justsomeguy,

I apologize up front for correcting, but shellac also melts into the previous coat as lacquer does.  That's why you don't have to sand between coats on either.  Other finishes like polyurethane do not meld into the previous coat.

Great Job BBB!  I watched the first and will watch the others at work during downtime.  I also subscribed to your channel.  Hope we can get together again soon.

Congratulations!  Bandsaws can be great fun.  It is very important to set it up correctly.  I strongly recommend looking on youtube for Alex Snodgrass's video on bandsaw setup.  It will save you hours of frustration.  Next, remember that most bandsaws come furnished with a very cheap blade.  Buy yourself a couple of quality blades intended for the purpose you will use them for and you won't regret it.  Now you can really make some sawdust.

Funny Russ,
I just checked my "junk" folder and I got the same message.  We will have to get together to help each other spend our boxes of money.

I would have expected the director of the FBI to have a better command of the English language Russ.

Looks delicious!  I used my grill also.  I cooked a commercially marinated pork loin in portobello mushroom and bacon, wrapped in aluminium foil over direct heat at 350 deg for an hour.  A family favorite!  Cooked over lump charcoal in a Big Green Egg.

If you suspect the drive is going bad, buy another drive, install it as a 2nd drive, and then get copying software to mirror image the original.  You'll save a bunch of bucks.

Hey BBB, now I can say I have seen one of your videos.  In fact it reminded me that I saw the one on the dog to.  The video was great and the project looks great to.  My wife objects to the Pooping anything ideas, so she might really like the bunny.

Looking forward to our next get together.

In my opinion, stay with what you have until you really need to upgrade.  XP will continue to function just as it has without further updates.  If your computer is really too slow, re-install the operating system and the software you really use and your pc will be as fast as the day you bought it.  When youo do decide to change, you will be changing to Windows 8 or 8.1, but you will probably also be changing to a 64 bit system instead of a 32.  Because of this, even if your old software works on the new pc, it won't work as well as the 64 bit editions.  I have computers running on both xp and 8.1.  It all depends on what you need to do with them.

I had a great time getting together with Russ and Bob!  The show just made it even better.  Besides I blamed all my purchases on them.  "Honey I was through buying but the showed me this and I just had to buy it."

It really was great spending our afternoon together!

Thanks for contacting me guys.

Nothing secret about my bbq recipes!  But they are good.  I use the cherry scraps from my woodshop as flavoring wood in my Big Green Egg.
