1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Yeah my little bro had the original Star Wars lunchbox as a kid. I had the Pittsburg Steelers. My little sis got the first plastic Jabberjaw lunchbox that I can remember. I was happy enough to brown bag it when I got to junior high aka middle school.

 

Damn... Disney released their first star war movie almost a decade ago. Where does the time go?

 

Had the H.R. Pufnstuf lunchbox (They were puffin some stuff alright....)

 

Who else saw the ORIGINAL (1977) in a theater the year it came out?

 

better question, who was even alive in 1977?

 

Not I.
I wasn't born yet. But I saw the original on a VHS recorded from the TV with commercials

I also saw the whole "Special Edition" OG trilogy in theatres.

 

I was there. First time I saw a movie with family in a theater vs a drive in.

Remember having to sneak in and see an R-rated film?

 

Damn. My older bro corrected me. We supposedly saw “Snoopy Come Home” a year or two after it came out in the local $1 theater.

Must’ve been too young to remember.

 

the last movie i saw in theaters was episode 1. I used to go with grandpa, but he gave up after having to sit through that. We rented movies for a while, then bought movies from the 20's & 30's for a while, but now he falls asleep on the couch pretending to watch the news, and if i wanna chill with him i have to have it on a sci channel or animal planet before 5pm.

Wow, there’s a lot to take in here.

 

Hump wit it.

 

We are going to get your truck so high.

 

Mf gonna think its a hilux or prado. I didnt get new top hats.

 

I know on the 5100's you reuse the OEMs. Not sure if they will fit the 6112's or not.

 

Aha!! Here they are. But apparently must be late 80s/early 90s or something, after Craftsman was outsourcing to Taiwan, but before production shifted to mainland China.

​

 

Damn I'm tired. This turned out pretty good though. I didn't end up notching any shelves because I remembered the dog leashes go in that corner.

 

I remember $1.50 theaters. That was about the only way that we ever went to the movies.
My mom and dad, who are very well off, did me a disservice by convincing me that we were poor. I grew up assuming everyone lived in a 4000 square-foot house, had season tickets to Disney World, the Charlotte Hornets and the Charlotte Knights. It wasn’t until I got out onto my own that I realized their method in raising me didn’t do me any good.

 

Nice work dude.

I see that back wall is definitely out left-to-right as you get down toward the floor. The install looks awesome, though.

I need to send you the spare trim nailer I have. That or a narrow crown stapler works great for locking the shelf boards down and is cleaner looking than using wood/drywall screws.

 

Yes the walls were definitely not perfect. I was wishing my had an impact driver along with my drill that way I wouldn't have to switch back and forth. I may have to use my HD gift card for this.

This was a project where I used what I had lying around. The only thing I bought was the plywood.

 

Does your question make me look old?

Some of us might have been up & running for America's birthday...

 

I'm just happy to see the guy who hollers at people for being packrats had wood enough to build this squirreled away himself.

 

Well @KNABORES and @455h0le_dachshund were both kind enough to inform me that I am a millennial. Even though I do not claim that title

 

Eeewwww. It's all good, you can be an honorary GenX'er along with the best of us. I'm old enough to don that title for my generation, and I doubt any other X'ers would disapprove. (GenX is '65-'78 or '80 IIRC, right?)

 

That's funny because I had the exact same thought as I was digging all the scraps out. I'm learning not to throw this stuff away.

 

So that's what I am. All my siblings are baby boomers. More evidence I'm special.

 

Looking good dude

 

That chart is dated a few years haha. About 7 years old now.
