Handy with tools? Need a weekend project? - RAMd®d - 04-04-2020
This guy builds a blade-less fan, in the Dyson concept, but it looks much nicer.
This was a fascinating video.
It's 28min long, but hey, you'e not going anywhere soon, are you?
He's got a whole channel, but this video is the first one I've seen.
I've wanted to get a Unimat lathe for some time, just so I could to little projects, much less involved than this! LOL
Alas, no room, and not enough disposable income for all my vices.

I've been married for more than 50 years.
My wife still thinks I like tools - I don't. If I liked tools that creaky door she complains about would have been either fixed or pulped long ago. Turns out we brought in a guy who replaced it and it eventually got sent to door heaven, pulped or recycled to a home with a wife who thinks that door ought to be fixed - we don't really know where it went, we only know it allowed her to focus on the sag in the creaky floor that I don't care in the least about.
Thing is: if I fix that sag in the floor there are stairs, an attic and basement to follow so I think I'll leave all that to the next guy up. One of the perks of growing old is leaving the undone stuff for another day.

RgrF, thanks for that. I haven't laughed like that in a few weeks.

I saw where people are building little picnic tables for squirrels.

Our governor is an idiot.

If only I could convince the wife to let me buy $10K+ of wood-working tools...
