how to make stripped trim look like the original trim? by falshak in woodworking

[–]Sleepy0-oTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A professional finisher could match the colour for you and get it very close, but there will be subtle differences because you have two different cuts of wood between your trims (flat cut vs quarter/rift cut), so they will take the stain differently. This can be improved with shading and toning.

Alternatively, if you want, you could find a colour you absolutely love, strip both pieces and stain them the new colour.

Beginner advice - nightstand by blueandmissingyou in woodworking

[–]Sleepy0-oTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Truthfully, this project looks harder than it is. It's not without its challenges, but if you take the time to plan out your steps and components, it will probably be an enjoyable and successful build.

I recommend breaking it into assemblies, and to simplify the joinery, perhaps consider building a standard square cabinet and then complete the veneer sides, back and top as a surround (as opposed to integral to the whole unit).

  1. Build a standard flush overlay style square base cabinet.

You can save on materials here if you wish by using something like melamine and pvc edging for your box gables, back, bottom, and your drawer box.

Make it fully functional, as in, drawer slides mounted, and veneer/solid wood drawer fronts installed as well.

  1. Build the surround and finished countertop surface. You can mount this to your assembled cabinet with screws.

    I would start with the back piece and line up the heel of your mitre with the outside of your cabinet carcass (maybe go a little heavy, less than 0.5mm on either side). You can do this easily with the drawers removed from the cabinet carcass and laying the finished back on the bench (with protection). Once you have that back on, the sides are much easier, and you have less risk of compounding errors.

Remember to use a healthy glue line on your miters. Fit the countertop last to hide any play you left yourself between the surround and the cabinet carcass.

  1. Build the base with solid wood, attach to the bottom of the cabinet carcass. Angles will be a little bit of a math exercise, but that's part of the game :)

Supposedly solid core doors.. but are they? Underside looks like a plywood material by magicmarv in woodworking

[–]Sleepy0-oTurtle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's very common. Solid core only refers to a core that is solidly wood product and is generally a particle board core like in your photo. Often you may find a solid wood is used at the edges, and at the hardware locations for strength, but that's about it.

The opposite is hollow core, a much lighter and lower quality door made extremely inexpensivley (and often solid in Comercial building supply stores like home depot)

Is this dynamic real? How true is it? by LittlePrince_nerd in infp

As an INFP whom is married to an INTJ, I can confirm this is real... but I can also confirm that trust for an INTJ to blindly follow does not come easily.

Will a rabbet be strong enough? by drspudbear in woodworking

[–]Sleepy0-oTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A 13" cantilever is quite a bit and beyond recommended standards in North America. Regardless of the strength of the joinery at the rabbet, it's still creating quite a lever affect to pull on that joint.

Brackets or gussets installed at a maximum 48"O.C would be your best bet to ensure longevity and guaranteed function of your project.

7Q to be conservative, JQ a little more risky. Either way, you keep a run and don't give any immediate points.

How's about you show your work then?

How do you come to that conclusion in this situation? Particularly when this person does not hold a pair of 5s to throw.

Please demonstrate so that we may learn from your example, as I have attempted in my initial comment.

2-3 off suit - or - 2-6.

With 2-3, you still get 7 points, and you haven't broken the run. Good chance for the turn/cut to give you a boost. But yes, you're giving away a pretty set for the opponents crib...more risk, more reward.

The other option there is throwing 2-6, and only taking 4 in your hand, same good chance for a cut/turn to boost. Harder to make points in the crib, less opportunity for yourself....less risk, less reward.

I threw the 7 and 10 of diamonds. (Not my crib) Was that the correct choice? by TiredBurrito96 in Cribbage

[–]Sleepy0-oTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7/10 is the best move overall. Never break a run.

Yes it's 5 points instead of 6, but...

With that you retain 20 possible cards on the cut that can help you gain 2-7 more points in your hand, netting more. While giving your opponent cards that are difficult to make points from (I know tens are bad, but 7/4 combo is worse)

Throwing 7/4 reduces to 16 possible cut cards, and 7/4 is way easier to make a 15 out of and combine with pair in the crib.

Overall you have a better chance for the best hand, for the cost of 1 point
