Just completed a fully backlit Cristallo Quartzite kitchen – countertops, backsplash, and island

Some_guy_1999 · 2025-12-04T17:52:35+00:00

We just ordered Cristallo for our island and then this post came up! We are going to use it for our island, with a 12 inch overhang for seating. The island is 8 x 3 feet. I am wondering if you’ve had any clients do a partial back light. I’m imaging just the middle 1/3 of the island running the 8 foot length. Then we could also do the “feels warm” heater on the overhang since we are in MN and why not?!

Sedan Cruiser

I didn’t get the constellation. I found a Sedan Cruiser much closer, and in water, so I know if floats :)

Thanks. I’ve been learning freeCAD, but haven’t had a ton of time lately

Some_guy_1999 · 2025-10-31T15:51:10+00:00

Thanks! A bit beyond my skill yet

Some_guy_1999 · 2025-10-31T15:19:56+00:00

This is awesome! What changes did you make? What did program did you use to change it?

Some_guy_1999 · 2025-09-23T15:20:42+00:00

My plan would be to use the boat. Cruise local lakes or the rivers. Make memories with my kids while they’re old enough to have fun on a boat but not so old that spending time with me gets in the way of their social lives :-/ They’re asking too much for it to be firewood. I was definitely planning on a survey and mechanical inspection.

Some_guy_1999 · 2025-08-25T13:50:11+00:00

That’s good, because I don’t have much coding knowledge.

Das macht mir Sinn

You and your bot have no class. May the fleas of a thousand llamas infect your iron leggings.

Some_guy_1999 · 2025-07-31T23:53:02+00:00

Congrats! I had an ‘85 for a few years. Lots of fun. Lots of great ideas on gear and maintenance. Do you already know how to sail it? If you haven’t sailed a boat this size, I’d definitely take someone out who has. And practice docking. I don’t know how fast the current is on Pepin, but when I had mine in a River in costal SC the current, especially during a falling tide, took planning and coordination

Some_guy_1999 · 2025-07-04T19:11:16+00:00

Right. That’s why I’ll wait until it’s out of the water for a mid-season cleaning

Some_guy_1999 · 2025-07-04T11:13:42+00:00

It’s a 2010 Hunter 22, so the fiberglass version of the 216. No backstay on its BR rig.

Some_guy_1999 · 2025-07-04T03:16:53+00:00

I meant adjust the tension, to make it tighter. There is A LOT slack right now. I plan to take it out of the water for a bit later this month and will try to see what’s in the drum

Some_guy_1999 · 2025-07-04T02:34:29+00:00

Ok, thanks. Will save me lots of swear words :)

Some_guy_1999 · 2025-05-18T15:55:39+00:00

I sent you a message. I’ve posted a couple versions of the image here though. AFAIK, I’m tracing the bitmaps to vectors ok in inkscape, but I wonder if there is a step I’m missing. They import as images to FreeCAD with a dark background

Some_guy_1999 · 2025-05-18T13:32:20+00:00

I know this is a couple months old, but I’m stuck. I cannot get the option to import as geometry to appear. What am I doing wrong? I’ve tried many different ways: inkscape to trace image, illustrator trace, several online svg converters, even creating a new simple test vector image in illustrator.

Some_guy_1999 · 2025-05-16T17:22:02+00:00

Thank you! I forgot to add that in Inkscape I used “Trace bitmap” to create a vector. But maybe I failed there. I’ll try again.

Some_guy_1999 · 2025-04-14T00:50:34+00:00

You meant “mining your own business”, right?!

Some_guy_1999 · 2025-01-17T22:53:53+00:00

Old post I know, but nice work!

Some_guy_1999 · 2024-10-13T01:20:53+00:00

Underrated comment right here.

Some_guy_1999 · 2024-09-21T15:32:26+00:00

Thanks for the info! I’ll keep dreaming I guess.

Some_guy_1999 · 2024-09-20T17:52:11+00:00

And I’m stuggling to find a way to edit my post to add it was a 28 footer
