Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company is delaying the construction of their Arizona microchip plant due to an “insufficient amount of skilled workers”. They might have to fly in “experienced technicians from Taiwan to train the local skilled workers for a short period of time.”
We are in a crisis state due to the lack of skilled labor in this country.

Here is a strange bit of craftsmanship... I think?
Sorry...

Given some of the evidence of machine marks on granite blocks in Egypt. (Maybe a future post) I am of the opinion that it is the result of some lost technology. I am thinking machine work not “aliens” lol. The most precise work is the oldest work, which is curious to me. Cheers!
Have we figured out how these walls were made, yet?

DEWALT D26676 HAND PLANER- SMOKED!
_______________
I had a twenty plus year career as a trim carpenter / woodworker. I never bought a hand planer during that time. However, I bought one for the start of my shop project six months ago. It was a Dewalt Hand Planer Model C226676 and it has been very helpful with various framing “adjustments”. I was using it today on the squaring up of the barn door framing glue ups. I smoked it, it caught fire! The design did not allow the shavings to blow out of the tool efficiently. I didn’t even have the dust collection bag on. Well, the wood chips caught fire and it died in my yard after I sprayed it with the garden hose to put the fire out. Yes, I unplugged it first…
Back to no planer again…

MOUNT VERNON’S FAUX STONE SIDING
_______________
Wood siding painted to look like stone blocks at Mount Vernon is a decorative architectural feature known as "rustication." Rustication is a technique commonly used in classical architecture to mimic the appearance of stone masonry on surfaces made of more affordable materials, such as wood.
At Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington, this technique was employed to create the illusion of a grander and more prestigious stone construction. The wood siding was cut to resemble the shape of stone blocks. Next, was painted and while still wet, sand was throw into the paint giving the stone look.
Rustication not only served an aesthetic purpose but also conveyed a sense of strength and solidity associated with stone architecture. It was a cost-effective way to elevate the visual appeal of the structure and create an illusion of grandeur. Today, these painted wood panels at Mount Vernon continue to captivate visitors, providing a glimpse into the architectural techniques of the past.
