I'm kind of glad i haven't bought a new car in the last 20 years.

Belts, tires, hoses... all rubber and any one of them will leave you on the side of the road. Buy the best ones you can. And batteries too.

Yes.... and that's terrible mileage for a sedan. Unless it's being driven like a race car. You can check the tread life on various brands at sites like tires.com. My SUV tires usually get 50 to 60k. I usually buy goodyears or Michelin. EDIT- this assumes the car didn't need an alignment or...

Well, I'm damn sure not there yet. But I think things are improving... thanks!!

Who ever paid for all those chairs at the Tokyo Olympics must be pissed.

Finally sliced the top off the box. The inside hasn't seen daylight since i glued it up. To do this, make a cut asking each long side. Then clamp with spacers in the saw cut (aka saw kerf). Then you can cut the last 2 sides. First 2 cuts- Second cut after clamping- Then you have...

Got one of those and a shaper table... lots of options for fancy bits/edges. I've gotten to where i like the simpler or plain lines. Nothing to fancy. I used to make really decorative trim.

Made some bottom trim pieces too- Forgot to take pictures while i was cutting. Just a couple tablesaw cut notches and round over on 3 corners.

Making a second matched walnut panel...

Me- "hey, I've got a cool idea that will make this box way more complicated!" My brain- "tell me more...." Need more thin material and trim pieces...

Ordered a light from olight during their sale. Sign in, check cart, and it says "free gift of X9R Blue"... that's their $500 flashlight. Surely that's not right. Paid for order- $41 with discount code. Guess we'll see.

Thanks! It's mostly ok, but the gaps haunt me. One day i will make a nearly perfect box. And I'll quit. I won't be quitting any time soon. It's like the 5 minute mile... I'd be happy to fill in any gaps in the instructions. I left out a lot of stuff because the internet likes...

Almost forgot- hey @2Glocks ! This is your how-to thread for one kind of box.

Well, everything's not all rainbows and unicorns.... there have been missteps along the way... some gaps in the top and corners-

You want a seat with 4 stocks or 4 handguards under it?

I honestly thought about it. I think it would take too many to make the seat piece.

Those hand guards and stocks cost less than just buying the wood.

Teak AK wood...
