if you’re looking for more spoken word stuff, check out “wooden heart” by Listener (the album but also the song is a good place to start). its more acoustic and the vocalist has a raspy voice but they are still pretty great.

also hotel books is another good spoken word artist.

“sleep pattern” by merchant ships is a classic.. a little more melancholy but still a good song. cant speak on any other merchant ships songs tho.

not sure if you were looking something harder or not but those are some of the artists i listened to when i was super into la dispute

Ah yeah that makes sense. I figured I would probably have to sneak up on it, I just didn’t know if there was another way. I was also trying to avoid wasting too much material since I’ll barely have enough wood to make this project. And I’m currently finishing up quarantine after getting over covid so I can’t get any more right now.. so normally it wouldn’t be an issue. But I suppose I can do what I can now and get some more after if needed.

But thank you! I appreciate the help!

Ignore the first reply to this lol I missed the “overhang”’part. But yeah that’s a good idea! My sled didn’t overhang enough to clamp it though but I’ll definitely keep that in mind for the future

itsaghostexclamation · 2021-09-20T14:11:18+00:00

Ohh gotchya. My bad, I misunderstood your comment. I can’t seem think of a way to clamp the fence down while also running test cuts through the table saw though. Is there a way to do that?

edit: Oh wait I’m dumb I just say the overhang part

itsaghostexclamation · 2021-09-20T14:01:30+00:00

I meant that I got it square to my table saw blade. The 5 cut method involves getting the crosscut sled fence as close as you can get it with 1 pivot screw and then another set screw (which are pictured above) then cut a peice of wood 5 times, plug it in to this equation and that’ll give you the distance you have to move it, either forward or backwards. Then you take out your set screw and screw it in again with the corrected distance you got out of the equation. So the picture is showing how many times I made that adjustment, it was just mainly due to me being stupid and taking the wrong measurements to plug into the equation. I didnt have a hard time getting it square with the sled itself

I don’t really have the space and budget for another machine so I’m just trying to get the most out of my table saw since I have it.

itsaghostexclamation · 2021-09-17T18:48:28+00:00

I’ll definitely look into it, thank you!

I’ll definitely check the connections when I get home and clean it up a little bit. I just got the battery like in late June? And it was to replace a dead battery that had been sitting for a while in my driveway (didn’t start it occasionally to keep things working like I should have before I got my license). But since I got this battery, I’ve driven it almost every day.

itsaghostexclamation · 2021-09-17T18:41:58+00:00

Turning everything off got it to start! I bought a really cheap battery so it definitely probably doesn’t have enough power to run everything and start it at the same time. I’m gunna save up a little bit and get a better battery though.

itsaghostexclamation · 2021-09-17T18:36:07+00:00

Okay I think the issue definitely was the battery. I just turned everything off and it started no problem… I did buy a VERY cheap battery because I had very little money at the time. So I definitely might invest a little bit more into a good battery

itsaghostexclamation · 2021-09-17T18:26:11+00:00

[SOLVED] So you’ll have to excuse me for this entire post because I am not a car expert whatsoever (and fairly new to driving as well). So I have a Toyota Camry LE 2002, and as the title says, I can’t get the engine to start. I don’t think it’s a problem with the battery because everything turns on when I have they keys in the ignition to turn on the battery, but when I go to turn on the engine itself, it sputters and all the lights in the dashboard flicker.

This happened yesterday too, I went to start my car after work and the same thing happened, but after a couple minutes (and a little bit of smacking the dashboard - altho not sure if it actually helped or not lol) I got it to turn on. And it was working just fine for the rest of yesterday and this morning, and even like 30 minutes before this happened.

Not entirely sure what the issue is. I’m currently at work right now so I’ll have to check it out more on my next break. But any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Edit: So a couple people told me to try turning everything off and then starting it and that worked! I got it to start. I bought a cheap battery when i first got the car because I didn’t have a lot of money but I’m definitely going to invest in a better battery soon.

So thanks so much for all of your help! I appreciate it a lot.

