "philosophies": they're purely theoretical and only work on paper using hypothetical numbers ("Let's assume that your income is 100 and your expenses are 80"). As soon as you start replacing this CEO's variables with real income & expense numbers, cost of living differences,…
