I made a bevel gauge thingy to sight down when augering holes in chair seats
  • Nice! It's a nice tool to have for non square drilling. Just add a mirror on a stand to make sure you're aligned both ways

    Recently completed a side table in mid-century style. Quite the learning experience tbh. [#carpentry](https://kbin.social/tag/carpentry) [#design](https://kbin.social/tag/design) [#furniture](https://
  • Appreciation:

    • Love the drawer handles.

    Constructive criticism:

    • The wood for the legs and base seems to be very coarsely cut on the end grain and it shows through the paint
    • Not sure about the choice of paint color - doesn't complement the natural wood.
    • Photography: Don't use a striped background. The JPEG artifacts make the legs look jagged.

    What movie(s) exceeded your expectation?
  • Tropic Thunder. Went in knowing it was a new Ben Stiller movie and nothing else.

    Has your ergomechkeyboard helped you recover from RSI pain?
  • I had wrist pain for several years (on and off) before I bought an MS Ergonomic Natural keyboard. That and an evoluent vertical mouse eliminated my issues.

    I have since moved to a UHK split keyboard and love it.

    Using a router on construction board (e.g. “Wedi”) to make a beveled corner
  • If it's going to be in the shower, I can't recommend MDF or even plywood. Probably better to go with solid wood if you can, or even better if you can access a 3D printer, use that.

    Removable "key" for electric mains?
  • The breaker panel is outside the shed (I understand this is by code) and low enough to be within reach of my son. I would prefer something inside the shed.

  • Removable "key" for electric mains?

    I have a small workshop/shed with some power tools and want to ensure that my kids cannot turn them on accidentally or on purpose without me present.

    Is there some way to have a removable "key" that I can keep in the house which would physically disconnect all plug points in the shed?

    I'm sure I've seen such removable connections for emergency use.

    I'm not even sure what it's called to search for it.

    How would you neatly and consistently round over the ends of dozens of 1/2" dowels?
  • You don't want the whole hemispherical cup. Just a semi circle.

    The best and traditional tool for the job is a rasp. I recommend a Shinto rasp. Surprisingly fast and easy to use.
