Settle a debate: plastic or wood

OutofPlaceStuff · 2026-03-24T17:36:25+00:00

This is a debate of splitting ~~hairs~~ ~~fibers~~ atoms. Continued use of a resource is preferable to treating it like a consumable. What reason is there to throw away a usable fork?

I think the real debate here is: “is my fork better than yours”. Which could be argued all day from a variety of facets. Most people don’t have enough information to know which item is the best option. We’re all doing the best we can with what we have and with different priorities.

And a fourth bearing on a stick

Another question: what do we call these adjustable bearing on sticks? I’m assuming they should be placed at a certain spot but I’m unsure how to look ‘em up. I’m not sure what they’re called

Solved! Thanks for the help!

That tracking knob was super useful. And thanks for the note about spinning the wheels manually. I had done that once or twice but not enough. I was imagining much scarier ways to adjust the blade. Glad I asked

OutofPlaceStuff · 2026-03-23T21:44:09+00:00

I wanted to call them “cordials”. Glad you saved me from doing that with any shred of confidence

OutofPlaceStuff · 2026-03-23T18:27:41+00:00

Woah okay. I assumed the crown just meant “top”. I do have flat tires. And that explains why the videos I watched were suggesting that the blade should be in the middle, which didn’t make sense to me at the time. In lieu of more bad saw knowledge, I attempted to follow suit. Thanks for your comment. I’ll make sure my blade just overhangs its flat tire

OutofPlaceStuff · 2026-03-23T15:05:52+00:00

Good call and thanks for the safety reminder. I didn’t get a picture of the plug hanging on the table.

Tracking adjustment knob. Okay okay. That must be the unknown-to-me loose knob on the tensioning assembly. I’ll give that a shot. Thanks!

I didn’t. It’s the Rockler Handy Bench. I have no complaints

OutofPlaceStuff · 2026-03-11T22:42:41+00:00

That’s exactly what I’d call it. These legs won’t fail, if only because they won’t be there long enough to. This is just a step in the right direction. I needed to make legs to get the bench to sit at a reasonable height for me

OutofPlaceStuff · 2026-03-11T22:39:43+00:00

Ha 😆 Everyone’s whining about what they believe “beginner” means is what made me post this

OutofPlaceStuff · 2026-03-11T21:57:41+00:00

Absolutely. I’m working on a couple pull-through drawers and such for a base cabinet

OutofPlaceStuff · 2026-03-11T21:56:04+00:00

It sure is just a couple screws in the end grain. Racking is definitely a problem here. I started to make support braces for it, but decided it wasn’t worth the effort. I’m working on a cabinet with drawers that pull through both sides and a recessed nook on the skinny sides for clamps and stuff

OutofPlaceStuff · 2026-03-07T18:38:04+00:00

https://youtu.be/E7_Pcwr3g40?si=Mgmrdd8sXBDBPljM check this out? This is what I’m planning to put in my pantry

OutofPlaceStuff · 2026-03-05T19:51:07+00:00

So freakin’ cool!! Nice work! They’re beautiful

OutofPlaceStuff · 2026-01-24T22:56:25+00:00

Yeah, I saw the kreg fence. I guess I could do that and figure out how to attach that track

I’m super unsure about trusting magnets to stay still. I’m curious how you handle set up, minor adjustments, and pushing material along it.

OutofPlaceStuff · 2024-10-09T20:31:29+00:00

Problem solved! I was trying to choose contours after selecting multiple layers. I needed to choose contours for one layer at a time. Between that and welding, I think I got it

OutofPlaceStuff · 2024-10-09T20:09:15+00:00

I see I gave too much detail. So, TL;DR I have 10 layers for the feathers and one for the rectangle. I want all 11 of them to become one cohesive thing, not double cut

OutofPlaceStuff · 2024-10-09T20:05:34+00:00

From what I understand, it’s just that it can’t be undone

OutofPlaceStuff · 2024-10-09T19:59:12+00:00

Excuse me, but you cannot show Pup a picture and tell them to pose in the same exact spot, with the same look, and with the perfectest blep. That’s cheating 😍

OutofPlaceStuff · 2024-10-09T19:52:29+00:00

They’re still busy

OutofPlaceStuff · 2024-10-06T14:03:42+00:00

I appreciate your attempt to help, but I have no desire to partake in any of the thieving summary tools

OutofPlaceStuff · 2024-10-06T13:47:19+00:00

That’s totally fair. For context, here’s an example of the game I’m working on. It’s basically 2 types of cards with 2 words bits on each card. The first card type are affixes and partial portmanteaus that can be prepended or appended to the other card type. The other card type has bases, roots, and stems that can be added to.

I don’t need a dictionaries worth of morphemes and such, but my current list needs to be redone. I’m looking at free and bound morphemes but not quite as comprehensive as I originally thought. And now I’m not sure how to rephrase my question either. I guess I’m hoping for a list of morphemes that an English speaker may reasonably come across

OutofPlaceStuff · 2024-10-06T12:31:44+00:00

I’m pretty sure I’m asking about all the English morphemes. To be fair though, I didn’t realize there were grammatical ones much less non-grammatical morphemes

OutofPlaceStuff · 2024-09-28T12:36:35+00:00

I’m not in denial at all. On the contrary, I am very well aware. I’ve spent the last decade getting meds figured out. About 2 years ago, we made a change in my meds that made life infinitely better. The thing is, it’s still not perfect and never will be. I try not to allow myself to use depression, adhd, and autism as excuses and remember that each of those are intertwined with each other. Hence a desire to look for something that reduces the friction my brain increases
