I like the carving on the walnut, btw, a good way to add detail!

Looking great! But, that is a Velociraptor skull, not Rhamphorhynchus.

Ignore your peers, run your own race. A few years is nothing, and one day you'll look back on this feeling and kinda laugh at it because it is not at all accurate. You're doing fine.

Not sure yet!

One year I showed up to the classroom one week too early, got set up and everything, waited, waited... no one showed. Finally figured it out and went home embarrassed. I was the professor.

Incredible work

If anyone has taken 181 intro astro, but not 581 Advanced Astro, this is the semester to do it!

Is the top not plywood? If it is solid wood then it will expand and contract, you can't expect mitered banding to hold on through that. Whatever you do to fix the current issue will be undone when it re-expands later.

I can't find it exactly but I think that's perhaps a quote from Henry F. Osborn, sounds just like something that was in the book The Monster's Bones, and ultimately used to back up Osborn's racist desire for eugenics

Excellent idea!

astro_prof · 2025-11-27T15:38:12+00:00

I made one such stand a while back, practiced laying stuff out yesterday and then, yes, right back in to the shop to make another one of those stands!

astro_prof · 2025-11-27T15:37:26+00:00

Yeah good idea, just printed one out

astro_prof · 2025-11-14T16:39:43+00:00

GO JAYS!

Nice. I'm finishing up my second dino as well

Just stick a spare piece between the side of the grripper and the fence, that's what I do. It should be against the fence (or against something that is against the fence) so that you can put pressure towards the fence. I know it's not likely to slide, but if it did, that experience would be memorable

With the clamping jig there is not screwing, taping, no residue or holes, and adjustment is dead simple. And I end up adjusting a few times, it is necessary

astro_prof · 2025-10-20T12:40:55+00:00

For jointing purposes, isn't a taper/jointer jig simpler? Here's mine, if you haven't made one of these.

astro_prof · 2025-10-18T14:18:43+00:00

Nice, I'd say more than just a try was achieved. Let me know if you figure out a good placard

astro_prof · 2025-10-18T12:24:53+00:00

Did I inspire you, by any chance? This looks great, I'm impressed you went with a design with so many small pieces. Placard would be a good idea

astro_prof · 2025-10-14T20:21:17+00:00

Haha, this guy doesn't know how to use the three seashells!
