Oh interesting! Okay and what kind of bit do you think it’s is?

 

How is he routering freehand such a straight line on an uneven surface? I want to do this.

 

Feedback welcome. Thank you 🙏🏼

Shit I hadn’t even considered that. Glad I know now

 

In the Redwoods these oxalis make a perfect carpet on the forest floor. I love growing them it reminds me of that

My mom still uses hers. It’s great.

It really is. Whittling is great bc it’s the one kind of woodworking you can do without your shop. Sitting around a fire or even inside on a rainy day

Doug Linker is great! I’ve done a couple of his tutorials. I can’t wait to see that chess set when it’s done

Thanks! Two hours

 

Does anyone else whittle? Johnny Layton is an amazing teacher. His video on sharpening led me to cutting paper with my knife for the first time in my life. Finally having a sharp knife has made whittling more fun

This is great! I love how much he loves and respects good stories and being a part of them. I liked how the interviewer describes his roles as “desperate” and he agrees that those feelings are inside him and he likes drawing them out. Thank you!

Yes I saw that! That was a fun movie. I wonder how much of the real Nic that was

 
 
 

Started with a stair tread from Home Depot. Cut off the corners with the scroll saw. Routered the edges with the Roman Ogee bit. Then I printed out the letters and traced them on with transfer paper. Used a Dremel with a very small round bit to cut the letters. Filled with black acrylic paint. Sanded off the excess from the face. Finished with Amber colored Shellac from Bullseye.

 

Should I move my checking/ savings from my credit union? Should I move my investments from Schwab? Should I move to different institutions or what can I do to protect ?

 

The inspiration is from the Elven art in LOTR and Rings of Power

 

It’s going so much better this time! I made a stencil out of hardboard using a jigsaw and scroll saw. Then I routered it into oak. Now I’m using a chisel to carve out the pieces my router couldn’t reach, and to make rounded parts pointy. I have completed this bottom corner. Carving is my favorite thing about woodworking. I like to listen to podcasts and just be in my own little zone.

What I do is try to time it just right, deadhead until the blooming period starts to wrap up and then let the rest go to seed. It’s hard to do!

Wait I don’t get it. Please send help. Is it like a flowchart?

Dude awesome. I mean you gotta hand it to them. Killing it with affordable electric cars, solar panels and now this. It’s a step in the right direction, and that’s more than you could say about UK

OMG thank you for that. My essay ends with 'magical fruits' but I totally meant to say 'musical fruits' as a nod to that timeless classic. Editing that now. Keep tootin' friend!

wait.... no wait a minute. That wikipedia article says both 'musical fruits' and 'magical fruits'. Well I guess both work? I'm going with Musical
