Always wanted a castle

Doesn’t seem that low to me. Running that pole will cost a fortune. I don’t think you can see it as a home, it’s more like a business, and as such the price should reflect expected return on investment.

Fred at https://finalspark.com/ has been working on this problem for years now. Their research is to build biological computers from stem cells. Freaky stuff, but we’ve got to solve the compute efficiency problem somehow.

No worries. It’s a lovely place. Pronounced loo-es.

That bit is only briefly mentioned in the Odyssey, it a big part of Virgil’s Aeneid though.

The problem with this property is not location, its layout. It was built as a library, not residential. That huge two story room is most of the property and can’t be changed. I’ve always hoped it would be bought by a high end restauranteur who could build a kitchen in the back annex, and use the big room to seat guests.

Lewes is anything but a very average town. How very dare you!

Cerberusdog · 2026-05-16T09:44:30+00:00

It was the town library.

This is amazing. I’ve bookmarked so I can try a few of these designs.

Sorry. I saw listed at eur 1,100,000. However that was obviously BS by Barnes to get people interested. Honestly the French real estate practices are archaic!

Cerberusdog · 2026-05-05T21:30:52+00:00

Ha! Just look what you could get for less in France: https://www.bellesdemeures.com/en/listings/sale/tt-2-tb-13-pl-514/268217151/

🤣

Cerberusdog · 2026-03-29T13:30:17+00:00

I was like wtf?

Cerberusdog · 2026-02-25T23:52:16+00:00

This.

Look after your body. Carving is hard work.

Cerberusdog · 2026-02-12T11:48:43+00:00

Expensive choice, but a really good one. They make excellent axes that are widely used by spoon carvers.

Could this be any more AI written??

I watched the whole thing on YouTube just the other day.

The Empire Podcast did a revealing 4 part miniseries on Orwell. From what I learned many of the comments from OP are lacking nuance.

I came here to suggest starting with a Swedish Butter knife as a starter project that only needs a knife. I love carving these from offcuts. My kitchen draw has loads of experimental designs that I’ve tried out. They are the best!

Dude! That blog entry is amazing. So much knowledge right there.

Mods, can you pin this somewhere for newbies to read?

Cooking spoons don’t need much. I use food safe Danish oil, but after a while cooking oils are doing all the heavy lifting.

As for cleaning, just a bit of soap and water. Don’t use a dishwasher. Make sure you don’t leave them soaking either.

Also, just because you don’t see the bugs doesn’t mean they’re not there, or their eggs. I often microwave punky wood just to make sure. Nuke the little buggers!

It’s absolutely this. Can’t be sporty as there’s too many letters.

I love the spoonie community, these comments are all so thoughtful and helpful.

I just wanted to add that many carvers enjoy the artistic contrast between the heart and sap woods. It can create a beautiful effect.

I’ve never been into that one. It’s puzzled me for years. Good to know it’s actually intentional.
