    Got me thinking what @jodi’s “woman on horse” portrait would have looked like had she been under the influence.

        WarGames: The Dead Code

        Released straight to VHS in 2008, this is a worthy sequel to the original WarGames (1993) movie.

          The sad thing is that any of those drawings were better than what I could do even not on any drug. 5555

                    That's a great technique for when you want to turn a huge stone into two slightly less huge stones whose size adds up to the size of the huge stone.

                    Education is extremely important.

                          @axtremus Japanes joinery is an amazing art - one for which I never had the patience.

                          The Japanese approach to cutting tools is different from Western tools. For example, most Japanese saws cut on the pull stroke, rather than the push stroke. This allows the blade to be thinner, wasting less wood, and allowing less force (therefore more accuracy) to be used.

                          Chisels have a hollow back. You can see that when he's chiseling the walnut at about 4:30. The hollow back allows the use of metals that can be much sharper. Just listen to that chisel cut across the grain...

                          "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                            I wonder, in general, what the purpose of these “wood only” joint techniques is, compared to modern connections using metal in some way. Is it only good looks? Tradition? Or do they actually have mechanical advantages?

                              Excellent question.

                              I used to take pride in the fact that I could join two pieces of wood with nothing other than joinery and glue. From a "philosophical" perspective, using screws, etc always seemed to be a "cop-out" to me.

                              I outgrew that.

                              I have many, many pieces of furniture that I've built with no metal or screws. In the long run, is it "better"? I don't know. Will it last longer? Perhaps.

                              The desk I'm sitting at right now has no metal joinery. The only pieces of metal in it are the drawer slides and the screws to hold the drawer handles. I'm very proud of it (you've seen it), but is it "better" because of my efforts?

                                  I can imagine that pure wood connections are less prone to making noise than screws etc. Maybe they are also more robust against shrinking/expanding of the wood due to humidity changes?
