So we’ve had the Samsung Q900A hooked up for a couple of weeks now and overall I’m satisfied. Even with the room not at all complimentary to the simulated surround efforts of the sound bar I get moments of really great projection. I could imagine it sounding pretty awesome in a more rectangular...

That's true. I did some research on making my own slip cases and it still interests me, but have way too much else going on for another hobby. But nice slip cases are very cool to me.

I think I mentioned a bit ago that I found a Stihl weed eater buried in the basement from the previous owner. Went poking around trying to get it to run and the first immediate thing was the primer bulb was rotted. Checked Amazon and they were 10pcs for $11.47 but right before buying noticed a...

Speaking of Waterlox, I found this guide last night on archive.org b/c I couldn't find a direct link on Waterlox's website anymore. It is probably there but it was easier letting the browser find the saved version.

What do you mean by straight? 😝

lol probably in all my rambling and multitasking it was never asked, but thank you for answering :) I may look in to the Waterlox for another test. Still have over a month to finish the project so can continue testing. It'll cover the whole desk. The wood itself is over 30 years old so some...

Unfortunately I have nothing to help @Soygen with because hinges, drawers, and fasteners are anathema to me and I don't even want to try... So will just pile on with another question regarding finishing Cherry. I've read quite and am continuing to read a lot of threads on the topic and idea...

That's a big complaint I have about most SciFi / Fantasy special editions from these publishers. Most of the dustjackets are so unappealingly bad I'd be ashamed to have them on my bookshelf. Quite a few others I'd probably be interested in and am actively discouraged from purchasing because they...

Thread necro... Anyone have feedback on the Nikon D3500? I'm setting up a small light cube about 30x20x20 to do some firearm photography and have the budget to purchase an "inexpensive" camera to support the effort. The D3500 I can find on eBay for $400 body only, and then pick up a Nikkor...

I think you've found your ticket to success. Fucking white people.

Oh, I really never even looked in to the house rules stuff. In retrospect glad that I didn't b/c it was a good lesson in mechanics and learning how to maneuver around. With upgrades it is more of a nuisance and feels in line with how it should have been to start. But good to know, thanks!

Put more time in this because I like you. It actually got fun, just took longer than expected and trudging through the beginning sucked. But after a few upgrades things went more smoothly and progression actually started for me. So, yeah, perhaps I judged a little too early. It is fun. Probably...

Well, just broke one of my desk legs doing the mortise. I knew when the chisel hit a little resistance it was a bad idea but pulled anyways. Broke part of the side and top of the leg off. Was pretty much that whole area there. Glued it back together and don't think it'll be a huge deal at all...

Yeah, I use like a 15 year old Black and Decker that feels like a 8.5 earthquake in my hand while using it and sounds as loud as my damn table saw, so it really is appealing to me.

Couple of things I saw this morning: Taytools is having a clearance on some Narex branded chisels that are really good pricing. I'd buy these over one of the Amazon Chineseum brands if you were at all interested or just needed a backup...

I’ve been wondering what to do with all the Cherry chips and flakes I’m making from all the hand planing, routing, and thickness planer.

I just reinstalled it since it has been probably a year since I last gave it a shot. The most immediate off putting thing was the collision damage, or maybe just damage in general. Maybe my save wasn’t in the Steam cloud or a patch wiped everything, but I had no unlocks. There’s so much crap...

I didn't like it near as much as the 1st one.

That’s awesome

Keep us posted! I'd definitely be interested in a Pre-order. Signed up for their newsletter but I seem to miss more things these days the busier I am.

Table saw :) *edit: not my picture and maybe not exactly how I'd do it lol. Probably want a higher fence to support the height of the piece unless you think your featherboard is sturdy enough and you can push from the top with no wobble.

What's the max height of your table saw blade and how wide (thick?) are you resawing? I broke down some 2x8s b/c I didn't want to plane them all the way down to 3/4".

They were tossing out books at the office and one of our managers likes to go through the cart and see what is being dumped. Came across these that are pretty cool. Log books from the early 1900s through 1950s or such. All handwritten and in mostly great condition for how old they are. Those...

Nothing you're missing. I am just in the middle of the desk build and showed the method the original planner used and how I was going to do it for the sake of learning. It is over complicated and figure 8s that I've also used before would probably suffice, was me just spitting ideas out there...

This is just a modification of the one you showed earlier, right? If it is stable enough and she likes it I would futz with it too much. If you wanted to work on different Leg / Apron stuff you could consider doing mortise and tennons or maybe just playing with how the apron meets the leg and...

Let me know if you have any SketchUp questions, I'm really a total noob and switched over to Fusion360 but in principle there are a lot of similarities. One of my largest knowledge gaps is the follow tool (also no idea on OpenCutList, I saw it but didn't get it working before switching to...

You can pick this up for $19 and test quite a bit. There’s some really nice examples of blue that people have achieved. Wood Dye - Aniline Dye 5 Color Kit - Wood Stain Kit I also have this which I’ve never used that was on sale for like $119. Need to try it out one day. TCP Global Complete...

I’m so waiting for a hardcover release from one of the small publishers. Thinking about picking up all the paperbacks just to have copies in my bookcase for now since everything I have is on Kindle.

Fiancé does data analysis and is constantly doing numpad data entry, so this might make a great gift. Will try and pick one or two up (maybe a 2nd to go with my 10keyless) for a rainy day "oops I screwed up" gift.

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for. And luckily there's an Overcooked 2 deal on the front page that is good to know since I'll have to rebuy it coming from the PS4 version. Guess I'll just use the little remotes that come from it and my 2x 8bitdo to have 4 controllers and 4 player if necessary.

Any heads up or sites to track Switch deals? Always a day late to this and apparently missed the Switch + Mario Kart 8 bundles because that's exactly what I want. Seems to be in stock for $348 but was $299 (stealth edit b/c my initial amazon search didn't turn up but a Google link worked...)

I mean the conversation isn’t about what gives the Best and Most accurate cut, it was about @Bandwagon not being comfortable with a table saw and @Cutlery not being comfortable with a circular saw. And then sprinkled in with handling 4x8 sheets of plywood at the end. I like that SuperMax...

Yeah 4x8 sheets I find much easier to rough cut with the circular saw then final cut out at the table saw. I broke down a sheet of 3/4” one day by myself and was like nope.

Tracksaw. It isn't a requirement at all but could be a nice to have. As you mention Bora and other manufacturers have universal tracks that you can use on your circular saw, or you can go more specialized and buy one from Festool or similar. I have a version of this and hate it, Kreg makes one...

Obviously where you trick your kids in to changing the light on the fan when it goes out. Or to help Consuela dust the top of the blades.

Is that a below ground trampoline!? AFK to call my guy back over the fuck to my house….
