Lobo !...heya bro.
Legs feel okay, as long as they don't touch each other. I've had a lot to drink though.
Bench looks like dick. Wouldn't have looked much better if I was sober though, considering the wood I used. The last two boards took me two hours to put on because I was drinking. I ruined like 7-8 Phillips head bits in a row before I realized that my pilot holes were not large enough (even though MOST of the other screws had no problems). Hillman brand pocket screws suck balls. Broke four of them in the bench. Had to turn my drill way down to avoid it, and I've NEVER had to do that before, with ANY screw.

Here is the appropriate distance at which to observe the bench and still think it looks okay.

Closer. Despite all the wood in my attic, I didn't have any pieces for the bench top that were at least 60" long, so I had to cut four different pieces down to 30" and just split the difference. The gap in the middle was bigger than I intended, but I was limited on resources.

Intended spot and purpose. You can see the wood pile and general mess in the background of the previous picture. This one is 5' long and holds most of my wood pile. I plan to build two more of the same length for more seating and more wood storage. Kind of kicking myself for not thinking of this sooner, as I was thinking I would just find another place in the yard to put the wood.

Don't look that bad bro!
Just wanted to stop by and say YO HO's!
Nice job, Irving.. :D
Reminds me of Red Green a little bit.. ;)
Holy shit !....it's brother Mazin.
Irving, just use regular bugle head screws, watch, they drive a little deeper.
How it be OBC?
(Tips hat to Hotherin Brutal and Lobo)
How you doin Lobo!!!
I'm livin' the dream, Mazin. I hope you are too !!
Nightmare I think, it's defiantly not a wet one [Coffee]
Admiring the Bobness. [Beer]
My work schedule just went from "this crap sucks" to " when's retirement again?". Probably won't have a weekend off this month and a whole bunch of shift jumping to boot. How the hell are you doing bro, you still up in da hood?
Btw I now have proof I have went shooting at least once this year [Coffee]
Dammit my puter just went full retard slow....again. Time to go to bed anyways, the weekend is officially over for this cat. I might try to live vicariously through GG ..his weekend just started!!
Nice to see all you guys ......goodnight and hope we all have a decent week.
You too OBC! I have to hit the sack too, 0515 is a biatch.
Thanks guys. I'm sure if I sanded it and stained it all one color it would look fine and get 10 million likes on Pinterest for being "re-purposed."
I had two RHEL5 servers in a data center last week on full retard for 2.5 days. I was one with the suck. I HAD to get these things going OR ELSE and it was right down to the wire. Damn shitty IBM Tivoli software installs kept blowing up.
Then we get this >< close to finish setting up the SAN encryption the servers were for and figure out something is not working because the guy driving was doing some stuff on one server, and some stuff on 'tother. Ran out of time so now I have to finish up on Monday when I'm already booked for a client DR test for Mon-Wed.
Grrrrr.....
Most of you guys are lucky that 'puters ain't your livelihood.
Hey Hos, miss me?! [Tooth]
Anyone want to give me some feedback in my thread regarding a Pelican 1740 case for 4 rifles and 4 pistols? I added some pictures from solidworks with the firearms in place showing the overall layout.
Thanks!

My wife packed them up already. She said I never wear them anyways, so why should we leave them out [LOL]
Awesome, thanks! I'm starting to feel like its a finalized design, at least about 95% of the way there. It's all right angle straight cuts, so it should be relatively easy to cut out the foam. And since its closed cell polyethylene foam, it's much more rigid and I can just poke it with a knife.
You guys that know shit about puters want to forget about it off the job...as much as a mechanic does off the job.
You know the electricians porch light hasn't worked in a few years, right?
Howdy ho's.... Good to see ya BC !
You don't still have her number do ya?
lol.
Kid came over tonight and helped me move the last of the rock...and then we played some pool. He looked me in the face and said he wanted to learn how to play better...we started working on some stuff. I'll get him there....pool shark junior, I hope he doesn't want to do that, but it's up to him I guess.
Had a decent work day, be nice if the whole week goes that way.
G'night ho's....4:55 am alarm is pita.
