Um, is that the guy from Different Strokes and Balky Bartokemus ?

I'm lost.

[Minvaren]

I had to read the page on Wired a couple times - apparently it's based on a TV show called "Community."

(doesn't go off on his usual rant about how not watching TV makes you a social outcast in modern society)

[Tannhauser]

On the NBC TV series 'Community' the characters of Troy and Abed often pretend to do a morning show.  Their catch phrase is "Troy and Abed in the moooorrrrnnniiiinnngggg!"

The character of Annie often interjects herself into the 'show' much to the dismay of Troy and Abed.

[Ironwood]

Not imported yet, I don't think.

Still looks like Balky.

[Ingmar]

Or maybe Bill Nye.

But then, looking a modern society, being a social outcast?  Not all that bad.  Still waiting for you people to start eating your young.

Well, that's Elena sorted.

[Paelos]

That's my favorite.

[HaemishM]

Those are incredibly awesome.

[sickrubik]

you can buy it/them.

[MuffinMan]

I really want to buy a print but I'm not good at getting things framed. My Vigo painting is still in the tube two years later.

[sickrubik]

I went to SDCC several years in a row. I have so much god damn stuff in tubes, it's sad.

[Bunk]

I have this picture framed on my wall:



Got it at PAX a couple years ago, signed. Poster cost me $10, the frame (nicer than in this picture) was $130.

[Merusk]

$130?  Does it have UV glass or something?  That looks like it's what, 20x30?

Frame prices are why I go to Michaels or Hobby Lobby every time I get a 50% off coupon or see a sale on them.  Damn things are a pretty penny.

[Sky]

I have the former and had to try really hard not to buy five of the latter from an old guy at a craft sale Sunday.

(Rabbet and molding planes = picture frames cheap)

[SurfD]

Heh, you would love my Dad's little collection then Sky.   When my paternal grandfather passed away, my Dad inherited his collection of old tools.  He has been spending a chunk of his retirement time restoring them, and has since made a little museum in his garage to showcase the collection for local hobby shows and the like.  He has ab out 50 of those large wood planes, as well as a butload of other woodworking and metal working tools.

WANT. 

[Viin]

I have the original Cardboard Tube Samurai poster, not signed though and not framed. I do have several anime cel's framed throughout the house. Good ones are hard to find these days!

(Rabbet and molding planes = picture frames cheap)

This is one of my long-term goals. However, I need to get out of this house first, there's no room in the garage for a good work area and I don't have a basement.

The problem is that nobody wants to buy in my area. Four houses have been for sale 6 months now and a fifth just went up yesterday in my little neighborhood of 55 homes.

[Khaldun]

I started rabbeting frames with my router table the other day but I have to say that the self-squaring frame clamp I bought is really a pain to use.

I started rabbeting frames with my router table the other day but I have to say that the self-squaring frame clamp I bought is really a pain to use.

One reason I went with craftsman style, even though I'm not into advanced joinery. Lots of butt joints. So I can make nice looking stuff that's faked with butt joints and then as I learn to hand-cut mortises (yeah, some more capital outlay for a decent saw and set of chisels, I'm a hand tool ho) I can make some amazing stuff.

Hell, I hand cut most of the stuff I've done, I only just got a cheap (free) table saw because I had to rip a sliver off a 6' board that would've been a pita with my big ol vintage ripsaw.

Yea, I got sucked in on the fancy upgrades 

Next time I'll be better prepared.

Would love to do my own framing, I love woodwork, but I don't even remotely have the space.

[Merusk]

Nah, don't think of it as sucked-in.   It truly makes a difference if you're hanging it anywhere near a window.  I've got a few prints that are damaged pretty badly because I didn't invest in the UV glass.   If they had just been your typical $10-$15 posters you can replace anytime, no big deal.

[01101010]

Spoilered due to the size.

[Tale]

I'd like to request those for The English Patient and The Thin Red Line so more people appreciate them.

I'd post a pic but have no clue which one to select. The whole gallery is worth a browse.

I like the Harley one best, but they're all great.

[Count Nerfedalot]

so are the balls moving because of some weird optical illusion or because of the bourbon I'm drinking? 

[KallDrexx]

Why not both!
