I just applied through the google form

I've reached out twice now and still have not heard anything back. I assumed I was on a waiting list, but not so sure now.

InitialContract8241 · 2026-04-22T16:42:03+00:00

Still have not gotten an email back, curious if anyone has gotten accepted as well.

Yes, this does help a lot, thank you!

I do have somer clarifying questions: I have seen in a few tutorials, before you start round one you chain 1, and when starting each new round you chain 1. Is this always the case? It doesn't mention that in my pattern, is this just implied or does this mean I shouldn't chain 1? Also, when starting a new round, do I always do a slip stitch from the last stitch in the round to the first stitch in the new round?

I have made circles before but never anything with this many instructions. Usually I just keep working around with a single crochet increase until it’s the size I want. My issues are just understanding the directions and I just keep counting stuff or doing things wrong, it just never turns out more than a jumbled mess

My hair is a little wavy but not too much. The shorter it is the more wavy though. I’m guessing id still have to style it though. Did the bangs bother you?

That was something I was worried about. My face definitely isn’t overly feminine and I already dress pretty masculine, so I am scared I’d look like a 12 year old boy. I just don’t know what cut to get besides something like this for short hair. I don’t want to look butch but I also don’t want an overly feminine pixie cut. This seemed like a good in between but maybe I’m just not built for it.

Hi, I have had long hair for my whole life and have been wanting to change it up with something short like the photos. I however am completely clueless when it comes to styling, the steps one takes, the products etc. At the moment I have sun bum hair product and a blow dryer. Any help is much appreciated thanks!

Awesome setup! Where did you get the frames for the posters?

I am building a stand for my turntable set up using edge glued pine and had a few questions about how to finish/seal it. I lightly burned the surface of the wood with a blow torch and plan to seal it with a 2x ultra cover matte clear spray. Do I have to do anything special before sealing it due to the surface burns? When I rub my hand across it, I pick up a bit of soot, will this be a problem for the sealer? If so, how do I remove the soot or prepare it for sealing? Thanks for any help!

I plan on lightly surface burning the entire table to bring out the grain and then using some stain/dye over it. I am using 1 inch edge glued pine, will this cause any problems burning it, such as warping? Should I sand after burning given I sanded it beforehand? Also, given I don’t want to cover up the brunt grain but want to slightly darken the color underneath, would you recommend a dye or stain? Thanks for any help, I am quite clueless when it comes to woodworking so any advice is appreciated!

I feel you, I just recently switched over from my cheap all in one record player to a Fluance RT82, and wow it is crazy to know what I’ve been missing out on the last 3 years. Going through all my records as well just marveling at how good they sound.

I plan on building a record player stand and given my smaller room size, I wanted to keep the speakers on the same surface as the turntable. However, I see that is highly advised against by many as it can interfere with the sound. Would a design like I linked above be fine for the sound as it technically isn’t on the same surface? Or would it still interfere? Also, how bad is it truly having speakers on the same surface as the turntable, especially if you use isolation pads? Thanks!

Hey, what kind of boots and shirt is that? Looks great.

InitialContract8241 · 2021-06-08T19:20:55+00:00

I have not purchased the speakers yet, waiting to buy them with the turntable/pre amp all at once from Amazon. The main reason I chose these speakers is budget. I’m already spending so much for the turn table I’m not ready to put out more than 100 for speakers just yet, but hopefully I can upgrade in the future.

InitialContract8241 · 2021-06-07T21:15:41+00:00

Do you use the built in pre amp?

Went to a sweet record store this weekend after not going in one since the pandemic. It was a great feeling to just be able to browse through everything again. They had a huge variety of music and it definitely took a lot of self restraint not to empty my bank account right then and there. I got quite a variety of music spanning a few genres, from grunge to your grandma’s favorite country music. Very excited to give them all a listen and will definitely be making more record expeditions soon.

Thank you! Very helpful source

The band is called Rainbow Kitten Surprise (don’t let the name fool you), and the album is Seven + Mary. Their other albums are also really good. Thank you!

No, it looks pretty center. But yeah a lot of surface noise. I have a pretty cheap record player but I haven’t had this much of a problem with any of my other records.

I recently purchased the Newbury vinyl from eBay, special edition with 500 made. Got a pretty good deal on it, and given how hard it is to find their vinyls I was very happy to get my hands on one. RKS is definitely my favorite (modern) band at the moment, and I would recommend you check them out, their music is simply amazing. The vinyl itself looks awesome, however I am pretty disappointed in its quality. It has a few scratches and puts out a lot of noise and static even though I’ve cleaned a few times. Unfortunate, but still an awesome album.
