The post whore thread.

Kid wanted to try on a pack. He seemed very excited. Wonder how excited he'd be at mile 10 and 50lbs which seem to get heavier with every step... lol

That's cool, Cav.

Looks like he's ready for the 14er's.

Holding wood in my hand chisel skipped out. Total first day mistake, and I totally knew better. The chisel is 3x as long as shown in the photo.

Ouch...and I think you'll remember that. I have certainly suffered some mistake injuries because I was in a hurry to get something done, or I thought a quick short cut on safety would probably work out just fine for me.

Heal up fast bro.

Irv, get a dang wood vise for your shop bench. After my incident I reslized that the more expensive items are sctually cheaper and less painfull.
Btw, the fun starts after you heal and the internal scar tissue needs to let go. Feeling a rip inside your hand is a unique experiance....

Eh, I've got a vise, and more clamps than I know what to do with. I was just being lazy.

And now you have time to remain lazy.

I have found this is biggest problem with DYI and I have been guilty of it my whole life.

Not laziness, over confidence and lack of experience. If you had spent 3 years as pro wood worker you would have known better and we would be calling you dumbass.

We have an old saying in our family.
