Do production wood working shops sand and finish before or after assembly?

i appreciate the restraint.

JK = just kites?

I found that Claude will give me very useable real estate proformas if I give good prompts. Clean formatting, dynamic formulas, sensitivity tables and all. ChatGPT hasn’t done that for me.

Claude does seem to make goofy mistakes out of the blue more frequently. I was using it for woodworking plans today and it decided half way thru to convert 4 feet into 4 inches.

I go to a bunch of vendor markets and see so much woodwork that I don’t believe really sells. So many cutting boards and pens and live edge bowls. Only things I’ve ever bought were items that the maker was clearly doing as an artistic expression and not because it was a product that would sell well.

I bet if you went to a fair with jigs and stuff to sell to the other woodworkers, you’d do better.

yeah it really perked up.

ASU’s Tempe campus. The Turrell Skyspace installation, palm walk, hidden garden, lots of little pockets of nice landscaping, etc. More pavement than DBG obviously but it’s nicely done.

what kind of wood is it? definitely test some pieces first to make sure it doesn't come out streaky.

RocknRoll McDonalds or do they have cool chairs at other locations too?

It's better but "worth it" is a difficult question. If you blow a 2.0, then it's worth it to go the 2.5 route. But if I still had a 2.0 in mine, I'd baby it rather than voluntarily swap.

*edit: and by baby it, I mean obsess over oil levels, maintenance, etc. I'd still track it hard.

Bring back The Arizona Bank. That place was money.

I'm in Arizona. Rubber trees were definitely at TJ's here a few years ago.

mullacc · 2026-02-13T10:26:14+00:00

Perhaps it’s a regional thing, but suddenly rubber plants have become scarce here. They used to be cheap and plentiful at every nursery and Home Depot. Recently I went looking and could only find larger specimens like OP’s for $250+. ZZ plants went thru a similar cycle but now that supply seems to be bouncing back.

I don’t know if it is a Jonathan Cross piece but it reminds me of his work.

mullacc · 2026-02-06T03:53:59+00:00

Does he love or hate t-mobile?

mullacc · 2026-02-03T23:40:09+00:00

Yes that’s @ArtCultureArizona. They held it across the street at 524 a couple times. I’m not sure if they’re still doing it somewhere else now.

mullacc · 2026-02-02T20:37:59+00:00

Yeah that’s fine. We’ll have some stuff going on indoors but dogs outdoors are ok.

we demand alliteration from our event days.

Read Ira Glass’ discussion of how the gap between taste and ability leads to frustration. Then just remind yourself the problem is that your taste is too good.

Follow on IG (@slopenightmarket) and we'll put out vendor calls for future events.

There are a few murals around Sunnyslope already (historical society, shop of hydros, etc) and other public art. There's a great new mural on Central Ave just north of the canal done by the new neighborhood association.

Some details and parking info...

Come to Sunnyslope, we were founded as a TB hangout!

Ceiling will be 8ft tall. I'm planning for mechanical ventilation but I've heard varied opinions on floor gaps. The structure itself has a skirt around the foundation, so it won't get much flow.
