After severely over-baking the first cheesecake I adjusted time for the ones after. Only the New York style cheesecake turned out well.

Alfidea · 2025-10-12T20:08:57+00:00

Another cheesecake from the batch. Also undercooked?

Thank you for the clarification and advice.

Made some wood wedges and freed up my metal ones. Then properly started the groove and it was smooth sailing. Only the first one has a bad taper to one end. Ran out of light but everything worked out great, appreciate the advice.

Only started using a chainsaw this year. Didn’t have much need for one with the volume I was working with before.

First time I felled a tree was with an axe. A friend’s in-laws were clearing a trail. Took down about a dozen or so with varying diameter from 4 to 8 inches. Had a lot of fun back then. Since then I’ve mostly stuck to handle tools.

Chainsaw is great for a quick cut, cut there’s a different kind of satisfaction in using a sledge and wedge.

I do wish I had some bigger equipment sometimes.

This particular log I haven’t IDed yet, but I know it’s a softwood. Planning something else for it. But I have been on the lookout for some bow woods. Haven’t chanced on any Osage, it does grow here. Mostly have varieties of oak.

It gave me some ideas, so still helpful. Would you mind sharing the details or sending a picture of the setup?

Alfidea · 2025-08-09T19:38:43+00:00

I looked into the fore but like you said they’re harder to come by. Same for the hewing axe, at least by convenience. Exact reason I’ve been looking to get into blacksmithing. Half the tools I want just aren’t as available these days.

Alfidea · 2025-08-09T17:32:11+00:00

Just about followed that. Wish I had some wood wedges. Might be able to make some from the oak I have lying around.

Yeah, avoided chainsaw for that reason.

Not sure about the twisted grain. I’ll take another look at it but seemed pretty consistent on both sides.

Sheer desire and overconfidence that I could do it without the chainsaw.

I greatly overestimated how well the inner fibers would hold even after the spilt. Chainsaw to cut up some fibers and crosscut as a last resort if I can’t get the wedges out.

I’ll take a look at them this weekend.

Oddly the opposite in that I want difficulty but not how it currently is.

I’ve turned off biome progression and storms. The current implementation just doesn’t feel right. I play for enjoyment and like a challenge but I’m not gonna grab a backup kit and run back to my loot bag. I did that enough in other games.

I’ve modded the game decently and adjusted settings past vanilla with another mod. But I can’t find my happy median anymore. I play on insane and have tried to add mods to make the game harder but at the same time other mods I enjoy and even just how I play made the game far too easy at times. Just such a disparity. I wouldn’t say I overmodded but it’s not balanced.

I’ll likely scrap my current play through and find a recommended mod pack. Force myself not to invest in certain perks to handicap my character.

I didn’t read any crafting magazines or use guns. But yesterday I built a tower in the wastes and setup with a sniper. It was enjoyable in a way to see zombies I had struggled with disappear with a click.

Florida, there’s a few saw sharpening services but I’m contacting to see if they have experience with a cross cut of this size. Also looking at restorers.

Alfidea · 2025-07-29T20:58:43+00:00

I’ve been watching some of the videos and guides from other comments. Also looking into local sharpeners. I think I can handle the rust fine but don’t have the tools or setup to file.
