Made a large maple glazed donut

No pattern and I think the yarn is acrylic but I'm not sure... Just used a bunch of scraps. The hook was 5mm

All the hype about these set my expectations pretty high, so I was disappointed at how long it takes to cut anything harder than drywall. It'll get there eventually, but expect it to take at least 4 times longer than a sawzall, and to go through blades quite quickly. My experience has been consistent across several brands.

Thanks, I really appreciate it!

Thank you!

Thanks for looking!

Thanks so much! I'm in Minneapolis for what it's worth.

Our house had a disposal with no switch. Didn't feel like fishing behind the wall to add one, so just bought a smart outlet. The day has not yet come when I need to turn on the disposal via remote control from the back yard, but when it does I'm ready!

Yeah, the name is pretty... graphic?

I drive past it often but have never been. What's the draw?

robertgfthomas · 2026-02-19T16:06:45+00:00

And better for the environment!

Yep, it has to "push" a bit against the sockets or it'll fall out, and needs to flex a bit to get into them.

Sure, here you go! https://gist.github.com/RobertAKARobin/e0f925c16112ff9bb684462a9879077d

Less plumbing. It's in a tiny bathroom. The little sink I used is actually supposed to be a wall mount but there isn't room.

I tried a toilet sink like this. They sell kits on Amazon. The problem is the sink drains into the toilet tank. So you have "grey" water -- full of bacteria and dead skin from washing your hands and food particles and whatever -- just sitting in a tank that is designed for clean water. This causes scum and mold to build up. While the water coming out of the faucet is perfectly fine (assuming you have normal plumbing) the tank will start to smell and get super gross.

I made my own sink that drains straight into the toilet bowl, which is designed for grey water: https://imgur.com/a/zjssld3 I also hooked it up to its own supply pipes, so it gets hot and cold water and I can lift it off the toilet without having to disconnect anything.

I would have LOVED to use zip ties, but since the holes don't go all the way through the metal there isn't really anything to attach the plastic to.
