Machine screws have a thread pitch too tight to work well in wood, especially if you're using softwood.

I had to look it up, so for anyone else: https://www.mmafighting.com/2021/12/20/22846823/police-chael-sonnen-allegedly-battered-five-separate-victims-in-fight' RIP his career if this is anything other than clear cut 5-on-1 self defense.

Up to you. They're workbench shelves, so the entire spectrum from rough cut unfinished to exotic wood, sanded, stained, and coated is acceptable. Anything with a head larger than the holes in your flange is fine. #14 seems overkill.

So I've lucked out in the tool department this year. Got myself a pretty decent starter bandsaw, my wife bought me a 3d printer for xmas, and my brother-in-law's mother just passed down to me a really nice 80's vintage Hegner scroll saw. Took it for a test drive and made this, which will...

If only. I see toddlers running the show all over the place.

Whatever size wood screw where the head fits the flange, probably #8. Pick a length that won't come out the back of your shelf, accounting for the depth of the fitting, and pre-drill a hole that's slightly smaller than the shaft. If your post above shows the exact fittings, you'll want a pan or...

You'd have to rig your own stabilization/clamping system. The precision you get from a drill press really isn't necessary for this job. I'd recommend marking carefully and doing it with handheld tools.

Gotcha. I've built desks with very similar design concepts (pic below). A few suggestions, if you're open to them and aren't already committed to that particular part list: - Consider home center chain link fence top rail instead of aluminium tubing. It's $2/foot, doesn't require shipping, and...

Excuses... but he's not wrong.

Buy from your home center pre-surfaced boards ( "select" grade at HD) of whatever species you like/afford and cut to length, inspecting for knots and straightness. Apply some finish to protect against dirt. (Linseed oil, danish oil, polyurethane, to taste.)

Pine is fine for shelves unless you're storing bulk metal ingots or something. If you have the equipment to cut it to size, plywood is probably cheaper and slightly stronger, provided you don't care about the aesthetics.

True for me, too. I have a sole proprietorship and I get a lot more, erm, attention from the wife when I'm under-employed and get to spend more time with the kids and pick up household duties, despite not being nearly as financially productive. I like my wife all the time and my kids most of the...

Rofl. Bisbing doesn't slip for a nanosecond.

My awesome wife got me a Voxelab Aquila for Christmas. I know it's not the best/fanciest, but looks to be a good starter printer. Fun with plastic, ho!

I'm old enough that on a gut level online dating still feels like it should be wrong, but my sister and a close friend of my wife's both met legitimiately great guys on Bumble and married them, without a lot of bullshit or bad matches in the process. Definitely in a different league from Tinder.

This is a mashup across so many dimensions that I don't even know what to think.

I was going to make a crack about how stupid lumber prices still were, but they're actually only 20% more than that, which isn't bad for LA. I was going to make a loft bed for my son; maybe I should try hardwood...

Relevant:

I'm not sure I'm a "real woodworker", but here's my take: There's nothing against pine (given that it's properly dry!) except for aesthetics and durability/hardness. A multitude of perfectly serviceable furniture is made from softwood, and we build houses from it, after all. Historically...

I used this to get Immortals Fenyx Rising for $13 (60% off - $10). Thanks!

I love me some rowing HIIT, but swimming is pretty good too if you have access to a pool. It's much easier to work myself harder if I don't ever overheat.

Give it time. Even assuming you're brutally consistent with a deficit of 750 cal/day at that intake, which is reasonable, you'll only lose 5-6 lbs a month. Depending on your starting body composition that might no be enough to notice much of a visible difference inside the first 8-10 weeks...

It's not legal in the US.

The footage of Ronda sparring with Gegard Mousasi is hilarious. He's just obviously trying not to hurt her and totally manhandling her at the same time. Anyone who thinks women can handle men in grappling outside of MASSIVE skill disparities is an idiot, and I say this as a BJJ brown belt who...

"Welcome to the Machida Era!" And Joe was right given the information at the time. Everyone was surprised at how hard Machida cratered. It's a merciless sport.

This is on sale for $14 (60% discount + $10 coupon) at the Epic Store right now. Are the DLCs worth playing?

"I know, let's make a loot-driven ARPG where power trades off against your ability to actually pick up any loot. Plus, we'll have dozens of collectible items used in niche builds without enough space to conveniently store them or a good mechanism for transfer! That sounds fun!"

I could listen to Bas talk about literally anything.

This is pretty much 100% my take. Dom has some weird technical blind spots for a guy of his experience ("Why doesn't he just stand up??", said to a man in bottom side mount under an elite grappler), but I can forgive them because he's otherwise very sharp. Joe is a funny one. What he says isn't...

He bitched a lot but made it to the end in style, honestly.

My worry was he seemed to shoot through the target into the bystander behind him. Close call.

$1 to earn ~$0.10 according to that article.

It's too fucking long, IMO. I burned out before I even really got to the expansions.

Not intending to open up any huge debate, but long covid is a thing. I have a friend who is a triathlete and got covid earlier this year. He had it fairly bad - major flu-ish, missed work for a week but didn't go to the ER or anything. Six months later he's still got massive endurance problems...

Great turnaround from Oliveira. The only bad thing about that fight was that someone had to lose.

This is fucking great already. That might be the best single round I've ever seen.

That was the strangest strategic decision I've ever seen. She started walking face first into everything and then tapped to absolutely nothing. I'm not into conspiracies, but this is what I would do if I were trying to sell a dive.

That's an understatement. In the US weaning and maternity leave won't overlap by the better part of a year unless you basically go straight to formula.
