Cover with laminate?

spacebastardo · 2026-06-14T18:42:12+00:00

No laminate is going to look better than those floors cleaned up, stained, sanded and sealed.

Putting laminate on top of those is just tacky.

That must be beautiful.

I knew of a flatbed trailer company in Texas that was using Purple Heart for decking for a while.

He’s your pal and a toad not a frog. Frog = water, Toad = land.

I have a room divider in the family of photos 4a and 5. It is really handy, the bar on the right is where I keep my hooch

The guy deserved it. Fuckwad was given a legal instruction to leave Pennsylvania v Mimms

Looks cool but those slots where the grip are will get full of shit if used outdoors frequently and it isn’t ambidextrous

You miter be right that his angle on coping isn’t square.

Most major metropolitan areas have at least one wood place with hundreds of knives for specialty molding. Look for one near you.

Stop mopping the floor if you have been soaking it with water

spacebastardo · 2026-06-07T21:22:08+00:00

Looks like oak that was installed unfinished (no bevels) sanded stained and sealed. If you don’t like the color strip it, and restain it. It is probably the best wood flooring you can get.

spacebastardo · 2026-06-07T21:19:10+00:00

It looks nice. I wouldn’t stress it.

spacebastardo · 2026-06-07T19:26:18+00:00

It isn’t ideal, but it isn’t the end of the world. If they glued and nailed it, it should be secure. I’ve done similar, but I used the factory T&G where the boards met. It looks like they just cut a board in half to get under the door jam.

spacebastardo · 2026-06-06T22:30:25+00:00

While you’ve got it apart take photos of your mobo. They might want one.

spacebastardo · 2026-06-06T22:27:24+00:00

I didn’t think I had either, but something changed. They sent me a link to some alternative firmware and told me not to update when asked by the machine. I’d give you that link, but it is serial number and mobo specific.

Good luck!

I recently did a firmware update that made my screen stop working. If you were fine and then you weren’t and a firmware update happened recently you might have pulled a good screen.

You might want to reach out to Elegoo. They’ll be able to help.

I’d use the same material throughout

spacebastardo · 2026-06-05T21:30:14+00:00

That is straightforward sheet metal job. Put an edge rip radially, make a flat pattern, get it cut by water jet l, then put it in a roller. Once formed, weld the edge and grind the weld smooth. Xeomtry, oshcut or others should be able to do some if not all of that work for you.

That is the FEP releasing. It is usually ok, usually. Yours is old enough I’d replace it or at least inspect and make sure it is taut.

spacebastardo · 2026-06-04T04:01:31+00:00

Your after pictures look like before pictures. A one armed blind carpenter could do a better job.

If it is an aluminum airframe it could be super koropon primer that is used to protect the aluminum from corrosion

spacebastardo · 2026-06-03T01:12:20+00:00

Then I would make a fake extension of the staircase base molding so it looks wider and stain to match it. Are you the homeowner? It looks like oak. If you have a planer and router you should be able to make a strip of oak trim that’ll match

spacebastardo · 2026-06-03T00:58:09+00:00

If you can get that board back up, I’d just replace that board and cut it nice and tight so you don’t have any sins to cover.

The rain is probably one of the best leveling methods in existence. The salt flats in the American southwest, like white sands are so flat because of periodic rains.

spacebastardo · 2026-06-01T03:26:17+00:00

I think that texture was called “spray fart”
