An update and a fun statistic...
I busted out Angle Madness again and have been recording parts of the box assembly; hope to mix in a little of that build again while continuing on the Tim Burton Table build episodes.
As a software engineer by "day" (my circadian rhythm has a "day" shifted quite a bit...), "1e6" means a million, which is what we hit for page views earlier today:
Pretty happy with that; it's a milestone. It means there's an awful lot of you who fell asleep on the refresh key! :) just kidding... thanks for reading!
A funny story about "1e6": for non-software types, it's how we write "1x106" in programming languages. In high school, I was taking a test in a math class and everywhere I was supposed to write "x10n", I used 'e' notation. Instructor could have failed every answer, but instead brought it up as a problem with computer jargon. Never once looked wrong to me :)
So, again, "thanks a million"
Congratulations.
But what are those clamping whatzits?
Thanks! I'll be covering those in the episode; they are Bridge City Miter Stitches. They aren't in production anymore, but come up on eBay from time to time. You can make a satisfactory replacement with a dowel and hardboard; ridiculously useful for clamping up angles. I'll be showing how I did it for two different types of angles. Except some ditz forgot to record one so has to do the next drawer box for a recording :)
I'll also be showing you how to make some with dowels and hardboard; easy easy easy.
Congratulations!
BTW the Shed Of Doom is still there :-)

1 times 10 to the 6th.
I thought this was called 'exponetional' notation. This is One million.
Do you get a Million views in a day ? (WOW, that sound like a very high number.) What time period ? Is this per hour, per day, per week, etc...
Oh, I wish, Neil!
No, I finally hit a million lifetime views on the blog. YouTube channel is at 910k so soon enough it'll roll over. Granted, if I was a bikini-clad babe in a convertible posting videos of me driving, I'd get a million views per video. Don't worry... no bikinis on me in any forthcoming video; thanks...
iJustine used to get a quarter million views on videos in a week. Crazy!
