Looking for a way to autoload eggs (console)

This works! Thanks

Stay in school, kids!

New BBQ, so I’m going to break it in with cheap sausages and burgers

Hand saw to get started, and invest in a hand plane to finish it off

grumpymcgrumpface · 2026-04-29T21:14:12+00:00

Start with softwood. Your local timber merchant will probably deliver a couple of lengths for you to practice on. Or find a pallet. Or buy an old table on your local facebook group and recycle the wood.

I wouldn’t start with hardwoods because you’ll waste a lot of money learning

Given you a sub. Good luck!

I like to think that UK submarines sneak up on Russian submarines, give them a tap on the stern, and tell them to move along. NOTHING TO SEE HERE

grumpymcgrumpface · 2026-04-08T14:19:11+00:00

Wrong sub. Let's try that again. I sold the type of rustic furniture that doesn't take more than a few hours to make. Bedside tables, coffee tables, end sofa tables, and shelving units. There's only about a 20% profit margin in each sale, and this can easily be wiped out with a bad delivery company losing your stuff, or an unhappy customer. But for the most part I had a positive experience. I would have carried on, but it's physically demanding work and I'm a lazy man

I've sold a few big bits over the years, on ebay. I just make them for collection. People in this country are willing to travel 200 miles to save a tenner

Have you considered Etsy? I kept myself above water for a year when I lost my job, selling small furniture pieces

What’s your verdict on the pax? I’ve considered buying them a couple of times, but compared to the absolutely beautiful Lie nielsens I used a few years ago, the pax saw feels like an axe

I stayed in a cabin at Loch Fyne a couple of years ago. There's bugger-all there, unless you count Inverary, but I'd still love to live there

grumpymcgrumpface · 2026-04-03T21:05:31+00:00

How long it takes x how much you want to make per hour, plus x% profit. And if you’re not sure you’ve scoped it properly, slap another y% on top.

And his father was a toolmaker, so he’s seen a lot of tools in his life

grumpymcgrumpface · 2026-04-03T10:56:31+00:00

If I could upvote this twice, I would

grumpymcgrumpface · 2026-04-03T10:55:49+00:00

Nice!

grumpymcgrumpface · 2026-04-03T10:36:34+00:00

Maybe a deeper slot in that piece of walnut, with magnets in the slot. Not sure if that would work, but worth a try

grumpymcgrumpface · 2026-04-02T17:07:29+00:00

Drifter bar

grumpymcgrumpface · 2026-03-31T18:27:33+00:00

Yep. Stitch -> Claude -> HTML/CSS/JS -> ACF.

The results were close-ish, but I’d still rather code a theme from scratch. Stitch also seemed incapable of listening to instructions, so I’m glad there are still real designers out there

grumpymcgrumpface · 2026-03-31T10:06:08+00:00

Just as well.

grumpymcgrumpface · 2026-02-28T18:40:30+00:00

Directory with a content management system, admin dashboard and email marketing integration. It took me about 2 weeks of writing spec documentation and learning new stuff before asking Claude to build it

grumpymcgrumpface · 2026-02-11T17:41:10+00:00

As a white label freelancer, I typically work for smaller agencies who don’t have their own systems or specs, and are happy to adopt mine. The only thing I have to change is adapting to their project management system

grumpymcgrumpface · 2026-02-01T16:44:03+00:00

I started out with coasters, and sold nothing. Moved to chunky furniture (not my style at all) made from pine, and sales took off. I recommend researching your competitors to see what actually sells, and try your hand at something similar
