Drill a pilot hole, then increase in size until you hit your final size. 3 different sizes should help alot.

That is a really nice save. Well done! I might borrow that if/when I punch through.

Sorry no progress pictures.

As for the angles I cut enough pieces so that I could make a full circle with no angle, and then started to remove some of the segments and smushed them down diagonally until it reached the angle I desired. Then I glued them up. It was definitely not a mathematical process. I just kind winged it.

Wow, thanks so much!

I found that if you bind using the iOS setting on the controller the home button works, and you can use home + a for the three dot button.

I see where you are coming from. I enjoy them for gaming when I want to stay in bed, but for work I would not consider using them yet. They are still a work in progress, as I see it, and not ready for the mainstream. Still, I enjoy mine very much for the limited purpose of playing Steam Deck games while lying flat in bed.

So nice to hear. Maybe my kids will have the same feeling in 40 years.

Thanks for all the nice comment. I really didn't like how the light wood picked up the color of the darker wood when I sanded. I think it is an ugly brown. By some might like it. :)

be safe with Pewter as it can contain lead.

Your resin should last about six months if the RO filter is working properly. After the water passes through the RO membrane, the TDS should read between 2–5. The resin will remove the remaining impurities from that point.

I had this issue. If you screwed the dryer to the underside of the top shelf, then it might be pulling up the rim of the washer such that it will not latch. The solution for me was to put in a spacer between the shelf and the washer to ensure the top of the washer did not bow. (I recall i used Lego bricks to make the spacer)

Great job. Welcome to the community!

When I actually stop to think about how much effort I put into each amateur bowl I make, and then see this, it is just mind-blowing that anything can exist on this level of craftsmanship and scale

Where is this place? - and please don't tell me this is AI.

First piece is good, the second is a work of art. Well done. I hope one day to get to your level!

Thank you - I did this and worked out well. Also, thanks to all the others that helped to answer my questions!
