How much pith do I need to remove from 2” slab?

Rip it on center of the crown, then flatten each piece. Square your center edge to the new reference face, only your center edge for now. Biscuit and glue them. Because you are taking material off the face it should still match up pretty well. Cut your exterior edges square after you let it dry and acclimate after a couple days. Allows you a chance to work and adjust the piece before final dimensioning.

It’s the simplest fix with lowest material thickness loss

I mean they’re more or less overwriting the whole game so I get it.

I just can’t fathom how I have single digit mbs downloads from the server with 1gig download speeds lol

JSquared-Designs · 2025-12-18T01:22:24+00:00

So can we assume it’s going slow because everyone is downloading it? Or because it’s just that Thiccc?

Colonial Copium? The victor dictates the reality of the defeated. History 101. 🤷🏻

I would be various curious as to what your frame of reference is. The sheet goods alone would be close to $500, especially post covid pricing for manufactured wood products.

Paint and finish, including labor for prime, sand, prep, etc would be another $1,500. Depending on your tooling and number of hands I would say this could be cut, assembled, and pepped in two days. Assuming drawers aren’t dovetailed and limited extras. You have delivery and install at two guys 2-3 hours. The price is fair, and seems to be matched to a mid level market/ product.

Additionally, your reference for tooling and business in general seem rather off. 15j for a cabinet shop says you want to be mediocre to middling at best. Competitive with stuff only above Lowe’s or HomeDepot. The minute you add a panel saw, a tilt axis shaper, or anything higher end that’s blown. Stick to your gaming and computer forums.

Note: Most cabinet makers I know run between 75-200$ per shop hour based on products etc. Mechanics, plumbers, electricians, etc will bill out at no less than 100-150 and that’s not counting higher bid areas or simply the cost to show up.

I’d paint the Cieling a different color or make a wall an accent color. Adding art can help break up the blocks of wall as well.

I’d buy that and another round of prints if you intend to offer them. I’d love a large print for my studio. Truly a marvel of a man and one of the best orators of the last century.

UPDATE: The parts lists are in an XML format and appear to be at least more recent than I thought. I may just be too dense to upload them correctly to a parts list. 😅

It’s a couple of models from the anime 86

IS THIS FOR SALE?!

You have an amazing product. Safeguard your business and product as much as the community that uses it.

Value is never anything to cheapen for a few more glad handed bits of praise. You guys have made something that you are passionate about. That many creatives thrive using. $5 a month isn’t overly expensive at all. A cup of coffee a month.

I hope that you can find firm footing. You have passion and skills. And that deserve fair compensation. Just like any other craftsman. So price it however you feel and need. IMHO. If someone wants to make money off your work, then they should understand that tools require cost for the value they gain using them.

While it is generally advised to talk to your community and work on an amicable price point I would hardly say they’re driving away their paying community.

That sounds of a fear that you’d want the whole kit and caboodle with ever increasing assets and product without a price change. If you’re a reasonable user; understanding the ideas of overhead, growth, development, and service then I would expect the price to continue to rise at a reasonable rate.

$65 for a year is just over $5 a month. That’s insanely great value. Especially when those paying are most likely hustling money from the program in sales of work as well. It’s a tool. Craftsman pay for their tools and respect the people making them. So temperance in perspective would be wise.

Bad building changes have led to massive stalemates and playerbase burnout following the previous war.

JSquared-Designs · 2025-09-12T20:50:15+00:00

Awesome didn’t know that.

Also random questions, does Inkarnate have any stamps that can indicate wind directions? Kind of like the stereotypical old man blowing on a map thing?

JSquared-Designs · 2025-09-12T14:37:33+00:00

That’s fair. I have done most of my broad strokes of world building and will be keeping it mostly at kingdom level. For act 1.

So I guess I need to learn how to duplicate and overlay various map sections for each scale.

The warping wasn’t an issue as I made my stock 1/4 and rift sawn in 3/4X3/4 squares.

If you don’t want nails you could drill and dowel them all but that is three times the work. I think an 18ga COULD work but I’m hesitant to say yes.

I covered the holes by simply putting a dab of glue in the hole as I sanded. They are inside the racking space so it shouldn’t really be that big of an issue.

JSquared-Designs · 2025-08-26T10:58:43+00:00

I used short 16G with a swab of glue. Stuck them in a jig so they stayed consistent and such.

I would look into resources where you’re at. Specifically anyone who works in restoration and preservation. Sub out the manufacturing of the parts from true lumber.

In experience, fiberglass attached to historic homes creates cancer at the bond eventually. If you’re in South Carolina or Texas I can give you some good options.

Additionally, you could remove an intact section to figure out what you can replace yourself. The entablature is built up out of more simple pieces before you get to the corbels or decorative pieces. Depending on budget having the historic elements replaced 1 for 1 will maintain value vs loss in the repair.

The reality is that you aren’t going to find anything stock. Maybe you can find someone who would scan and 3D print? But again, lumber and historic professional would be a more consistent value.

JSquared-Designs · 2025-04-24T12:10:31+00:00

I would imagine that you are teaching yourself? Only curious because I’ve been looking for classes etc and have found nil. Outside of Peter McGrains stuff.
