Today is not going so well. I took advantage of a break in the weather to haul a couple of long 2x4s outside and cut them to rough length. Once they were a bit smaller I could plane them down in the garage, because the bench is solid and stable now and I can finally run my benchtop planer on top […]

I want to be getting more stuff done on the bench this afternoon, but the table saw lift is waiting on milling more wood and the cabinets are waiting on being able to drag the bench out into the driveway to support cutting down a sheet of plywood and I can do […] [Original post on beige.party]

Main quest progress next to zero this evening due to lack of time and bad weather (I still have to open the door to use the planer). On the plus side I did complete a sidequest, because the track was getting on my nerves and in every inch of my limited space. #woodworking

I have no idea how I cut that so short, but never mind. I'll shim it and you'll never know it was there. Once it's fully glued up I'll need to take the temporary benchtop off the bench and drop the frame onto the legs. I might cut the temporary benchtop down […] [Original post on beige.party]

There's something intensely satisfying about milling reclaimed wood. #woodworking

Weirdos: "Why would anyone learn to code, LLMs can do that now" Actual programmers: "I made a new game for the ZX Spectrum"

Vindaloo is marinating, now I can go back to torturing wood.

Today I have mostly been coaxing tenons, which was a royal pain in the arse. But they fit, that's the main thing. I'll build the top frame in place, save me going through that again. #woodworking

It's my mum's birthday and I don't want to create a fire hazard.

This museum exhibition has the strongest point-and-click videogame room energy.

Didn't get much done today on account of the weather and exhaustion, but I did cut and fit a floor for the workbench and clear enough space for it and the rest of the ply to fit in the garage until I can deal with it tomorrow. #woodworking

Having to push that boulder all the way up that hill looks like a Sisyphean task. Very funny coincidence that the dude's name is Sisyphus.

I am in the Outside. It's every bit as bad as I feared. There's some sort of blazing orb in the sky and it's hotter than Satan's taint.

Oh good, we've hit the "fans loudly dying" part of the heatwave. Unfortunately the fan in question is in my main switch, so replacing it is going to mean downtime. #homelab #selfhosting

They call it a food pyramid not a food triangle. That implies that there are at least two other sides, either of which may have a dedicated space for pork scratchings.

Can anyone in the Durham region help. I'm depressed, I'm not OK and I just need someone kind to listen.

Spilled a box of screws. I used to have a magnet on a stick, but can I find it? No.

That's all the remaining joints for the legs rough cut, I can fettle them later. No point assembling it until I can pick up the ply for the floor and actually store the tools on it, I'll stash it away upright.

A while back I got myself some bluetooth ear defenders, so I could listen to music while I run the noisy tools. I even bought a power strip with USB to build into the workbench so I could charge them in the garage. Can I find them? Can I hell. The box was in a pile on my desk, but the gadget […]

All pieces for the bottom frame cut and milled, using exactly all my 2x4s. A few more pieces gluing up, and it's only now I spot The Mistake... #woodworking

I’m asking for some housekeeping advice. When I change the tablecloth on the dining table, I often have trouble with very lumpy tablecloths. Sometimes they are scratchy, too. I wash in cold water and tumble dry low. Does anyone have any advice? #catsofmastodon #mrmittens

Tried cheering myself up by driving through Exeter, Barnstaple and Plymouth with The Smiths playing on full blast… Devon knows I'm miserable now.

Snow Crash delivers a fairly grim vision of America's future, but it was overly optimistic about our ability to maintain global supremacy in the field of high-speed pizza delivery.

Today's reminder to just keep going: I needed to mill down a 2x4. Simple operation, right? You plane three sides and take it to the table saw to finish up. I had to haul out a cast iron table, put the planer/thicknesser combo on it, haul out the dust extractor, hook everything up, do my jointing […]

Went out to the garage to distract myself from toothache by torturing some wood, and I'm clearly not at my best today because there's a bit of finger in this photo. #woodworking

cool fun fact: the greek god of wisdom is named "thoth", spelt "θωθ" in the greek alphabet. so it is ENTIRELY PLAUSIBLE that at some point an ancient greek said "θωθ, what's this?"

Just saw a sad case of GPT psychosis saying he "could be John Connor" and people would still be hostile. Yes, you absolute fucking arseclown. Because you still said chatbots "think" and "reason". You're taking a toaster that someone *expressly designed* to burn a bearded face into a piece of […]

I had such good intentions for today, but it turns out past me hadn't finished cutting any of the half laps so today I've assembled and glued up a grand total of 2/3 of the bottom frame of a workbench (sides, one end and a middle stretcher). It's times like this […] [Original post on beige.party]

Oh no. I have bought an unwise quantity of pork scratchings.
