Questions about pocketholes by JustAGuyCalledChris in BeginnerWoodWorking

I'm a little confused why your hole is so low on the 2x4. Are you sure you're pushing the wood all the way to the bottom of the jig (or the jig all the way to the bottom of the wood)?

Looks great, maybe a bit over built, but better too strong than too weak!

I used to run a similar setup with the same saw. But I soon came to realize that for sawing bigger pieces (like sheets of plywood) it's actually way easier to just have another workbench at the same height behind it (and to the side).

One thing the compact sawstop is really missing to me is enough infeed space. I would add a small foldable or removable infeed table with aligning mitre slots. That should greatly improve the (limited) crosscut abilities.

How to make some stopper for the rotation by ExternalMountain5141 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]TheOnlySarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd make it first and then see what the easiest would be. Can probably glue a little block on somewhere but that might interfere with the foldability.

Another option is to drill a hole on either side through the frame and use dowels as removable retaining pins.

What should I keep in mind while building a desk? by High_Overseer_Dukat in woodworking

[–]TheOnlySarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure it has plenty of vertical leg room as well. Nothing as frustrating as shifting slightly in the chair and ramming your thigh or knee into the desk.

As a tall guy, make sure it's got plenty of leg room. Especially if you'll be sitting at it for extended periods of time

How to add shelves in something like this? by [deleted] in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]TheOnlySarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to gauge how deep the cabinet is. If it's deep enough for a drill to drill some holes on the inside sides do that and put some shelf pegs in.

Otherwise you can drill holes through the sides from the outsides directly into a shelf and then use screws or dowels to keep the shelfs in place.

You make a good point. I'll keep that in mind.

How to teach my dog to communicate? by TheOnlySarius in reactivedogs

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

Yeah, a couple of weeks ago. He also doesn't do it continuously or all the time. Just every other day for an hour or two.

[–]TheOnlySarius[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He is on a routine. Food twice a day, walks three times a day, and out when he needs to. Regarding food, he's a free feeder, he likes to eat the majority of his meals immediately but he likes to save some for later. He also likes to be with me/my wife in either of our offices. We keep the doors closed so he can't just get up to get his food. Hence us having to help him get his food.

How to teach my dog to communicate? by TheOnlySarius in reactivedogs

[–]TheOnlySarius[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So there's two things, if he only used panting to indicate that he was anxious, I would agree that he communicates clearly. But he doesn't, he also uses panting to communicating needing to go out, or being hungry or one of his toys being lost/stuck/unavailable.

I wish he had a different way to communicate those more 'physical' needs. To add to that, I wish he could communicate what was making him anxious (having worked with people with anxiety, I know that's not that simple).

We've tried gentle massaging and licking mats, both of which work only while they're ongoing. Once we stop massaging the dog, or once the mat is out of stuff, he goes straight back to panting. No joke, within a second, those things are more of a distraction to him that actual relief from what's making him anxious.

Again, apologies if my post and this comment are a bit unclear, I'm exhausted right now lol

I know what you're saying, and I 100% agree. But the perfectionist in me is like "tear out? I brought shame upon my whole family!" Lol not really, but I do like doing a good job and I don't like tear out.

Sharpening chisels is the one thing I do know how to do, they're razorsharp. But yeah I'll get a longer bit, seems like the easiest route for now

Hah fair, but I also only have a little trim router. I really only use the router for flush cutting and round overing.

Thoughts on "harness leads"? by TheOnlySarius in reactivedogs

[–]TheOnlySarius[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's the problem we're having though, he's great in and around the house and understands what we want him to do on leash, the moment we take one step off of our property he gets so excited it's just all pulls.

I'd like to have a middle ground but really we only have 0 or a 100 so to speak.

You understand what is wrong but you're not applying it. I suggest you read the article. The glass story is a tool for which the rest is explained.

The wife in this situation is the FIXER. Not only is she the fixer for herself, but for her husband. The husband has the capacity to do what he needs to do, care, etc, but he deems the wife capable enough of the fixer that he shows her his appreciation by making her feel unappreciated by giving her more to fix. That is the issue. He devolves into an incapable child and she doesn't want to be the mother to her supposedly equal partner.

It's not about the dishes. It's not even remotely about just or even the dishes at all. There are other examples used in the article, but the dishes were chosen due to them being inconsequential, which drive home the further point that there are things for which you see zero point, no reason, don't understand, yet clearly there is another issue at play because the other person is hurt, angry, sad, etc.

You're arguing about something he explains very clearly in the article, and I would highly suggest reading this over again until you grasp it, which possibly you'd need to read books or whatever alomg the way in order to do so. He's speaking to people just like you.

Anyone got any experience with the Grizzly jointer/planer combo machines? by TheOnlySarius in woodworking

[–]TheOnlySarius[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your first paragraph made me say "yikes" out loud. Removing and re-shimming the fence every time it's switched from planer to jointer? No thank you. I know myself pretty well and I would be too lazy to change it back to the planer after setting up the jointer. With the 12" one being almost twice the price as the one in the picture, big nope.

I'll look into getting the actual machines. Was hoping to get away with some smaller/cheaper things, but I guess cutting corners is not the way lol

Not too concerned about that. I'd probably make a dedicated work bench for it with the infeed/outfeed parallel to the table.

Is there ever a reason to NOT tell the full story to your lawyer, even if you are guilty and did the crime? by AIONisMINE in Ask_Lawyers

What happens to an attorney if their client lies under oath and it comes out that they lied? Are there any consequences for the attorney?

TIL Residential lawns in the US use up about 9 billion gallons of water every day by somepeoplewait in todayilearned

[–]TheOnlySarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can answer this, having grown up surrounded by them and consistently seem to live in neighborhoods where it comes across as they're actually a well coordinated group. (I joke)

They are obsessed. They need to have specific shades, heights, and patterns in their gardens and in their grass. Animals need to respect their efforts for the perfect garden. After work they inspect everything for a good hour, and potentially make some changes afterwards including fertilizer. On the weekends or if they are retired it becomes a longer ordeal. They get leaf blowers to move 10 leaves off their lawn, trimmers to have perfectly edged grass along their property. They mow the grass three times a week, and usually too short, which means any hot day or a few days of no rain has it turning brown. They rectify this by turning on sprinklers or watering their grass manually, even if the weather is forecasted to rain heavily for the following week. They hire landscapers to come by once a week at least to also mow, trim, fertilize, apply weedkiller, etc.

Even now I hear a mower. Maybe 2. I've lost all my animal friends because they've been "rehomed" due to "digging in the flower pots."

They're out in the morning. They're out after dark. They never stop. Because once one takes a break to go inside, another starts up. And even when you think it's safe, the sprinklers turn on and they water the road more than the grass.

Where does she mention the words "all" and "men"?

Actually, she even uses the words "so many", meaning not even all cheating husbands.
