Re: My brother and I making tables!!! Another one finished
Just thought I would share with you guys and gals. We are making tables Texas style. I've been learning to work the wire fed welder, I am good with regular stick, just now getting good with the wire feed type. So here's one we make custom ordered. Tell me what you think!!

SEE! Things like this are why we can't have nice things in the US anymore. TEXAS! The whole damn system is falling apart around us AND YOU'RE MAKING TABLES!?!

I swear I dunno why we didn't let Mexico have your country.rant
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10097155




Uhh.....what!??




This is actually one of the BEST posts I've seen on GLP yet.

This site is about conspiracy theories....and ultimately it is about people trying to find a harmonious way of living, while sifting out the bullshit that is all around us, isn't it???


So many people see the tip of the iceberg (just the beginning of the lies, deception, and deceit being fed to us) and instead of trying to digest it, learn more, and find a way to become stronger and more capable in this world....they instead try to bury their fear and feeling of helplessness is DOOM AND GLOOM.

The reason so many people on this site, and in the world are waiting each day for DOOM to come.....is because they feel helpless, insecure, angry, and unable to cope with what is all around us.

The truth is.....if you are going to let the TRUTH destroy you, instead of making you stronger......perhaps you never should have started on this journey.


Seeing someone on this site being productive, establishing himself in his own trade...ESPECIALLY an HONEST trade, with a FAMILY member.....well, that just made my day.


I also have my own business, with my father, and we work hard to make a living.



I hope more people on GLP are inspired by you, and instead of focusing on doom and gloom.....they use the stuff they learn from this web-site to instead make them more aware, more inquisitive, more cautious, but at the same time....strive to make a BETTER life for themselves.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 801546


You know, I actually took the time to read some of what you had to say. And I can honestly tell you from the bottom of my heart, that if this was a face to face chat I would I would you a couple of pats on the back....

That's pretty cool. Better carpentry then me. Measure once cut twice.

I'm reinstalling insulating windows into a house and it's pretty labor intensive. Cutting frames, trim, and working with the close tolerances of wood I know it's not easy.

Good work!

Honest labor and skill.

I echo your sentiment and applaud your post.

OP- Congratulations on your talent and skills, your work is beautiful and I wish you the best of luck! It is heartwarming to see other posters giving you their patronage and supporting your business. I love that you are partnering with your brother- It is certainly inspiring!

I recently left Corporate America and opened my own small business. I wanted to be a full-time mom and a part-time worker, not the other way around. Maybe I no longer have a fancy office and a great salary with amazing benefits, but I also don't have so much stress and the horrible guilty feeling when I constantly felt that I was either letting my boss down or my kids. Now I don't earn as much yet and I don't wear the fancy power suit but I'm much, much happier and so are my children. I no longer feel like I'm selling my soul to the devil or like my light is dimming from being locked up in a building for the majority of my waking hours, slaving away to make someone else rich. Fuck that.

Way to go, OP, may many, many blessings come your way. :)

 Quoting: Midnite_rider



Alright.. calm down cowboy. Maybe I got a little out of hand with my rant. It seems it didn't come out that way it was intended.

I've had a lot of stress on my shoulders lately. You know the economy, unemployment, stuff like that. It can really weigh down on a person.

I mean, I'll admit, it might be a cool table if that's what your into. But look at all that's going on around country atm. Do you honestly think it's a good idea for the OP to be posting pictures of a table that looks like he slapped together in h.s. wood shop. For the whole internet to see. Do you really think this is helping our situation any? No it is not helping one bit. Sorry. I think it's just plain wrong. I think that silly cowboy hat you are wearing is just wrong. And you should probably take it off.

If I wanted the base, without the top, can you do something like that?

My buddy and I make granite decorations, we could use the base and put a granite top on it.
 Quoting: Midnite_rider


That's what I was thinking ~ I'd like the base with a different top :)
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4129627


The base needs to be wider for a top that big.Very nice work.Do you make different styles of the base.
