You certainly covered my main two food groups. Looks delicious!

It looks familiar, was it ever in Fine Woodworking by any chance? Awesome that you still have it. None of my early woodworking projects survived the fireplace.

Nice recovery, it looks very tasty.

Yes, it happened to me a couple of times this week.

Very cool project, I'm sure your friend was happy.

Yes, applying the first coat of finish is my favorite part. Thanks MacKenzie

Thanks Jon

I didn't have breakfast this morning and this isn't helping. They look delicious.

My first CNC was really small and the gantry was made out of hard plastic. I found I really needed the rigidity to do these inlays. The frustration is what caused me to go big and sturdy. The CNC is a blast to use and production power is empowering. I built quite a few cabinets for my house about a year ago and you could literally sit down at a computer with the basic dimensions of what you wanted to build and be cutting all the parts 10 minutes later. This was one of my favorite projects last year. The sculptured part was done on the CNC. It is 2 sided and took about 22 hours of solid carving. Everything is solid mahogany.

Those are REALLY nice machines. They also put out some nice software training videos that I have taken advantage of.

It's a CNC Routerparts machine. I researched them for a long time and although it requires assembly, it is built so much better than others in the price class. This thing is a tank.

Good looking steaks (and t-shirt)

Good thinking. I've been pacing myself since my early 20's, shouldn't be a problem.

Are you driving? I may not be able to wait that long

It's been a long winter so between the weather and a small injury woodworking, I haven't been able to finish up the trim on the kitchen. The first thing I need to finish is the backsplash so the electrician can finish up and I will have power everywhere. Here is the first tease: Things don't look quite right but I'm sure it will work out. This is the area that goes behind the bar. I'm putting a few of my favorites on the backsplash including this one. I still have to fill in the umbrella color and fill that cavity. He looks to be in some pain but not for long:

Getting closer to summer; my thoughts are turning to rum. An Old Cuban with Ron Zacapa 23.

That is so beautiful!

I'm still well stocked but happy to hear of the availability.

Absolutely gorgeous!

@MacKenzieThat's just lovely bacon!

@Flemming Cooked perfectly!

A little surf and turf on a nice night. Reverse seared black angus porter house with lobster tails, polenta fries, and mushrooms. Cruising at about 225 Getting some color over indirect coffee char. Lobster tails and polenta fries just about ready

The pork butt looks awesome Tony. Glad to hear you're thawing out a bit.

Nice looking meal!

It's also 5 o'clock somewhere
