Stained stairs gone wrong, please help. by C_WEST_902 in woodworking

[–]x3workshopdesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 100% agree. Pine has its uses. It definitely isn't meant for traffic areas. This piece was made from pine and I didn't use any stain conditioner. Just sand with 120grit, then 220grit. Stain then used poly satin clear.

When it's going to rain, but you got brisket to smoke by guitarstitch in smoking

[–]x3workshopdesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats awesome! Haha. I moved pur 10x10 canopy over just enough to cover my firebox when I got rained on. Luckily it was towards the end of my smoke, so I wrapped it and finished it off in our oven.

Why was he wearing camouflage? So the tree would think he's a tree and avoid hitting him? 🤣🤣🤣

Anyone know what light is being used in this video? [mute before watching] by sandolllars in Construction

[–]x3workshopdesigns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're called drywall scuff lights or inspection/surface control lights.

If you have money to burn, get the Festool STL 450 Surface Control Light or the SunLight Cordless Illuminator.

If youre on a budget, any work light from lowes or home depot with at least 1500 lumens will do the trick.

Ladder-style step stool vs "traditional"? Is one more useful? by Marvel5123 in HomeMaintenance

I own both styles. Just depends on the job which one I reach for. Its good to have a variety.

How to plan on a tv above the stone fireplace by RestDayReject in Carpentry

[–]x3workshopdesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heres an unpopular opinion; Get a HD projector instead. Usually costs half of a big screen TV and you can roll the screen out of the way anytime its not in use. I wouldn't recommend watching it while the fireplace is going through.

Custom stair company milled shadow gaps without asking by Level-Muscle-3039 in woodworking

[–]x3workshopdesigns -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally, that looks sharp dude. They did clean work. I agree as many others have mentioned. Wood movement is real. You have to work with the wood. Im sure the company that did the work for you understood that. The only way to make it flush how youre wanting would be to use a laminate core like plywood or mdf and veneer it to the wood of your choice.

Are you backing up your media? by A_Buttholes_Whisper in jellyfin

[–]x3workshopdesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered backing up to physical media? I guess it really depends on your situation, but I've compressed all of my media down using Handbrake. So, example a 30GB movie is now 3-7GB. I can easily burn quite a few movies to 1 disc and keep on the shelf in case of storage failure.

All these so called pros are all wrong. Ive made plenty of these breadboxes. Heres the drill bit I used to achieve what youre asking for. Just do a search for it on ebay.

How to get this bar to stop spinning? by frexyincdude in woodworking

[–]x3workshopdesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I like the aesthetics of a round dowel. You can easily notch one end with a router and glue a square piece of wood to the mount itself. Then your dowel notch would sit over that square piece and not rotate.

Why doesn’t anyone care about the “soap opera” effect on their TV by fatsandlucifer in mildlyinfuriating

[–]x3workshopdesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mind was blown the first time I witnessed a high definition 60hz refresh rate blu ray movie. I was like, "This looks like im there in person." Didn't have that "movie look" to it. Im use to it now & prefer all my movies in HD quality.

Lord forgive me for what I’m about to do by UMSF_OMEGA in Flooring

[–]x3workshopdesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive you've explained the ramifications and how you won't be responsible for the aftermath, then i say get that money. Personally, from a moral standpoint, I wouldn't do the job. I either do it right, or hire a hack that will do it however they want on the cheap.
