Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


I see the pattern. It takes the eye too long to notice it and the room is to small for that pattern IMO

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


I like that pattern, but I agree with brock. I think it's too small of a room for it. If it was a bigger area, it would be easier to see the pattern.

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


Did the client like it??

Did you get paid???

Then it looks fantastic!!!!

I saw the pattern right away. I thought it looked good. And don't think it needs a bigger room to pull it off.

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


Because it made me laugh. That's why.


And you also find out interesting things when you have sons, like...
1.) A king size water bed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep.

2! .) If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.

3.) A 3-year old Boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

4.) If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound Boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 ft. room.

5.) You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.

6.) The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.

7.) When you hear the toilet flush and the words 'uh oh', it's already too late.

8.) Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.

9.) A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36- year old Man says they can only do it in the movies.

10.) Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old Boy.

11.) Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.

12.) Super glue is forever.

13.) No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.

14.) Pool filters do not like Jell-O.

15.) VCR's do not eject 'PB & J' sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.

16.) Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.

17.) Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.

18.) You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.

19.) Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.

20.) The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5-minute response time.

21.) The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.

22.) It will, however, make cats dizzy.

23.) Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

24.) 80% of Women will pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without kids.

25.) 80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid

Its funny thats very true.

Been there done that years ago in my dumber days. Except to get a real bang out of it, get a 12oz glass MD bottle with plastic cap (it only worked with the plastic cap not metal one). Make damn sure the bottle is dry and add about 2oz of granulated pool chlorine then carefully add about a tbl spoon of brake fluid and you have between 5 and 10 seconds (depending on temp) to get the top on tight and throw it. Nice hand granade glass shrapnel everywhere and loud bang.

Dont try this at home kids
dont think they make those bottles anymore anyway.

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


I made an interesting railing. Hard maple railings and wrought iron balusters.
I also made some railings for the stairs. They are having the whole house
tiled and we were both working on the stairs while I was installing this.
I used my square chisel mortise, 1/2", to punch the holes for the balusters.
They claim to be 1/2", but are really 0.465". I used small wedges to stabilize
the balusters, worked great. Here is a picture, I used a flash and it had bad
shadows, I took the liberty to photo edit them out of the picture.

Whilst "setting right what damage the Construction Crews had done", I was nearly struck by some Aluminum Channel that some IDIOT decided to drop through a 3 inch hole in the floor above the AT&T "Clean Room" as an "Express Route" of disposal.

This sort of Construction Conduct is S.O.P. in N.Y.C............EVERYDAY!
