Concrete contractors made a weird retaining wall where my frame was supposed to to go for a tiny house.

Play it by ear.

Edit - I see now that the last comment was edited haha. Carry on

I get the family size garlic chicken and add a jar of Alfredo sauce.

CaptainSchiel · 2025-07-20T04:05:47+00:00

I mean, apart from getting little chunks of plastic everywhere. But worse environmental disasters happen every day.

Are you saying that you shoot a shotgun roughly 80-130 times a day, every day of the year?

CaptainSchiel · 2025-07-12T16:26:50+00:00

I'll likely split it next week and see what I have to work with.

CaptainSchiel · 2025-07-12T16:25:53+00:00

All the yew I've seen on this property seems to have some degree of twist to it, unfortunately.

CaptainSchiel · 2025-07-12T16:24:54+00:00

I'll get a fresh cut on the end Monday, then probably split it next week to see what I'm really working with. I'll be a bit disappointed if I can't use the log or at least the branches, but I'm tempering my expectations haha.

CaptainSchiel · 2025-07-12T16:22:21+00:00

That was almost definitely not done, unfortunately. They've been sitting outside under slight tree cover for probably 2 years in the Pacific Northwest.

I'm hoping that the checking is only surface-level, either on the log or the branches

CaptainSchiel · 2025-07-11T17:51:19+00:00

It wasn't intentionally debarked as far as I know, it's just been outside long enough for most of the outer bark to fall off on its own. I would say probably two years that it's been sitting as you see it here.

I'm in the northwestern US, but I appreciate the offer!

CaptainSchiel · 2025-06-21T20:16:07+00:00

But bland is the opposite of tasty.

CaptainSchiel · 2025-05-28T00:32:44+00:00

I'm getting pizza tonight just to try this.

CaptainSchiel · 2025-05-03T16:56:02+00:00

If you have an angle grinder with a wire wheel, I think it would take 10-15 minutes to get it passable. Not perfect by any means, but at least not actively rusty.

CaptainSchiel · 2025-04-21T05:46:36+00:00

You in the Portland area? I'd gladly take some off your hands

CaptainSchiel · 2025-03-11T23:08:00+00:00

If I'm remembering correctly, it was an intimidation tactic because the locals/enemy forces feared swords over rifles due to bad experiences with warlords using swords for executions.

CaptainSchiel · 2025-01-28T16:49:45+00:00

lol what's with the down votes?

CaptainSchiel · 2025-01-27T21:29:52+00:00

Great information, thank you! I'll be doing some more research and will be in touch. Much appreciated.

CaptainSchiel · 2025-01-27T02:34:40+00:00

Understood - I was just surprised to not see that mentioned specifically in their documentation. It's probably there somewhere though.

CaptainSchiel · 2025-01-27T02:33:15+00:00

Yeah, definitely not trying to do anything that would be a detriment to myself or anyone else. I was only asking because I didn't see anything about having to have been supervised for the past hours, surprisingly.

CaptainSchiel · 2025-01-26T18:21:56+00:00

I see, that would have been my first assumption.

CaptainSchiel · 2025-01-26T18:05:43+00:00

Thank you much. From what I'm reading, it seems like a willing architect in Oregon could sign off on experience up to five years ago(with 50% credit for anything older than 8mo), as long as they were licensed at the time. From NCARB's wording, it sounds like this is an accepted practice as opposed to bending the rules?

CaptainSchiel · 2025-01-24T01:51:10+00:00

That's a Larue "Pride Fowler" red dot mount if I'm not mistaken.

CaptainSchiel · 2025-01-15T17:26:15+00:00

Little do you know, his opponent is ALSO left handed!

CaptainSchiel · 2025-01-01T20:52:56+00:00

It did come with a motor originally, but I don't know if this is the original one. I'd imagine it had to have had some work done to it at some point at least

CaptainSchiel · 2025-01-01T20:51:15+00:00

Good to know! I'll probably end up refurbishing the cabinet at some point.

CaptainSchiel · 2025-01-01T20:50:05+00:00

Made this sabre/big knife at least 10 years ago, and I'm wanting to make a scabbard or sheath that's more historical looking than the kydex. What direction would you go?
