What do you do to relax, chill-out un-wind and de-stress besides chatting with other freepers?

You know what you're doin??

I learned the hard way. trial and error but I do okay these days with the pre-hung doors. Lots of shims handy too! 8>) I've been kind of piecing the doors in the house together as the budget allows. Only ten more to go.

I'm pretty fair with laminate flooring (now that glue isn't used much anymore)and baseboards etc

[Horatio Gates]

I do have a question. Do you know a better way to cut out the inlay for the door hinge plates on blank doors? I've been tracing the hinge plate on the door edge then router it with a Dremel. Its sort of tedious, looks fine but less expensive than pre-hung doors

Shoot too. And FReep.

Get a good wood chisel. You can get a whole set for about $25. 1/4 inch up to 1 inch. Trace your hinge, and then first, tap the chisel straight in(the bevel edge to the inside so the cut is sharp/crisp--don't go much deeper than the thickness of the hinge) then, gently tap into the meat of the wood(bevel edge down so you can regulated depth--so you don't cut in too deep). If ya do it right, with a new chisel, you'll get a nice clean flat area for your hinge.

Take your time and you can't go wrong...

I'll give that a try. I figure I'll save about $30/door. The Dremel is okay and I learned to score the outline of the hinge plate with a knife as to try not to over-cut but it still happened and puttyed up the over cuts. Once the paint was on you couldn't tell otherwise. But even with the depth attachment it still needed extra passes to get it just right

Haven't you heard yet that you can drink any time at all - because it's Happy Hour somewhere in the world!

Read, esp. true crime books, surf the net, draw silly cartoons, go out with friends, play cards, dominoes and dice, watch cartoons, the History Channel, the Discovery Channel, A&E, Animal Planet and TLC, watch sports, esp. football, walk, not necessarily in that order.

We have many FReepers here who really know how to relax!

You up for a challenge?

It does exist, you can walk under it and look up to see all the limbs coming out to the sides.

I love to cook, enter contests online/offline, play guitar, rollerblade, and draw/paint :)

how do you ride a pool?

Check out this page. The stuff is kind of pricey for what you want it for, I assume.

I'd follow the outline with a new, sharp utility knife & chisel out the meat, as others have said.