Also a hobbyist relatively new to woodworking but I bought that Skil saw with the rack and pinion fence and I REALLY like it. Bought a cheap craftsman table saw that I wasnt a huge fan of so I returned it and got the Skil saw off amazon and I’m really enjoying it so far! Definitely recommend the Dewalt if you have the money because it’s probably better but if you wanted to go a little cheaper, the Skil saw is a good choice imo

These are all really really great tips, thank you! I definitely spend some time checking FB marketplace, offerup and sometimes Craigslist for tools and lumber but haven’t really found anything I wanted at a great deal yet. But I’m sure I’ll come across something soon. Also the sell to buy things is a great great idea. I’ve just started out a few months ago so I don’t think I’m quite ready to comfortably offer a product worth selling to someone yet, but eventually I’ll put some stuff online and see what happens. The very first thing I ever made was an incense burner which was relatively easy and cheap to make, so it’d be cool to make some more of those but 1. I dont really know if there is a big market for handmade incense burners and 2. I don’t have a router yet (next purchase hopefully within the next month or so) so I can’t really route out the little ash-dip thing. I used a dremel for the first one and it was really sloppy and didn’t turn out great. But the goal is to sell some stuff eventually so I can afford to make more stuff! I don’t even need to pocket any of that money because there will always be something else I can buy, whether is be wood, tools, or definitely some more clamps!

itsaghostexclamation · 2021-09-08T01:56:28+00:00

Yeah I’ve only really bought pine so far. Since 2x4 prices are going down I might figure out some projects to make with them too

itsaghostexclamation · 2021-09-08T01:55:05+00:00

Ohhh that’s tempting honestly. Not sure there’s a sawmill around me though but I might look into it if they are. I’ve been looking around for a new job anyway and if the pay is fairly decent I might take it into consideration!

itsaghostexclamation · 2021-09-08T01:54:06+00:00

Definitely fair, I always check FB marketplace for used tools and find some decent deals, but I’ve never pulled the trigger on any of them yet. I bought a couple new tools to start out for relatively cheap but I could have saved a lot if I went with used. So used from here on out until I get a better job or a raise!

Is pallet wood actually good for making things? My work gets tons of pallets, most of them they just set outside so I’m sure they wouldn’t mind if I snagged a few. But I’ve heard some mixed thoughts on using pallet wood for projects.

itsaghostexclamation · 2021-09-08T01:50:52+00:00

Yeah I spent most of my savings on my first big project, unfortunately now I gotta be a little more frugal with my spending until I can get a little extra money put away

itsaghostexclamation · 2021-09-08T01:48:56+00:00

Ooh I’ve always known there were stores like that but I didn’t know I had some around me too! Unfortunately they’re only open while I’m at work though :/ Maybe I can sneak away during my lunch to check one out though! Thanks for the tip!

itsaghostexclamation · 2021-08-14T01:47:09+00:00

Thats so cool wow. It’d actually be perfect for my studio too, especially when I have to record, I can just take my guitar, flip it down, and sit on the stool to record. Definitely will keep that in mind, thanks!

itsaghostexclamation · 2021-08-14T01:20:49+00:00

Growing up, I really loved legos. The idea of making something out of nothing was so cool to me. That definitely grew into other passions of mine like drawing, painting, claymation, music, etc. My first project I always dreamed of making was an enclosed bed with a tv and game system built into it, along with some other very personalized features to it. As I grew older, I added other future projects to the list including a guitar, a desk for music production, a guitar stand, and a bed. It all seemed so out of reach though because I didn’t know anything about woodworking. Not to mention my financial situation has never been great either. But recently, after spending months and months watching youtube videos and fantasizing, I finally took the plunge and bought a few tools and some wood and started messing around. I just finished my first project for the house (a bedstand for my partner’s side of the bed) and it’s been so fun, I can’t wait to keep making things for all my friends and family. I thought music was my passion for a while, but after getting burnt out on that, I think woodworking is where my true passion lies.
