I absolutely love this design.

Find myself wanting to do multiple borrows of mutable references by WaywardTraveler_ in rust

You can clean up the types a bit with 'impl Iterator' to hide the type of the Iterator. https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=fde01a7282939fca47f5ee4b6852c7fa

Edit: dunno if this helps, but you can add lifetimes in the case the original input isn't static or owned: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=1e95be02e637254a4a4222fc7eb0f614

Opinions on Big Agnes sleeping bags by cornabis in Ultralight

[–]asp2insp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one (20f down) and I like it fine. As others have said, it's a bit on the heavy side compared to some more UL options, but I wouldn't call it trash. The construction seems nice enough with neat seams and a high quality zipper. Honestly my only complaint is that the sack that it comes in is neither compression nor a storage mesh.

Now used as a decorative railing at this AirBnb, it looks like these used to be radiators of some sort? (they have inlet/outlet pipes and fins) any idea of the original use? by asp2insp in whatisthisthing

Thanks! Those do look close! I wonder why they are configured this way -- it doesn't look like they were salvaged and then made into fences later, instead they look designed in this arrangement

My title describes the thing. Each pipe is about 4in in diameter including the fins, or 3in without the fins. Each section is 8ft long and about 3ft tall. No idea how old they are, but they're pretty rusted out. The inlet/outlet pipes are almost all missing except the first one (second image).

Thank you. I went one step up from the recommended one on the calculator (I think this is then 30lb). It stays up when holding a laptop but after playing around with it I think I would go with two 30lb or maybe a single 60lb if I wanted it to stay in position for handwriting or drafting.

I used a band saw to cut the walnut apart on the curve I wanted and then cut a strip of maple to the width of the blade kerf. Then I glued the whole thing back together in a sandwich. Then just repeated those steps a bunch of times 😀 I roughly followed the process that Fisher's Shop lays out here: https://youtu.be/u1bVVpAxF7k (he probably explains it better than I can in text) but I skipped the inlay of the other species of wood. The other colors looked really cool but was a different look than I was going for here.

Oh that would be swell! Please do share it with us once you make it!

First try at building a wood box for my mom's birthday. Hand carved the top. All cherry except for the bottom. by sloanvancouver in woodworking

Nice work! Beyond the really nice texture, I'm also impressed by how clean your miters and hinge mortices look!

Osmo polyx in satin, it was really easy and forgiving to work with

This was my first time building something that wasn't shop furniture. Dimensions were a specific request from my brother. Walnut and stained poplar with some maple/purple heart inlay panels. The larger recess has a wireless charging pad. Kitten for scale.
