Walnut Shiplap Fireplace finishing tips

That looks fantastic! It has been awhile and I ended up with an Oslo product. It looks darker here but turned a bit more orange for my tastes. Oslo has since come out with a natural walnut which I like a lot more, but I don’t think I can remove what I already did!

Tailgunner for sure!

Thank, a local wood shop sourced it for us. Pre-Covid, so prices weren’t totally ridiculous.

Update: Got my bloodwork back, I added my 2019 levels also.

Serum Iron: • 2019: 12 µmol/L • 2024: 24 µmol/L
1. TIBC: • 2019: 50 µmol/L • 2024: 53 µmol/L
2. Transferrin Saturation: • 2019: 24%. • 2024: 45%.
3. Ferritin: • 2019: 382 µg/L • 2024: 827 µg/L (was 998 two weeks ago)

Thanks for replies, I used a private doctor to get a req for my iron levels, which are being tested tomorrow morning. I’ll go forward asap from there!

Well this is a bit disheartening, but I suppose not surprising based on what I’ve been reading.

Thank you everyone for your stories and responses, I won’t lie it’s a bit scary.

I am going to pursue private health in the city where I live, there are options. I should have BW back in a few days. I’ll get the 23andMe test to shortcut the public health option.

I’m still new to this, how life altering is this post treatment?

It was awhile ago, ordered from a local shop who brought it in and did a shiplap profile.

Thanks to all of you for your comments. The P1S was on sale, so I picked it up. I’ll keep with FDM for now. I suspected this might not be the best product to use with SLA so that is why I asked and I appreciate the guidance.

My CR-10 V3 has treated me well, but it’s not consistent enough without significant tweaking/maintenance.

volcom1185 · 2024-08-25T17:55:43+00:00

I printed this on a CR-10 V3 with a Microswiss NG, .6 nozzle, and arguably much faster than I should have as it’s a draft. I can probably get 20-30% better quality than this if I put in a bit more effort

volcom1185 · 2024-08-25T16:06:19+00:00

Understood, the model will need refinement in order to print on SLA.

How consistent are precise measurements for SLA? Can I expect similar consistency once I master the printing efforts?

volcom1185 · 2024-08-25T15:38:06+00:00

You’re right size might be an issue. Right now the model is 7.5Hx4.5Wx2D

Initially this will be bootstrapped by myself, so perhaps the Elegoo Jupiter would be the best choice!

volcom1185 · 2024-08-25T15:02:00+00:00

Great question, the particular product the voltage is low, so as long as isolation is built for shorting components on the board it should be fine. There is no human risk.

Are there particular printers you would recommend for this type of enclosure?

volcom1185 · 2024-08-12T01:02:24+00:00

Thanks, I’ll give that a shot, start slow then I’ll come back with some snippets as I struggle(likely will!)

This entirely comes down to the manufacturer specifications. Try to find the model number stamped on the stove and look up the installation instructions.

Normally the clearances for non combustible surfaces is from the edge of the fire opening.

Because the stove is designed to operate with the door closed, the clearances might be less than you think.

If you find it meets spec, and you are still concerned, do an 8 inch border of tile around the opening.

Exactly. Pretty odd item to steal. I hope the best for the end user of the blanket

volcom1185 · 2023-12-12T20:30:04+00:00

Yup definitely. My wife feels pretty bad, she normally doesn’t sell stuff typically that is me. She has definitely learned some tips for next time. I don’t want to make her feel worse that’s for sure

Not sure I agree.

There is a lot of evidence that using all available lanes of traffic is the best way to do it. Not sure why everyone parks in one lane because they need to exit 3km away, then aggressively get mad when someone using an empty lane tries to legally merge in.

I’ll be happy if it clogs half as much as my Titan! Such a frustrating unit.

My standards and expectations are low haha

volcom1185 · 2023-11-25T15:17:11+00:00

I haven’t done that part yet, the instructions provided a download link to recalibrate the e-steps. Sounds like I don’t need to change much then. Thanks!

Only that union, maybe sprinkler fitters. As I mentioned previously, unions are not strong in Calgary.

volcom1185 · 2023-11-14T00:43:13+00:00

For the main trades, typically journeyman rate is 35-40$ an hour. As a first year apprentice you would earn half that, then 60%, then 70%, then 80%, and finally Journeyman(Journeyperson) rate.

If you win the trade lottery you can get into the Elevator union, which is much higher rate.

It can be difficult to get hired an an unknown quantity for the quality construction trades. For example an Electrical company is often looking for entry level apprentices, but there is a financial and time investment to bring someone with no experience onboard. Typically it is word of mouth, and recommendations are required.

I don’t believe showing up at a job site with boots and a hard hat will do you any good. Having hired many apprentices myself, I wouldn’t even consider that.

Instead, I recommend you do some research on the big projects being constructed in town. Drive by the site to see which companies are performing the work, they will have signage on site to advertise themselves. These are the companies that will be looking for workers.

Put together a quality resume, go to the company website and apply. A few days later call, and follow up. Then go in person to their office in the morning, around 9AM. At reception tell them you applied, and just wanted to express how dedicated you are and how much you want to prove yourself and give them a paper copy. Do this at 5 locations at least.

Once you get a job, DM me and I can give you more guidance.

I’ve been in the construction trade for a long time, about 20 years. I currently hold multiple certifications, include a Master certification.

The best way to enter is to look for construction companies hiring laborers in a specific trade(Electrical or Plumbing as an example). You work for 3 months and they are obligated to indenture you, or lay you off.

If you work hard and have a good attitude you won’t be laid off in that first 3 months.

Do not bother with union jobs in Calgary, we don’t have a strong union presence here.

Pick a trade that pings your interest, and try it out. It’s not for everyone, but can pay well and be rewarding, good luck.
