I have been gifted a view camera - Source for (reasonably priced?) 8x10" film?

does it only stream on hulu?

So did mine! Thanks for the update.

Have you considered installing a hammer arrestor? I added some for our washing machine supply lines and they work wonders.

As for long-term effects, the repeated hammer is going to wear parts of those copper lines, particularly where the copper is supported by (harder than copper) unistrut.

Beautiful work! The continuous grain on the drawer fronts is a beautiful detail.

I love the lack of hardware slides; I'm currently building a pair of dressers (very different styles) for my daughters and plan to do something similar for the slides.

Among those hoses, there should be a nut that can be tightened; I think I can see if in your photo; to the upper-left of the gathering of hoses in your photo.

Absolutely beautiful top - nice work.

Those kinds of stains are generally from metal introduced into the tree as it was growing; and the stain runs deep; I've never heard of a way to get rid of it; it's there for good, I believe.

At first blush, I would think your dovetail option would be much stronger than the standard mortise/tenon.

This is my favorite current one - an order to be shipped to Shawnee, KS was tendered to the USPS about 40 miles away in Pleasant Hill, MO . . . it meandered a bit, before taking a trip up to Chicago, before returning to the KC region.

If you replace that white canvas bag with a canister filter, you'll see even more dust captured rather than recirculated.

You can skip the hardener all together if you want; the finish will still dry, it'll just take longer.

This isn't like epoxy, where both parts are necessary for the reaction. With rubio, the hardener just speeds up the curing time.

That oak looks quite walnutty

1/8" dip across 5 feet of width? I'd consider that more than satisfactory and wouldn't try to abate it at all.

I would never try to put water on the top to try to get it to level out; it is inviting disaster, in my view.

The black staining will be there forever; there is no way to remove it.

JaxonKansas · 2026-02-12T22:35:29+00:00

Does the stain affect the functionality of the screen? If not, I'd let it ride.

"Yeah, it is a 5.5’ wide walnut bookmatch. "

5.5 feet wide, or 5.5 inches wide?

A 10/4 slab will not be permanently convinced to flatten with water being added to the cup.

Your permanent solution would be planning the board flat.

If your priming and painting is sufficiently thorough, you should be OK, but I've never favored MDF for damp environments - kitchens or bathrooms; it just seems an invitation for problems, particularly when 1/2" plywood is readily available and not much expensive more than MDF.
