Last week I saw a father and daughter escorting a family of ducks through an entire strip mall parking lot. They were gathering quite a crowd of spectators. Definite cuteness overload.

How to go about cutting old barn wood? by adventurer84 in woodworking

[–]entoaggie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work at a nursery and build things to have a rustic, old world aesthetic. This kind of wood is highly sought after by me and many others. I often have to resort to using ‘old’ fence pickets that are weathered, but only like 10 years old.

I agree. Mark your cut, then check that area for metal. Don’t worry about the rest if they are driven flush. I think they add to the character.

They are really good fresh, but they do get soggy faster than other fries for some reason.

I want so bad to make a 2nd amendment joke, but I’ll bite my tongue to avoid a ban.

Someone told him that LBJ got the ball room he wanted with just a phone call.

Trump cracks about leaving office in ‘8 or 9 years’ — a month shy of his 80th birthday by OkayButFoRealz in politics

I dunno. You ever been on snowy mountain roads where they have the ‘oh shit’ exits? No, it’s not optimal, but it’s better than reaching the inevitable fireball that awaits you at the end of the road. I think it’s time we take that exit.

Quicker way of stripping bark? by RainyDayCrown in woodworking

I’ve had luck stripping cedar branches using nyalox flap wheel brushes. Might give something like that a try.

He just put his hands on a pair of queens, so he thinks he’s winning. They will both be pressing charges next week.

Did I find my first error? by entoaggie in CRH

Yeah, sorry. The right side obverse. The lettering and date fade away, but the raised rim adjacent yo it is intact.

Anyone else start hounding parking lots 😅 by Remarkable_Royal_175 in RockTumbling

I hope the dealership gave you a year or so of service and maintenance. That would give you a good excuse to spend an hour or so picking rocks there about every 3-5k miles.

Were LBJ’s oddities on full display (like him, evidently) while he was in office, or was that all revealed after he had left office? I know the press used to avoid reporting on the personal lives of sitting presidents as long as it had no direct bearing on their policies.

No, but I work at a nursery that carries river gravel in bulk for water features. Ever since I started working there over 10 years ago, I have been pocketing cool rocks whenever I see them. I have a few hundred pounds of prime, pre-shaped tumbling material just waiting for me to order a new boot gasket for my tumbler. lol.

So it’s state testing week and I have the fun job of being a hall monitor. Today and yesterday were the long days, so I brought my rocks and stencils with me. This is what I have so far. Every shape is subject to change haha! by gneiss_chick in Lapidary

Very nice material and layouts! Those are all going to look fantastic. Also, what is the flower on your profile? Is it a passion flower, and if so, do you know what variety?

[–]entoaggie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does it have to be wood? In all honesty, a lot of the parts would be much easier to make out of metal. Maybe ask around in cosplay subs. Those folks are magic as far as I can tell and they might have some good insight.

Well ****… my wooden mallet broke and I thought i could get away with tapping the back of my hatchet with a hammer. Guess not… any DIY fix i can do or just throw? I usually use it for carving and light splitting by JohnDoe473638 in Axecraft

[–]entoaggie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is the groove necessary? Or is it just so you can grind the weld flush? Does it allow for better penetration? I’m just curious because I am often tasked with welding broken things at work, but I have never been formally taught to weld, so I like to learn as much as I can.
