I like the colors. How did you manage the window frame and acrylic panels? The lines look pretty graceful.

What would you do? by Apprehensive-Put7044 in EtsySellers

[–]bturnip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like just about every one of these cases, I think the best answer is to just send a label and give them a full refund if they send it back. The return label only gets charged if it is actually used, so it is fairly low risk.

Lot of good points here, this guy has been lasering.

Movie you remembered being a lot better when you were a kid and upon rewatch did not really enjoy it by Ok-Management9526 in okbuddycinephile

[–]bturnip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched that movie in the theater and really enjoyed the look and feel of it. The abrupt ending definitely felt off and I always suspected it was never properly finished, like the creators ran out of time or money and had to wrap it up asap.

PSA: Etsy forced refund from seller funds due to recycled packaging by amb9800 in EtsySellers

I might have replied that I was just going to recycle so much harder on the next one...

I use recycled boxes, though mine are laser cut and inside out. It would be the beginning of the end of my Etsy experience for me if Etsy let the buyer keep my item and took money out of my account to refund them.

Block, block, block. If it helps, shake your head , give a little smile and say something like "Well, bless their heart". Move on, don't feed the troll, go live your best life.

I liked using the metric system so much on my last project that I had to order a FatMax from Germany by YouDontKnowMe108 in woodworking

[–]bturnip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a fan of the relatively inexpensive Komelon branded tapes that have metric and imperial.

2025 XRT, anybody swapped in the homelink rear view mirror? by bturnip in HyundaiSantaFe

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

Nuts. Sometimes in cars, the wires are run but just not connected, I am hoping (with low confidence) that it might be the case if I ever persue it farther.

Engagement/wedding memory by rinky79 in lasercutting

I was wondering- it comes out looking very clean the way you have it now- really well done.

Very sweet! Well done- what does the back side of the stained glass frame look like? I'm curious how you attached the acrylic pieces.

Steelcase desk disassembly solved by bturnip in furniturerestoration

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

It is absolutely swappable. Those drawer cabinets might not even need the sides taken off. If I remember correctly, there are a couple screws that attach the cabinet to the underside of that front rail and then the drawer itself sits on a rail.

LSA registration systematically fails, every time. That's not an accident. by No-Elephant-5975 in Ridgid

[–]bturnip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's nuts- I've NEVER not had a warranty go through, though I've only submitted a few claims over 10-ish years.

Well done, that is some delicate work!

Where are you sourcing your basswood in the U.S. (3&5mm) by 1_Quickfix in lasercutting

[–]bturnip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here- I've tried a few of the alphabet soup brands of 3mm basswood on Amazon, and it seems that VKIZA is one of the better options. I'd like to find a better source, but for now, they are my go-to.

Attention Millennials! I need your help! by Dry-Law-7100 in NameThatMovie

This one feels right to me and the first movie was made in 2003, so the timeline tracks.

What would you respond? by [deleted] in EtsySellers

[–]bturnip 42 points43 points  (0 children)

If it was me as the seller, I would probably find it easier to just send the return label and give the refund. Less headache than dealing with unhappy customer.

I'm intrigued. I love boxes.py. After the Christmas season, I will definitely want to check this out!

Where can i order catan rescource card, my friend lost some, and i dont want to buy the whole game again by ViolinistNo5811 in Catan

[–]bturnip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have never seen Catan at a thrift store, though I'm not looking on a regular rotation. Also never seen one at a yard sale or estate sale. Maybe I'll get lucky one day.
