In the Redwoods these oxalis make a perfect carpet on the forest floor. I love growing them it reminds me of that
It really is. Whittling is great bc it’s the one kind of woodworking you can do without your shop. Sitting around a fire or even inside on a rainy day
Doug Linker is great! I’ve done a couple of his tutorials. I can’t wait to see that chess set when it’s done
Does anyone else whittle? Johnny Layton is an amazing teacher. His video on sharpening led me to cutting paper with my knife for the first time in my life. Finally having a sharp knife has made whittling more fun
This is great! I love how much he loves and respects good stories and being a part of them. I liked how the interviewer describes his roles as “desperate” and he agrees that those feelings are inside him and he likes drawing them out. Thank you!
Yes I saw that! That was a fun movie. I wonder how much of the real Nic that was
Awesome thank you
Oh man two years? But I want a peony NOW!
Alright that’s disappointing but I guess it’s worth the wait. Thanks the the tips
No pics but it’s just looks like boring lawn
Newsmax should have to admit their truth to their audience too
Good story by another outlet (AP) that’s not backing down to trumps bullying of journalists
The judge had to Point out that the studies Hegseth used as evidence against transgender soldiers actually showed proof they they are good for the military
I don’t think he will. I think he’s lying to himself to avoid the feeling of shame and he needs that protection. He can’t let himself ever admit what he did.
I learned a lot from YouTube with Matt Carves, Cornelius creations, and Logs carving club
Everyone is so surprised! I was wondering if it was good enough. I guess I have a talent for this!
Thanks! I have some videos I’m working on editing together I’ll let you know when I post it
Wow thanks! I’ve been practicing! I guess it shows
Started with a stair tread from Home Depot. Cut off the corners with the scroll saw. Routered the edges with the Roman Ogee bit. Then I printed out the letters and traced them on with transfer paper. Used a Dremel with a very small round bit to cut the letters. Filled with black acrylic paint. Sanded off the excess from the face. Finished with Amber colored Shellac from Bullseye.
Should I move my checking/ savings from my credit union? Should I move my investments from Schwab? Should I move to different institutions or what can I do to protect ?
It’s going so much better this time! I made a stencil out of hardboard using a jigsaw and scroll saw. Then I routered it into oak. Now I’m using a chisel to carve out the pieces my router couldn’t reach, and to make rounded parts pointy. I have completed this bottom corner. Carving is my favorite thing about woodworking. I like to listen to podcasts and just be in my own little zone.
This mirror frame was inspired by an archway in Rings of Power. I’ve always loved the Elven art and design in LOTR. I made a stencil with my scroll saw out of hardboard. But I have the wrong scroll saw blades and I’m impatient so it came out a bit rough and uneven with my hand- drawn design. I had some old oak and some new stock that I glued up together and the difference shows. I glued the stencil to the oak but as I began to router it out, the glue gave out and my router slipped, tearing into the piece. I also routered too deeply I think. Then I broke a piece off. Just one mistake after another really.
But that’s how it goes sometimes. So I’m starting over completely and this time I can learn from each mistake I made. The only thing I’m stuck on is that the hardboard (“chalkboard”) didn’t stick well enough with wood glue or CA glue… so idk what to try next. Maybe 1/4” plywood with carpet tape?
I planted a few here last year and I guess they like this spot
Like fossil fuels come from organic matter that grew because of the sun. Is there any form of energy on that cannot be traced back to the sun in some way?
The potting bench has a hole so that soil can be brushed into the bucket below. I was able to salvage some of the older boards from the old pile of junk that stood there before, which are in the roof. Speaking of the roof, see how some of it is clear? I’m going to build a cold frame into that part of the roof for hardening off plants! I’m having a hard time deciding how to do that but though.
The wife wants gravel on the ground but I’m not so sure. I think that the gravel will just end up filling with dirt and debris and weeds. I think I might prefer to just leave it bare earth. What do you think?

Why does it seem like a yard is so much bigger than 3 bags of soil. What’s the deal
Situation: using a screw gun to drive in the self-driving screws (the star shaped ones) horizontally, and sometimes at a difficult angle above my head. Hard to get good leverage like that. The driver starts spinning the screw but it doesn’t catch right away and then the screw jumps out and falls on the ground.
Has this happened to you? Is there a trick for that?
