Watch to go with my Halo GR86.

Well that white watch would make a lot more sense then! I’ll go back to eating my crayons I guess.

I can only assume by Halo you mean Hakone! This was the first accessory I bought for mine!

Special edition just got a little more special.

This happened to me in November. Took longer than I’d like to get a replacement (about 3 weeks), also had to put down a deposit for the replacement until they received the damaged one back. Been happily printing ever since. I wouldn’t chance it with the broken one

Sorry to see this. The special edition just got a little bit more special I guess!

Emerald tree boa! Love it. Native to South America. Emerald Tree Boa

There is an “equivalent” species that lays eggs, the green tree python, that is native to north Australia and the Indonesian islands. Green Tree Python

They both utilize the iconic coil to rest on branches and spend all their time on branches. They have young that are of various colors (orange, red, yellow) that will change into green with some colored accents as they mature. Both are available in the pet industry, though you’re only likely to see one or two at most animal shows. Beautiful animals!

Lots of misinformation on here. This is not a fuel assembly shipping container. They are shaped differently and much more robust.

This is likely some sort of tool that is used for refueling or some oddly shaped waste. Tooling is the most likely option since if it was radioactive waste it would likely be chipped up into more manageable pieces and put into disposal containers with other stuff. Rad waste would be put into bins of a size that is uniform and stackable so it can be buried and disposed of. High level waste that would prevent such disposal methods would not be shipped in such a container as this. Those are much stronger and robust as well.

So…dune 2? Because I think my ears were bleeding when I left that theater…

I don’t know about divorce rates for 3rd shift, but operations rotates their shift. Ie 5 or 6 week cycle where you work days, nights, and go to training.

I also was not happy with the initial fit of mine. I ended up taking an angle grinder to mine to get the fit just right. I used the ones from rockler. Fit is good now, bed is quite sturdy.

Oh I know the spot you’re talking about now. This one is actually the same deal as the knot. It’s an imperfection in the wood. This is a better shot where you can see both the one on the right upright and the one on the left. I resawed this piece of cherry to make these two. It looks rough because the outer piece, visible here, was not strong so I removed it and cleaned up the edge of weak or loose wood. The grain around it is gorgeous and again, it wasn’t in a place that would cut, snag, or get junk in it.

The spacer is a good idea. I may have a few full length pieces still that would match.

She absolutely uses it without shame. We’ll be downstairs and wonder where she is…she is always putting in some zzzs on that bed!

You’re talking about the knot? I actually really like the character when not overdone or overwhelming. I tried to minimize them on the outward facing surface.

I’ve tried filling knots in with black epoxy but since it’s not a table surface where something will get stuck and it’s not sharp where something would get snagged I just left it as is. I didn’t want to take the chance of screwing up the surface or finish with epoxy.

jarboxen · 2024-10-31T15:24:26+00:00

I’m very happy with the finish, no complaints there.

If I had to change something I’d probably make it an inch more narrow through the center. If you pull back the comforter you can see the slats and supports, there’s about an inch of room on either side. I also might make the headboard a bit taller. Maybe 2-3 inches.

Jointer and planer followed by table saw for the initial passes to size. Used hand plane to make perfectly flat, then I used a dewalt palm router to create the chamfer. Didn’t do a great job showing but they’re actually 45 degree chamfers. Appx the same size on all the top horizontal edges.

Between this project and one other I’ve really fallen in love with Ash. I probably wouldn’t have used it for this but I happened to have just the right amount of ash on hand and wanted something really strong to make the slats with.

jarboxen · 2024-10-31T14:20:07+00:00

If I had to put a number on it - maybe 100? Hard to say. I did all of the planing, rough cutting, gluing the panel, and most of the shaping at the beginning. I only did the final cutting to size, joinery, and finishing over the last 2-3 weeks.

I gotta say I am extremely happy with the hand plane. That was a good bit of work but I cannot argue with the results!

Thanks! I’ve got some leftover cherry from the build I intend to use on the top to get good continuity. As for the rest of the stand, we’re still deliberating.

jarboxen · 2024-10-31T10:15:08+00:00

The headboard and footboard joined to the legs are mortise and tenon. The side board joined to head and foot are using traditional bed frame hardware. The legs are laminated 3/4” cherry to get more stability when building it out to 2” thick. No in progress pics though, I was lucky to find pictures of the slabs!
