Y’all are as bad as Reddit. Yes I see it. No it’s not intentional.

Thank you! The seat was an old dining room chair that was trash picked and not worth repairing. The legs were turned from pallet wood.

Lathe was the only power tool used.

I think you are on to something here. Saw online somewhere that thin veneers can be made by edge planing a board. The strip can then be glued and wrapped around the tenon to take up the extra space. Think this is what I’ll try.

Thanks for replying. I’m curious how the screws hold up. In my experience I’ve only seen metal fasteners damage the joint even more as it flexes.

There doesn’t seem to be a straight forward way to set up a tv tuner.

I’m also dual wielding. I think the only thing really keeping me on plex is there doesn’t seem to be a straight forward way to set up a tv tuner.

The only difference with the Danish oil is the addition of some varnish. Apply enough coats and it’ll start to build up and might help a little with stain resistance. Otherwise you would need something more durable like a film finish. I think maybe laquer or a CA finish would work well for oil/grease resistance.

Some people don’t put any finish on handles and let natural oils from their hands build a patina. If you don’t like the look then some kind of film finish is probably what you need.

I just try different handle shapes until I find ones I like.

In the US most woodturning/woodworking supply stores carry kits. In this case I took the guts from a Harbor Freight screwdriver, turned a new handle out of cherry, filling the cracks with colored epoxy, made a ferrule from a brass plumbing fitting, and put it all together. The handle is finished with Danish oil.

Thank you!

I’ve done this with great success on kitchen cabinet hinges. I didn’t drill them out, just broke off wooden toothpicks to match the depth of the hole, covered with wood glue, put them in the hole, then put the screw back in. Works amazingly well.

I have not made one but I’d be open to a commission if it was within my capabilities. I might need more to go off of than that one picture.

I don’t know if direct messages are a feature with kbin but you can also contact me through my Etsy store

I couldn’t get Feedly to work. I tried to add a sub and initially content appeared but no new content is showing up.

A sturdy bench is a good call. Hard to do much without a good bench.

For rasps the Shinto comes highly recommended. Otherwise hand stitched rasps are supposedly the best but also cost the most.

Interesting. So their docker-compose file can be used to start up a local server? This might be worth trying out sooner than I thought.

I haven’t used it (yet), but I came across it recently as what looks like the best alternative to Pocket. Pocket just changed their app for the worse (in my opinion).
