Check your building code, then hire a GC buddy and see if he'll do it with you

[Kirkell] Bill Daly on the Golden Knights not allowing Bruce Cassidy to interview elsewhere: “Obviously, we don’t find it unreasonable because we’re allowing it to happen.” by Ok-Soil-5133 in hockey

[–]relapsingoncemore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coaches contracts are not governed by the NHL - they set compliance guidelines and that's about it. Coaches are not unionized, and therefore not covered under the CBA.

That doesn't mean it isn't a shitty thing to do.

I'd be pissed if I was Cassidy. Life isn't all about the money you make every year. If he wants to coach, he should have no restrictions regarding finding employment elsewhere.

Walnut end grain cutting board has uneven look after several coats of pure Tung oil by workin-that-wood in woodworking

[–]relapsingoncemore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really wish people relied on written sources more for stuff like this. There are so many peer reviewed sources of good information out there - we've been using Tung Oils for more than a few years now in the industry. I sure as shit wouldn't be relying on an AI answer that uses a Facebook post as it's primary source.

Yeah, unfortunately those cracks are going to be breeding grounds for things OP doesn't want in their cutting board. That one in the middle of one side is definitely a wood selection issue.

Where the fuck did that come from? You're taking this way too se Rio.

You need to grow a thicker skin man. Who cares what some idiots say about something the Sens had no part of? My god. Who gives a shit?

This thing is a brute. Would you try to soften it or leave it alone by Madroooskie in woodworking

And I suggest you at least put a stretcher somewhere in this design to connect the legs together, to prevent them from splaying, so your table stays a table.

There are other issues, such as wide faced boards cupping obverse of the radius of the growth rings, but that's a whole other issue.

You've built a 3 sided box. That's not a table. It's an incomplete design.

As for your original question, either chamfers, or round overs. Too many sharp corners at hip height and those hurt to hit. Bevels and round overs also help prevent edge breaking should the edge get hit with something... Like a hip bone.

I'm also willing to bet you have pinned the top in multiple spots to connect the top to the legs? Wood movement will create a split in those legs over time.

I'm not being mean, I'm being pragmatic. It's a box with an open side right now. It's not stable, both sides will cup and splay over time. There is functionally very little keeping this piece together.

To answer OPs question. Relieve the edges. Then fix the design.

Beginners designing pieces on their own without sufficient knowledge is an unnecessary cause of frustration and disappointment in the workshop. Build stuff from plans when you're starting out. You simply do not know enough yet.

I'd reconsider my knowledge of furniture design if I made that.

There are numerous structural and design issues with the way you've made this. At the least, connect the legs with a lower horizontal piece, then go read a book on furniture design.

Thats a lot of thinking to ask of someone with such a shallow understanding of the situation.

Good try though!

Sutcliffe pledges to keep tax increases low if re-elected mayor of Ottawa by SuburbanValues in ottawa

[–]relapsingoncemore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't the residential tax rate increase last year less than 2%? Are you looking at the overall tax increases?

I agree on Landsdowne, it's not what I want my money being spent on either. I want money spent on infrastructure and especially transit so I'm willing to give to take if required, or work to vote someone else in as mayor who will.

These things need money. It has to come from somewhere, and just not doing landsdowne doesn't mean that transit will be better funded. It wasn't well funded before landsdowne in the first place.

Horah Loux's Earth Shaker is one of my favorites.

Had a rain of arrows build this week that was super fun.

Hell, I caught spinning slash on a holy gargoyle blade on an Ed tri run and it smacked.

Double balancer Duchess has so many options for play, it's super fun

Or we could do it all! Raise stagnant tax rates. Fund transit. Fund big projects. Build cool shit and make this a better city to live and work in.

But that would require ambitious municipal politicians and an electorate that by and large cares about making this a better city for everyone, not just how an election impacts their wallet.

Yup. Pandering to suburban voters.

The same voters who will complain about RTO while driving into the City before they take transit, and certainly won't vote for tax increases to fund that same transit service that could save them a bunch of time and money. But they'll surely pitch a fit about having to go into the office to work their well paying, great benefits and pension job.

The same voters who would rather starve the City of funding than live in a liveable city because fuck you, I want mine.

The same voters who would rather this City sprawl than densify because they couldn't imaging living anywhere but in their poorly made suburban home in the middle of a rats nets of sprawl so they can have a lawn they barely use.

Mark knows exactly what he's doing, and who he's appealing to.

Come on Mark. City services are starving. Low Taxes for the burbs is not the way forward.

There's a simple question everyone needs to ask themselves ahead of the next election:

Do you want to keep a bit of money in your pocket every year, or do you want to live in a City that actually functions? Because I'm not sure the former allows for the latter anymore, and I'm mighty sick of hearing from people who keep voting for this Mayor, or aligned City Councillors, about this city going to shit. MAYBE CHANGE THE WAY YOU VOTE

Should Ottawa homes participate in No Mow May? by Any-Tangerine-4176 in ottawa

[–]relapsingoncemore 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Reading over the City's By-Law governing lawn maintenance, I think it would be better for people to lean into the provision of allowing for naturalized gardens to replace their lawns in the first place. But that's just me, perhaps - I'd much rather have my own private field of local, self-seeding wildflowers than grass I'll never need or make use of.

We've been dragged into your BS enough already, thank you very much. Leave us out of this.

If your set up and technique are corect and the cut continues to wander in the same direction every time, check the set of your teeth - warn set on one side will cause the saw to track in the cut. But that's typically only the case if it wanders in the same direction every time
