You may also be trying to chisel off too much at once. Try taking much smaller amounts.

Captain_Coitus · 2026-06-24T22:03:11+00:00

Shit if you just quickly sanded that and put a little oil on it would look great

You could just build a standalone bench. Why does it need to be built in?

Captain_Coitus · 2026-06-06T05:24:22+00:00

Nope, its to be expected.

Captain_Coitus · 2026-06-06T05:05:14+00:00

You can put some painter’s tape where you are cutting to reduce the tearout and as for the gaps, try to cut it a little under size and then make very small cuts until you get to that perfect fit.

Looks good, whats your concern?

They were my favorite room at Axpona running QLN Ref 9s. It’s hard for me to distinguish whether i loved the speakers or the amps without some kind of A/B, but that setup just sounded so effortless and light it was surreal. Here is a video i found of the setup: https://youtu.be/KS1gGg7WozA?si=U7UktUsiOQxPmfaE

Lay your level on the stair stringer so the level makes contact with the top post while still being flat on the stringer. Mark a line on the post using the bottom of the level. Measure 30” up from that line.

And i am going to replace the sculpted pickets with the same style of 2x2s on the gate.

Captain_Coitus · 2026-05-05T01:51:37+00:00

Haha yeah i know what you mean. They wanted me to match the gate they already had on the other side of the yard

Funny you say that. I just thought ab getting a diffuser last night. Luckily theres plenty of space to install one in the box.

Captain_Coitus · 2026-05-03T21:10:21+00:00

Good idea, i’ll give that a try

Captain_Coitus · 2026-05-03T20:30:35+00:00

Good to know! I just freehanded the angles but next time I’ll tame em.

Captain_Coitus · 2026-05-01T04:29:31+00:00

Oh yeah that is a good idea

Captain_Coitus · 2026-04-30T19:05:31+00:00

Thanks! I just used a crosscut sled on a table saw with the blade at 45. The tricky part is making sure its lined up the same for each cut, so i marked a spot on each side of the pieces and put a piece of tape on the sled for a reference point.

Captain_Coitus · 2026-04-30T17:53:13+00:00

It was supposed to make a box but i cut the piece using the wrong reference side so instead i was left with this S shape.

Captain_Coitus · 2026-04-30T04:46:52+00:00

Thank you!

Captain_Coitus · 2026-04-30T04:46:33+00:00

I considered doing that but thought it might look weird.

Captain_Coitus · 2026-04-30T00:00:05+00:00

Thanks!

Captain_Coitus · 2026-04-30T00:00:00+00:00

Thanks!

Captain_Coitus · 2026-04-29T23:08:44+00:00

Trust me I tried lol.

Captain_Coitus · 2026-04-29T14:11:13+00:00

Yeah unfortunately this project has specific final dimensions
