You are really embracing this WOC designation.  

Per our discussion at Jake's, there are millions and millions under the bell curve, but out there on the far far left end of the distribution, there is only one WOC  :D.

I would toast you, the WOC, with some of those good spirits that you and Andries so graciously gave me, but alas, it has departed this Earth.

with all the ideas for small stuff, there may be a firewood shortage just around the corner.   :)

Today the wizards crew at work. Tony and Anthony milling some cedar beams for a new building.

 Colleen runs the office,schedules the customer flow, tax stuff etc, and is busy from dawn to dusk.

 AJ is numbering some the thousands of boards in the NNRH project . This is part of a cedar zone that was certified two days ago in a "virtual committee" meeting via Google Meet.Lots of cooks in the kitchen!

 Sean and Evan are building shipping crates today. An indispensable team that can do anything ! 

 And finally the Wizard of Crap himself! Today I am making "brown" yet again. I started making brown crap over 2 years ago and it has evolved into a steady business of different custom shades of translucent brown. That's a lot of crap and a lot of brown! Thought you might enjoy a spin around the site today, December 2, 2020.

@WOC .......just checking to see if it would work. ;)

YellowHammer

VERY impressive.  

I agree, I think Tule's handle should be changed or at least given an alias to WOC.   :D
YellowHammerisms:

Take steps to save steps.

If it won't roll, its not a log; it's still a tree.  Sawmills cut logs, not trees.

Kiln drying wood: When the cookies are burned, they're burned, and you can't fix them.

Sawing is fun for the first couple million boards.

Last night AJ and Tony were moving a long end jointed countertop and they became concerned about flex stress on the joint. The joint itself is a large deep spline with a tight fit but I agreed that during handling later during installation the surface finish might hairline crack. Normally we would subset a plywood panel into the bottom for stiffness but routeing out the pocket takes time that we don't have. A quicker solution is to kerf the bottom , insert carbon fiber tow and wet it out with a little epoxy. I will check the results this morning. WOC

can we add WOC to the dictionary?  @Jeff  :) :) :)
where do you get the carbon fiber?

If you are in even more of a hurry you can use cyanoacrylate (super glue) in matrix with carbon fibers. Just use the good stuff

This tow came from
Fibre Glast Developments Corp.
  Several company's online sell various fibers, just watch for their sales.
 beav,,,spot on , another tool in the arsenal but it does not have much shelf life. That said I have lots of bottles of accelerate and matching "crusty" bottles of the glue. At the end of every workday I have the guys stop and do any epoxying necessary on any of the projects taking advantage of the night time to set. We never epoxy in the morning because of the lost time to set.In some joinery I will use a dot of cyano in the center surrounded by another glue like PUR, press the joint and walk away while the PUR expands and seals the deal. Cheers WOC

Carbon fiber buried in epoxy to bolster a wooden something. Just never considered it. Hope I'm not the only one.  ;) Today is not wasted, I learned something. 
Been schooled again by the WOC. :) :)

Sunday morning and I'm still doing "brown", now down to 2% increments. I've tried to explain to my clients on this job (there are 15 to whom I answer) that fine tuning a tinted finish, taking a photo of it and how it will be applied to different reclaimed boards is like apples and oranges. But still, it is an exercise I go through non-stop. The last photo is some of the sequenced wall panel, jammed up in the mouth of the shop waiting for the OK to start finishing.The building next door is starting to fill up. This building is jammed up and sometimes I get fed up; today being one of those times. LOL
