all that routing is to cut this profile which allows oak shelves to sit flush on their steel supports

it's a small, subtle difference over simply mounting flat boards onto steel, but this is why you pay the big bucks (£25-£35) #woodworking

not only a catastrophic decision but, as it has turned out, at the worst possible time too

allies who stood with America, who fought and died in America's wars, he now intimidates and threatens with invasion

It's a treachery which will take generations to forgive

impotent fury I know, but it's enraging that Trump lived his entire life under the umbrella of safety NATO provided, and one of his last acts on earth is to piss all over those alliances which kept him safe

i, as a mental IT manager and - I would like to point out - about ten years ahead of my time decided to move the business into the cloud and to that end arranged to sell the firm's servers to some random bloke on the internet

the positive happy it's good to talk vibe falls apart pretty quick

this is such a key point - @ladyhaja.bsky.social had a really good article i keep pointing people to called "it's nothing like a broken leg"

i (bipolar etc) get grumpy with "it's good to talk / ask for help narrative" when that help doesn't exist or people don't want to talk through your psychosis
Lots of people express support for mental health right up to the point anyone exhibits some. A few more will draw the line at mild anxiety and depression. It's when you're babbling and hallucinating that you know someone's love is unconditional.

and today routing rebates so they fit flush on steel frames (the parts for which are in the background, awaiting welding)

god even after he's dead it's going to take decades before anyone else trusts the US again isn't it?

suffice to say I don't ship to the US

the reason this little git looks so #caturday smug is he separately convinced both me & my partner that he hadn't had breakfast this morning

can't quite believe i'm saying this again, but stock of larger sizes is low once more

next batch already in progress, feel free to message me for progress updates

Been ripping oak boards to final width for new spice shelves today

#woodworking folks will note a table saw would be much quicker, but after witnessing someone lose a fight with a table saw years back I try to keep my distance

I choose to believe the argument was over how many eggs he could fit up an "exhaust pipe"

agree! i *never* interpreted your take as admonishment of those who feel otherwise, just really interesting how people can have completely different takes

(should also acknowledge problematic bits, ie Broderick got away with a fine for killing two people with a car, and Rooney actor is a registered sex offender)

Oh no! I adore this film! The "life moves pretty fast" line lands at a time you're tempted to lose months getting stoned

It's about breaking free of family (Cam), or appreciating them (Ferris), or making a new family from friends as you enter adulthood

It's about import of IT/engineering skills

if anyone following was waiting for these, now back up to fourteen in stock and starting another batch

one cat inside the cover, another outside, the third supervising?
January 12, 2026 at 8:28 AM
I swear the duvet secretly has five corners, all duvet covers somehow only have three, and also the cat is helping
It’s often claimed that moving house and divorce are the two most stressful experiences in life. This isn’t true. The most stressful experience in life is trying to change a duvet cover when you’re very tired.

does feel like a lot of damage to infrastructure & institutions done over the last ~30 years in the name of short term political or economic expediency is all reaching breaking point about now

Task for this week is to design some shelves to hold all my shelves to organise all the little piles of shelves at various stages of construction

i care about my little Wildermyth buddies, i think because of the way their lives don't always revolve around the player
