I have scavenged furniture for years. Furnished houses and apartments and squats and warehouses and busses.

Have never knock on wood had bedbugs.

Learn what they and their eggs look like and inspect the shit you're grabbing first.

Once passed on a really nice couch in a nice neighborhood, because I spotted a half of an ass of one.

The stained old victorian style couch in the winco parking lot was fine though, lol

Four exposures!

Don't recall the author's name, but it's a great retelling of peter pan, pretty quick read

So! There's a place in Philly called the Mutter Museum. Filled with all manner of human specimens of various ailments.

Absolutely fascinating. Like $20 admission. 100% worth it.

A couple of the pieces on display are the skulls and jaws of mouth breathers. I don't know if they had an issue that required surgery that wasn't available in the 1800's, or if it was just bad habits, but.

Literally changes the shape of your bones. And therefore your face.

Fucking wild.

There's a 'free zone' in Belize that ahh.... It's like a pustulant blister of capitalism. It's gross. Feels gross. Everywhere that isn't actively selling shit is a literal garbage dump, and there's a ton of building carcasses with faded signs falling off of them. Looks like in its heyday it was at best a sleazy strip mall.

Also, I get it's a restoration project, which are fun and wholesome, but Fuck push saws.

Pull saws are where it is at! Easier to keep on target, less work, and you can't crease the blade on a cut and ruin the whole fucking saw

Though, I've never seen a pull saw you can play with a bow

I think you're the only other fucker in this thread who may have used their hands before

How do you clamp a bolt head that's recessed?

Drilling a spinning bolt is Not Easy. Not impossible, bit there's better ways to go about things

No he fucking doesn't

Wood glue isn't going to hold on metal at all.

Anti-seize to stop spinning? What? No. Anti seize is shit you put on threads so that when you come back years later, they still move.

Long acting lubricant.

And drilling out a bolt that's already spinning isn't going to be a fun time

Super glue is super brittle. Will fail at the first bit of force
