  1. $8 to $11 here in Arizona. Snoop Dogg strikes again. I agree, pretty good wine.
  2. Start with Google, search Banksy. you'll see many articles about Banksy and his works. they give his birthplace, wifes name etc. they list art shows with his works and values. It isn't all google info. that's just a starting point. there are articles by the BBC, Britannica, of course wikipedia and many more. I think perhaps they stay away from some info because the unknown is one of the things that makes him so compelling. I have many favorites but one of my favs is the little girl performing CPR on a peace dove. I also like his gangster rats and monkey art.
  3. " I don't think the good MR.BANKSY, which is not his given name, is of this universe any more, he did a lot of heavy drugs, and I believe he changed his cosmic address". Not sure about this. He appears to be in his 50's, first name may be Robbie , married and not sure about the heavy drug usage. That part makes for a good story though. I've cut a lot of Banksy art and it appears he has still been around to do some trump related pieces so, I for one hope he is still with us.
  4. I got a message from Woodworkers Source, BB is available again. 60 x 60 x 1/4, $70.00 and free shipping in the US ground delivery. They will cut to size.
  5. I've never been happier scrolling now that I've decided it's about the out come, not the income. No more looking at patterns that I think might sell, and then spending countless hours cutting the same thing, over and over. Now I rarely cut a pattern more than once and I enjoy giving it all away.
  6. could be worse..I had a foreman who lost a crown on a front tooth and decided to CA it until he could get a dentist appointment. By the time he was done, he had successfully glued the crown back in but he had also glued his finger to it and the one next to it and they both came out in the end.
  7. In the past I used it for fretwork...lately I'm looking at my dwindling supply and using it as an investment.
  8. I save all those refrigerator magnets that are given with adds for anything from Tax Help to Ac/Furnace repair. When I need more support, I simply grab one, cut to my blade slot and have an instant zero insert. They work quite well for me.
  9. wax on wax off
  10. I have a streaming service for TV viewing and it has "The Bob Ross" channel! And from the lighter side, there is an MMA fighter with red hair just like B Ross and his nickname is the Violent Bob Ross. (That may be a bit like Jumbo Shrimp) luv oxymorons
  11. Really like the simplicity, sometimes less is more! lol
  12. Stevie Ray Vaughan used CA on his fingers
  13. I would add Keith Richards to that craggy look,
  14. I had an older saw that worked the same way. When the lever is up, you turn it to adjust tension and then you flip the lever down to lock it in.
