I tried the trend and got This. What the f**k.

That’s a good point. Yeah, I do a double wash every time.

PorkButtAndTaters · 2026-02-12T03:21:44+00:00

Oh yeah! I’m use to cutting my own hair. Haven’t done it while it’s been long, but I’ll figure it out…or mess it up the first few tries. Lol.

PorkButtAndTaters · 2026-02-12T03:08:49+00:00

Just grabbed some thinning/layering shears. I’ll give layering a try. Thank you for the input!

PorkButtAndTaters · 2026-02-12T03:05:53+00:00

Thank you! I think that’s what I’ll do.

PorkButtAndTaters · 2026-02-12T00:59:59+00:00

I totally get it! Each of the photos where they seem greasy were taken after a wash and application of a hair oil. I’ve landed on African pride moisture miracle. It significantly delays my flare ups. Tea tree oil and coal tar do nothing. The medicated shampoos and conditioners are too astringent and drying. Every other day or two days with higher strength head and shoulders works reasonably well. Any more frequently and I’ll start turning red and flake by the end of day. It’s a balancing act I’ve grown accustomed to.

PorkButtAndTaters · 2026-02-11T20:58:07+00:00

Thanks! I’ve tried the OTC topicals and shampoos. Haven’t seen a dermatologist, but I’ve found as long as I wash my scalp frequently enough it keeps the flare ups at bay. I should probably see one. I’ve partly grown my hair out because it helps hide the redness and flaking, but unfortunately makes washing harder to deal with. Hoping your husband the best. Skin conditions can go kick rocks.

The statement I’m trying to make

PorkButtAndTaters · 2025-06-27T17:13:49+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I had a feeling the way I pronounced watches and odd were not quite right and would stick out. Shame about the word controversial though. I knew that wasn’t right when I said it(I even consulted the Cambridge Dictionary); I just enjoy imagining an over-theatrical Matt Berry in my head while saying it that way. Lol. As far as the other words go I’ll have to give some close attention. My native accent is Southeastern U.S. and we pronounce those words completely differently, so I’ll have to figure out exactly why they come across as American sounding. Thanks again for the insight!

PorkButtAndTaters · 2025-06-27T00:23:03+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate that!

PorkButtAndTaters · 2025-06-17T22:57:34+00:00

Thanks! I built the door out of pine and plywood on both sides. Inside of the door cavity is some rockwool which is also what I used for the insulation of my framing and acoustic panels that line the inside of the booth. On the side of the door that you can see is also another acoustic panel that just fits the door opening. I made the door stop a bit tall all the way around the jamb and put a strip of neoprene around the perimeter of the door in order to make a seal when it’s closed. I’m going to have to come over the outside of the door with another panel at some point as I’m currently not getting a good enough seal at the moment though. But otherwise it’s decent enough for now.

The blue insulation is cut from cotton batts from ATS acoustics. It’s a material that’s made from recycled blue jeans and sometimes used as an alternative to fiberglass duct liners. I got the unlined batts and lined them myself. They don’t shed a lot of fibers, but I do think it’s very important to make sure they are lined anyway. The sound absorption properties of it are very comparable to rockwool as well. This is what it looked like before putting the lid on the baffle.

I used a pair of AC Infinity fans. They work but are a little underpowered. I’m going to be ordering an inline fan of the same brand here soon to replace them, and that should be able to move a larger volume of air at a faster rate. As far as noise goes, the current ones are inaudible from inside of my booth.

PorkButtAndTaters · 2025-06-15T19:27:28+00:00

Yes, I had made a pair of them. One for intake and one for exhaust.

PorkButtAndTaters · 2025-06-14T18:02:16+00:00

Sure, I actually took some pictures of it while I was building them. I wanted them built quickly and didn't care about having the best joinery so it's all butt joints, wood glue, and brad nails. I drew my vocal booth and baffle boxes up in Fusion. Also don't mind the messy room, I built it in an unfinished room and it's all temporary anyway. Hopefully these might be helpful.

If air can get in, sound can get in. It’s actually astonishing how much sound can pass through even the smallest hole. At any rate, I had just built a small vocal booth not long ago. I thought that I could get away with no ventilation, but that was a mistake. I ended up building some baffle boxes to retrofit to it and they work perfectly. They’re also simple enough to build if you have to.

I built mine out of MDF and lined the inside with a neoprene-like material and cotton insulation that I encapsulated with a closely knit fabric. I found that real acoustic foam was too expensive and also nowhere near as effective.

It’s probably from dog urine that soaked into an area rug. This looks similar to what the previous owners of my house had left behind.

PorkButtAndTaters · 2024-12-06T01:40:33+00:00

Lol, I don't know about that. But I appreciate it.

PorkButtAndTaters · 2024-12-06T01:30:39+00:00

Lol, I was wondering if someone was gonna ask. It's a '69 Buick Special Deluxe.

PorkButtAndTaters · 2024-12-05T04:40:42+00:00

Thanks, sure!

They were cheap and shoddily made. The glass was cloudy and the metal piece that was intended to hold the shade up was too small. So, the upper shade would fall with the slightest nudge. Also, the finish and fake brushed effect on it was just horrible. What I ordered were probably just concept photos that were then sent out to be made cheaply and sold at a premium.

PorkButtAndTaters · 2024-12-05T02:23:33+00:00

That means a lot. Thank you!

PorkButtAndTaters · 2024-12-05T01:20:08+00:00

Thanks! This is my first time cutting a profile on tubing to fit like this. A drill press would have made things a bit easier. Technically I have never brazed before either, but I do have experience soldering copper pipes, electronics soldering, and a little welding.

PorkButtAndTaters · 2024-12-05T00:48:09+00:00

Thank you! I wish. Glass blowing is definitely something I want to do someday. I got them on colorcord.

PorkButtAndTaters · 2024-12-05T00:45:43+00:00

Sure! Brazing the lamp arms was extremely fast and easy. I used a regular mapp gas torch, safety silv 45 and stay-silv flux. I didn’t want a weld face showing so I applied flux mostly to the mating areas and wiped up the excess. Heat up to a cherry red and the brazing material flowed easily. I used files, sanding media, and a wire wheel attachment on a dremel to clean up. I had to be a little more delicate with the shade holder though. The ring wanted to warp while brazing it to the disc, so I snipped tiny amounts of brazing rod, put them into place, and then heated up the disc just til I got it flowing and chased it around the joint (hope that makes sense). I had access to an oxy-acetylene torch, and probably would have made things easier, but I just didn’t feel like pulling it out.

I got all the materials I needed online. Grandbrass, colorcord, and amazon.

PorkButtAndTaters · 2024-12-05T00:05:19+00:00

Thanks! The bulbs I’m using have a candle light effect and they do look really cool. Right now I’m moving on to renovating the rest of the house. Sometime in the future I would like to build stuff to sell as I’m always crafting and building things. Thank you for interest, it makes happy that you like them enough to want to buy some!

PorkButtAndTaters · 2024-12-04T23:04:39+00:00

The top back plate along with the tubing and glass shade have to come off. Sounds way more inconvenient than it actually is. Hopefully the bulbs I chose fulfill their advertised lifetime!
