  • I understand the sentiment and yes, just like everything else, capitalism has turned death into a money making racket at the expense of the average person.

    I live near a cemetery currently and was raised near a different one, they make great neighbors. Quiet and the one near me now is also a wildlife refuge so I can’t call that wasted space. Yes, it’s privately owned but it’s open to the public. Also, I work in historic preservation and love working in and exploring cemeteries.

    In the end, I just love the blend of history, architecture, and nature in one place.





  • I used Waterlox on a desk I made a number of years ago. I used that desk extensively for a number of years and had no major scratches or dings. Pretty durable finish. I used their classic version which is oil based but they have a water based formula as well.

    Edit: Disregard this comment, I didn’t see the part where you mentioned wanting to put it on over the Minwax finish. I don’t know how it will work in that application.




  • What worked for me was to find a replacement for the sensation in my mouth. The big problem with a lot of sodas is the sugar and calories so I wanted to find a substitute that’s lower in those categories. I broke my addiction to Mt Dew with a big glass of the coldest water I could get, the cold mouth feel took the place of the fizzy one. I’m back on fizzy stuff but I stick to flavored seltzer water and usually only one with dinner.
