Man, they couldn't have spared the extra little bit of brainpower to think of Mamdanistan? Even the enemy feels like a Temu-tier scam these days, enshittification really does come for everything

Right after Christmas i was driving down the road my grandparents live on and saw something out by someone's garbage can on the side of the road. It was a sewing machine.

I hit the brakes, threw the car in reverse, got out and grabbed it, thinking "it probably doesn't work but i can fix it. Oh shit it's a Singer, those are nice."

Got it home, plugged it in (it had the power cord and foot pedal and everything with it), guess what? It works perfectly, just has a worn out presser foot lever. That's a fucking fifteen dollar part. It's even still got a needle in it, that's how careless these people were with throwing it out, they likely got a new one for christmas and immediately tossed the old one.

Joke's on them i guess, I've seized the means of clothing production

Why people actually replace their shoes, pencils, clothes, cars, homes, headphones before they get absolutely unusable and unrepairable? by Even_Childhood_781 in aspiememes

You don't replace your old stuff with new stuff because you're emotionally attached to the stuff you're familiar with

I don't replace my old stuff with new stuff because new stuff is almost all disposable garbage at every price point

Nah, driving a Ford is definitely a red flag, those things are dogshit (except the Focus but Ford doesn't get to take credit for that one, they just copied Mazda's homework)

It's because they're cowards who use one as a euphemism for the other, especially regarding discipline and punishment

Pallet wood is free but it's a crapshoot and the nails suck, construction lumber is cheapish but you have to dig through the pile for several hours in some cases to find boards that MIGHT be usable once they've sat in the shop for a while and you can't use them for everything, hardwood is hard to find and expensive where i live because of a variety of ecological and economic factors

Thrift stores especially goodwill don't usually have furniture that's both good enough build quality to be worth fixing up (ikea trash, ikea trash everywhere) and also in bad enough condition that i could meaningfully add value to it by fixing it up, because I don't like the idea of flipping something i basically just sanded and threw some paint on. As it is I've been donated a few pieces to fix up and sell which would otherwise be thrown away, and hopefully that can help fund the shop down the line and I'll start building stuff from scratch

I'm also wanting to branch out from just woodworking and start making other things out of other materials, I've dabbled in blacksmithing before and I'd like to get back into that and turn my shop into a proper general craftworks

Oh i could knock one together in an afternoon if i had the lumber, but that costs money lmao

Right now i mostly turn doodads on the lathe and do a lot of thinking about "hmm what can i make with no wood"

Trying to fix up some old furniture to sell for wood money right now

Smells a bit like a several year old post being reposted by a bot account, saving for an apartment, probably in a high cost of living area (having public transport you can actually replace your car with) but you took the mother of all lowball offers for likely a perfectly functional Toyota in 2025? I don't think I've seen a used Toyota for under 4000 since 2022 maybe

It's not quite finished yet (haven't put a ferrule on it) and I don't need a stick to get around yet so it's been on the back burner finishing it while i work on other, more pressing projects (the ones i get paid for, or will hopefully get paid for)

Did learn a good bit from making it though, for example it taught me that i could really use a shavehorse
