TWO FEET OF QUARTERS


I created a whole bunch of drill debris.

This is about as close to perfection as I get.

I measured very carefully and used a jig for my press.

There are holes in the top, sides, and bottom.

The top holes are 1" to accommodate quarters.

I drilled the top holes as deep as the drill bit shank would allow and low and behold each hole will accommodate exactly one roll of quarters - pure dumb luck.

When filling the top holds with quarters many of them end up vertical instead of laying flat. The side holes allow me to adjust those errant coins.

Why I named it 2 Feet is rather obvious.

There are 3/4" holes in the bottom of each coin slot.

I use this tool I made...

To remove the quarters from a slot.

I placed it in my kitchen above where I sit.


I made it from start to finish in one day.

The slab of wood came from the bottom portion of a porch column just like this one that I've been hauling around for 40 years.

I seem to remember reading that for the first time in human history, more people live in cities than in the country. And traditionally, city folk have far fewer children than those in the country.

Europe seems to have an aversion to safety railings.

Is there any advantage to that handle design or is it just a novelty?

This packaging uses an optical illusion to make the vegetables look more green.

Today for the first time I discovered that there are gas grills that you control with your phone. They call it Wi-Fire. True.

I suspect the imprisonment drove it insane.

Think of the brilliance of erecting the tunnel walls as soon as the drill bit advances.

IT'S HONEST WORK


What are those?

^^C1^^

I bet those are like the placebo buttons at street corners that don't really do anything to change the light. Those tags could be a way to keep the customers from bothering the staff by reporting problems.

its late and no comments...awe..they are all in church for a late mass....maybe not.
2 feet--well done. I have done a bit of wood and metal (on a bridgeport) work myself. Are you Norm equipped (bourgeoisie) or proletariat (like me) with a drill press, spade bit and a jig? Sorry, I know "spade" and "jig" are outlawed and hate speech but in this case they are oh so descriptive. Don't you think?

A7: You are older now and should really know by now your so called teaching of the “truth”, of our history, of the worlds history only foments division, hate and violence. The first slavers of blacks were black. The first slaves in America were Irish. The north (republicans) fought a civil war to free american blacks from the confederate and democrat states of the south. You really aren’t either smart and/or well informed. You simply regurgitate your party line. Do you ever attempt to organize your thoughts to test your biases? That’s probably half rhetorical and half suggestive but is wholly sincere. You are not a 2 million hit tik-tok influencer but for some reason I think its worthy of my time to try to reason with you.

B4: You want to do that, don’t you? I thought for a minute I didn’t identify which one, then it occurred to me…..both.
