AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:You live in Sebastopol, CA Chichevache posted:That's awesome! I've decided to start getting into woodworking lately. I'm carving a spoon! A cool aspect of woodworking is you can do some form of it regardless of how much workspace you have available. Small projects with hand tools can be done in a studio apartment at your kitchen table, if you have a little garage space you can have a few more tools and maybe a dedicated table to work at, scaling on up to a huge barn full of large table tools etc. I just finished reading Nick Offerman's newest book, Good Clean Fun: Misadventures in Sawdust at Offerman Woodshop where he says as much. Basically a year ago the local OSH was moving and had a blowout sale, so I picked up a router/router table combo thing for cheap. Made a little shelf, and started thinking more about woodworking. I've done some blacksmithing classes about ten years ago and have some metalworking tools, so my ultimate goal is to combine the disciplines and make furniture and stuff out of steel and wood. The goons in the woodworking thread have been very helpful. No Irish Need Imply posted:I'll always be a city boy but am insanely jealous of country boy hobbies. I'm a suburbs boy now, but not really by choice. But see above: you can buy a saw, a drill, and some sharp things and get to making little wood projects at a kitchen table. 186 posted:I can only make bird houses. Making bird houses is a noble and honorable passtime. And potentially profitable, too. Ric Offerman, Nick's dad, makes these:  He uses offcuts and scrap, basically, and sells them for over $120 each, and apparently has no trouble selling all his stock.

Like he's very jacked but the most annoying kind of chipper imaginable. I never talk to people at the gym so him coming over to shake my hand while I'm on a foam roller listening to podcasts is... not my favorite thing

I almost died doing the bench press once. For some reason ABBA's Dancing Queen came onto the gym radio and I started laughing and the bar came down on my neck. Why do they play that poo poo at gyms?

seiferguy posted:I went to LA Fitness for awhile. Pretty chill, and most weight racks were usually available. The only issue is about once every 6 months, one of the personal trainers would give me a free workout, then try to sell me on one of their personal training programs. Sorry, I'm not paying $150 a month for 5 half hour training sessions. Thanks for the workout, though! Yeah I go to LA Fitness. It's running/biking distance so I get a pre-workout heading to the gym in the warmer months. There's the occassional muscle-head ogre that has to show off in some way, but other than that, I just get in and get out. No fuss.

Leperflesh posted:I spent three hours driving to sebastopol and back in order to buy a used table saw tonight What's up my mans. I started woodworking a year ago -- took an intro to woodworking/metal working class at the local art museum. Learned how to weld and use all the shop tools. Most did small stuff for the past year, but bought my first big tool (DeWalt jobsite table saw) a week ago and am loving the world it's opening up to me. Took a picture framing class at Woodcraft a few weeks back and am starting to plan out the jig so I can start framing the posters and art I have.

Bad Moon posted:I work at a local community center gym and it's pretty nice and comparable to LA Fitness despite being a non profit. It's chill for a gym except The of occasional douche canoe who keeps dropping our weights trying to be cool Community center gym buddy! Mine is cool and good because it has most of the equipment I want and it's not hard to get my workout in most of the time. I went to a chain gym for two weeks free and hated it mostly because they wouldn't stop contacting me about joining.

If you have a router, a good set of router bits really opens up the possibilities for fancy framing. I haven't taken any classes - it's an option, but I think I'm gonna rely on youtube videos and farting around in my garage for a while and then see if I think a class will help.

Haha, my old LA Fitness had this jacked lady who had a big rear end that was all muscle. You'd break your hand if you tried to slap it. All the regular guys loved her.

Speaking of working out The Dumbbells is a great comedy podcast about working out. It's a great balance to Doughboys which is two guys reviewing Panda Express and Quiznos and poo poo

Probably Magic posted:Me, I'm just high... on life. Really makes you think, doesn't it. Life is a gateway drug The Marijuana tangent was quite fascinating. I knew people made different strains, but I always pictured it less scientific and more artistic with no real quantifiable data. I currently do not work out because my wife is mad that she barely sees me as it is and spending an extra hour a day going to the gym was too much. I hope to have my basement cleared out in the next few months to set up a small gym, but that would require me being home enough for my wife to not be mad at me.

I've been really lucky that all the gyms I've gone to have generally been well maintained and filled with polite, reasonable people. No funny stories about idiots almost killing themselves. Closest is seeing women standing up while using the hip abduction machine and turning it into a twerk trainer.

I haven't talked to my grandfather in over a year and didn't know him very well, and found out Sunday night he died from a massive heart attack/stroke. Get to know your relatives while you have them around, even if they're total misanthropes.
