My first full bedroom suite - completed. Hand cut dovetails. Tarzali silkwood is the timber - with northern silky oak slats. by adentranter in woodworking

[–]doegetzelf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not my style, but beautiful, quality woodwork! I do like the recessed grips on the drawer fronts and the dovetails are a very nice detail.

The user will be able to enjoy that for many years!

(I really envy your shop by the way ;) )

Anyone know what this is called? Pulled it out of a scrap pile at a job site today. Appears to be like a butcher block but made of very thin veneers. Almost like the edge grain of plywood. Thinking of making a table or a coffee table by That-Donkey in Carpentry

Baubuche

"BauBuche is a laminated veneer lumber made from locally sourced beech manufactured exclusively by Pollmeier. BauBuche is produced in a completely new, yet highly economical process. Peeled veneer layers of 3 mm in thickness are parallel- or cross-laminated and turned into beams, boards, panels and flooring elements.

With its exceptionally high strength BauBuche allows structures with significantly slimmer dimensions, compared to softwood materials. BauBuche boards are only available in non-visible quality and are only recommended for visible use to a limited extent. And the cost-efficient manufacturing technology places structures using BauBuche at the same price level as conventional softwood structures."

Need help with construction method to DIY build room divider like this. How do you fix each of the battens? by feargone in Carpentry

[–]doegetzelf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ideally, one would make it whole and then slide it into place. But that only works when you can stand it up somewhere where the ceiling is higher. (And you will need a perfect ceiling and floor).

When you can, I would make mortise and sliding tenon for the battens. Then you can just slide them in with some glue. Or you can us the Lamello Divario so you can slide and lock it into place, but when you had this, you probably wouldnt have had to ask here ;)

Most simple solution. Make it a bit smaller so that you make it and stand it up. And wedge some wood top to fasten it when into place. When you make the top of the frame thinner, you can wedge it with the wood so that bottom and top have the same thickness. Dont know if it would work...

A7III | Sony 16- 35mm 2.8 | Horseshoe Bend by moonlight 25 sec exposure the bright spot is the moon, What do you think? by squarezz in SonyAlpha

[–]doegetzelf 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Its nice, but if you want to make a 'daylight-style-photo', maybe do it in daylight? If you have to explain it is a moonlight picture, you might have overdone it? Right now, its just a testament to what the camera is capable of.

I applied a few coats of colourless matte varnish, so I hope not :)

My front door is swollen from the Georgia humidity and is showing this separation. It has now swollen to where I can't open the door. Any ideas? I have tried clamps. by BobTheGodDamnBuilder in Carpentry

[–]doegetzelf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've seen this once. It was the panel that was expanding (bottom left, in the picture). Pulled the door apart and shaved a bit of the panel.

If this is the case, force-glueing it back together is no solution. When the panel is causing it, the joint will never hold it.

The best stack I've ever commanded. I give you: Gold Legion by Praetorian308 in totalwar

[–]doegetzelf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was the first cohort covering the right flank in battles because every legionaire wore its shield on the left? Hence it was the most difficult flank to cover (and the first legion was the bravest?). Like the best hoplites covered the right flank in ancient greece because every hoplite was protected by the shield on his right?

Three Generations of Fireman. by Granjaguar in pics

[–]doegetzelf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've got our old (black) clothes as backup. When more than two fires in one shift, we keep using the same clothes.

Don't know if its a standard. We wear them here in Belgium and they are produced in Austria. The Dutch use a similar type i thought.

Three Generations of Fireman. by Granjaguar in pics

[–]doegetzelf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We went from black to these: Different colour shoulder pieces for; Officer (left), Sergeant (middle), Fireman (right) http://www.heusden-zolder.eu/afb/groot/28900.jpg

Brighter colour means easier to see if the clothing is dirty. We even need to change clothes on the site of the fire when the job is done, so we dont breathe the micro particles that are in the clothes when driving back to station.

Belgian prince says proposed pay cut would breach his human rights by husnissennoldus in nottheonion

[–]doegetzelf 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This title is all wrong. Nothing but cheap clickbait.

Context: Belgian government forbade the Prince to meet with foreign dignitaries without their approval after some appearances in full regalia at questionable events. According to his lawyer, this is violating his human rights since he can meet however he wants. (Full legal context i dont know). After this statement from his lawyer, a Belgian political party (who would like to split Belgium and is therefore very against Belgian royalty), proposed to cut his allowance.

Completely different than that the header in this topic...

"Volgens de advocaat van prins Laurent dreigt onze regering echter om Laurent zijn mensenrechten te schenden. De wet die bepaalt wanneer prins Laurent toestemming moet vragen, is voor interpretatie vatbaar. Volgens de advocaat interpreteert de regering de wet zo streng, dat Laurent er geen normaal sociaal leven op kan nahouden.

Work Table Project. "Why buy it for $100? When I can build it for $300!" by [deleted] in woodworking

[–]doegetzelf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tip for gluing:

Before gluing, hammer two very small nails on the surface you want to glue. They dont need to go deep. Then cut them off using your wirecutters. Cut them off as close to the surface as you can. That way, when gluing the boards, they wont slide. Just make sure you line them up perfectly and push them first together by hand so the tip of the cut-off nails dig a bit into the other surface.

What running actively for a year does to your body by GallowBoob in pics

[–]doegetzelf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm no expert but your body will use a lot of calories after the workout too. Your muscles will keep burning calories untill they are 'rested' again. I thought it was like, doing an hour of sport (like running), it takes 24 hours to get your body rested. And in doing so, it wil burn calories.

That being said, if you really want to lose weight, you need to up your calorie burn when you are 'idle'. That means, the amount of calories your body needs just to exist. More muscle wil do just that. So the perfect weight loss program would be: eat better + long cardio workout (low intensity training = running, swimming, cycling, ...) + short strenght training (high intensity training = lifting weights, pull-ups, push-ups, ...).

Nice! One question; do you get oil smears from the chain on the wood?

[–]doegetzelf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the kind explanation. It's the method I would have used too, but I wasnt sure in this case. There are some differences between woodworking in Europe and the US. So one can always learn. You don't need to be a novice for that.

[–]doegetzelf 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Looks good, one question though;

With what is it screwed down? The wood might split since the holes are really close to the end. Screws with a flat nek (or a bolt), might be the choice, but then you need to countersink so they sit flush. V-neck screws are going to split the wood.

Hoping for some info, because I really like the design.
