How is this made?

Drill, jigsaw, trim router, and then the tight corners by hand with a chisel and sandpaper?

I read this then looked at it again. Now I kinda like it. The choices make much more sense. I’ve never experienced such a rapid shift in aesthetic preferences before. I don’t know what else to say except, Thank You.

I’ll share a little more awesome, then.

My wife and I rented a rental property using a process where neither the landlord or ourselves used a computer. We saw it advertised in the local weekly newspaper, drove by, and the landlord was cleaning. She hadn’t advertised anywhere else. She asked about criminal history and jobs. But, she didn’t perform background or credit checks. Only after we signed the lease did she ask to take pictures of our government-issued identification. We paid cash for the deposit and first month.

I’m brown. Yesterday, I was moving into a new place and asked a Trump-hat wearing, ex-military boomer what day was trash day. He gave me an explanation of all the good and bad of the neighborhood, told me to use his trash bin this week, and invited my wife and I to dinner. When we showed up his wife asked why we didn’t bring our dog because he’s a member of our family.

Many things I thought I understood about others have recently been nuked by experiences.

I’d say I’m an artist. But, not in a traditional sense. I see that many others said about what I said. And, I don’t want you be discouraged.

When I’m creating something it’s rarely very original. Others have already figured out how to “speak” to others with their art. My art is usually a copy of another’s idea that I’d tweaked. Or it’s an amalgamation of several ideas that I thought would work well together.

But, sometimes the point of creation isn’t to speak to others. Or, perhaps I’m not saying what they’d like to hear. I think this is what’s happened here. No one faults your workmanship. They’re just recognizing that you weren’t thinking about them when you created it while also finding no fault with that choice.

I encourage you to create and share again. This time, make a very conscious choice of who is your audience. Attach no guilt to a hypothetical choice to speak a language very few will understand.

My limited experience beginning with having never having been in any gym, ever, until my 40s:

Most adults that are regularly working out in the gym judge the beginners as courageous. They want to teach and encourage them. But, social norms won’t let them until solicited. If a beginner has also the courage to communicate sincerely then they’re likely to find both physiological and psychological support for their personal goals.

This is generally true for most things. Create the opportunity and almost everyone will teach and love as is practical for them.

Perhaps you should limit yourself to reddit and .world.

That makes sense. I’ll give it a try. Thank you for teaching me.

I don’t actually hate it. I love it because it’s difficult thing to make, you had the courage to share it, and you asked me why.

I don’t like how the accents have little contrast. And, the waves are irregular but don’t seem to follow a natural edge. It doesn’t “speak” to me in a way I can easily understand.

When we want to break hydrocarbon chains we use bases by default. But, I’d not use a base on a bike chain because if it rusts even a little bit it’s junk.

For woodworking why is this better than mineral spirits?

I hate it. But, damn that’s some nice, clean work. You feel like an artist because you are one.

Get the dangerous alkaline concentrate and dilute it as directed for the situation. It’s much cheaper. Whatever environmental concerns are canceled out because 1 gallon was transported instead of 64-128 gallons.

The category of chemicals you’re looking for are called de-greasers.

US: The way to effectively do thos is to open a series of accounts, in a tree structure, in countries that aren’t CRS compliant. Disperse the money into the structure. This will buy time, mitigating losses in the event of an asset freeze, likely not being caught until FACTA reporting to the IRS. Get the money out ASAP. There’s better methods if laws don’t matter.

I’m not an expert, just a hobbyist.

If it’s actual hardwood then, if you try to fix this, you’ll almost certainly end up doing more damage. An expert probably won’t touch any job for less than $750 because they’re experienced artists as well as technicians.

The best case scenario is it’s not true hardwood, instead wood veneer tongue and groove where pieces are easily replaced… which starts by removing all the baseboards and pieces of floor from the edge to the piece that needs replaced. Anyone could easily learn to do that. But, is it worth the time and effort for a couple hundred bucks?

Probably the best thing to do now is to prevent any more damage. That could be as simple as some 1/4 plywood between the legs and the floor. A quality rug is more expensive and would also work.

Future fish food.

There’s the “right” way and then there’s what’s practical. Here’s the “right” way:

Rough sand the entire floor to wood. Fill the voids with Starbond CA glue of the appropriate color, low viscosity for leveling. Fine sand the entire floor. Refinish with oil-based polyurathane.

If you know what you’re doing then this will take three days, most of it dry time. If you don’t know what you’re doing then one way or another you’ll destroy the floor during rough sanding.

While I know a lot less about global politics than other subjects, involving India seems like a really bad idea. Otherwise it makes sense.

No. He’s lying about that part. He worships his own ego.
