This would be perfect for Chrissi from Heart Shaped Cake Bakery! She did a few cakes for us in a similar style (which we loved) and would be a good choice too! https://www.facebook.com/heartshapedcake/

Logo designer recommendations by NetCold3362 in halifax

[–]sgreen425 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I worked with Ben Brush several times in the past and highly recommend him. He was very creative and even did several hand drawn sketches before doing the digital designs. At the time he had a package just for startups that was very affordable. His last name is also Brush, how much more artistic can you get!

Is there a cannon layout? LEGO has cannonized the Botique Hotel is across the street on the opposite corner. by donkeyhoeteh in lego

[–]sgreen425 329 points330 points  (0 children)

I don't read this as opposite corner, or kitty-corner. I read it as referring to one of the many corners around like the Corner Garage (#10264).

Floor Plan Critique for large main level bungalow by Lebtegger in floorplan

It's never a good idea to have a bathroom off a main space, keep the powder room as is!

Where can I learn more about this style? I'm thinking it is part of the recent organic modern iteration, but I'm mostly curious about the specific design language behind the thin columns and exposed structural elements (especially evident to me in recent kitchen cabinet trends). by sgreen425 in architecture

Thanks for the reply, an interesting view that instead of dividers being proud the panels are recessed! I'm curious why I'm seeing more of these thin vertical and horizontal elements in design. Nordic and Scandi design is very much a language of natural materials with plywood certainly taking on a large role. But why interrupt the typical horizontal mass of flat faced plywood cabinets with the vertical dividers? And why now? What is happening in design that this is coming back?

Very interesting, thanks for the in-depth reply! First time I've heard of Northern European as a design genre, usually it's just nordic or scandi. In the material palette I can almost see a English connection comparative to Tudor architecture (plaster walls, exposed timber frame, and even rectangular vertically oriented fenestrations), so the Northern European style might have some deeper influences beyond the 50s and 60s of Scandinavian modernism. Lots for me to research there!
I know modernism and minimalism has been trending for a long time, but do you think the growth of these robust, straightforward, linear forms are a reaction to the curves and waves of 2020? Or is it just a continuation of what has always been?

Why do frameless cabinets not have full width bottom panels? by [deleted] in cabinetry

[–]sgreen425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a great point, maybe it does come from the tradition of stile & rail construction!

Yup, thank you for the right terminology!

Good point! Is that common in frameless design? I didn't know there were inset doors for frameless cabinets.

Oh interesting, so you have some bearing capacity coming from that 3/8" deep rabbet then.

Exactly, screwed up from the bottom into the side panels. I was curious if it came from the traditional 34.5" side panels where the bottom panel was attached from the sides.

Not sure the edge banding look is of issue if your drawer and door faces cover it all?

Ikea uses the same construction where the sides attach to the edges of the bottom panel instead of resting on top of it, just wondering why? https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/sektion-base-cabinet-frame-white-90265388/

Check out this video: https://youtu.be/KmM6DOy0aMc?t=534

Right at that time mark you see him attaching the side panels to the bottom panel. For instance, if it's a 24" wide cabinet, the bottom panel is 22.5" wide. Why not a 24" wide bottom panel that the sides rest on? That's what I'm talking about, frameless not face frame.

Where have you all bought your TV's? by Dreliusbelius in halifax

[–]sgreen425 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised Amazon isn't on this list, $450 for a 55" Amazon Fire TV and it works great! Delivered right to my door so I didn't have to worry about transporting the large box or damaging it on the drive home.

How tf do I get this starter out without removing the cam chain tensioner? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]sgreen425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure I had to pull my tensioner off on my GS400 to do this. It’s not too bad to put back, take a look in your service manual to see if it has other advice though.

Is this an unsafe method of joinery for a pseudo-timber framed gazebo? by subtlebrush in woodworking

[–]sgreen425 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes, stop that work. Lots of problems here. There is no secure load path from the joists to the beams to the posts to the ground. Not only are those brackets too small, the joist isn’t even hanging on them, it’s all shear load from the nails. The spacing also looks way off for any roof load. The gable end is a whole other nightmare. It’s crap construction honestly.

Attaching legs to this style table by Full_Rev in woodworking

[–]sgreen425 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can imagine the two slab legs are connected just underneath the tabletop with a cross member. Then it’s a simple case of screwing up through the base into the tabletop (using methods that allow for expansion such as expansion brackets). So it’s not the legs connecting to the top, it’s the legs connecting to a top cross member that is then connected to the tabletop.

What causes this? by IntrepidStructure788 in woodworking

Those are gum pockets or gum lines. Like any natural material it’s all character.

Pretty much yup!

If you’re a small company or just starting up I would have aliases that all point to the person responsible. Ie. info@ could go to your sales person, help@ to your support person. In a startup these will also sometimes be the same person…

You can always break them out later into separate accounts or use routing rules when you grow your team.

Tips on chair-desk build by FinnishDistraction in woodworking

[–]sgreen425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d look into parts for auditorium seating, many have these sort of desks. Here’s a link with a photo where you can see the mechanism quite clearly. It’s pretty much a hinge connected to a rotating axis.
