The thing to remember is that “y’all” is a word from below the Mason-Dixon Line, & that automatically gives it an uneducated connotation. No one thinks a group of Rhodes Scholars is being addressed as “y’all”. It conjures a vision of sleeveless shirts, inbreeding, & cars parked on a front lawn.

For all the YouTubers preaching the crosscut sled & 5 cut method, the sled I actually use the most, & get perfectly square cuts from, is the simple panel sled like Norm’s version from New Yankee Workshop. I made another one today w/ my worst quality plywood as an ode to Norm, the OG. #woodworking

2) Introduce cultural standards to meals, like adding olive oil to the standard table items for meals. This both integrates the standard, and also gives you an opening to bring up how cultured you are when others are at your home.

Sometimes, I just want to show people my wood. You’re seeing 2 drawer bottoms (widest pieces), and the rest are side and back panels. Walnut with Rubio Monocoat (linseed oil and hardwax product).
