Two trips through my Suitcase Fusion and I can't find 'em.

That way their EBT card will look like a "normal" debit / credit card. So when they use cash benefits to fund their ________ habit, they won't look like they're milking the system. I'm all for helping families in need, but when they swipe their EBT for two measly bottles of Mountain Dew, I...

I use a 3M photo frame mat board cutter for projects just like this. It works extremely well, and you can knock them out without any thinking because material is always positioned against a stop. If it were me, I'd use the mat cutter for cutting longitudinal strips and then use a cutting...

How's a "reactive" cookie any different than the typical cookie? Looks like the age-old (car sales) tactic of 70% of something is always better than 100% of nothing. JB

One other thing I've noticed was that particular item, from that particular vendor, has appeared in numerous pop up adds when visiting other sites yesterday...that's nothing unusual. But I find the sudden price drop to be a bit surprising. JB

Without naming names, I visited that huge bookseller (among other stuff) on the web. You know...the one named after that big river...and the rainforest. Anyway, I searched for a particular item (top-name software) and then went back a day later...only to find the same item drastically reduced...

I like these better because they tighten at the opposite end. By far, my favorite is the soft rubber coated Fiskars knife, shown in second photo. It tightens at the opposite end also and never comes loose. JB

We do stone engraving and deal with death with just about every customer. And having lost my father just over a year ago, it's become something I've gotten very comfortable with. Sometimes a chance encounter can turn into a mini grief counseling session, and it's very therapeutic for the both...

Made in China...loose tolerances to keep costs low. Put a small o-ring in between the handle and the collet. JB

Pure, raw talent... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKezUd_xw20

Hmpfff....the title has nothing to do with aloof macho men. JB

^^And for the guy who finger paints in the video above, I'm sure those "happy trees" would make Bob Ross smile down from heaven. JB

As long as we're splitting hairs on what constitutes the "roots" of our trade...let's talk about the cave dwellers who carved images into the soft stone of the cave walls eons ago (a tad before the dawn of One Shot). Does that put me any closer to "brushworthy"? (we do engraved...

My sign maker friend has a large neon "Yes" hanging in his window. It glows only when he's open. JB

The only thing lacking from this article was my first, middle and last name. Guilty as charged...on all 22 counts. JB

Definitely worth it if you drink it more for the flavor, instead of the caffeine kick. Although I do like the tickle on my brain most mornings. Only takes me about 5 minutes to get a pot ground, bloomed and started dripping. It can be a rather mundane chore sometimes, but the reward is...

Just learned about the technique of "blooming" freshly ground coffee before doing a drip pot. Google it for an in-depth review. I only drink two or three fresh mugs a day, but all I can say is wow...it's raised my snobbery to a whole new level. Next step is to learn how to roast my own...

Your answer lies within your own question. Over the years, I've learned that most business problems result from the obvious, not the unknown. JB

Quick FYI: The Gerber GSx is a swivel (or drag) knife plotter. It has no tangential cutting capabilities. The knife does not turn under power from the plotter, it simply drags along and changes direction in conjunction with the directional changes of the head and drum. Hence, you'll go...

If this isn't a hobby, then start at the beginning with an yearly budget. Divide your budget by the total numbers of hours you plan to work each year to come up with an average hourly shop rate. Use that rate to estimate your jobs. If you're relatively new, then add a bit of extra time...
