Cats of Azure Haus

Woodworking
Cats are majestic and behave as an animal spoiled in nature. Honestly I am not a fan of cats. I love dogs a real man's best friend. Sad to say after my 3 dogs died a few years ago, cats have overrun this place. Azure Haus is some kind of home to a few stray cats. These cats even a have few kittens who are now also cats and another batch of kittens. They do have names but I doubt that they know their names. "Spots" the male cat likes to rub his back around your legs but he is just to dirty to pet. "Snow cap" the mama cat who is just too feral because of trauma, even during the time you are trying to give her food she…

Circular saw tracks, introducing the Bosch FSN 800

Woodworking
Working with a circular saw makes you come across the need for a guide fence so that the cut is a straight line. Bosch does not have guide fence but they do have something different a Saw track. Unboxing... This came with a rather big box. A lot bigger than the rail. Yeah this does a great job protecting the rail. First impression The quality is as expected a product from Bosch.

Content creation and a laptop stand

Woodworking
I have been a software engineer a long time, but I just realized that it is not software that I am really fond of. Actually it is creating something and ironing out any problems with what I created. Last Oct. 29, I need to take care of my kid while my mother attends to some emergency at the province. I was watching my kid playing minecraft on her laptop. A Dell Inspirion 3168 which was not intended to play games., So it gets to hot and she needed to raise it up using a make shift stand out of corner bump guards. I have some excess wood from my snack table project (more on this later)., Why not make a laptop stand out of it. Laptop is 11.48" x 7.…
