Thanks! I want to try some smaller / varying size fingers next.
I made a box joint jig following [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyJof__nTR4](Woodfather's video). It's a nice simple/flexible design for those of us without a dado stack.
First try was very sloppy, but once I adjusted the key width and got my clamps set up better the fit is great. The scraps I had around were bed slats off the curb, which were very cupped. But they actually turned out pretty nicely (after plenty of cleanup).
Boiled linseed oil finish.
Good to know!
This is mostly for entertainment, not harvest yield.
Wrapping up its first season, I think we're supposed to get a harvest starting year three.
Table is 1-1/2" (3/4" MDF + 3/4" plywood). The 3/4" holes drilled with a Forstner bit go all the way through. The clamps are DDWT MFT style hold down clamps.
No mention of reparations as part of this apology.
Although the community of Angoon received a $90,000 settlement from the Department of the Interior in 1973, it has long sought a formal apology.
Mentioning that previous amount just highlights that they aren't doing more / something significant.
I would count that, yes.
My spouse is a teacher who has focused their career on underprivileged students in a variety of schools - charter, low SES, yuppie. They strongly support question 2. I can't lay out a detailed argument for it, but I trust that it's going to remove yet another hurdle from those struggling in school (and those already overburdened while teaching), and is not a significant loss to education quality.

I have two type-k thermocouples with breakouts from Adafruit, attached to a ESP8266 (Huzzah I believe). My oven was very old and didn't come with a temperature readout or any kind of preheating status (but thankfully also no builtin WiFi). The Tasmota device reports to HomeAssistant, which stores data in InfluxDb, which I can then chart in Grafana.
Here you can see the internal temperature got to 151F, and I was surprised to see how much the oven's temperature rebounded after I took the cakes out, despite being off.
The recipe is "Chocolate Lava Cakes For Two" from NYT Cooking. It's one I make semi-regularly, pretty quick on a weeknight and delicious. I have small ramekins so the recipe makes three and they cook a little faster than the recipe's would.

I have two temperature probes (thermocouples on a Tasmota ESP8266 => HomeAssistant => Grafana). Mostly for my entertainment, but here you can see the internal temperature got to 151F, and I was surprised to see how much the oven's temperature rebounded after I took the cakes out, despite being off.
Yeah, looked like someone flying acro, not an auto pilot. That would be a fun flight.
You never know, but art from photos often lacks depth to me. This feels like someone really observed the model's / situation's form.
Company started on Asana, individual teams jumped to Jira, company eventually followed. I was always accidentally creating blank tickets in Asana.
At some point I realized people often ask a question but don't really care about you answering that specifically. "How are you" -> actually I can just tell a story about a hobby related problem I'm working on, and not try to represent my emotional state.
I'm not sure if this is one of those cases, but I could see "what do you want for birthday dinner" as actually meaning "I want to do something nice for you" and if you'd rather pick the night's board game it might satisfy the exchange and make everyone just as happy. Though some people might really want to express care via cooking / feel it's important you engage on that topic.
I've built the section of the table that flips. On the saw side, I have 1-1/2" to build up so the bed of the saw is flush with the rest of the table. How would you attach the saw so it's secure to flip upside down?
The top only has holes at the front, for inserting a side clamp.
Maybe bolt through the ends into a block underneath?
I decided to sand down the top, drawer front, and low shelf edges, but leave the spindles alone. I tried to match the stain but the one I bought (and tried on a hidden area) came out too red, so I skipped staining. Luckily several coats of poly ended up close enough.
Before (previous post):
It has seen some water damage and the varnish is flaking off (especially on the top). But I don't necessarily have the time/energy for a full strip/sand/refinish, especially as this may get dinged up; I'm just looking for a reasonably pleasing look.
Looking at the bare wood that was between assembled pieces, it looks like the piece was stained and then varnished. What's a good way to get the old flaking varnish off without messing up the stain -- Citristip, just sanding? Thinking I'll just put some coats of new polyeurethane varnish on as the new finish. Most instructions I see online are for a really thorough refinishing, so I'm wondering if there's some middle ground that will clean up the worst of the water damage and protect the wood, even if it doesn't look like new.
Closer view of the top:
Another angle below. Very dinged up and the end and legs were missing, but seemed like to much hardwood to pass to.
My family had one from decades ago that's falling apart, so I made a replacement. I went with toothpicks as little dowels to help join the crossbars to their supports, since the flat glue joint didn't hold for all of them.
I had this one on my list for a while, but also recently found a video from 3x3 Custom doing the same project.
Always checking for buttons. From JD Power:
Looks like climate and possible media volume have physical controls, so pretty good.
