Doing Things Wrong

Tesla & Twain

This is one of the funniest things on the whole internets. Mark Twain, a mad scientist, and it ends with a great Steely Dan tune. What else could you want? How about the rest of that song:

Steely Dan - My Old School

and this one ...

Mountain - Mississippi Queen

Oak

Here is a piece of oak from Home Depot. I grain-filled it with several coats of water-based ( non-yellowing ) poly, sanding in-between until it is as smooth as plastic, which it now is in a way. I used water-based that because that was the first can I laid my hands on. Otherwise, I have a very low opinion of the stuff. I'm really only using it as grain-filler here.
