So many people are doing kumiko stuff right now I almost feel required to do a project.

That's awesome!

Agree. I almost made a separate scraps cart but ended up just throwing them in a tub and slid under my long bench. There's too many in there but I'm constantly using them to test cuts before doing the actual one so I feel justified. For the wall mount, on two levels of one of them I cut down a...

I have two sets of the Bora wall mount wood storage and no problems believing the weight capacity. One of mine was irresponsibly loaded with scraps. I’d recommend those for sure. A couple of lessons learned about installing them and where if you eventually get them.

But that's how you know it is working.

My current gate situation I need to fix. I knew when we bought the house it would have to be replaced so glad we got a year and a bit out of it. Not scared about doing it myself but have never done a gate. There's about an 11" drop from post to post. I guess the point was to maintain the fence...

As @Goatface mentioned there are a lot of styles for that. Rockler had a sale in one of their Labor Day emails for their Folding Workshop Brackets (Rockler Rock-Steady Folding Worktop Wall Brackets). I'd look at something like that then compare prices. You can search Pintrest or Google for DIY...

Luna our new GSD 9 weeks old

I tried to read most of the posts but they all got jumbled together. Anyways, Episode 1 was meh to us. We may get around to Episode 2 or may just keep watching Sprung b/c of Greg Garcia and Garret Dillahunt. Elf language stuff reminded me of every time someone tries to over-pronounce Italian...

Repairing my washer, dryer, refrigerator, and umm oh installing new dishwasher. I really found a lot of fun doing it myself. It isn’t for everyone but the idea of paying someone $120/hr to do something + $80 service call out or whatever. You can find anything on YouTube. Of course you do it...

Does that play pretty well in 2022? Any mods that would improve anything? Definitely pick it up for free, but wasn’t sure if anyone had recently gone through it recently.

I hope this is true it just seems painfully naive unfortunately (not that you’re naive, painful for me to think about). Someone made the decision to do that and they’ll want/need to show a return on that investment. From doing what they’ve been doing would be a neutral so in steps so-and-so to...

The CNC Thread may get more traffic. Not sure how many people know this Woodworking thread exists. https://www.firesofheaven.org/threads/cnc-lasers-routers-etc.11758/ This thread is reserved for me complaining about the state of my workshop! 🤪 j/k! I’ve learned a lot from both threads. I...

Huh.. well then

Brahma, true or false: You have a Lindon tattoo?

Chuckled about Claudia Black playing Karla Grey. Wondered what she was up to recently, we were talking about doing a Farscape rewatch. Do I have to watch that trailer to figure out when it is released and where to stream? IMDB kind of strikes out... oh turned off AdBlock and now see it was May...

Thats awesome. I need to check more of those out because I learned a ton that will help with woodworking sketches. Laying out dados or rebates and drill holes. Just a hobbyist and always kind of fought to make things line up and went back and manually fixed things after making alterations to the...

Just redo Band of Brothers but throw a wizard or two in there! I guess that’s more like a Black Company tv show 🤔

I’d vote for Malazan too but also believe it’s be screwed beyond belief. Cradle would be fun but maybe too risky to end up very Young Adult. In a little bit of a different direction maybe something from Carlos Ruiz Zafón like The Shadow of the Wind.

Got it moved upstairs. Still not 100% where to put it, currently sitting at the foot of our bed waiting for me to hit the corner when I wake up at 2am to pee. Need to wipe it all down with some cleaner, finish mounting the top (if you can see the small edge of the figure 8 poking out just below...

I don't think the color palette and it being "cosmic horror" make it derivative of Color Out of Space, at least not the movie (never read the Lovecraft story). That movie had a lot of stuff going on and this was pretty much just a conversation between a dude and a God in a toilet. I thought it...

Finished Resident Evil 4 and really enjoyed it. Campy, clunky controls, bad acting. All the good points. Starting Resident Evil 5 and it feels absolutely terrible. Everything is a bullet sponge, AI partner is worthless at best and detrimental at worst, too serious. Maps through the 1st two...

Yeah, normally do and would have. Was kind of rushing to finish since I was already a couple days behind. It isn’t for someone else so no biggie. It dried a little lighter and one coat of General Finish has helped.

So we had a set back on picking the puppy up. Breeder had a family emergency and needed to delay for a few days. Gave me some extra time to work on the kennel since real life delays have taken back over. Got to gluing up the top yesterday. Had leftover stock of Red Oak in flat sawn and quarter...

Finished this yesterday too. Just not your yesterday... It was good, set up for the finale should be good. At this point it isn't even annoying that every time they do something it will result in Skippy being over confident and screwing up. If it were any other series I'd probably be annoyed by...

Just be careful if you’re wearing the gloves around tools that spin or have parts that spin very fast. I’ll take a splinter and save the skin on my hand. 🙄

Now do my fly problem and I'll go through with it and report back in a year.

I've had the same problem with flies on one particular side of our house that is close to the garage door for my woodshop. I've cleaned, pressure washed, sprayed, had the bug guy soak it in chemicals, put out fly bags, have a bug zapper. Doesn't matter. They swarm that one spot. Only thing we...

Never understood why these hand tool / “traditional” woodworkers have to dress and look like they’re from the 1600s. I do want to do this as a project though. Really nice looking table. I was going to do wedged tenons on my table but ran out of time.

Q3A had Bones, a blue radioactive skeleton.

Work proceeds slowly. Did one coat of my frame and wanted to test fit the bars. The one right in the middle is bent slightly and was a bitch to get past that point when inserting. May try and pull it out and replace it with one of the spares. Also let me just say how much I hate painting. This...

That’s interesting. Since Match Game just came out I wasn’t paying attention to anything else he had dropping. Will check that out and maybe read a series of his rather than listening to one. Sabriel, The Old Kingdom Book 1 by Garth Nix. It wasn’t bad just didn’t hook me. Parts were hard to get...

8 minutes to get to the subject in a 10 minute video? This must be the guy writing all those recipes online that start with 10 pages of backstory about the first day of summer and the lavender smell of the flowers and the dogs and kids playing in the yard and just get to the friggin' ingredient...

Went ahead and Amazon next day'd a Metabo Variable Speed. Just went with a 4.5" to get me in the door. Maybe I'll step up over time. It was actually somewhat difficult to find an "entry level" variable speed that seemed worth a damn. Normally I would default to Ridgid like all my other stuff...

For sure, but I have already put hours in to 4. Needed something after Platinuming Rogue Legacy 2. No big deal, I'll buy the bundle to pick up the others. If I get the individual keys I'll just hand them out here to someone who would want them. *edit: To that end, if anyone wants Resident Evil...

Fuck me I just bought the 4, 5, and 6 bundle on Steam like 4 days ago.

I think a set of locking casters is a good idea, but I’m biased about having moveable benches in my shop. That way you could still pull it out to vacuum behind it. Otherwise yeah, put a shelf to cover the gap. Oh or one of those strips they make for range ovens! Haha Linda's Essentials Silicone...

A bench grinder is probably my next big purchase. If I can find one used that is decent that would be awesome, otherwise I’m probably looking for a Tormek (I really thought they had wire wheel attachments, hmm double checked their page. O pretty exclusively sharpening) or similar. Need it to...

I told the wife it was going to have to be big enough for me to fit. Pretty happy with how these turned out. Ended up using a wire wheel on my cordless drill to knock off the rust and grungy spots. Then used a series of sanding sponges from 80, 140, 220. Lastly sprayed with matte clear coat...
