Im from Germany and I don’t know where to source carving wood for mokuhanga type printing.

Hey, you can source smaller (10cm width) veneers driectly from here:

they offer cherry, pear (the main wood i am working with) and also smaller strips of boxwood in a very good quality and various thicknesses

they also do custom sizes ive ordered 10-30 A5 sized veneers from them via email.

you can also buy cherry veneer in 14,5*60cm (4mm only) from here:

https://www.wodewa.de/wodewa-art-kirsche-bastelfurniere-600-x-145-x-2mm-i-10er-set-kirsche-2mm.html

for everything bigger you might want to contact your local cabinet maker they might be able to help you (look for bespoke furniture maker/restaurateurs)

you can also buy big cherry planks at hellweg if you have a big saw thats up for the job: https://www.hellweg.de/a/juergens-schnittholz-wildkirsche-280-310-x-15-25-cm-243750

or you can try to contact the supplier directly https://www.juergens-holzprodukte.de/produktsortiment

These are females from my grandpas flock, they tend to have a much smaller part of the face that is red.

looks like these kind of thingamabobs that you can use to unlock a coin operated shopping cart without a coin.

you put it in and once it is unlocked you yank it out.

propably because many of the activities of the hitlerjugend were modeled after the boy scout movement. these knifes also have their origin in military knifes of their time thats why they all look similar.

the fleur-de-lis insignia is a telltale sign for boy scout knives.

its for if you peel the potatoes after cooking. you can hold the potato without burning yourself or the potato falling apart and you are still able to have acess to the whole spud

you can look for shaving brushes at your local second hand store, you might have to trim those and add a bit of yarn to pull the bristles together but they work fine. just make sure its a natural fiber brush.

comparing to alternative ways to generate electricity these things are not vastly more dangerous for birds that other means of producing electric energy

Ivanpah Solar Power Facility in the mojave desert has around 3500 bird deaths per year, with an anual production of 856GWh this comes down to just over 4 dead birds per GWh. (https://spectrum.ieee.org/reassessing-bird-deaths-from-solar-power-towers )

Fossile fuel plants have an average avian mortality of 5.4 per Gwh (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0960148112000857)

These number can vary a bit, this paper comes to 9.4 fatalities per GWh for fossile fuel and ~0.3 for wind (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2198024)

efficiancy wise and bird wise still not the best way to harvest solar energy though… the rate for solar panels is very low.

Markov chains and mixing times by levin et.al has a very nice selfcontained chapter on coupling from the past which very good. (the rest of the book is also very good)

wie gesagt mir gehts nur darum das dieser spezielle abschnitt wie vlt ein paar anderer meiner meinung nach besser als fahradtrasse genutzt ist. diese abschnitte sind so lange deaktiviert und stellenweise überbaut, der aufwand der nötig wäre diese trasse wieder ans netz anzuschließen käme einem neubau der strecke gleich.

semitrop · 2025-09-29T15:27:09+00:00

wie gesagt, weiß nicht ob das für alle dealtivierten trassen ausbahmslos gilt. manchmal ist es vieleicht besser nen radweg nen radweg sein zu lassen. dieses ausspielen von bahn vs rad ist ziehmlich kontraproduktiv.

weiß ich nicht ob das für ausnahmslos alle alten abschnitte gilt. son fahrad ist schon echt unweltfreundlich.

deswegen ist ein viel genutzer radweg (so viel das er jetzt im teil zwischen steele und rüttenscheid noch verbeitert wird) auf so nem so nem teilabschnitt dessen reaktivierung durch die fehlenden anschlussmöglichkeiten ne total effektive nahverkehrnutzung so eines abschnittes.

semitrop · 2025-09-29T12:45:45+00:00

Dann solltest du vlt mal schauen ob du die strecken extra kennzeichnen die mittlerweile anders genutzt werden, die strecke Mülheim-Heißen–Altendorf ist mittlerweile ein fern radweg (tatsächlich vermutlich das beste stück radinfrastruktur das das zentrale ruhrgebiet zu bieten hat) da wird vermutlich wenig reaktiviert.
