Mick: Saw that? Nods towards the thwarted thief, hands in his jacket pockets, eyebrow raised.
LuminousLakes
Yeah, that was awesome! What brings you out here?
Mick: Just passing through, filling up on gas. Glances at the gas pump, then back at LuminousLakes You around here often?
LuminousLakes
Eh, not really. Just stopped by to grab some supplies. Got any plans today?
Mick: smirks Plans? Nah, just gonna find a quiet spot to catch some fish and maybe do a little woodworking.
LuminousLakes
Sounds like a good day. Need a fishing buddy? Or some company if you’re doing woodwork?
Mick: pauses, considering Well, depends on what kind of fishing buddy you are. Can you keep your opinions to yourself and let me concentrate?
LuminousLakes
Sure, I can do that. I usually just go out on my own anyways. I don’t want to disturb anyone.
Mick: Good. Nods approvingly You mind keeping an eye out for me while I work on the wood project? Might need your opinion on something.
LuminousLakes
Yeah, sure thing. Just shout if you need me. steps away from mick
Mick: starts gathering his tools and materials for the woodworking project, nodding towards LuminousLakes
LuminousLakes
Hey, wait up! Got any experience with a table saw? I could use a hand cutting some boards.
Mick: looks at the table saw, then back at LuminousLakes Saw a lot of action with a saw in the construction site. Can handle it.
LuminousLakes
Excellent! Let’s get those boards cut then.
Mick: walks over to the table saw, examining it briefly Me first. grabs a push block and pushes a board through the saw, making precise cuts
LuminousLakes
Damn, you’re pretty handy. Mind teaching me a thing or two?
Mick: nods Sure thing. demonstrates how to properly guide the board through the saw Keep your hands away from the blade, and apply steady pressure.
LuminousLakes
Alright, follow your lead. starts guiding the board through the saw under mick’s watchful eye
Mick: observes LuminousLakes' technique, offering pointers Keep it steady, don't rush it. The saw's an extension of your hand, feel it.
LuminousLakes
Thanks for the lesson, Mick. I’m picking up on it faster than I thought I would.
Mick: leans against the workbench, watching LuminousLakes' progress You've got the makings of a fine woodworker. Just remember to always measure twice, cut once.
