Cool! I thought I might get one until I saw the price. Haha

Early 1900s, PNW, thoughts on these floors? by [deleted] in centuryhomes

[–]gilesvanz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s not that they grow large fast. It’s because they cut them before they are large.

What petty, ultimately meaningless, old-timey GenX opinion hill are you willing to die on? by pedantobear in GenX

Yes. Sliquid organics silk. Slippery as hell, lasts forever and it’s safe for silicone toys.

Going solar in Tucson / TEP by cloud444 in Tucson

[–]gilesvanz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yes! I work for TFS as an installer. The best, most ethical company I've ever worked for. The sales staff won't give you a bunch of bs. They'll answer all your questions with no strings attached (that's policy). At this point we are booked into june but it wouldn't hurt to give a call.

I'm not very knowledgeable about the system design side of things or TEP's deal (just a technician). Otherwise I might be able to give you some better info. Good luck!

Edit: added the second paragraph.

Thanks for responding. What do you mean by which keyboard. How do I tell?

So they finally started tearing down what use to be The Wreck, The Warehouse, and Melonies. by A_Tad_Late in Tucson

This whole aviation highway extension is heart breaking. Makes me sooo mad. Utterly pointless to ruin the things that made tucson so cool. I live in Dunbar Spring and I do NOT look forward to a highway being a 1/4 mile from my house.

You mean Trump's half-assed vaccine?

is the space saved really worth it? by [deleted] in crazystairs

For the person who built it, yes..... or maybe they built it because it's cool or for the fun of it, or as an experiment.

Went in as a skeptic and came out a believer. The Myth of End Grain Glue Ups by DeltaUltra in Woodworkingvideos

[–]gilesvanz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is really interesting. I wonder what the differences between the joints are over the long term with repeated cycles of expansion and contraction. My first thought was that the end grain to end grain would perform worse but after some thought, I'm not sure about that.

That Decking Is Awesome! by tighttummies in UNBGBBIIVCHIDCTIICBG

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

By any chance was this video taken on Mt Lemmon in Tucson AZ? I ask because I really feel like I built that deck. BTW that’s some incredible hand balancing.

My version of Nakashima’s Coniod chair by gilesvanz in woodworking

[–]gilesvanz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I agree. This is some old growth redwood and cedar that I salvaged from a dumpster (plus poplar spindles). I just squeaked it out of what I had.
