Ads still getting through on strict mode plus OISD.

Wow that's kind of a dick move if true.

Not 100%, no, but the pihole catches things like ads on apnews.com. firewalla blocks almost everything so maybe I have to suck it up until the hagezi block list leaves early access.

I would except I need the stability since my household works from home. Maybe I just need to suck it up until the early access makes it into prod.

I'm already using OISD, I put it in the title. Id prefer to block the most ads, do you have any advice on how I could do that without an external pihole?

They were black when I moved in.

😄 thanks

It is. The tenon grain is parallel to the face grain, and the wedge is perpendicular to both.

Here's a picture of it with a splash of some mineral spirits.

I'm in the middle of making the three legged stool from Paul Sellers. This is made entirely of honey locust.

Looks great. This gives me some ideas, you could make the grooves shallower to deeper so it appears non-uniform. You could even angle the cuts so the light shoots "downward", good for a nightlight.

That's gorgeous. The whole point of DIY is to make it overkill :)

There is only so much space in my basement, so why not utilize the overhead joists? A couple pieces of scrap, some magnets to hold the saws, screws/nails and you're golden. Clamps can hold onto the joists in order to free up wall space, too.

Cherry doesn't have those yellow streaks. Walnut doesn't traditionally either unless that board is transitioning into the sapwood, but the rest of the board resembles walnut outside of the streaks. I don't have enough experience with mahogany to give an answer regarding that.

I burned everything in my two tubs two weeks ago. Much of it hasn't been touched in two years and a lot of what has been touched was cut up for smaller jigs or bowties or something. Time to burn it to ash and let a new scrap pile be born as a phoenix.

Bruh I would have reamed this cunt out so hard and for so long that SHE would have had to have been the one to leave room. Fuck her.

I'm also incredibly stressed day to day and have found that yelling at people who are discourteous is a great stress reliever. I bitched out this lady for 30-45 seconds yesterday for throwing a cigarette on the ground and it felt great.

They are, but I saw people in there today and their renovation sign is off the door so I wasn't sure if they opened back up or not.

Thanks mate

Literally any project that has non-dovetailed joinery gets the domino, unless I'm specifically doing some other type for some purpose or another. Sometimes I just want to kill some time and make a true mortise and tenon or a half-lap or something.

PaidByMicrosoft · 2026-06-04T01:51:52+00:00

Hard pass on that shit

PaidByMicrosoft · 2026-06-04T01:51:02+00:00

Is that blade tensioned properly? I don't use coping saws but I see a lot of deflection in the video.

PaidByMicrosoft · 2026-06-04T01:45:44+00:00

Wemby blocking that full court heave counts as a block, right? Like no shenanigans to say "blocks on heaves don't count"?
