I think you did a great job. Excellent grain match on the front

softer alder lumber, for your first table, to see which details needs
most attention and why.


Jeeze, how can you tell with those phone-sized (thumbnails) pics?
(I might agree if I could actually _see_ the table.)sigh
There are no picture-sizing controls on the page, either, and the View

Oh, bother!


Clearly "you" are "notImpressed".


Oh, I was not impressed, but I certainly wasn't notImpressed, LeOn.

But I'm a proud cynic, libertarian, believer in: abortion/2nd
Amendment/free markets/dust masks/eye&ear protection, disbeliever in:
Anthropogenic Global Warming (Kumbaya)/asbestos/lead/silicone/saw
scares, DEMs, etc!

Now, I know you'll instantly cry foul at that, so let me preempt some
of it. Nobody should eat lead, breathe sawdust/asbestos, etc, but the
scares are mostly UNfounded. 90% of the asbestos produced is of the
much safer variety and only those people who worked in the bad stuff
for years/decades, totally unprotected, are getting asbestosis (a
=very= nasty condition.)

Most of us played with mercury as kids and didn't die or sicken, but
it can kill. I followed the DDT truck every year (fogging around the
Base Lake) as a kid and later tested for a 132 IQ. Every single time
the computer models are updated, the global warming scare factor
diminishes another notch or two. No silicone breast implant deaths
occurred. And damage/uselessness from Democrats [large gov't, ACLU,
Wars on Poverty/Drugs/Terror (some started by REPs but usurped and/or
expanded by DEMs), healthcare initiatives which will bankrupt the
public (the portion which can't opt out) while filling the pockets of
the health insurers and doctors while not protecting much of anyone,
etc] are self-evident. (To be honest, Republicans don't fare much
better after BigGovShrub.) Lead ammo was never found to be the
culprit in high levels of lead in un-shot animals, et cetera, ad
nauseam. And it's truly a shame that a certain saw manufacturer took
the tack which priced his safety device -out-of- the-reach- of 90% of
the woodworking public when he could have been both a hero and made
millions off the ubiquitous use of the device.

I hope this doesn't tilt the thread slightly off track. titter
