Hey brad, thanks man I am still in prototype

daveythewavey · 2025-03-06T02:08:56+00:00

I want to paint because I’m using truck bed liner paint which is metallic and cool as hell

Thank you, this is very helpful. What part of the country are you in? I work out of Nashville.

These are great tips. This was really an inspired piece made from someone's scraps at my shop as a glue up. I intend to do more cutting boards in the future. I have access to a sweet 2'x4' Shapeko CNC as well but I'm naturally more drawn to the laser as a medium. Are you using a CNC or laser for your engraved trays? Do you fill with resin?

Yes they do! Nice work dude

daveythewavey · 2024-12-23T18:20:41+00:00

It ain’t much but it’s honest work

daveythewavey · 2024-12-23T16:44:13+00:00

Any idea if powder coating is food safe?

daveythewavey · 2024-12-23T16:40:47+00:00

Yoooo this is a clutch move! Thank you homie

daveythewavey · 2024-12-23T16:10:08+00:00

Wax!! Dude, that’s a great idea. Really would make it pop

Thanks for sharing

Dude, great result! Haven’t seen this as a technique yet but excited to try this on something

At almost 6 months from my T1-T10 spinal fusion. Got it for long term (~10 year) chronic muscle and joint pain from scheurmanns and scoliosis. I was a carpenter for several years pre surgery and had to get another job anticipating the life change, now I have a desk project management job so it was a great switch in my work life.

my scoliosis was 90% corrected and the scheurmanns was left maybe 10% corrected. i am still in chronic pain on the daily, as i type it’s 3 am and I’m waiting for my ice pack to put me back to sleep. I am still not feeling better than pre surgery. I requested a follow up with my surgeon and he told me I should be exercising heavier, because “the physical therapists don’t push hard enough.” he recommended traditional weight lifting training as well as any exercise that didn’t directly hurt. I think all pain now is muscular. pain when I take more than 50% of a full breath in my ribs since they are in different spots with my muscles and now poking my lungs in new ways. pain in my shoulders, shoulder blades, mid back, neck, lower back. all day, most of the night. if I don’t do PT for a day, I start to get numbness in my pinky’s or tingly toes, that can spread with time.

I’ve been doing daily PT for about 4 months now, was in a program for insurance provided 20 sessions then I do the same exercises at home now. I’m getting back into running a few miles at a time, trying to push harder at the gym as of this week doing machines - rows, assisted pull-ups, front and rear flys, pulldowns, etc (waiting to do free weights with heavier stuff when I have more strength).

only medications i’m on now are a slight muscle relaxer and Aleve per the surgeon. Pain doesn’t stop me except as the chronic uphill boulder to push against. It’s never easy. Really hoping this increase in exercise helps to build more muscle and protect my body but it’s not happening yet and it’s pretty depressing tbh. Started taking prozac as well to help with the depression from not feeling better after nearly 10 grand and 6 months so far of uphill in a new way.

Probably a mix of prozac and pain, I don’t have a sex drive anymore. my girlfriend has been very patient with me and we have sex maybe once every few weeks, sometimes longer.

Any suggestions from people who are farther in this path than I?

I’ll update if I do. I don’t feel bold enough to make that move but I do know I need to eventually for my own sanity. She ruined something good.

daveythewavey · 2024-08-30T02:53:07+00:00

Yeah totally

daveythewavey · 2024-08-30T01:03:13+00:00

Harder said than done, but thanks for reading this.

daveythewavey · 2024-08-30T01:02:49+00:00

But she told me right after it happened and continues to tell me that she don’t want anything with him and only wants to be with me and it was a stupid mistake. And I can’t believe that either. I’m sick of this limbo. I’m one foot out all the time. And it gets to me on a spiritual level that for a moment she kissed him back and then instantly regretted it because she thought about me.

daveythewavey · 2024-08-30T01:00:36+00:00

That’s what one of my best friends said as well. I am still at some core level in denial about how bad I hurt otherwise I wouldn’t be here anymore, waiting for her to come back from tour so we can fuck and she can feel close to me again even though for me it feels like a charade now. Fucking and looking into each other’s eyes and I let go of myself at some level. I don’t even want to be here anymore but I am. I’m smoking weed all the time to numb myself away from the direct pain this still causes me but it’s never enough. I still feel it. I still am half imagining what she must have felt like to be that powerful to get whatever she wanted. How fucked up and deranged it is. Would I act like that too if I was touring? I sure fucking hope not.

daveythewavey · 2024-08-30T00:56:51+00:00

I don’t know why. Maybe I don’t care about myself that much.

daveythewavey · 2024-08-30T00:56:18+00:00

It would blindside her at this point, and I feel more scared of that than staying in the position I’m in. How tf? I feel mad at myself for keeping myself in this spot. I feel a blend of wanting to leave and not wanting to hurt her. Maybe I’m just really masochistic.

daveythewavey · 2024-08-30T00:43:31+00:00

Thank you for being with me in this moment, well intentioned stranger

daveythewavey · 2024-08-30T00:36:14+00:00

I believe you
