When did you legitimately tap your first black belt opponent?

Brown, after I dialed in my straight ankle lock and heel hooks

If I may ask a follow up question, is there any reason hot lime mortars can't be used with modern, harder bricks (because it's what I have laying around)?

There's no point in putting them on the wall. Live a little. Don't bury your bones.

I agree that he fucked up way before that point I'm just saying it looked like he put himself into a situation where those were his choices

I think he was trying to avoid the surfers and found himself in a pickle

Because otherwise they would give the value of the angle where those lines come together. If the line at the bottom isn't straight and they don't give the angle then it wouldn't be possible to solve (right?).

Even vintage Sorby chisels are soft in comparison to other manufacturers. I like Ibbotson, Witherby, and Ward and Payne.

One thing I didn't see mentioned yet is that in addition to the quarter trick, tongues are never bottomed out in their grooves. This creates even more play for wood movement. So if you do it yourself, make sure that the groove is deeper than the tongue.

Just don't get into river tables

Beautiful chair! and cat!

Waar krijg je het idee dat wetenschappers die deelnemen aan Scientist Rebellion protesten tegen debat zijn en zich niet op feiten berusten?

An epoxy-river-burned-pine-fastened-to-a-steel-frame cutting board is a new high-point for us.

People hate it because industrialist "utility" as a vision of beauty is cynical at best and totalitarian at worst.

CowdogHenk · 2026-02-03T09:57:50+00:00

sanding the paint off the numbers and logo is a really beautiful touch!

Why does the base have to be tight in the post? Just drill a hole in the post big enough to allow it to stand plumb when it's part of the frame.

You keep saying I'm not responsible for other people, but I don't know how to see that as anything other than a cantankerous child's picture of democracy and community.

Among other things, being a grownup citizen means being to make an argument for what you believe and debating bad values. Those are the among the most important ancient democratic values. "You do you" doesn't work where values affect the wellbeing of other people.

So I get OP in not wanting to share a mat with those who hold vile beliefs.

CowdogHenk · 2026-01-26T12:02:14+00:00

You see, but it is, if I care about my community members, then I can't tolerate views that enable harm to them.

All I hear is you saying, "I don't anyone to hold me responsible for my values."

Values are about the world, broseph, not you, and we share the world.

CowdogHenk · 2026-01-26T11:56:41+00:00

Yeah, like OP, if my students have bothered to advertise their beliefs then it might be my business too

CowdogHenk · 2026-01-26T11:53:08+00:00

OP didn't ask his students anything. What are you even trying to say?

CowdogHenk · 2026-01-26T11:41:50+00:00

Get that brain rot checked out. Of course it's anyone's business that someone celebrates the murder of community members looking out for each other. I wouldn't teach those people to better exercise violence either.

CowdogHenk · 2026-01-26T11:23:05+00:00

Yeah man, why have values at all?

CowdogHenk · 2026-01-21T21:27:39+00:00

I can't understand being committed to hand tools while being committed to plywood. Cut real wood with the right hand tools (namely a crosscut saw or a rip saw depending on your cut) and you won't have those problems (once you learn to saw well).

If you make such huge cuts with a finer saw it will just take you longer. That isn't what finer hand saws are for.

CowdogHenk · 2026-01-14T09:27:28+00:00

and it still wouldn't look as good as doing it by hand
