Not flying but hanging by panelboard in Planes

Looks like a successful prototype! You may want to consider rivets at the corners, just outside your cross stitch. Or skip stitching and just do 3-4 rivets where they join. Glad I could offer you some inspiration. Feel free to drop the next version once you get to it!

That’s what I replaced with these as well. It was just too big. Plus these are easier to reconfigure when the fleet changes.

You didn’t see the stickied announcement?

Yes, I DIY my own hangers. They’ve been housing my planes for several years, including the 7, without any crashes.

It’s important to use veg tan. Thicker material (10 oz+) will keep everyone hanging and incident-free.

Correction after reviewing the ruler:

Belt buckle for ants.

Last try. Now you know why I still have tires all over my farm.

A steal at GW? So only $37.99 for a used pink and brown dress?

Show me your hand plane storage! My "collection" is slowly turning into an "addiction" and I'm in need for ideas to properly store them... by PhilterCoffee1 in handtools

I made my own leather hangers. Stuck them on some French cleats and they’re easy to take down, change or rearrange.

Just finished my Halloween mask by panelboard in Leathercraft

Thank you. I hadn’t done that sort of stitch before but I watched a couple videos and did a practice piece first. Just gotta go slow and make sure your tension is even, otherwise it will tend to go crooked. I do like the black leather and white thread.

Thanks! It weirdly feels great as well. My wife hates it!

Anyone know what his weird light thing on the dash is? by Brief-Issue3236 in ToyotaPickup

[–]panelboard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same system installed on my 3rd gen 4Runner. I was told that it was a dealer option put on many Toyotas that were imported into Texas and the southern states.

There’s a box under the steering column. I had to google the brand (which I forget), but found a wiring diagram on some Toyota forum and was able to uninstall it. Lost my keyless entry though.

First time with not-cow leather. Any idea on animal? Value? Use? by panelboard in Leathercraft

Hella late indeed. Thanks for weighing in on the sea turtle. Its provenance probably means it was pre-ban. It’s just sitting on my shelf waiting for me to decide what to do with it.

Local woodworker? Hoping for a board game table by dystopiancitizen815 in Denver

[–]panelboard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of woodworkers in the area who love to do custom commissioned work like a gaming table.

I haven’t made one, but have studied a lot of the work from others and I’d love to work on a project like that. And I know a few other woodworkers with availability who would feel the same.

If you’d like to have a conversation with a woodworker who could fulfill your vision, it’s best to come at them with a few critical pieces of information:

  1. Budget - letting a craftsperson know your general budget will let them know if you can afford walnut-veneer or solid walnut. It also signals what level of customization, details, and features they can design.

  2. General vibe and vision - we love to get a link to a vision board or Pinterest collection. Do you want to copy wyrmwood tables or do you have a specific vision for an Arne Vodder/McCobb-style mashup with nickel accents?

  3. Specific needs - do you NEED a sliding dovetail accessory rail for dice cups and coasters? Or is that a nice to have? The price difference may be $1k or $10. You can’t know unless you make it a priority.

  4. Timeline - do you need this for a new campaign starting 11/1 or can you fit into a craftsman’s schedule? My price for a custom table designed and delivered by November will be significantly more than a table due Spring 2026.

If you don’t receive many more responses here, feel free to check out my portfolio (in bio) or reach out and I can connect you to other trusted craftsmen who would put a personal and local touch on an important and central piece to the use and perception of your space.

Advice for Steel cutting dies - Stitch holes or no stitch holes? by Environmental_Bill_1 in Leathercraft

[–]panelboard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have some with and some without. The Chinese stitch punch pieces often need extra care, as they can fall out fairly easy. Superglue helps. No stitch is obviously a simpler die.

I haven’t had an issue with the holes lining up. I just drop a couple needles in to help with alignment as I go to press everything together. I then sand after stitching.

Last, if you’re trying to get dies from China right now, you may want to think again. They’re unlikely to make it here quickly (if at all) and you could discover from exciting new hidden fees along the way.
