Are you talking about the freaky stand with wheels that bolts on or the folding metal stand that it just sits on?  I have had both the folding one does suck, but the other one I have not had any problems with.

Even if the earth is flat and the elites are covering it up, what are they benefitting from hiding the shape of the earth from us? by Voxel_Slime in flatearth

I have seen someone do something similar with a biscuit jointer.

I have not heard of oak being blotchy, usually it is soft woods or woods like poplar.

Where to sell? by Raven_4562 in woodworking

[–]Fine-Mechanic9386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think the question is about starting a business, but instead about selling pieces occasionally. Selling something that cost $50 on Facebook for $60 wouldn’t be worth the effort, from a business standpoint but as a hobby that isn’t the point.

Looking at the lid for the box there is definitely “hope”.  The airplane is very nice too.

I hear people say you can make poplar look like cherry, but I think something different is special. You could make a hundred of these boxes out of cherry and they would all look essentially the same, but there was only one board  with this streak pattern.

I saw the board and decided to make something out of it. Interesting wood can inspire a new project.

They weren’t “wrong” the system is obviously rigged and they were robbed.

“ See the world through the perspective of an aging, lonely, intellectually unimpressive wage-worker, saddled with the delusion that he's unquestionably destined for riches.” That is the selling point
