The Jabuticaba(Plinia cauliflora) is a fruit-bearing tree native to Minas Gerais and São Paulo states in southeastern Brazil. The tree is grown for its purplish-black, white-pulped fruits; they can be eaten raw or be used to make jellies and drinks (plain juice or wine). Other common names include Brazilian Grape Tree, Jaboticaba, Jabotica, Jabuticabeira, Guaperu, Guapuru, Hivapuru, Sabará and Ybapuru

8/365: Because of my outsourcing mini-rant from last night I received more disturbing news today. Jorgensen hand screw production is moving to China. Let me get this straight. China has no hard maple for the jaws, so we send them them the wood and they make and install the rod and draw nuts and ship it back to us for sale? Not to me. The Chinese design and develop many good and innovative products and I have no problem with that. But when an American company shuts their doors and ships production for the same product in the same market, so the CEO can now buy that jewel encrusted ivory back scratcher, that I have a problem with. This picture shows one of each size of Jorgensen handscrews I own, all purchased new. While they may not be new looking now, each one still operates as perfectly as the day it came into my shop.

This is platform bed frame design sustained me during my early years of woodworking. I made hundreds of them. I have not made one in 23 years but thought it would be a  practical, strong and accessible project to share on AskWoodMan.tv. This is beech with poplar slats. It breaks down with machine bolts for easy install and moving. Not one bit of giggle. After all these years of building I could not improve on this design. It was a trip down memory lane. I am going to make a rolling storage drawer and some side tables for it too. Full build videos to come.

I like the up-periscope on the devil dude.

Surface tension phenomenon is a contractive tendency of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force. It is revealed, for example, in the floating of some objects on the surface of water, even though they are denser than water, and in the ability of some insects (e.g. water striders) to run on the water surface. This property is caused by cohesion of similar molecules, and is responsible for many of the behaviors of liquids.

You may be cool. But you’ll never be “Rutger Hauer on a black horse with a sword and a hawk” cool.

Really gives you an idea of the magnitude of the destruction.
