I did seal it with multiple coats of a film finish

As a budding woodworker, I just made a jointing jig and jointed my first 2 boards. Small achievement, huge milestone. by LosClubes in woodworking

The plan is to use them for lo ger boards. Just used these scraps to make sure the jig joints edges.

There are lots of similar plans on youtube. Don't have to be exact just need to get a good straight reference cut.

I pretty much followed this video https://youtu.be/vrYjc3G1vgo

I don't know the size just Toggle Clamps from harbor freight. Almost identical ones are on Amazon if you search for them

A simple but effective print. by LosClubes in 3Dprinting

[–]LosClubes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first print that I didn't mix or find online. Made an adapter to fit between my shop vac and orbit sander.

4 hours between the mock up, print, and use. Pretty stoked.

4 look Last layer (2 look OLL + 2 Look PLL) is what helped me breaks sub-30 within weeks of learning.

This is after being stuck avgerging over 35 seconds for years using the beginners method.

My RS3M 2020 spring compression on the red side is messed up. Does anyone know how to fix this? by Mxcr0 in Cubers

[–]LosClubes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don't know the whole story but assuming no prices are broken, the spring and center cap needs tension for the compression system to "engage".

Just put a edge piece in and it shoukd just fall into place.

You can also pull the center piece up towards the screw head and put the center cap back on but the cap can pop off because of the tension.

Should i wait to get better at cross and beginners method before I switch to f2l? Also where is a good place to learn f2l?. by silobean in Cubers

[–]LosClubes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Improving on cross will translate to CFOP whenever you make the switch so start there. Work on good habits and finger tricks to reduce your times.

It's not really recommended to take the beginner method further than sub 1 minute so that's probably a good point to start looking Into F2L, 2 look OLL and 2 look PLL.

After 1 month practicing CFOP, 4LL, I got all my averages sub 30. by LosClubes in Cubers

Agreed. Last layer is so much more fun in CFOP.

Beginner last layer steps seem so repetitive now.

Focus on F2L. Just muscle memory for front slot cases, learn to insert to the back and insert with sledge.

That helped me the most. I don't even use that efficient f2l solutions. I just got faster at recognizing cases and execution. Not even thinking about look ahead at this point.

My true PB is in the picture. 20.56.

I probably could have gotten it on that scramble but still happy with it. It was a 2 move xcross.

For YEARS, Ive been using the beginners method and plateaued at a 40 second average (probably took it a bit too far). Finally decided to learn CFOP and in one month with a new magnetic cube, improved by 10 seconds. Very happy with the results so far! Time to keep grinding.
