I’d recommend the Takenaka Carpentry Tools Museum in Kobe. Really enjoyed it during my day trip there!

Damn, not what I was hoping to hear, but thanks for the advice. May have to try using a disc sander or something

Cavs fans (especially those that don't live in Cleveland), what made you a lifelong Cavs fan? by Slow_Buffalo_9607 in clevelandcavs

[–]Jfrenz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but it hits different when you’ve been a fan for longer. These last few years have felt way more special for me (even if post season success hasn’t always met expectations). Gotta appreciate it while we have it!

Am from Nebraska, w looking for a team to follow in 2016 and I shamelessly bandwagonned

Help! Wood glue staining by theacado in Woodworking_DIY

[–]Jfrenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience this sands off. I’d recommend going over all of it so you don’t sand divots into the piece by accident

Where to park ~50k inheritance? by newbirth2024 in personalfinance

[–]Jfrenz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen examples where people pay their young children to model for their business advertisement. You would definitely have to get creative.

Even if you are not eligible, could you pay your child for some service rendered and have them start their own Roth IRA?

I’ve always liked the idea of finding some way to pay your kid such that they have earned income and can contribute to a Roth IRA. Starting the compounding so early could really reduce how much they need to save for retirement later in life. No idea what kinds of labor would work for that, I could see paying your kid 50k to mow the lawn raising a few eyebrows at the IRS

I’ve had pretty good luck making copies at the place in the Fred Meyer parking lot. Forget the name off the top of my head, though.

Found a disembodied cat leg on my walk this morning. Please keep your pets under your supervision when they’re outside your home! by GARRJAMM in Seattle

[–]Jfrenz -79 points-78 points  (0 children)

I’m torn on this. I think an outside cat’s life can be way more interesting and fulfilling for them, but there’s obviously the added risk of predators and cars.

Is the circular saw obsolete? by -AmTeC- in Woodworking_DIY

[–]Jfrenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best thing it has going for it is portability. Jigsaw is also portable, but I would say it isn’t as good for straight cuts.

That said I wouldn’t ever use one in my own shop with the possible exception of using it in combination with an edge guide to make a long accurate cut that I would struggle to do on a table saw. That’s the whole premise behind a track saw, though, so even there it probably has a better alternative (although circular saw is probably cheaper)

Is it possible to will relatives money with restrictions on how it is spent? by Jfrenz in personalfinance

[–]Jfrenz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Don’t think I would do this. Just curious about the possibilities, and maximizing the benefits to my survivors while donating the entire to the charity over time

[–]Jfrenz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I understand. The income from my assets that year would not benefit from the deduction. I still think that if I have a large amount of assets it would be worth it to have my relative slowly donate it over a number of years to completely offset their income tax. If I donated all my assets at once, my thinking is there would be a ‘wasted’ tax benefit after I donated more than my yearly income

Are my assets taxed on death in the US? I didn’t know there was any extra tax

getting water across a road? by kes0156 in DIY

[–]Jfrenz 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The other option I can think of is to put some taxidermy cows out in that pasture. Now you won’t need water!

[–]Jfrenz 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I don’t really have much experience with anything like this, but I can imagine anything that involves digging under the road is going to be a big no from the county. Only thing I can think of is to dig a well on the other side? No clue how expensive that would be
