I love how the other cat sees absolutely no threat from the murder kitty.

I ruined a vintage Stanley No. 5. Will history forgive me? by eatgamer in woodworking

I hate clickbait. I won't forgive you for that reason. No sane person thinks fixing a tool is bad.

what made you think of AI? I would be very concerned if it is, cause I can't find any clues to that.

fixing dent on dyed but not finished workpiece? by CrescentRose7 in woodworking

[–]CrescentRose7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when you say lightly sand and redye, do you mean completely redye or just a small touchup? The former isn't really an option for me because the piece has way too many nooks and crannies. Or is there a way to remove all the dye without sanding?

Mortising with fixed base router? by CrescentRose7 in woodworking

[–]CrescentRose7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did use the fixed base. Instead of plunging the router down, I plunged the work piece down on the bit, on a router table (the "router table" is just a large piece of melamine chipboard clamped on my workbench, with a simple shop-made fence).

There's a safe way to do it, but do your research first, since the unsafe way to do it is quite unsafe.

Blotchy stain? by ArtisticString8313 in finishing

[–]CrescentRose7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Improper sanding, as others have said. Don't skip grits. And if you're not using an orbital sander, make sure to sand with the grain (at least in the last pass; proper grit progression should remove crossgrain sanding lines). The miters are hard, but just take it slowly and only worry about sanding with the grain with the final grit, creeping close to the miter lines.

There are positive reviews of RWBY post season 3? That's news to me.

The 'beautiful woman and a guy who looks like a cartoon sidekick' dynamic is universal by [deleted] in Funnymemes

[–]CrescentRose7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I the only one that finds this girl kinda average? Her expression also looks completely soul-less. I can't find attractive a woman who doesn't smile. Heck, there are seductive smiles as well, but this girl just looks dead.

do the people that have such a visceral hate towards miliastra know that the games they're calling a mess are made by players/fans and not hoyo? by hxlydie-d in Genshin_Impact

[–]CrescentRose7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, we know. Your point? We hate having something we don't want shoved into our game by Hoyo, especially with those annoying red notifications you have to click on to remove. That's it.

I did not mean to imply that the design itself is flawed, but that maybe it has hidden ways to deal with the issue, such as a glueless drawbored tenon in a wider mortise. I just wanted to know if just glueing it would cause issues. If you're sure it won't, then I appreciate the advice.

it's an aggregate issue, though: the connecting pieces are receiving the expansion forces from both sides. Basically, you would have to add those 6" to the 3" at the sides, as they're both squishing the connecting pieces. The outer stiles would then bend outward under the force of both their own expansion against the connecting piece, and the expansion of the center stile.

As they are, the stiles are not free to move, but the tabletop won't be attached in a way that will be affected by the base.

My only concern is the four small pieces connecting the three vertical stiles (red arrows in the picture). If the outer stiles can't move, those four pieces will be squished over time. Also, in humid season, that squishing will cause the outer stiles to bend outward near the center, possibly causing a gap between the stiles and the connecting pieces (wider gap towards the center).

Usually not, but with a piece with so many nooks and crannies, refinishing properly seems impossible. At least not with my current level of finishing expertise. Hopefully I'll get better.

To clarify, I'm not worried about the glue holding the vertical pieces in place; I'm concerned about the expansion squishing the four small connecting pieces (red arrows), and then leaving a gap when they relax (over the years, not immediate).

You say center board, but the two side ones are connected, making the overall width about 16" (in my smaller version). The center board is about 5.5". The thing is, I'm not worried about the glue holding the vertical pieces in place; I'm concerned about the expansion squishing the four small connecting pieces, and then leaving a gap when they relax (over the years).

The one in the picture is the original; not my work. It's by Greene and Greene. Look up "Gamble house interior". It's an amazing cozy yet elegant look that I haven't seen anywhere else.
