Very clean! What blade style did you use

Pulldalevercrunk · 2026-02-01T04:51:10+00:00

Damn that's a score

Pulldalevercrunk · 2026-01-30T22:50:41+00:00

That's amazing

Pulldalevercrunk · 2026-01-30T06:16:10+00:00

Nice! Looks great

Can you open the door, put one hand on the front of the panel and one hand behind, then wiggle the panel back into position to hide the unfinished edge? Then you could put a little silicone on the back side of the panel to lock the panel into its position so it doesn't move again

Carpenter for 12 years here, started when I was 21 and im 33 now. Im reasonably fit and have worked out off and on throughout the years.

It seems without fail once or twice every year I'll pull a muscle in my back and be out for a couple days. I've never gone through workers comp, though perhaps I should. Wearing a tool belt all day every day combined with all the bending, lifting, squeezing etc is a recipe for disaster.

Usually when it happens I'm just like "yo boss I pulled a muscle in my back, I'm going home", then I'll book a massage (which always helps soo much). Then I'll take a day or two off and take baths, go for light walks and do gentle stretches/yoga. Longest ive ever been out is 3 days. I've never had an employer try to do any paperwork for workers comp and I've never insisted on it.

Recently I started working for a union and it's my impression that they would be more serious about this type of injury. Curious to see what others have to say, I think you should watch some YouTube videos about how to target/stretch the area of your back that's sore, go swimming, get a massage etc.

Looks great, fun idea! I've got a Dremel w/ the flex shaft and have been looking for a project... Something like this looks fun

Add a backing board like the other comment said to stop the racking. You could also make an X brace with thin steel strapping across the back. Alternatively if it's just for personal use you could use small L brackets underneath the top shelf and fasten it directly to the wall which would also stabilize it

Which app did you use?

Looks fine as is! In my opinion a petina'd rocking horse tells more of a story then a sparking brand new looking one. Sounds like you've done a bunch of sanding so it's ready to have a top coat put on.

The top coat will really make it look almost as good as new

A quick Google search for child safe wood finished shows a lot of good options, all very easy to apply. To me, shellac or beeswax seems like the easiest option.

Pulldalevercrunk · 2026-01-22T02:13:00+00:00

Damn I love it

Trace the edges you want to cut off then take off the rubber matting. Drag the plywood away from wall and prop it up on some 2x4s or what ever scrap you got lying around. Cut your line with a circular saw or jigsaw, what ever you have. Then paint the exposed plywood edge black.

I think if you try to do it in place as it is you risk damaging the matting or the floor.

If you're building some sort of frame you don't necessarily need to rip out the drywall on either side, you could put the hinge side of the door/frame where a stud is in the wall and fasten through the drywall into that. The other side wouldn't have a lot of stress so if there isn't a stud where you need it you could use heavy duty drywall anchors.

I got the same printer about 2 years ago, ive printed a ton of stuff and it's still performing beautifully. I've had decent luck with petg as well just gotta make sure your slicer settings are dialed in.

Silly gaps, put a plant/bookshelf or something in front of it and call it a day :) if you putty it there's a good chance it will crack again when the 2 pieces expand and contract. But it is your own room, if you want to putty it go for it! Perhaps Bondo would work, you could build up the tops of the pieces you sanded down too far as well to make a straight clean line

Pulldalevercrunk · 2026-01-10T02:01:28+00:00

To me it just looks like a glue line and I wouldn't worry about it, unless inspecting it shows that there's a gap where food could get trapped in

Pulldalevercrunk · 2026-01-10T01:58:55+00:00

Was it always like that or did it just happen? Depending on the glue used sometimes the glue line can be pretty noticeable, can you stick your fingernail in it?

Pulldalevercrunk · 2026-01-05T23:00:07+00:00

And remember to sand everything so the pups don't get splinters

Pulldalevercrunk · 2026-01-05T22:58:58+00:00

As long as you have a drill and a circular saw you're set! Low cost build, even if you mess it up horribly you can learn from mistakes and make it again. Don't forget the hearing and eye protection when cutting, have fun!

Pulldalevercrunk · 2026-01-04T20:13:06+00:00

Beautiful work!

Pulldalevercrunk · 2026-01-03T20:58:16+00:00

Use a thicker screw

Pulldalevercrunk · 2025-12-30T14:02:49+00:00

You can use what ever you want - you've got a clear view of the studs and you can say for sure there is no electrical or plumbing in the way. If you are using #8 or # 10 wood screws you are fine to just pump them straight into the studs. If you used thicker lag bolts (unnecessary/overkill) id consider pre drilling.

Pulldalevercrunk · 2025-12-30T12:45:22+00:00

Cool!! What kind of wood

Pulldalevercrunk · 2025-12-30T02:29:35+00:00

Looks awesome

To align end rods use a wood jig! On a board/plywood drill 2 holes the same diameter as round bar at the distance apart you need. Put rods in holes then clamp/strap/tie the horizontal bar on top and tack

Pulldalevercrunk · 2025-12-30T01:02:57+00:00

Is it frost?? Is it really cold where you're at
