I'm going to create the channel this weekend.

You can then curate, add/delete the videos you want on the channel.

Note: Keep the videos in there that you want in there regardless of whether it's Stang or woodworking.

Thanks!

Its currently 19° here, I dont see how people in the northern climates exist and go outside to do stuff. All I can say is this is the perfect time to have run out of parts for a bit, this is for the birds. I'll be in the wood shop where its insulated for a while.

I rather liked it.

I mean... I've lived in the north too and I'm not a fan. We got about 6 inches here but it'll be mostly gone in a week.

So, short winters FTMW!

It can visit then go away.

Your work space is insulated and heated, or your projects wait until spring. Hence my winters being extremely boring. Spent the first half of my life in and around DFW, and still hate going outside in the winter here in Iowa. Hoping to have my barn insulated and heated by next fall to help my seasonal depression.

MANNN I have a couple things to knock out but VERY soon Ill be dragging everything out of the front half of the shop and finishing out the upper walls and ceiling and insulating the attic space. The woodshop, even with no working HVAC was a very stable 50° this week while the front was balls cold. Finishing out the front hasnt been a priority until very recently.

This is seasonal depression for me. Your face hurts when you go outside. Today's forecast, going to below zero in the wee hours tomorrow.

Well this ended up being a pretty creative scam on FB. Something felt off, did some googling and a address came up with a different phone number. Called it and the guy said "yeah we get a few calls. Its a scam." The phone number being associated with Amarillo but the ad was in the North East US somewhere was what tipped me off.

The days of buying used parts online are dead.

Part of me wants to mess with the scammer and see how far I can drag it. What should I do?
