Happiness is: ?

How about this one:

Happiness is: When you tap that dovetailed joint together and there isn't enough play to slip in a politicians honest streak.

I think I know what the "CH" part means, but the "R" escapes me. Tom, whose happiness may directly correlate to his ignorance.

Not woodshop specific, but a lifetime spent in the successful pursuit of measuring the "R" factor would definitely qualify as happiness for many of us wooddorkers. ;)

Let's get back on topic now ...

I think I know what the "CH" part means, but the

If you have a sufficient and continuosly replaceable supply of RCHs to repeatedly verify that measurement every cut, then I agree that you have found what "happiness is..."

LOL You left out "variable"!

... for the grass is always red.., errr, greener on the other side of the fence.

That only tell part of the story. Red is finer than other colors, meaning more accuracy.

In the last 12 months, adding a 15" stationary planer, 1100 CFM canister dust collector, 22-44 Drum sander, LT16-HD Laguna BS, and a very large tool chest to ones garage/shop and ending up with more room to work than I started with.

When you shake out your new load of #2 Common and find enough figured wood to complete a job that you've had in the back of your mind for almost five years.

But does a RCH maintain that accuracy it turns gray? Or is it necessary to start over with a new supply source?

We always said it was "Royal".

Finer by definition.

I always found true blonde to be the finest definable measurement to me...

Happiness is the end of the job, happy clients, check in hand, and everyone paid. Going to my buddy's shop to sit around his woodburning stove on a cold night and take in a stogie and some good bourbon.

Sounds like it was almost worth missing a good gumbo for?

It seems the trick is putting all the large stationary equipment on mobile bases and along the walls. Hopefully you will be sucking soon with a new shop. ;~)
