    Big drinker? Cheapest bottle opener or a nip of his favorite sauce.

    Angry asshole? Get him a therapy ball.

    The biggest thing my condescending asshole stepdad taught me was “Kill them with kindness”. If you’re kind in a backhanded way, it’ll piss them off and you can feign innocence.

    Personally I’d give him a box of dogshit













  • A shop built cab and a fine woodworking dresser are very different things and the tolerances are much tighter on one than the other. Kitchen cabinets have maybe one moving part, a door, and are usually painted, meaning gaps can be filled and tolerances can be lower. A dresser that’s going to be finished with a stain needs to be made from hardwood, not plywood, and any moving parts like drawers need to be made with very close tolerances, especially if they aren’t on mechanical slides. Hardwood expands and contracts a lot more than plywood, which also needs to be accounted for. Having built a lot of both I feel safe saying the table saw being flat might not matter for plywood cabinets, but absolutely does for hardwood furniture. Like, I used to shim my workbench back to true on humid mornings or the legs on a project might wobble causing me to think they’re off. Everything has to be flat
