Vlogging attempt - August 12 2015

Every once in a while, I shoot a video just talking about stuff, and I figured I had enough miscellaneous stuff for that again. For those who can't watch the video, or want a bit more detail, here's more on what I talked about in the video:

Sponsorships

The mattress people - way too much needs to be said about how good the mattress is and whatever kind of foam. It would add over a minute of stuff to the video that really has nothing to do with what the video is actually about, and I work hard at removing unnecessary scenes from a video. But the part I really have issue with is claiming that it's a good deal at $800 or $900 US. I paid less than half as much for the queen size mattress we have, and I'm quite happy with it.

Pocket holes

But was thinking, what is the opposite of pocket hole joinery. Mortise and tenon or dowel joinery might qualify. But then was thinking, woodworkers who use pocket holes rarely have jointers, and woodworkers with jointers rarely use pocket holes. Both tools sort of define your approach to woodworking. Pocket holes are about using a lot of plywood and working quickly. Jointers are about starting with raw lumber and getting things all precise and straight before proceeding. Woodworkers who use pocket holes certainly get things done more quickly, but it isn't as strong and doesn't look as nice as stuff made more traditionally.
