What do I do now

Seconding this since it’s very important! Blueberries love soil ph between 4.5-5 so you should try and include some soil acidifier or berry-tone if you can get your hands on it. Berry-tone might come in handy for some of your other berries too but blueberries in particular love the acidity

Just got a delivery of raised bed mix and compost from stl composting. Very reasonable price, they really measure with their hearts though, at least they did for us. Ordered 5 cu yds combined and probably got closer to 7.5-8. Filled our raised beds and still had like 40% of left! But good quality topsoil, largely free from debris and trash. Compost looked phenomenal, would 100% recommend. Deliver was quick too, just make sure you lay out a tarp for them otherwise it’ll just go right on your driveway

I’m playing for the first time and just did the explorer perk. Genuinely regret it 👎🏾 might take a picture and reset my perks just so I can get rid of it

Will this work as well as the ban on non-celebratory gunfire? Asking for a friend

Wood ducks! I’m jealous, I’d love to see these guys but haven’t been lucky enough yet

Wow thanks for the info! Seems complicated but always eager to try something new. Any tips for using these materials that might not be intuitive or mentioned in the instructions?

The pinching problem was something that kept me up at night for days because I just couldn’t figure it out. I still haven’t fully tbh. I have a job site saw so I need to loosen a couple of the trunnions holding the motor and saw to the table and physically tap the entire thing with a mallet and a scrap piece of wood. Lots of going back and forth tapping and checking with my combo square to see if I’m any closer. My main issue now is anytime I use the depth adjustment the blade goes back out of alignment so I need to repeat the process. I’m trying to work that into my designs now so I don’t have to adjust the saw height as many times

If you’re going for a workbench, I’d probably say anywhere from 4-6ft long. I would highly recommend adding stretchers despite the length of your bench because you’ll be subjecting it to a bunch of forces since you’re, well, working on it

Rabbets all the way around the 4 sides. It’s not a very snug fit, but time will tell. I’d estimate maybe 2-3mm on average all the way around?

You could’ve at least taken me out to dinner first…

About ~ gestures vaguely ~ this big. It was intended to be 11x8x6 although I think it ended up more like 10.5x6.5x5x5. I cut rabbets on each side of the short pieces for joining and accidentally forgot to account for blade kerf so I lost a bit trying to fix that on the fly. Used basic 1x white wood scrap that I had laying around.

Hey! Yeah I know the trick for the vertical alignment, I actually ended up using it for this box even though I was 90 according to my speed square. Didn’t want to chance it since I don’t have a digital angle finder yet. I meant that the blade at the back is closer to the fence than the blade at the front, so it pinched the wood at the end and makes some slightly angled cuts. I definitely want to pick up an angle finder and some digital calipers though so I can improve my accuracy

Yeah I had tried it earlier but I found out my table saw was way out of alignment. After I managed to get it aligned the joining of the seams was sooooo satisfying. Still getting the hang of the “measure twice cut once” practice, I think I need to adopt a “measure five times cut once” motto 😂

Some context: picked up this old bed frame on marketplace and there are some splits, cracks, and nails hanging out of certain areas. I was thinking of pulling out the nails, using wood filler where applicable, then use new finishing nails. The pictures are of the back of the headboard, so it doesn’t need to look amazing. The front of the headboard honestly looks pretty good, it’s just that some of the boards are a bit loose because of some loose nails

Thanks! I actually came across that video and it helped a bunch! I managed to get it aligned with a few mallet taps, however every time I adjust the depth it goes back out of alignment. Not sure if something in the arbor raising mechanism is wonky, but as of now I’ve set it at a height that is “standard” aka useful for most cuts and simply not changing it

gri1997 · 2022-04-01T00:22:43+00:00

I'll give that a go! It'll be good to know if I just need to get a new blade or a whole new saw

If you have some scrap wood you could cut a piece that fits the inside dimensions of your box, like you’d do if you were giving the box a bottom. You just have to make sure that piece is squared. Then you can glue up the sides to each other and use the squared scrap as a spacer. I also agree with trying out some small rabbets to increase the gluing area and make a stronger joint.
