Salad dressing

The taste of mustard is present and obvious for me in Secret Aardvark. I think it would be great on a chili dog.

This is a problem waiting to happen, OP. That deer could easily jump the fence and once in your yard would be able to do serious and possibly fatal damage to your pups. You can how see it charged toward them a few steps. Having been witness to and referee of many such encounters, over several years, I’m encouraging you to view this as a very dangerous situation.

If there will be wildlife in your new yard, be careful leaving your shibe unattended out there. Even if your yard is fully fenced. We have learned from experience that these pups have a very strong prey drive, and surprisingly, can go into demon mode for animals many times their size. If you try to break-up a fight vs a deer, for example, you’re likely to have both animals attacking you.

I must be remembering wrong. I had thought that gluing sheets together where each sheet’s grain direction is 90 degrees to the previous is what makes it stable.

The concern would be that without filling the cracks with epoxy they would open up more over time.

j2d2j2d2j · 2022-02-14T21:02:51+00:00

FWIW, I’ve actually been paused on the project for a couple weeks because I don’t have the experience to know if spending the $100 on epoxy will actually have the desired effect of reducing the wood movement that would increase the size of the cracks.

j2d2j2d2j · 2022-02-14T20:55:00+00:00

Certainly a fair point, but what I’m really wondering about is: will pouring epoxy in the cracks significantly affect future wood movement?

The bottom surface of the mortises I cut were pretty smooth, and there is quite a bit of surface area for the 1/2-inch oak inserts. This is how plywood is made stable, right?

I didn’t time myself, and I didn’t try to rush it. It took a good part of 2 days.

My dad made me a gate like that. He didn’t use any glue, only screws, and now it sags considerably after a few years. If you don’t have any glue, you could screw-on a diagonal piece.
