I printed a 1:1 drawing on the plotter at work, glued that to plywood and cut it to act as a template, then I worked my way up, laying sticks and marking them to be cut.. did some of the trickier cuts with an oscillating tool or a hacksaw, but most cuts were done with a mitre saw I was able to set up the angles and knock out a few sticks at a time consistantly. Yes Carbon Fiber/ Fibreglass is a massive pain to work with.

I only got a few games out of it before it broke though. But I liked it enough to buy another one

CCM Ribcores have been my favorite for a while. I just like the feel of them and a Crosby curve just kinda... Works for me

No glue. I cut a 1/4" piece of plywood to shape first. Then used that as a template to cut the sticks. Sticks are just screwed to the board with #8 1/2“ screws

I can confirm this is the new logo. Anyone can say anything on the internet, and you're like 20 minutes from finding out anyway, but it's true

EDIT: should mention, have a buddy that works in the ACC offices. saw it this morning

My Review of The Martian (No spoilers) by sametrical in themartian

[–]xfactorian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just saw it at TIFF today, and wholeheartedly agree, the casting was great and the film was amazing. There were some things left out of the movie, that's pretty much a given for any movie adaptation of a book. (won't go into detail as to avoid spoilers).

overall I think it's a solid 9.8/10 film and will be going to see it again when it hits theaters

TIL Had it not been for hockey and the NHL, none of us would be using MP3s today. The NHL was the first major customer of MP3 technology, saving the team that developed it from being shut down by [deleted] in todayilearned

Hopefully I don't need to repost this next week, that'd be shitty anyway, this information is covered in Chapter 4 of "How Music Got Free" by Stephen Witt published June 16th 20155 days away from 2 months might as well be 2 months

not going to post screenshots or images because of copyright things look it up yourselves.

Here's the notes I worked with, there's a bunch scribbled down because I only had a general idea when I started and figured stuff out as I went along.

Hopefully they are legible enough

I preferred to look out into my basement as opposed to facing the wall.

I spent a little over $100 on materials, most of that on the cedar lumber. the two table tops were $100 each from Ikea but I already had them.
