hello world

  • Honor's new mid-range smartphone to have a mind-bogglingly huge battery - 8000 mAh

  • What do you have?

  • The Democrats caused the Vietnam War, lost it and then blamed people for them losing it

  • What's on Ford's head?

  • Dishwasher and PLA create art

    Jump

  • How's PLA for exposure to occasional moisture? I was thinking of printing a holder for a shaving stick.

  • Burrito Wrap (And some Wisconsin history!)

    Jump

  • I've also wondered about Ixonia's unique name! Thanks for the owl and knowledge 👍

  • Wool Dryer Balls

    Jump

  • They work very well. We've been using a set for four years now.

  • Suggestions for a two-child height tracker

    Jump

  • This is what I did for you our kids. Used a bull nose but in a router for the engraving. The graduations were done with a straightedge while the numbers were freehanded over pencil lines.

    I then spray painted it black and sanded off the paint from the flat surfaces, leaving it paint in the engraving troughs.

    Their heights are simply penciled on.

    We're pretty pleased with it. It looks nice and doesn't feel out of place.

  • Accidental cutaway of hole drilled with spade bit. Also is 2x3/4" plywood a good vise jaw idea?

    Jump

  • I think that would be a perfectly good jaw vise. But only put in a few dog holes, as shown in their product photos, to maximize rigidity.

  • I still don't get buffers

    Jump

  • Give CopyQ a try. Open source, cross platform clipboard manager with tons of features.

    One example option is being able to only ever paste plain text. It also has lots of programming hooks, I have a few for doing things like converting a line-feed delimited list into one delimited by commas and quoting the values.

  • gotta get a new printer

    Jump

  • We have the Brother HL-L3230CDW and are happy with it. Works fine with inexpensive toner cartridges from Amazon.

  • Bathroom Scale Caddy

    Jump

  • There's a groove on the insides of the walls that the plywood fits into.

    Plain wood glue for the corners but the bottom is not glued in order to let the sides move with humidity changes.

  • Our toddler messing with this glass scale was the inspiration! I bet an off the shelf letter holder would work.

  • Yep! They let the top expand and contract with the seasons.

  • Gotta spend about 10% of your "shop time" on organization and cleaning!

  • Small Maple Table - made for my toddler

    Jump

  • Thanks! We're joking that it'll wind up as a dorm room coffee table some day.

    I haven't done a shop post. I'm lucky to have a large, clean space for my hobby and posting about it would feel like bragging to me.

  • bandsaw buying advice

    Jump

  • I've had the Laguna 1412 for a long time and am happy with it. A bigger saw will have a couple of advantages:

    • The larger wheels allow the blades to bend less and therefore will have longer life
    • The longer blade length gets you more teeth per blade so your blades will last longer
    • A larger saw will be able to exert more tension, allowing you to use thicker/wider blades

    So the usual advice is to get the biggest saw you can afford, assuming you have the electrical setup for it. Footprints are pretty similar.

    With my 14" saw I primarily use 1/2" x 0.035" Lennox Dimaster Bimetals blades and get great results. With a 17"+ saw I could use a wider blade with lower TPI and resaw faster, but as a weekend warrior those time savings don't add up.
