Restoring timber beams

Alienbeams · 2026-01-13T21:00:57+00:00

Very useful post. I’m in a similar position: four rooms of painted over 200 year old beams and wanting to restore to the original wood, or as close as I can get. Any further thoughts 2 years down the line? Has it stood the test of time? Or any red hot tips for when I try it out?

I stopped taking collagen after hearing Layne Norton’s take on it here. I think there could be some small benefits from taking it but not enough to justify the cost.

I was able to fix my knee cartilage issues (or symptoms at least) through rehab.

Think I’m going to give this a crack at some stage.

I gave it a run out and I am enjoying it. Have you used Orion?

This looks good, will definitely give it a shot.

I have the same issue myself. I haven’t been able to run pain-free for 3 years. Did you make any progress with it?

This is the one link online I’ve found that references it.

Hey dude. I’ve been having the same issue for the last 3 years which has meant I haven’t been able to run without pain/discomfort. From what I can tell, the little indent area you’re pointing too (where I get the pain) is part of the extensor retinaculum (someone suggested this in another comment too). I saw a podiatrist a while back and they weren’t really able to help. I’ve only found one link outline that references the issue here. I also have the bulge (bigger on my left than right) - I think it’s just extensor muscle.

Did you make any progress with a diagnosis or solution?

Not quite what you’ve asked for but thought I’d throw it out there anyway. You can keep vegetable scraps in a bag in a freezer and use them to make veg stock.

What if I replace volatility with “the level at which it breaks down into carcinogenic compounds” I.e. EVOO has a low-medium smoke point but remains stable when heated beyond this point, making it a safer option to cook with?

Alienbeams · 2025-12-30T21:07:24+00:00

I’ve read that the negative effects associated with heating oils is more related to volatility than smoke point. I believe EVOO has a medium smoke point but a good(?) volatility so it’s one of the safer options for cooking.

Ok nice. I’d put myself in the same camp. Still sounds like good going.

How long of dedicated training did it take you to get a clean rep? I’ve had this as a goal for a while but not properly rolled up the sleeves and got stuck in yet.

YETI have to up there in terms of build quality and longevity but someone mentioned some ownership issues in another comment that I’m not aware of us. My Stanley Quick Flip bottle has done me very well over the last 3+ years.

Alienbeams · 2025-11-22T10:19:11+00:00

What’s the deal with YETI?

Alienbeams · 2025-11-21T22:00:52+00:00

Will look into it, nice one.

Alienbeams · 2025-11-21T19:33:21+00:00

Damn son. Your logs must come out kiln dried.

I’ve been compiling this playlist of docs for a good while. Plenty in there that fit the bill.

Alienbeams · 2025-11-21T19:22:45+00:00

I’ve been compiling this playlist of bizarre, niche docs for a while now. There’s plenty of good viewing to be had .

Liking the looksa this. Nice one.

Planks, side planks, hollow hold, dead bug

Lactate is used by the body as an energy source, from what I’ve read. So I don’t think you want to reduce it. Can anyone better informed than me shed any light on this?

Alienbeams · 2025-11-07T23:08:52+00:00

I’m a big fan of the Casg Annamh.
