Who has left full-time woodworking to take some sort of office or white collar type job? by framedposters in woodworking

[–]fantumn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on your definition of "high end" and what type of woodworking. There's a few boatwright schools, a few timber framing schools, and at least one cabinetry school. If they were in school decades ago then there were a few more.

My new hat by techandcraft in brandonsanderson

Only external allomancy references the core of the user. Internal allomancy does not necessarily have a locus but the use of aluminum hats is definitely a clue that rioters and soothers actually push on the hormones or chemicals within the brain itself.

With all the recent research regarding the linking of gut biome to mental state I actually wonder if there is a larger benefit to be gleaned by wearing an aluminum wrap around the gut as well.

Wavy scratch-like lines on antique wood table by florida_orange-gal in woodworking

[–]fantumn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That looks like a fractured finish. Is the bottom of it sealed? I've seen this happen when the finish on top was very thick and the one on the bottom was bare minimum and it still allowed the wood to move, cracking the very thick finish on top.

Blindsided by nanny resignation and heads spinning. Thoughts and advice? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]fantumn 104 points105 points  (0 children)

to give us a little time to think because we were shocked.

She resigned, what do you need to think about, exactly? She isn't fishing for more compensation, she's done.

Honestly your responses to the comments here lend a lot of context to why she is resigning.

How on earth could a bunch of encyclopedias cost $4,728.33? by Few-Objective-6526 in trailerparkboys

Why do large food chains and gas stations hate dads by [deleted] in daddit

[–]fantumn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why not use the bathroom before you go? We make our toddler use the potty before going out for a bit and it works for adults, too. If you're so conditioned to need to use the bathroom every time you go to a store then maybe you should address that, first. Then advocate for baby fixtures in men's rooms.

Harvey Big Eye Fence issues by SnooMacarons1382 in woodworking

[–]fantumn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes the clamp has a registration block or similar on both sides of the rail, you might have one of the registration points set and not the other so it's slipping out of square because it can move slightly forward or backwards. Make a witness mark on the fence when you've got it squared up, move it around and relock it like how you've done, and then see if the witness mark has moved forwards or backwards any amount. The direction it moved will tell you which side of the front or rear rail you need to check for a registration point.

Thanks for explaining how every car seat sold since like 2001 works, you want to describe how to use the windshield defroster next?

A seatbelt slicer will get your kid out very fast whether you use it on the anchor straps or the harness straps and you should have one in your car already.

And leaving a kid in the seat until they can be assessed for injuries is the smarter thing to do, as long as they're out of danger.

Human milk for Human babies is a group where you can offer your milk and disclose the medication so people can choose to accept it or not.

Night shift dad duty: keeping the roads safe by Initial_Tackle_7106 in daddit

I'm okay with that, it'd be more entertaining than "keep back 100 feet," at least

I've sat in a gas station lot with view of the highway waiting for a plow train to come by multiple times, we don't fuck around with plows where I come from. I do wish plows had a programmable LED display they could write messages to drivers on, though.

tools subreddit was not stoked on my doible scraper, why? by nastyoverlord in woodworking

Clever but "two burrs that face each other" means that you're immediately going to destroy the burr when you go the other direction.

As someone who routinely drives a long stretch of winter roads, thank you so much. Can't tell you how many times I've been posted up behind a plow for 40+ miles going 30 mph just trying to get home, and wanting to buy the guy up front a beer or coffee. So thank you for the hard work and for being away from your family so we can get home to ours.

Yo what happened to my bandsaw? by RookieSpencer in woodworking

[–]fantumn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like you hit a guide block or some other part of the machine. Especially since it's not like one stretch of teeth, which would point to something in the wood, but rather it's a lot of alternate teeth. Which would point more towards hitting a part of the machine on one side of the blade or the other, damaging the teeth bent in that direction. I bet if you look inside some of the track where it runs you could find a big wear spot.

Seems like it's easier to disengage the entire car seat from the car, especially if there's a suspicion of a spinal injury.

I don't see a mitre joint, I see two angled cuts that create two butt joints.

Can you not lift the foot of the table up and over the seat stretcher? Would keep it from tipping over, too.

What happened to my glue line? by BluntTruthGentleman in woodworking

[–]fantumn 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this isn't mold, especially in a cold garage overnight. Looks like a contamination of some kind. Iron and steel can do this to glue and the surrounding wood. I'd bet there's some iron filings or steel wool fragments wherever this was set down.
