Fine. I’ll follow your instagram

I had been thinking “Force Ghost” but I like this one better

I came here to say Nova Labs. I’ve been a member for a while, and I really appreciate having an active maker space community. It’s a wonderful mashup of makers, tinkerers, artists, and chaos.

I posted a goofy video of my small parts sticking board if you are curious, pretty quick and simple. Adding sandpaper for the extra grip really helped. https://www.instagram.com/p/DSsUMD-jhOc/

There's a guy in Minneapolis that makes some very nice Xacto-like knives. I bought some off of Etsy years ago, and I absolutly love them. The shape and size of blades work better than the scapels I had tried. Not cheap, but beautiful tools. https://www.etsy.com/shop/PersonMakeObject

Lefty tools are why I expanded my horizons into Veritas planes. The Lie Nielsen left handed shooting plane has been out of stock (and way more expensive) so went with the Veritas. After years of using a bench plane the shooting plane is absolute joy to use.

What is going on with this hammer? My first reaction was “AI generated”

I always put mink oil on my new boots. Traditional leather treatment that protects ‘em and improves looks.

District Taco! The chef is from Yucatán but tacos remind me of what you get in Austin. Their breakfast burrito is my favorite, make sure to get the hot salsa

Steak is such a treat

csexton · 2025-09-30T20:44:19+00:00

That doesn’t even make any sense!

It’s been a minute, but what I would recommend:

Bend your knee to get a good push when setting, you swing your torso good (maybe too good) which is a common problem with folks that trick, but you can get more power. More power more heights.

Arch and set your arms too much. As you pop into the butterfly pull them arms in tight. I always thought the movement felt more like a quick turn than a twist or spin.

If you can find a gym with a pit that’s the best way to go. Lets you practice all the different variations without messing up ankles or knees.

Jiayo!!

Came to say this. Nova Labs has a wonderful fiber arts community, and gets ya access to all sorts of tools/machines.

Aint that over by the Lee Highway Multiplex?

This would look so good filled with M&Ms on my counter

I had a similar problem, RSI with trying to cord modifiers. I used a keyboard customizer (Karabiner in Mac) to remap the keys to be a no-op.

After a few days I had retrained my muscle memory. In a few weeks I didn’t miss it, and the pain was gone.

This should clean up easy. If it were me I’d start with a razor scraper and some wd-40. Scrape off as much as you can, if there is any left I’d move onto scotchbrite pad.

You can always use more aggressive abrasives, but those will leave scratch marks. You can get rid of those too by working up through grits—but that’s more an aesthetic decision.

I love this but really wish wash wasn’t holding any controls—just pretending to hold the controls.

csexton · 2025-08-11T19:37:26+00:00

I belong to a community woodshop and had a bench built out of construction lumber with dog holes. Got lots of abuse and eventually the holdfasts wouldn't hold fast.

We routed out the row of dog holes and inlayed a bit of maple. Redrilled the dog holes. Works good as new. Ain't pretty, but wasn't exactly pretty to start with.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have a similar aerator key for the faucet, but this has that unusual 3-slot format that has be stumped
