He can come here. I'll provide the beer and agree with his politics.
Going to plane some rough cherry and see what it wants to be.

Mostly machine but some of it's cupped/warped pretty bad so I may plane an edge by hand. Have had to cut it in shorter pieces and work with that so it's usable.

Nice. If you're working with long or wide boards, try making a planer sled. I made one based off of this design from Fine Woodworking:
I had some cupped/warped 11"-wide spruce and 6"-wide cherry boards that I was able to flatten with my lunchbox planer pretty damn well. The sled is heavy, but it's one of those things you only need to use at the start of a project, and you just need to use it to get one face flat. I made mine long enough to handle ~80"-long boards, as I'm building some larger pieces.

I'm dying. I haven't done this much labor in awhile. Dug 8 fence post holes, and set them. Waiting for them to set, by tomorrow I should be able to run about 35' of fence wire. I'm so out of shape.

Thanks. That needs to be on my list. I harvested the cherry out of my Grands yard 20+ years ago but didn't have anywhere to stack it properly

Tragically, I'm a capitalist as well as a conservative infidel. There would be an honorarium involved.
We're in the US, not cambodia. Of course he's using a machine.
I'm a little jelly of you fellows that have shop space. All of my work is done on site with portable tools, and they're all stuffed into my garage when they're not on the job, leaving no room to work. I also don't get to do the things I want to do, just the stuff I'm paid to do.

I actually only have a 1-car garage. It's ~10' wide by 25' deep. I've got a heavy-duty dust collector, portable table saw, lunchbox planer, a workbench, shelving racks, a 24" snowblower, floor jack, 8-gal hotdog air compressor, and various other stuff. Even with my car in there, I still have enough space towards the rear with the workbench that I can do mostly anything. It's all about organization.
I see people in my neighborhood with two-car garages who can't even park their cars and I wonder WTF they're doing. I have a couple of neighbors with the same 1-car garage as me, and they don't even try parking their cars in it. It baffles me.
I have a two car garage with 3 tiers of shelving all the way around. I also have a row of 24" wide steel racks on one side, off set from the shelves 30". Every inch of the shelves and racks are full. On the floor I have two jackhammers, a generator, 3 air compressors, two portable table saws, two tile saws, a 12" miter saw on a portable bench, a full sized rolling tool chest, and a Harley. There are plastic totes full of joist hangers, electrical, and plumbing parts that come and go.
Space is the one thing I don't have, and the one thing I want the most. I'm at the point that when I think about buying a tool, I have to figure out where I'm going to put it first. On top of that, I'm about as organized as a hamster.

I scored some today.
We were going to run out in a few days. Still no H2O2. How many of the folks who decided to hoard H2O2 even know how to use it, I wonder. I suspect it's like me hoarding tampons.

I actually got some last weekend from aldi. They're 1k sheets, but wrapped in plastic. They changed suppliers a couple years ago, and it isn't my favorite, but I figured I should get some while I could. I got a 12 roll pack, so I should be good for the rest of the year. Went to wegmans today to pickup a couple things before mandatory masks hit tomorrow, and they didn't have toiletpaper at all. Feeling good about my decision to buy aldi paper.I scored some today.

you should watch A Streetcar Named Marge instead. Way more entertaining.
