Yea, I could tell they were definitely spread hundreds of miles apart. Still neat though to see a mountain range from that view.

Look at the quality of that hand stitching, especially the grommets. as good or better than any machine can do.
Building a new co-generation plant for the Harrison Radiator Division of General Motors, circa 1991. That's me holding up the hammer, giving a hug to Tony Fiocco, a heck of an old time Italiano that taught me quite a bit. I was 26 and Tony was in his early 60's. Everything we worked with was heavy as shit and always covered in form oil. Good times.
Definitely looks like good times!! I can already tell I would have had blast working with this crew even though our trades always had fun beef lol

Love those then and now pics.
Outside right now in Missouri.
Random Shit...finished this one today. My biggest end grain yet...too much damn work. LOL!
I cut some bigger sticks into smaller sticks like this. Let them glue up overnight.
Then took those sticks and cut the ends off all fresh and square. Used my new Jet 16/32 drum sander...LOVE! Sanded it down to 80 grit. Then cut them into 1.5" so I could flip them 90 degrees and face the end grain up. Then rotated every other one 180.
Then glued them back up...
Then after 24 hours I cut the side flush, trimmed the edges flush and sanded and sanded and sanded. Beveled the edges, branded it, put on some rubber feet and applied food safe mineral oil. Then put it in my kitchen cause I'm keeping this one.

That came out AWESOME, Shane. Nice workmanship! What are you using it for? Looks too large for a cutting board. And too small for a table top. So now my curiosity is bouncing high.
Thanks! I’m definitely enjoying making them! Every kitchen needs two cutting boards, one large like this and one smaller one. I use the smaller one 90% of the time. Lighter and easier to move around. I bought two from a friend for 250 bucks like 8 years ago. IMO mine are now better than his. I made this one a week ago from scraps and absolutely love it. It’s so smooth it’s like glass and feels more like a domino than wood.
Have you considered routing out a channel around the edge of the board on the cutting surface to trap juices instead of having them pour off the side? Not really necessary on "small" ones though.
I'm entering the market for a big end grain cutting board (quasi-butcher block) for slicing up meats off the smoker
I’ve yet to make one with juice grooves but would personally never own one. I’ve never cut anything so juicy to leak that much. It’s a simple process but a jig would be ideal for repeatability. On the bucket list to do though.
Some northern lights pictures from last night.

They said it could be seen from where I live in southern New England which is very rare but it was cloudy last night.
Know for sure it went as far south as NC. Heard it could reach as far south as Alabama prior to the solar storm
