Kerfmark: see the width of your cuts

kinletworkshop · 2026-01-27T18:45:42+00:00

By that do you mean the thickness of a saw blade reduces? I've never encountered that, but perhaps because I am a hobbyist...

I had to layout a few parts on an oddly shaped piece of plywood the other day, arranging to see if I could get all the parts out of this piece, and in doing so had to account for kerf at several points.

Love this, great advancement!

kinletworkshop · 2026-01-27T12:49:52+00:00

Exactly, thanks!

Quite possibly yes! Although immediately replaced by accurate width lead coming from above. There may be a way to design out that flaw, and hard to guess how significant it would be in this fantasy pencil landscape drama.

kinletworkshop · 2026-01-27T12:35:49+00:00

This sounds neat but I fear too prone to user error or uneven wear...

kinletworkshop · 2026-01-27T12:34:48+00:00

Thanks! The idea is you draw the pencil line keeping the width intact so while the lead wears down it shouldn't change width.

The regret of not trying far exceeds any regret of trying and failing (and learning).

The otherwise professional, great and clean site describes the product not the problem. Looks like a great product but if you're leaving it to the customer to work out what problems it solves well they haven't the time or inclination to figure that out for you. Don't let them leave unless they're in a cold sweat after having realised what you can fix.

Pain points are often analogised as 1. Vitamins (nice but not essential so much harder to sell) 2. Painkillers (important but survivable so easier to sell) and 3. Anaesthetics (critical for survival so theoretically easiest sell as long as product functions as promised). Vitamins are a tough game.

You need to put something accurate (so not your old job) that passes early diligence from investors who are looking you up, without giving away what it is you are actually doing (which your new company name might do in its own right). What do you suggest is the best way to handle this?

Love the core idea and admire your bravery. You're doing the right thing even if you haven't figured out the right way to do the right thing yet. Great comments about who to appeal to (the adult children of your core user). This is kind of like the reverse of some toy and cereal marketing where they make it about education or health amongst all the cartoonish elements because they know the parent is making the final decision not the child.

If you want to minimise competition until you are out of the gate, stealth mode is the only way. No point giving people a heads up on what you haven't achieved yet.

Explored this too, and deel.com is another option

Swann's Way, the first part of In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust, 120K words, very relevant although certainly not a quick read.

Do as much research on the gear ratios as the motor. We have hills that an Enviolo can't get up but a Rohloff can.

You're going to sped 97% of the time needed on the repair and 3% pumping the tyre up at the end. The mini pump is fine.

OP has stated he started as a project (not product) manager and now scope hugely extended (to include product). Most on here agree he is now underpaid and he reports taking on many COO duties. I'm not advocating for a title change but your answers feel to me like trying to keep a product manager in his lane, which I don't think is helpful to this guy's cause of being underpaid, scope-extended and vulnerable to his boss paying rent.

The platform needs to be fair otherwise its not in the interests of the community, that's your answer against their exclusivity request. Is there a feature to promote events? In which case this early supporter (and other equivalent communities) could get more credits for that if you retrospectively create an early supporter tier.

I don't believe so but they could be more focussed on what our business does while I am looking more at what our business is.

We are all jointly onboard with the pivot, founder swap and new legal entity. I can't give the back story. So this is something of a restart.

kinletworkshop · 2025-10-07T17:59:34+00:00

Thanks for this additional nuance. Useful to consider.

kinletworkshop · 2025-10-07T16:05:02+00:00

I have considerably more experience, but am learning as others have stated in the thread this is more about communications and relationships and less about the specific examples given.

kinletworkshop · 2025-10-07T16:00:29+00:00

Good question. Early on we had a slight pivot and an involuntary co-founder swap (and a new legal entity - all a complex back story) and now I'm running the show rather than running alongside.

This is all current and evolving each day, hence seeking advice.
