"Regular" curly maple is lovely stuff! Very pretty and very stable. Even a simple oil finish can make it really look nice :thumbup:

My uncle is a master cabinetmaker... he once did an entire kitchen for a woman who had him whitewash the whole thing :eek: :barf: :mad:

oh lord the humanity! Why the hell would you white wash the entire kitchen!

Although I will admit I really want my kitchen to be commercial grade. Stainless steel everywhere!

Wow. I am surprised he didn't walk out on the job.

I used to customise motorcycles for people with no taste and too much money... sometimes you just have to bite your tongue and cash your paycheck no matter how much it hurts your soul.

This is quite true in restaurants too! People order some of the craziest stuff!
 
Yes, things like that. Had one guy send back a BEAUTIFULLY marbled perfectly cooked medium rare rib eye cause it wasn't done enough, he wanted it beyond well done, he sent it back a second time when it was "well done". Needless to say he actually got a very special sauce with his steak.

:eek: More and more im becoming afraid of restaurants
 
I forgot to mention all the cabinets were solid birdseye maple (talking about how pretty curly maple is, is what reminded me of it)... the whitewash just made it look dirty and cloudy :(

anyway...

Exactly. He tried to talk her into just using oak or something if she insisted on slobbering paint or whitewash all over it. But she wanted birdseye, and had the money to pay for it. My uncle didn't like it one bit, but he had bills to pay just like everyone else.

Wow. Dude, you have no business cooking or serving food to the public. You're going to run into that kind of thing periodically dealing with people and that's just inappropriate, nasty and probably felonious assault. Why didn't you confront the guy instead of sneaking nasty shit into his food?

I must say, that is beyond disgusting. And this coming from the guy that's always putting down the restaurants, and food others choose. ;)

+1 to what tradewater says. If you're in the food service business, you need to be providing SERVICE, not making judgments on other people's preferences. You cook what they want, and you deal with it if you think they're ruining the food. If you want to be able to judge them, you should be inviting them over to dinner at your house, where they eat what you cook and like it. If it's in a restaurant, the customer is always right. I'd have fired you in an instant if I ran that restaurant. I've been on the receiving end of shenanigans like that, all because the kitchen screwed my order up (ordered a triple, came with two burger patties instead of 3, asked POLITELY if I should have gotten a third, and ended up with nasty stuff in my burger). I did nothing wrong asking for the food to come as I ordered it, and frankly, I'd be surprised if this guy didn't order it well to begin with, in which case that was YOUR screwup, not his. Let's just say, in my case, it got up to a senior VP of the entire company, and the entire franchise was emptied out, and I was offered free food there for a year. That's how inappropriate that behavior is.
 
The wife was so impressed with Ethan's PD20 Fenix, I picked her up a PD22 today for her EDC. That is an impressive little flashlight.

You need to put some WIP threads up in that brand new subforum of yours!

Does it have the button on the side? I'd never messed with the newer ones and was wondering if you could set it so that you could turn it on into a particular mode vs having to click through everything.

The mode switch is on the side and when you turn it on, it comes on in the last mode you used. Very cool little feller. The strobe will foul you up if it's shined in your face too. :D
