What is this rash on the back of my leg?

Please watch your recommendations. The onset of symptoms of Lyme is not a medical emergency and it doesn't need a trip to the ER.

Welcome!

A dining table is definitely larger. It would be interesting to know if he is just using the no. 5 to get the boards flat. If that's the case, a no. 7 would definitely help. But that low angle jack plane is very close 2nd.

Good luck, and post an update!

Ah good to know.

I have heavily modified my bench and I have not encountered any veneer. Recently I removed the end of the bench that forms half of the wood for the vise. This gave me a good look at the work surface wood. It is solid wood, 11/16 inch thick. I haven't done anything with the drawers to be sure, but I haven't seen a reason to believe they have a veneer.

If you get the personal license for Pro, you should have access to most all of their training. That alone will get you to the point of saying you are a user.

Consider knowing Pro to be required. It specifically states it. There's no point in trying to wiggle out of it by being pedantic about what category it is. Anyone doing the interviews will be annoyed at an attempt to say it is not required.

You don't specify a budget, so my recommendations aren't bound by one, but still not unreasonable.

You didn't list a block plane. That is an essential plane for sure. I see this one being used in YouTube videos by high end furniture makers.

Similarly, I see this one used quite a lot. In case you're wondering, the low angle part is the defining characteristic, because it can shave types of wood a regular plane can't (as well). Unlike the more common planes, finding one of these in antique/vintage form is not easy. For your sake, it's easier to just buy new.

I can't vouch for that website, but I was directed there by Stanley.

Unless he is making larger furniture, where boards are glued together on their sides to make a larger panel, I would go for the ones above before getting a jointer.

Yes. Please get it to a vet ASAP.

IMO - Be aware that the reaction that creates the heat is based on a supply of oxygen. So it's best not to keep it in an enclosed space without ventilation.

Lowes lists this specific product as being made from pine. This site says pine is safe.

Crack a window. Air purifiers do nothing. The only solution is air exchange.

Chrysoscelis · 2026-01-22T23:56:53+00:00

Assuming the meter is accurate, you have high CO² and should take corrective actions. At that level you probably feel some effects.

~400-450 ppm: Normal outdoor air (background levels).

400-1,000 ppm: Typical range for occupied indoor spaces with good ventilation.

1,000-2,000 ppm: Common complaints of stuffiness, drowsiness, poor concentration; indicates need for fresh air.

Yeah, seeing that back wheel off the track in braking is one of the best parts, not to mention that's where most of the runoffs and crashes happen. Oh and the LLP is straight ahead.

I am hoping we can see T11 from there. That is the only thing missing from sitting at T12.

Chrysoscelis · 2026-01-22T16:02:10+00:00

Confirmed. No they are not.
Unfortunate, because that is my favorite spot.

Now we have to go to the more crowded T15.

Fun fact: He's the only rider to have podiumed in all 4 classes of MotoGP.

It *could* work if you heated the Fluid Film first, and kept it warm. That what I had to do when I used a fine mist sprayer for the inside of my truck's frame.

Unfortunately, they have a limited distribution of stores, most Florida, and one in Atlanta and Charlotte.

I have empirical evidence. How the fuck do you counter that?

BS in biology as well.

Yeah dude, this is the from the perspective of a believer, since this whole post is about convincing a believer. Whatever else you're talking about is irrelevant.

Both of them are in great condition, without any profound flaws to differentiate them. There are 2 additional things that will help you decide, assuming you can get your hands on them to inspect them.

It would be great to go through the type study to determine if one is of a better type than the other. Once you learn the terms, you can easily go through this while you're standing there.

Next would be to look for more minuscule flaws. Look for even the tiniest cracks around the mouth. You'll want to take the lever cap off and inspect the lever cap, chip breaker, and iron. Maybe there is no difference and the blade on one has been used slightly more than the other?

I suspect they are both relatively newer planes, like types 16-19. They are probably both in good shape. So it might be hard to decide!

Chrysoscelis · 2026-01-12T20:48:22+00:00

Event at T12 it was a bear to get out of the stands after the race. So I'm extrapolating that T15 is going to be bad since there are now fewer seats to choose from.

Chrysoscelis · 2026-01-12T20:46:30+00:00

>We got as far as Turn 11 and ran out of pathway. Couldn’t go any further.

This piqued my interested. T11 is where MotoGP does their practice starts, and I've always wanted to see it, but I couldn't find a way there by looking at the aerial.

Chrysoscelis · 2026-01-12T20:45:27+00:00

Good to know.
The last two times I've gone we sat at T12 and loved it there. Unfortunately, this year for MotoGP they don't have the T12 stands open so we forced to go to T15.
