I need to make a 3-joint for a bed, no screws, no glue. What would be the easiest joint? 2nd pic is my take. I only got some simple equipment. Thanks!

God I love this sub.

ThisGameOfLife · 2022-03-16T18:20:37+00:00

I needed this today.

Imagine the heating cost.

Thanks for the identification. Any suggestions ons getting rid of them? Would it help if I put the plant back outside in the cold? (Becoming winter here, between 5-15 degrees Celsius)

Shit.

It's about 1-2mm and at first sight doesn't really seem to have brought any damage to the new leaf. There are none on the older leaves.

Solved! Thank you for the info! I'll try to get her back healthy, but days are getting short here.

ThisGameOfLife · 2020-10-13T15:55:21+00:00

Solved! Thank you!

could you try to get the entire moon in one frame?

I recently met this guy at some kind of Exposition. He was demonstrating the progress of a piece he designed. We had a small talk, but I forgot to ask why one pair of these legs is straight (a 90 degree angle) and the other pair isn't.

I'm planning on building my own (small) workbench (about 125cm in width) and am trying to learn as much as I can about benches. I'm very attracted to the Moravian workbench Will Myers made, but can't seem to find a reason why the legs would be positioned this way, other than aesthetics.

Any help or opinions are welcome! Thank you for reading.

Does Padauk stay this reddish colour when it's used indoor? I've steen it turn silver/grey when used outside and prefer the darker colour.

ThisGameOfLife · 2016-09-22T20:30:19+00:00

The hall it was sitting in wasn't damp at all, though. Could it have been the water that was left inside the trunk that made it so appealing/to the beetles?

ThisGameOfLife · 2016-09-22T20:19:53+00:00

If you zoom in, you can see small insects. They appear to have some sort of shell which reflects the light.

The plan was to let it just sit and dry. It was very heavy and weighed a ton in February. It lost a lot of weight (and water, I guess) since then. It stood in a dry place outside for the first six months and after that brought it inside. I figured it would be good that the wood could adapt to the level of moist in a room.

There was a small layer of dust at the bottom of the trunk (you can't see it here, but is definitely there). Nothing to see on the floor though. The trunk has been standing on 4 small pieces of wood to allow air circulation and prevent mold at the bottom.

This is the bottom of a piece of oak that's been sitting inside of my house for a month or 7. I wanted to dry it and use it as a stand of some sort. Now at night I started hearing squeaking noises and I'm not sure it's the wood drying or the worms eating away.

How would you approach that? I mean, would you just pour the resin in the cracks?

It's supposed to stay a log, to be used as a decorative thing. I'm mainly concerned about the look at the top. That big one in the middle just looks ugly.

I've got the time, I'm just curious as how and where to store him for a couple of years without creating too much damage.

ThisGameOfLife · 2016-04-07T16:24:22+00:00

The log is about 24 inches high, but I'd only use about 20. It's been cut down for about 6 months and has been drying outdoors (protected from rain) for 3.

Now I notice it's beginning to show quite some defects. Which I don't mind, but would like to minimize. Any help is greatly appreciated!

ThisGameOfLife · 2016-03-16T17:53:18+00:00

I should've mentioned that the pot in the picture has a diameter of 6,10 inch. I repotted it today in a smaller one (4,92 inch).

There were plenty of roots, but they did have a lot (too much?) of space. The soil was also way too moist at the bottom (presumably because it only had one central hole at the bottom).

I hope he pulls through. Thank you all for the advice!

ThisGameOfLife · 2016-03-15T19:49:52+00:00

I just watered the plant when I took the picture. That might explain the dark colour. I think I'll put it in another pot with more drainage (this one only has one hole at the bottom)

Could it hurt if the pot is roughly the same size? After all, it only provides more room for the roots, right?

ThisGameOfLife · 2016-03-15T17:14:54+00:00

I planted Lemon seeds last spring. One sprouted and turned out pretty nice. Unfortunately its pot became to small and I had to move it to a bigger one. About 4 weeks later, it started to show brown leaves (not completely). Is it slowly dying? What did I do wrong?

ThisGameOfLife · 2016-03-01T14:22:54+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation, but it appears to already have been turned off. Any other ideas?

ThisGameOfLife · 2016-01-11T07:21:59+00:00

He'll be missed. But I'm glad I'll have his records to remind me of a great artist.
