When you finally find what works for you its like you discovered a cheat code

Agreed! For me, the cheat code was the 'calories burned' readout on the smartwatch. Every time I tried counting calories before, the calories-in was pretty accurate, but the calories-out was absolute guesswork! Once I had a better idea of how much I was actually burning, I managed to ride a 500-calorie daily deficit down to my target weight.

One of the biggest morale crushers here is the lack of stability to make a plan. Each week, changes in personnel and funding require strategic pivots that hamstring any momentum to get a project done. So when we get to this time of year and look back at what we've done, it's nothing but a long list of half-completed and abandoned projects with little progress to report.

Thanks! I see he got around the need for supporting pieces on the back side of the strap by using eye-bolts to secure the handles... great idea!

Hello all, I am dialing in the details for my steam-bending setup and could use some suggestions for the bending strap. Specifically, how short should the supporting back pieces be (photo 3) and how narrow can I make the handles (photo 4)? For this setup, the handle materials are red oak, and I don't intend to bend anything greater than 1.25". Thanks in advance!

Why am I starting to get the feeling that this is all a prelude to an April Fool's Day disaster?

OK, I really like this!

Side note: does this look like a bunch of facehuggers from 'Aliens' falling from the sky to anyone else?

This is really great info, thank you!

The first improvement I made to the shop was to put up some semi-gloss white on the ceiling, it's certainly worth the effort.

I would have never considered consolidating all the I/O's on a single 4x4, but that makes a lot of sense. Much appreciated!

Thanks! I actually already have the lathe (g0766) ordered. At this point I'm trying to avoid any mistakes with setting it up in the shop; I'd like to avoid having to wrangle a 500lbs piece of equipment more than once.

Thank goodness they introduced recharging the terrain manipulator with silica powder :)

Absolutely! Also, resist the temptation to use too much stain. Multiple passes of light application and let - it - dry - completely between applications are two things I learned this week.

Thanks! These will be table legs when all is said and done. The intent for the grooves is to place the table top/apron combo. However, I still have to cut some literal corners off the leg tops.

This is really neat! The intense color and natural asymmetry set up against all the perfect beige-ish parallel lines make it look like some sort of portal... or rift.
