    • RE: Do we have a Joke Thread goin here?

      Jack and Bill meet at the course for a round of golf and Jack brings his little mutt terrier with him. On the first tee, Jack blasts one down the fairway, straight and long, for a huge shot. The terrier, after witnessing this feat, begins running around in circles all excited and yelping like crazy.

      "Wow, your dog really knows how to comment on a great shot." says Bill.
      "Yeah, he does flips when I hit a bad shot."

      "Really! How many can he do?"
      "It all depends on how hard I kick him." [:o)

      ..........

      a blonde goes in to a appliance store and asks the sales clerk "how much is that TV?"

      the clerk says "sorry we dont sell to blondes"

      the next day she comes in with brown hair and asks the clerk "how much for that tv?"

      again the cleark says "sorry we dont sell to blondes"

      she comes in this time with red hair asking about the same Tv

      yet again the clerk says "sorry we dont sell to blondes"

      in a huff the blonde begins to yell and scream "how can you even tell i am a blonde?

      the clerk responds "cause its a microwave

      A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey. He orders a drink and while he's drinking, the monkey starts jumping all over the place. The monkey grabs some olives off the bar and eats them, then grabs some sliced limes and eats them,then jumps up on the pool table, grabs the cue ball, sticks it in his mouth and swallows it whole.

      The bartender screams at the guy, "Did you see what your monkey just did?" The guy says, "No, what?" "He just ate the cue ball off my pool table - whole!" says the bartender. "Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replies the patron. "He eats everything in sight, the little twerp. I'll pay for the cue ball and stuff." He finishes his drink, pays his bill, and leaves. Two weeks later he's in the bar again, and he has his monkey with him. He orders a drink and the monkey starts running around the bar again.

      While the man is drinking, the monkey finds a maraschino cherry on the bar. He grabs it, sticks it up his butt, pulls it out, and eats it. The bartender is disgusted. "Did you see what your monkey did now?" "Now what?" asks the patron. "Well, he stuck a maraschino cherry up his butt, then pulled it out and ate it!" says the barkeeper.

      "Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replies the patron. "He still eats everything in sight, but ever since he ate that damn cue ball he measures everything first!"

      Little Johnny:

      One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs to her class. She came to the part of the story where the first pig was trying to accumulate the building materials for his home. She read, "...and so the pig went up to the man with the wheel barrow full of straw and said, "Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build my house?"

      The teacher paused then asked the class, "And what do you think that man said?" Little JOHNNY raised his hand and said, "Holy Shi!! A talking pig!'"

      HAVE YOU EVER BEEN GUILTY OF LOOKING AT OTHERS YOUR OWN AGE AND THINKING, SURELY I CAN'T LOOK THAT OLD? WE'LL YOU'LL LOVE THIS ONE.

      "MY NAME IS ALICE SMITH AND I WAS SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH A NEW DENTIST. I NOTICED HIS DDS DIPLOMA, WHICH BORE HIS FULL NAME.

      SUDDENLY I REMEMBERED A TALL, HANDSOME, DARK-HAIRED BOY WITH THE SAME NAME HAD BEEN IN MY HIGH SCHOOL CLASS SOME 40-ODD YEARS AGO. COULD HE BE THE SAME GUY THAT I HAD A SECRET CRUSH ON, WAY BACK THEN?

      UPON SEEING HIM, HOWEVER, I QUICKLY DISCARDED ANY SUCH THOUGHT. THIS BALDING, GREY-HAIRED MAN WITH THE DEEPLY LINED FACE WAS WAY TOO OLD TO HAVE BEEN MY CLASSMATE.AFTER HE EXAMINED MY TEETH, I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD ATTENDED MORGAN PARK HIGH SCHOOL.

      'YES. YES, I DID. I'M A MUSTANG,'HE GLEAMED WITH PRIDE

      'WHEN DID YOU GRADUATE?' I ASKED.HE ANSWERED, 'IN 1965. WHY DO YOU ASK?

      ''YOU WERE IN MY CLASS!', I EXCLAIMED. HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY.

      THEN, THAT UGLY, OLD, BALD, WRINKLED, FAT A$$, GREY-HAIRED, DECREPIT, SON-OF-A-Beech ASKED;

      'WHAT DID YOU TEACH?'

    • RE: Do we have a Joke Thread goin here?

      A young guy from Montana moves to Seattle and goes to a big "everything under one roof" department store looking for a job.

      The Manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?" The kid says "Yeah. I was a salesman back in Montana "

      Well, the boss liked the kid and gave him the job.

      "You start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did."

      His first day on the job was rough, but he got through it.

      After the store was locked up, the boss came down. How many customers bought something from you today?

      The kid says "one".

      The boss says "Just one? Our salespeople average 20 to 30 customers a day. How much was the sale for?"

      The kid says "$101,237.65".

      The boss says "$101,237.65? What the heck did you sell?"

      The kid says, "First, I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium fishhook. Then I sold him a larger fishhook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast,so I told him he was going to need a boat, so we went down to the boat department and I sold him a twin engine Cruise Craft. Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that 4x4 Expedition."

      The boss said "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a
      BOAT and a TRUCK?"

      The kid said "No, the guy came in here to buy Tampons for his wife", and I said, "Dude, your weekend's shot. You should go fishing!"

      Thanks for going to the trouble Sean. Boy that bridge has some nice strong beams! Did you use redwood, or wr cedar for the laminations?

      I'll be looking foreword to seeing how you built that bridge Sean. I'm especially interested in why you used that stepped scarf joint on the side facia/beam? Was that for looks only?? Very nice detail πŸ™‚

    • RE: Shade Cover over Spa

      ok, so it's only been three months since I posted this little project!

      the bamboo finally arrived from China, big delay due to the earthquake, and we got it up today. Gave us some much appreciated shade on a very hot day!
      http://woodsshop.com/DESIGNS/Spa/Spa-Shade_Cover.htm

      Pretty nice how I was able to design a structure around two 6' x 14' rolls of bamboo, and have it come out so nice and proportional.

      Maybe not the best, and not quite to scale but might do in a pinch?

    • RE: Curved Pavilion

      yep, they used a 1/2" cutting bit, and cut almost all the way thru in a couple of passes slow speed, then we brought them all back to the shop and hand routed the final pass to free the pieces.

      I was worried about the stock moving/warping after having such big curves cut out, but the old growth vertical grain stock didn't move a bit.

      nope haven't tried waterjetting yet, I'm pretty happy with the CNC work.

    • RE: Curved Pavilion

      Aw heck, I didn't build this one, I created the Plans on request, here it is at the top of my Pavilion Plans Page http://woodsshop.com/PavillonPlans.htm

      It was built in Wisconsin, and I'm all the way down in San Diego.

      Talk about going together like a jigsaw puzzle- I finally had some CNC work done (I've been looking into having this done for quite awhile now) to cut all the pieces for a 12' x 12' curved roof azumaya kit we recently shipped up to Colorado. http://woodsshop.com/Gazebo_Kits/12x12Curved/Build.htm

      Very neat seeing this done, and all the pieces were cut perfectly πŸ™‚ don't know how much time it saved but quite alot!
