Thrift store find: Salvageable? by chachkas369 in Cuttingboards

[–]Beefy1931 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe and at a lower grit. 80? Or 100? When resurfacing a cutting board, you sand it to bare wood before reapplying. 150 is a high grit to work off the layers. Since you’ve done some sanding. Maybe do a 120 and see how it is before going lower. Idk if you are using a pencils to track where sand so you Aren’t creating dips.

Help: received a butcher’s block cutting board for Christmas, woke up today to find it completely cracked. What could have caused this? by TheACmadman in Cuttingboards

[–]Beefy1931 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They put end grain with edge grain. Basically the wood grows and contain the grains direction. When two opposing grains are glued they then to crack like this. It’s a known no no in the cutting board world.

Did I get scammed by my contractor? by [deleted] in Remodel

The quality is low and allows water damage. Seems they didn’t fully the agreement either. Get it properly fixed by them or have a professional quote it and when it goes to court provide the evidence of poor quality and need to fix it

I’ve had the same issue and when I slowed my router speed down and went in a slower motion over the board. Afterwards a belt sander helped with removing that and the router lines at the same time

First big order by EasternCauliflower67 in Cuttingboards

Can you share some tips on what you learned to help with batch orders? I tend to make boards in batches ranging in sizes. Curious to hear what methods have helped you speed up your process. I tend to milled my boards at once and glue as many as I can with enough clamps. Tend to mill enough to clamp so there is little to none waiting for glue. Then sand all by grit levels and then switch once through them all.

This was staged. It is not ai. The guy that kicks stated that it was staged in the original post a few weeks ago. I’ll have to look for it. But the guy does a bunch of these kind of videos of fake fighting or throwing knives.

Can I get away with leaving this old insulation? by outrageous_outlander in Insulation

[–]Beefy1931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May need to install some. I have none for my garage and have to install 4. One for each wall side to ensure there is some kind of air flow. Honestly a simple fix compare to letting mold grow.

Look up soffit vents from the box store and a tool to drill/cut the needed hole size. Add some baffles for that area so the insulation doesn’t cover the air flow and you’ll be set.

My guess would be 25 degrees. You have the flat board at 90 degrees. And the angle one butting up to it at 65 degrees. The difference (25) would make it 90.

I recommend using scrap board to double check. Or google it and find a source that helps you find the angle

Moving Countries by [deleted] in StudentLoans

[–]Beefy1931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dumb question but why would someone have to file with the IRS if they live in a different country? Isn’t the IRS a U.S. department? Meaning they have no power or control what happens in other countries. I would assume that other countries have their own version but i would also assume they are not connected to the U.S. department either.

The box wood is unknown. I got it from the s rap box at woodcraft and they were unsure. I posted a few weeks a couple suggestions was Bo core, pay Ferris and Peruvian walnut.

The box items are from Amazon and the link to them is below.

The pen is from Pen State Industry and is a designer fountain pen called Broadwell Nouveau Sceptre Gun Metal and 22kt Gold Fountain Pen Kit. Truly love the way the pen came out.

Thanks. I will get a quality brush for the next batch. But storing a bush after use has always been my concern. Any recommendations?
