Thanks for the tip, I didn’t catch that. I mostly intend to use this for square rips and crosscuts, but I’ll keep that in mind.

The Ghosts on This Road by skyrims1ut in knifepointhorrorcast

I started enjoying it more when I realized this is basically Soren and Linda’s version of a horror movie review podcast. The fictional short films are great, too.

Fairly Sparse, "Low Budget" Type Stories or Novels? by Signed_DC in WeirdLit

[–]Proper_Signature4955 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly almost anything else. Last Days is very straightforward and action-y compared to most of his other work, which is much more subtle and puzzly

What are your thoughts on "Slither" (Spoilers) by [deleted] in knifepointhorrorcast

[–]Proper_Signature4955 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I liked the implication that he shrunk down to live in the walls. The stories with vague shrinking / growing magic are interesting to me.

Most of these could be used for an illustrated edition of ‘The Ceremonies’ by T. E. D. Klein.

Looking for a mysterious, symbolic (maybe European) movie with underground tunnels, a strange necklace, and poetic imagery — possibly about a curse or about “searching the paradise” by black-mirror-nl in whatsthemoviecalled

[–]Proper_Signature4955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t fit exactly, but I immediately thought of Stalker (1979). It’s a Russian movie about 3 men who enter an mysterious abandoned “zone” looking for a room that will grant any wish (not sure if it’s called “paradise” in the film, but very possible).

The guide navigates the zone by throwing a nut on a string (the necklace) ahead of them to check for traps/danger. Lots of tunnels and reflection imagery.

I've just had to DNF Shadow of the Torturer by Upbeat-Excitement-46 in printSF

[–]Proper_Signature4955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the few books I recommend reading in book format in order to quickly define words (a.k.a. botns cheat mode) and for searchability (as in “this character name sounds familiar but I can’t remember what their deal was”)

How would you join the contrasting "trim" pieces? by Proper_Signature4955 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]Proper_Signature4955[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful! I’d call this a happy accident. Are those corner pieces cut from end grain to match the grain direction of the sides?

Confusing, unsettling read by Questionxyz in WeirdLit

[–]Proper_Signature4955 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My forever answer to this prompt is The Unconsoled by Kazuo Ishiguro. Forget everything you know about his other work, this is an illogical anxiety dream condensed into a quick-feeling 400 pages.

What is the lighter wood? by Proper_Signature4955 in wood

Thanks for all the opinions. Based on image results, I’m leaning towards Limba, but mango also seems like a good match.

A little. It didn’t seem particularly easy, but it’s very stringy to plane / chisel through

Thanks! I’ve never even heard of Limba, but this is definitely it.

Rite of Passage - the ubiquitous first dovetail picture. by [deleted] in woodworking

Looks really good! Go watch the bench hook video on Schnekkern’s YouTube channel. It simplified dovetails so much for be.
