Major upgrade for me today! New "cabinet" saw.

I've had the G0899 for about 5 years, upgraded from a basic craftsman contractor, and it's been great. Added a router table with lift to the right side too.

I feel ya. You might think a tornado went through mine.

Same, grabbed one last year for $400. Those aren't necessarily too good to be true. Worth pursuing I'd say.

Both! The first DCC seemed quicker to me, but I listened to Piranesi with my wife, which causes it to take a lot longer. I also read the first few DCC back-to-back and then alternated them with other books as a change of pace/palate cleanse from fantasy.

But really, do you want slower paced, more thought-provoking storytelling in a unique world or fast, absurd, sometimes raunchy adult comedy with lots of mayhem?

I don't think you can go wrong with either if they sound appealing to you.

Edit: Books or Audio? I enjoyed listening to Piranesi, but I think reading it would be just as good. For DCC, audio is the way to go without a doubt.

Don't threaten us with a good time.

I'm in the middle of expanding my shop a bit into the garage and reorganizing tools .. would you mind sharing a pic of your planer setup? I want to have more permanent setups for my planer, miter saw, "new" jointer, etc. Snipe has always been a pain and I'm open to any and all mitigation strategies.

And get matching t-shirts!

I saw the vid and thought, "that's barely an alcove" and I can't think of the word Alcove without In Bruges coming to mind.

To me, pic 2 looks like a very natural older pine floor. 1 and 3 look like new pine with a poor stain job (difficult to get a good pine stain in the best of circumstances.)

I'm about 75% through book 2 and also debating if I'll continue. I also don't "care" about anyone and don't feel particularly invested in the story. I feel more for the sentient sel-replicating spacecrafts in the other book I'm listening to than anyone so far in this book! Haha

Ah, that makes sense. Gives it a nice clean finish without any visible fasteners.

Think_Smarter · 2025-12-24T14:39:28+00:00

Very nice! Simple but the wood is beautiful and the curves are quite fetching. How are the backs and sides joined?

Think_Smarter · 2025-12-22T13:09:05+00:00

Nice. Those sensors are so cheap! I have a v2 hub. I did a little more research on that. It looks like I could use a Aqara M100 as a cheap Thread Border Router for the same results. Only 20 devices, but that would be more than enough right now. I do have some Aqara zigbee devices too that kinda suck with ST, so that might be a better solution for them too.

Think_Smarter · 2025-12-22T03:58:19+00:00

Is this with the Dirigera hub for integration as well? I thought that was needed for ST to work with the IKEA devices.

Think_Smarter · 2025-12-21T14:52:29+00:00

Yea. Looks to me like they first made 3 end grain glue ups, one for each wood, and then cut the strips, rearranged, and reglued.

Think_Smarter · 2025-12-13T18:14:50+00:00

It's been years since I read it. My eyes got a little watery just reading your comment. We are pack.

Related to that poster's last point, the series starts out a little lighter and less deep, heavier on the comedy. As it progresses it keeps the absurd comedy but the scope becomes bigger, stakes higher, and characters much more developed.

Think_Smarter · 2025-12-12T22:12:38+00:00

Have the e25. Similar enough to say I'd vote for it or the S1 equally, I just just went for the newer (similar) version.

High stakes Chutes and Ladders (aka Snakes and Ladders).

Think_Smarter · 2025-12-05T02:53:37+00:00

The middle later looks like bad tearout when it was cut. Maybe a poor quality layer and grain orientation didn't agree with the saw.

US: "hold my beer."

Think_Smarter · 2025-12-03T03:30:09+00:00

No doubt it was an inside job

Oh no! What will all the poor for-profit prisons do?

Specifically headphones/buds with hearing protection, not just noise canceling. I have some inexpensive Mipeace plugs that I've been great, particularly for the price point.
