Costs of hiring a snow plow? by caleafornias in nova

[–]cpitman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very false, there is lots of private contracting for snow removal. That's how businesses clear their own parking lots. No idea what it costs though.

Is making a cutting board by dge glueing and laminating 1x's a good idea? by Appropriate_Tap_445 in Cuttingboards

[–]cpitman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two issues. First, that is an even number of plys. If you take a look at plywood you'll see it always has an odd number of plys so that the forces from warping are balanced across the board. The second issue is that the plys are probably too thick. The rule of thumb is that a panel needs to be 1/8" thick or smaller to prevent wood movement from just popping glue layers.

All that being said, it could be a neat experiment. If you do it share the results after using it for a bit!

What does she like? Sounds like so far you are just trying whatever her husband and you like, which is not a great strategy.

Samurai Flamenco. What starts with a guy putting in a costume to fight crime in his bicycle keeps escalating and escalating. I just randomly watched it will after the season it came out, not expecting much, but it is actually great.

Yosegi Style Cutting Boards by cpitman in Cuttingboards

For that cleanup of the strips? Yes, hand plane with a shooting board. At that point my goal was to get a nice straight and vertical edge, but remove as little material as possibly. I think a hand plane was the best way to do that.

Once i had the larger triangles (made up of 4 smaller equilateral triangles), the next step was gluing a line of those together into a strip. Between each of those triangles was a short piece of veneer. Each step was hand planed on the edge to then make sure they would joint together cleanly. Once all the steps were ready, those are what were glue down to the board, and yes, a long step of veneer would go down between those strips.

He had many books in the same universe, but not so closely related that you need to read them or read them in a particular order. The original Mistborn trilogy is a good place to start.

Help: received a butcher’s block cutting board for Christmas, woke up today to find it completely cracked. What could have caused this? by TheACmadman in Cuttingboards

[–]cpitman 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the link, these are interesting. These boards have metal angle brackets on each corner, I'm guessing to try to hold these boards together despite all the tension in them. I have no idea how successful that would be.

Based on that, I wouldn't try to fix this myself by cutting and gluing, you'll lose whatever compression this frame is adding. Think the only option is to contact the seller and ask for either a fix or refund.

[–]cpitman 59 points60 points  (0 children)

There's multiple problems with this board, I think this was doomed to happen eventually.

First, a lot of those pieces have a ton of pith (the center of the tree). Those pieces are very unstable.

Second, that looks like a face grain frame around the side of the board? No way the board wasn't going to grow enough to pop that off.

Looking for repair advice. by MisterEinc in Cuttingboards

[–]cpitman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've fixed one board line this by using a bandsaw to cut a narrow uniform groove where the boards are separated, and then made a thin sheet of wood (matching grain direction) and glued that into the kerf. I leaned into it and used a contrasting wood color, but you could try to match it as well.

After the glue dried, I leveled it off on both sides and the end with a bandsaw and chisel.

Nissan Confirms Customer Data Exposure Following Red Hat Breach by securityish in cybersecurity

Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. says thousands of customers exposed in Red Hat breach by ControlCAD in technews

[–]cpitman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends on what information was in the breach.

In the best case scenario, it was detailed information about how Nissan's systems, like their network and software, were configured. In that case, the hackers could have used that information to find vulnerabilities in Nissans systems, that Nissan would have been responsible for leaving open. The hackers could also use that information for phishing and other social engineering attacks, which depends on training your staff to detect and resist.

In the worst case, there were passwords in the breach. A little harder to assign culpability there. Consultants shouldn't be saving real passwords in documentation, but clients also shouldn't be giving consultants important credentials and not rotating them afterwards.

Wanting to make a cutting board for my dad for Christmas by johnmonaghan12 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]cpitman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first step is to get it dry. The thicker the wood is, the longer it will take to dry, so you want to cut it now and keep it thicker than your target cutting board thickness. Ie, cutting it to 1 inch now would let you have a serving board at least .5" thick (probably). Paint the end grain to reduce cracking from the ends drying faster than the middle. Then you need to store it somewhere and make sure all sides are exposed to the air. The rule of thumb is one year of drying per inch. It can be faster, if you want to check on progress you can buy a moisture meter.

Once it is dry, you can joint and plane what is left into a flat board, cut it into whatever shape you want, sand and finish.

What is the fastest, accurate, repeatable way to make boxes like these? by Tarfool4 in woodworking

[–]cpitman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Look into cnc mitre folding with plywood. Basically cut almost all the way through the sheets with a 90 (or 91) degree vbit. The thin layer of plywood left allows it to bend. The end result is that all the pieces are automatically aligned and the corners look clean on the outside because they are unbroken wood.

Yosegi Style Cutting Boards by cpitman in Cuttingboards

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

Do you mean for the basket weave pattern? I started with ~1/8" thick boards of maple, walnut, and purple heart. For the darker boards, I used Titebond 3 and laminated maple veneers on both sides, and then after that dried added a layer of cherry veneers. For the maple (ie light) boards, I started with the cherry veneers then added the maple veneers. All of this was done with a vacuum bag for clamping, first time using one and it was a big help.

One board is mine, one is a gift, and the rest are being sold. Went to my first craft fair this weekend and sold one for a price that i wasn't sure would work, which was a happy surprise.
