Holy cow, this is not a good look! I am talking about Boeing offing their employees after they raise safety concerns. I am in military aviation and this is disgraceful! #grownostr #aviation #plebchain image

You need the best tools to be a great craftsman… The best tablesaw to be a woodworker and so on. This is a trap that will only drain your pocket book and keep you from finding your potential. The most important tool you need to express your creativity is your mind. This is your most important tool, not the one you buy from the hardware store. Your mind allows you too use a straight chisel to carve a round shape. So before you go out and spend way too much money on useless tools, develop your creativity. That is the mark of a true master! 👇Drop a comment below to share your insight into this.👇 #grownostr #diy #creativity #woodworking #metalworking image

Who knew that when you replaced a 20 year old miter saw blade... That it would cut much better! I admit that for the past 20 or so years I have used the same blade in my mitersaw. I have just replaced it with a new fine 80 tooth blade. CUTS LIKE BUTTER! Don't be like me... If your blade is burning the wood when you cut it! BUY A NEW BLADE... #grownostr #diy #woodworking #lessonslearned

Use a table saw? You need to make one of these... and don't buy one! It is a push stick to push wood thru the table saw blade, safely! Without the fingers getting close. Why do you need to make one? Glad you asked, it is because you are going to run the push stick thru the blade sometimes while ripping thin slivers of wood (just like in the picture). You don't want to a $20 push stick at the woodworking store just to end up cutting it and eventually needing to replace it. They are easy to make from scrap wood and will save your fingers! #woodworking #tablesaw #grownostr #diy

Thank you very much for the great response to my note that called for people to submit their shop questions the other day. I didn't know what to expect. The questions submitted were fantastic! I enjoyed answering them immensely and hope to make it a regular nostr thing. So... here is my first installment of workshop Q and A. Once again thank you to all that participated! #grownostr #asknostr #woodworking #metalworking #DIY
