How many attempts at babymaking would that survive?

How many attempts at babymaking would that survive?

I overbuild everything, so... many. One day I'll focus on making stuff look nice, but today is not that day.

Zero. This is the guy that put his girlfriend in an enclosure.

Only until she learned to behave.

You must love watching her cry and beg

My ex-managing director was like that. He liked shouting at the female employees and then watching them sob uncontrollably. And he loved beautiful women. I guess watching a beautiful woman mess up her face was his kink or something.

Mobile table saw table saw some action today after I put it together. Lines up with the big outfeed/general use table, but it can be removed when I'm not using it. Got some threaded inserts so I can have mounting points for my drill press and vices, but remove them when I need the space.

Other than putting together the big shelves I bought and getting everything cleaned up, I think I have all the furniture I need in the garage done.

Tried making methyl salicylate (wintergreen oil) from salicylic acid and methanol. I made some, but it's super water sensitive and I think my sulfuric acid was just too impure. When there's too much water, the reaction goes back the other way, so I ended up with a bunch of super-fine salicylic acid powder. I do have some oil, I can smell it, but not much. These two shots are from just after the reaction and then when I was washing the product out. Looks neat and was still fun if nothing else.

Interesting that it's pink. That explains some products I've noticed, but never gave much thought to.
