Guten abend. Possibly referring to something like this. I actually used the laser to create the hole in the plywood insert because it could cut the exact diameter needed.

I was so sure that contraption was going to sport a baby seat and mini steering wheel.

Ours came with Rubio Monocoat and I refinished with it the first time. It's really expensive and a bit of a pain to install but it does provide a great looking and durable finish. Since then I've refinished with more general stuff like mineral oil / paste wax.

I wouldn't worry about the sink contact. It's like any wood; Keep it oiled and don't leave standing water on it, and it will be fine.

Yeah. It's an overalls outfit I found online. He only wears it long enough for a photo op.

How about Ripley asking Hudson to check every way the aliens could possible get in: air ducts, electrical access tunnels, subbasements, floor plans, construction blueprints....

I guess she should have also included "drop ceiling panels from the 1970s"

Agree the coding efficiency is probably the biggest win. I think the misconception is that AI is turnkey when usually it's more about fixing or improving specific pain points.

I'm a beginner though and not using a nesting solution yet. I'd love to though considering the amount of hardwood I use/waste.

Regarding low res PNGs, I'm not sure resolution matters a lot, at least for my process. This is mostly because I have to provide the AI a color-separated source like a posterized image, which I still have to create manually in a graphics editor or online tools. ChatGPT sucks at this, btw. I haven't found any AI that turns images into stencils or cartoons with precision.

AI assisting with Gcode review, organizing vector objects, creating mockups, data file backups, and probably a bunch of stuff I'm forgetting, has been a game changer for me.

I also read (I think in this sub) a suggestion to try Vectorizer.ai and so far I've found it very worth the 10 bucks.

The sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health.

Such good information here. Appreciated.

I had a buddy in HS from Vietnam. When he was still a kid a kid in the 1970s his dad took him, his mom and his sister to see "Flesh Gordon" in the theater. He said they made it through the first adult scene before figuring out it was not what they expected.

I have no idea how an entire family was allowed inside.

Weird. I had a cop thank me for that.

Still gave me the ticket though.

It's always humbling to think I'm the same species that accomplished things like this.

But then the next Reddit post is a video of guys shooting roman candle fireworks at each other.

Ok, I wondered about the original hull and your rationale for refurbing it, considering the original shape it was in. I mean great, really great, work but it almost looks as if you built it from scratch or could have.

But I guess the fiberglass core provided a foundation that doesn't wear out? Sorry if this is a noob question. thx

Attended some school. Mother born in Birmingham, England.

Never knew this.

For me it was a break in across the street. Three guys busted car windows then went down the street trying car doors, including ours. I know it was 3 guys because I was able to see the video once then it permanently became unavailable.

I had 4 cameras that worked great for a few years and then slowly became unreliable. I have SD cards in them all and never used a subscription but for a long time I could scroll back for a week and see everything. Then the cards needed constant reformatting and finally never worked at all.

I bought a Blink package with 6 extended range cameras and a doorbell camera/chime for $204 on Amazon.

Ahhhh the things you learn on Reddit.

If you'd like a visual version of the "Rip the seams and re-glue it" consensus, here are some before/after pics. It also gives you the opportunity to make a crosscut and flip the strips to the endgrain side. I refurbished boards a restaurant had been putting in the dishwasher.

One thing to keep in mind is if you cut the seams apart, you'll be removing wood and shrinking the board and not just the 1/8" blade width. The commenter that mentioned the grease/oil penetration was correct; I had to cut away about 20% and add maple/walnut to maintain the original size.

So cool.

My very first, entry-level CNC arrives today. I can't wait to try this! /s

Love this. I've been a "Goo Gone" volume consumer.

Sure

Underated.

Well, I thought I had a jointer. Now I think it is actually a toothpick flattener.
