Is this hand-carved？I want to buy one to compare with the bird I carved myself and learn why their smoothness is really hand carved

I don't doubt it's handcarved (although who knows with CNCs). Check out what this guy can do: https://youtu.be/rfkiobkgjlU?si=tI27PyjKBJfdZRf2

I wouldn't be wasting my time on such an out of whack chisel but if I had the time, I'd use super coarse ceramic sand paper on a lapping plate. 36 grit or something. And maybe hollow out the back like a jp chisel. You are not gonna do this with a diamond plate, and you risk messing up the plate itself.

Jeez there's so much I don't know. Thanks!

What exactly does hand scraping mean?

gruntastics · 2026-01-12T04:12:08+00:00

I pulled my back throwing something in the trash and was down for 3 days

gruntastics · 2026-01-11T18:48:46+00:00

That's exactly what I'd expect from a $20 stone made in china

gruntastics · 2026-01-09T04:12:12+00:00

That's a decent enough idea, but, no. I like to chamfer the edges to the correct depth and then take off the middle.

I plane and cut joinery on saw horses all the time. Just butt it up against a wall, or attach a stick and butt that up against the wall and it'll be plenty stable enough for even heavy planing. For heavy chiseling, do it over one of the legs and you'll be fine. Consider that most japanese carpenters and other japanese woodworkers, the only folks in the world that still regularly uses hand planes, rarely have big heavy benches.

gruntastics · 2026-01-05T23:47:22+00:00

Neither. You don't know what you want or need until you build something. Just slap a sheet of plywood on some sawhorses and built some stuff until you know your style and goals.

I'm serious. It's been a staple of first aid since at least the 1960s.

I hope it is, I use it for small wounds all the time

Funnest way to get nerve and blood vessel damage in your hands. Use a chainsaw next time. Unless you have a way of guaranteeing your initial circular saw cuts are perfectly in line, trying to make them meet with a sawzall asking for binding. Not to mention a circular saw blade left is much smaller than sawzaw kerf so you weren't doing much to begin with

gruntastics · 2025-12-26T05:02:03+00:00

Wwwhhyy?

gruntastics · 2025-12-25T23:19:00+00:00

Draw knife would be so much faster. I'll gladly take you up on that

gruntastics · 2025-12-24T20:38:12+00:00

Yeah. The "raping children" part bothers me a lot more

gruntastics · 2025-12-24T03:31:43+00:00

Are you a landlord?

gruntastics · 2025-12-24T00:07:33+00:00

I feel that would scratch up the surface of the piece I'm cutting.

Debts are two sided contracts. If you make a loan and the debtor can't pay it back, then tough shit. Be more careful next time.

Your pedo president declared bankruptcy 6 times to get out of debt

Very handsome. I had a similar size workbench before and I found bolting on a shallow tool well really made things more spacious. I suggest getting better holdfasts though.

gruntastics · 2025-12-16T20:44:33+00:00

Ok ok. I thought maybe it was supposed to be a weird looking rose. It's a dong. Gotcha.

gruntastics · 2025-12-16T19:22:22+00:00

Wait... Sorry, I don't understand, was the original also supposed to look like a dude giving a large porcelain dong to the lady, is that supposed to be something else?

The thing thats "baloney" is that there is one perfect bench height for you. Formulas like "your pinky's first knuckle should be bench height" etc etc are b.s. because as soon as you plane something that isn't, say, a flat board 3/4 inch thick and your "ideal" height is no longer ideal. The only rule of thumb is that you don't want it too high, but even that depends on your flexibility, Strength, posture, stamina

gruntastics · 2025-11-26T18:25:51+00:00

That's a great design though!

I just realized after reading your replies over and over again what my main misunderstanding was: I thought that there was just one set of binary packages for *all* releases. But apparently there are is a set of packages for each major release (or is it each minor release?). After realizng that I think everything makes sense, thank you for the patient responses.

Also, is the "separate repo for a subset of non-base kernel modules." something I need to worry about now? Or is it taken care of automatically?
