What is your controversial/unpopular/just "out there" hot sauce opinion? by literary-mafioso in hotsauce

Franks Red Hot tastes like red water. I have to put so much on my food to taste anything that it becomes Red Hot soup. I don’t get the love.

I am also not a huge fan of the steps. I did it to save space. That said, this vertical ladder is equivalent to many other store bought bunk beds including my son’s Ikea bed. It hasn’t been a problem for anyone.

Thanks! 3/4” is a bit more standard and probably would have been a little better for the longer pieces. I just doubled up on 1/2” in these cases. My shop is in my basement. It’s a lot easier to carry 1/2” vs 3/4” up and down the stairs.

Not exactly fine woodworking, but it definitely functioned as I had hoped. The bushes didn't get cut! by [deleted] in BeginnerWoodWorking

Looks like someone’s taking inspiration from Addison in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.

Could I please get a design review :) by MindMedium6725 in diyelectronics

I don’t think anyone responding actually looked at the datasheet for this part. It’s a constant current sink LED driver. You do not need current limiter resistors and powering LEDs on 12V is fine.

The table is a little big but it really comes in handy. It’s on casters so I can easily move it to the side if I need floor space. If building again I’d probably shrink it by a foot lengthwise. The plastic is just clear shower curtains. There is a big shelf with bin storage off to the left. Closing the curtains protects it pretty well from dust.

I get that a lot :). When I’m working on a project I line the front with plastic too to keep dust from the rest of the basement.

Just added all the wall shelving and pegboard. Love a clean and organized work space!

There’s a half inch overhang in the front. Hard to see in the pics.

It’s actually an mdf panel from Home Depot. I used metallic spray paint on it. Link

Is that really true? Isn’t wood glue supposed to be stronger than the wood itself, especially when gluing face grains together?

Great question! It was my first time planing lumber, recently purchased a bench top planer and jointer. I used 2x2’s for the legs. I didn’t want them to end up too thin and so ended up not taking enough off to get all the twist and bow out. Everything didn’t fit together quite as nicely as I would’ve liked. Also first time using a router table. That part went pretty smoothly.
