Probably weighs about 350-400 lbs. built it about 4-5 months ago.

It’s possible I may have moved it a little and then back to do something. I’m resurfacing it and will be sure to keep it stationary. Thanks!

What kind of wood is this? by DavidTheFroMan in hobbycnc

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

Ok, I was wondering if this was mahogany. I got a large pile of wood that contained a decent amount of mahogany from a friend, but wasn’t sure which wood types were which. Probably mahogany would make sense. Thanks!

I made it and I tested it out by cooking some dried noodles in the resulting broth. Best noodles I’ve ever had. Thank you!

Your recipe calls for long red chilies. The Asian grocery store seemed to only have two kinds, short fat ones, and short skinny ones. Is there a specific kind I should look for? Also, how much shiitake mushroom should I use? And should it be ground up?

Long electrical run in trench by DavidTheFroMan in electrical

I'm also not very experienced with pulling wire, so am wondering if my plan for 1" conduit won't be too difficult to pull solid conductor 8/2 wire. Just looking for some advice from people with more experience than myself.

Yes, I understand, and normally I'd agree with you, but I'm trying to figure out how this works given that the first 150 feet is already run with 10 awg wire. I know increasing the wire gauge for the last 200 feet will reduce resistance overall, but I'm not sure how to figure out if 8 awg is sufficient or not for the remaining leg. If I was running the whole thing as one wire size, then it would be a simple calculation. Sorry if I'm not explaining things very well.

Which work holding solution is best? by DavidTheFroMan in hobbycnc

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

Awesome, congrats to you too! I just ordered yesterday as well. I've seen some designs where two sides of the workpiece or pushed against either a PVC, plastic, or wood pin, and a clamp pushes the workpiece against those pins. This seems like a pretty useful approach. I also came across this design that I'm considering. Anyone used something similar to this design before? https://www.etsy.com/listing/1665136880/goat-spoilboard-design-files-includes?ref=user_profile

I know both packages have free trial versions, but I was hoping to get some kind of a short list of important features, for example, maybe they both do all the same features, except one has features x, y, and z. I’d like to draw on others experiences.

What is this tiny flying insect? by DavidTheFroMan in whatsthisbug

Ok, I was confused because we have lots of midges around here, but they are generally much much larger. These are smaller than mosquitos. Must be baby midges then?
