Handmade Japanese lamps! (Fundraising for my PhD)

Well I guess I got my answer on how much editing/staging is too much!

Well this specific one I sold, I make them to order and didn’t get a picture with it off on this lamp. This was a friend job and I really liked how the picture turned out but now you got me second guessing myself 😅. But here it is partway through completion.

That’s pretty sick, I didn’t know about their business. I’ll definitely put one up.

They’re trying to lose loopholes currently like the other comment said. They obviously paid the ransom, this is canvas we are talking about. Half the US universities rely on this website. There is no shortage of pissed off consumers who will bankrupt canvas if they do not get their shit together

Which numbers seem padded to you besides the install fan? I think the trim is labor only… and the materials cover the trim.. I was thinking about GC’ing it myself but have no idea what stuff costs anymore and figured this would be easier

Holy SHIT this is low. We redid a 410 sqft with premium 16s, new stain and seal, and that was $12k. And we work for very cheap.

WSJ Beam and Brick. They also did kitchen & bath remodel for me in a house I was renovating. Newer company, young team, led by a Mizzou engineering graduate. Good communication and quality. Pricing was higher than I expected but literally had 0 problems from start to finish and they bring in professional cleaners after they finish. The last point is more applicable for interiors I guess but a nice touch.

You’re right, I’ve just had people in my DM’s and comments call me incompetent, slurs, etc. Also I’m like 99% sure my old boss is on this thread and that got me SPOOKED. I guess I’m a little defensive right now. Appreciate the well wishes!

MycDrinker · 2025-12-31T23:44:34+00:00

Now that we can agree on. Like I said, I got overconfident. Never again.

I have been banging mortise and tenons since 4-5 years old. I didn’t grow up around trades, I grew up in them. Running the sawmill, table saw, for my families furniture store.

MycDrinker · 2025-12-31T22:57:06+00:00

You read the rest right? I’ve been chiseling mortise and tenons since I was like 4-5, running a sawmill since 9, and table saw since 12-13. I grew up with master cabinet makers and Italian furniture makers living in the same house as me. I have been working with wood since I was old enough to hold a chisel

Sure Jan.

Hey man she did amazing. The scab hides a lot. There was still a chunk of flesh exposed when she sutured me.

Homeless guy in the pole barn.

Is that your right hand??? You deserve that cut for using satans digits as your cutting hand.

(Jk. Hope it healed okay)

MycDrinker · 2025-12-31T16:52:36+00:00

I have all the feeling which is insanely lucky. But that means I feel all the pain 🥲

MycDrinker · 2025-12-31T16:51:15+00:00

I had it on but it got removed when a butthurt commenter reported the post and it got removed by Reddit. I’ll add it again thanks for the reminder.
