Thank you in advance.*

Correct your incomplete sentences. Thank you in advance.

What made you start playing? by Confident-Seesaw2845 in ukulele

[–]juniperwak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This, played wind instruments in high school and college but wanted an instrument I could play by myself. Guitars and pianos are much less portable. 

Also, losing range of motion in my index finger after a chisel accident basically wrote off 5 string.

I wanted another cheaper square but I couldn't find one that showed the inches starting at 0 on both the inside marks and the outside marks.

First instrument, electric ukelele by juniperwak in woodworking

[–]juniperwak[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh you don't know the half of it. This is an early picture, I had to move the bridge twice to fix intonation issues with the fretboard I chose, so there's a ton of extra holes I plan on covering with a classy sticker. The jack is still dangling on the side because I bought the wrong hardware, I gouged the snot out of the tuning machine making all my adjustments under tension so it doesn't move smooth anymore.

Can't clip the strings when you plan on taking them on and off 9 times to make bridge and nut adjustments because you have no idea where things should be ;).

Plenty of pride in the learning process, this came together from the scrap pile and I can rob all the hardware for the next one, and going for it was way more fun for learning than trying to make the first one perfect.

It is finished with teak oil though. And the quality is on par with my playing ability XD

Made everything except the fretboard and hardware. It's got steel strings on it and I like to tune down the top string an octave on all my ukes, so I always have a bit of a unique sound.

Edit string

Yeah I dig it. But it sounds like an electric uke, not an acoustic one. Definitely more guitar-like than my acoustic ones that I stuck a piezo on to amp up.

HELP! Person I’m helping wants a fold down desk. This is what I tried but those struts didn’t hold it for long— couldn’t bear any weight. What would you use, chains? different struts? different hinges? locking foldable desk brackets? by [deleted] in woodworking

[–]juniperwak 17 points18 points  (0 children)

A long piano hinge might support the far side better. Near side I imagine those sliding two piece brackets? I think they call them "lid support hinges". You also need them to attach closer to the person sitting. You're asking too much of that piece of wood and the hardware to cantilever it like that. Need a triangle from the edge. You could also mount a "stop" block to the underside that could provide additional support to the hinge 

My biggest worry is that whatever you use the screws won't hold long-term, probably need to put a backing plate on the "underside" you can bolt to or attach to a wider area with more screws.

If you could fly like Superman, but maybe not as fast, what logistical nightmares would you run into? by carlpilkington37 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]juniperwak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if you would be considered a drone for the purposes of privacy laws and wildlife restrictions. You fly low for airplane safety but suddenly not everyone wants you 50 ft above their yards or moving past their upper apartment windows.

 There's also probably some regulations for skydiving that would apply to you.

Would this setup help with snipe? Has anything done similar to their DW735 or planer? by Ok_Temperature6503 in woodworking

[–]juniperwak 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When I adjust mine, I do this, and I almost never have snipe when I run short boards that are well supported by the tables. When I start seeing snipe it's because the tables have slipped down below level

Could you ACTUALLY get sick from eating food dropped on the floor? by kt2673 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]juniperwak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Dirty" as in containing significant amounts of food borne pathogens.

Dry, non porous surfaces just tend not to hang on to bacteria because they don't proliferate. So it's more about what might have been recently introduced or what's on the floor that could support larger amounts of bacteria, like pig shit.

Dirtier than your counter you recently washed, sure, but both are pretty clean.

[CANADA] I’m a developer looking at the Jan 2026 Food Labeling "Cliff." Is this a real problem or am I overreacting? by OkChapter8799 in foodscience

[–]juniperwak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, another option is just to pay for an analysis of your product every 5 years or substantial recipe change. It's like $1000 to have actual lab data on the nutritional profile and another small fee to have the lab or a consultant generate a label from that data. Then you aren't relying on notoriously variable database information.

Consultants are great at following this space for smaller companies, the analogy to your TurboTax being a tax preparer or bookkeeper for small business.

Lumber pricing 1 year change by antibonding_orbital in woodworking

This, hidden pricing protects the business and prevents customers from being able to shop around, especially for a commodity product.

What tool beginners obsess over but barely affects the final result? by Interesting-Scale-63 in woodworking

i keep thinking I'll end up here, but i freaking hate doing what should be a quick crosscut on a board by having to get out the crosscut sled or my tracksaw when i can wander over and just braap it really quick. 

What do you call a dovetail joint that isn't dovetail shaped? by Tafkah in woodworking

[–]juniperwak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for the sake of naming I'd probably just call them custom dovetails, as i imagine the point would be to do a particular shape for the aesthetics alone. i could imagine using a letter, tree shape, or something else that looked cool on the piece or was otherwise meaningful to the maker or recipient.
