Bored, huh?

Yep.

don't matter how it's spelt.......

he still took a picture of it.......

and here we go, many more to follow.

Yep.

Here's a practice joint.





No nails or screws.

Them oak dowels are 2" deep. All joined surfaces were coated with Titebond III glue. I even coated the insides of the dowel holes using a Q-tip.

I clamped & glued the miter faces first, waited 3 hours and then drilled it for the dowels.

That way everything is perfectly aligned and there are no conflicting stresses anywhere in the joint. So when stress is applied, the stress will be uniform throughout the joint.

I figure this joint is stronger than the wood it's joining.

I try to avoid it. It's easier to play dumb when you're method acting.

You guys roll your joints all wrong.

Is blueford not getting any love lately?

Is blueford not getting any love lately?

It has two flat tires.

It's junk. I'll give you 9 dollars for it.

The tires on that truck predate the DOT numbers that tell you how old they are.

They don't grip worth a damn in the rain, and I've never driven it in snow.

I added it to keep rabbits out.

Abusive. I'm calling FPS (Ford Protective Services) on you.

Good thinking, Those wrascally wabbits. Just wait for Duck season.

I had a 67 F100 the same color. 3 in the tree with 6 in a row to make it go, which I eventually changed out with a 289. Was a good truck…..

This is a 77.

Also 3 on the tree with 6 in a row to make it go, but it's a 300. If you pulled yours out to pop in a 289, then I'm assuming your six was a 240?

I read some article a while back that said the 3 most bulletproof American made engines ever built were the Ford 300, the Dodge 225 slant six, and the Jeep 4 liter straight 6.

My first truck had a slant 6 and it was indestructible. No balls, but it took a beating & never blew up.

None of those engines have enough power for the driver to hurt it.

Oh yeah? I was 17 years old. It was not uncommon for that engine to redline.
