Ever seen inside a knot? I accidentally discovered this while demolishing:

I'm assuming you mean a knot in wood here? I like the other sort. Always
fascinated me, but was useless at tying them.
Now of course I cannot learn as I cannot see the many videos about this on
the web.
Why am I fascinated, well you can in fact make very pretty patterns with
knots etc, and its just pleasing to see.
Well it used to be.

It's a wood knot in a piece of two by two. I was surprised that it looked just like another perfectly circular in cross-section piece of wood had been inserted into the hole.

When my son was in his teens, we rented a holiday house. The internal doors
were all pine. My sin discovered that if he pushed hard on a knot, the knot
pooped out. He left one door looking as if it had been machine gunned.

Your son sounds as naughty as I was at that age.

Peter Hucker, PHucker, Tough Guy, Uncle Peter and loads more is a career
troll.
He is life time unemployed, lives alone in a filthy house with 4 cats.
He has destroyed more than one group.
Just ignore the troll.

I think that is a highly apt way to refer to your offspring...;-)

the biggest threat to humanity comes from socialism, which has utterly
diverted our attention away from what really matters to our existential
survival, to indulging in navel gazing and faux moral investigations
into what the world ought to be, whilst we fail utterly to deal with
what it actually is.
