If you keep pushing, eventually things start to push back. It didn't happen over night and it can't be fixed overnight, but my back has been screaming at me for years.

Do big projects always require big timelines or am I just overthinking things?

Money can buy you time, time can save you money. You can have both, if you want to spend a lot of time wasting money.

You shouldn't be afraid to push those tools to the limit, ride them hard and make them work for you. If it breaks, it's not a good tool. If it bends, let it be to your will. Don't treat these like precious little keepsakes, deserving of a place on your mantel. Work then out like the good dog that sits quietly at your feet after a long day. A good tool gets the job done, a great tool gets the job done with a slipping gear, chipped tooth and missing accessories.
This planer is a workhorse and you'll notice, most wood workers swear by it, and for good reason. The most fight I've gotten from this was in the middle of a winter freeze when I tried to push 10" hickory through it with cold rollers and a dry bed. I just got it and didn't know how to operate it properly. You can ride the horse hard, but if you don't feed, water and rest it properly, it will break. Anyways, I threw the breaker a few times and did burnouts on my hickory with the rollers. I took a step back and researched. I learned that having the DW735 and my dust collector on the same breaker was a bad idea, I moved one. Then I learned, you need to wax the bed. In cold weather, you need to warm the rollers so they aren't hard and slick.
What tool do you run hard?

Here I am, filming in my garage, when the neighbors decide to start lawn work with the loudest leaf blower ever made. I can't prove it, but I'm fairly certain it wouldn't pass an emissions test. Seriously, don't they know I'm filming something important here? Some people have no awareness of others, like they are the center of the world and everyone else is orbiting around them. Anyways, I should get back to filming my latest.

It's getting hot out there, or it will be soon depending on where you live. This is your friendly reminder to wash your hat. Put a hook in your shower, wash it with mild soap and water when you take care of the other parts, then hang it to dry over night, I know you have extras. Let's play a game, how many hats do you have? How many do you rotate through on a regular basis? Do you have a favorite?
My dad had boxes of hats, dozens for the company, and dozens more from each vendor. Not to mention all the spots and fan hats. He loved a good hat, anyone who knew him, knew this. They'd show their appreciation for him with hats. Cleaning out his house, we would find hats that went back, 30 or 40 years. Hats celebrating events long gone by, but still remembered through a capellophile collection.

There are no rules.
The audio is for those that break the social rules
The captions are for those that follow the rules
The description is for all you freaks that like to dive a little deeper into the twisted minds of us creators. Or want to read something the AI thought would make a good description. Unless you read my descriptions, I write them all in the moment and at this moment I'm feeling a little chatty. Don't let the algorithm dictate your tastes, rage against the machine, seek out new and different content. If you see a creator publishing the same stuff year after year, unfollow, even if it's me. That's just telling uncle creepy at Meta you want to see more of some guys backyard bar without any real substance or iteration. When the creators get lazy, and the consumer stops caring, the system gets stagnant. Knock off the rust, kick it into gear and engage with the content you want to see, not just the stuff it pushes on you. And when you see something truly unique, share it with everyone you know, even if it's just five people and that weird guy Stan, from accounts payable. He may be awkward, but did you know he spent his early 20s as a bartender in Spain?

What did I do back in 2016?
I invested in my family. Started with a foundation repair on our family home, that left a few holes in key places, like the one under our front door. After that hole was filled with fresh (unmatched) concrete, I put down some travertine tile and this fancy medallion we found at the home center.
Then, the tiles the previous owner covered the laminate countertops with, just before they sold us the house, started to pop off. So, we renovated the kitchen, pulling everything down to bare cabinets and floors, and even taking out a few of those cabinets. Then lots of cleaning, scrubbing and prepping for fresh paint, new tile backsplash, a porcelain farmhouse sink, new countertops and a fresh wrap around wainscoting on the small bar.
And if that wasn't enough, as soon as we made our first meal in that new kitchen, the soap dish and a few tiles popped off the wall in our master bath. So, yet again, the tools came out and I got to work, ripping out old tile and fixtures, then laying down new tile and fixtures in that tiny bathroom.
So, yeah, that's how I spent most of 2016. 2017 was it's own story, it started with a hernia surgery, but I'll save that for next years trend.
