  1. Tapped holes with machine screws would also work.
  2. 20 climate photographs that changed the world: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/nov/05/20-climate-photographs-that-changed-the-world
  3. Oat flour works, too
  4. https://www.investopedia.com/bullwhip-effect-definition-5499228
  5. Also add little feet so air can circulate on all sides
  6. The chair looks great! I don't think there is a thickness that won't warp, but using quartersawn wood of any thickness will help a lot.
  7. Maybe they're under the apple crisp I sent ...
  8. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/João_Gilberto_(album)
  9. Happy Birthday!
  10. Dovetails in oak is no small feat. But how sad to put that much effort into a bed for one.
  11. Cookies.
  12. You guys must have used very different sapele than I did
  13. Here's a small desk that goes with the table from above. To make the legs adjustable, I cut mortises in the ends of each leg and I simply press fit different size blocks in them to account for the floor (in a 125 year old house) being out of level. The wood is the same brown oak, but the finish is a soap finish so it appears a bit lighter. The top is a scrap of solid surface, and the corner joints were made how they were to provide corner support. I also wanted to say that I set every one of those ~3000 tiles (a skill I learned from @swt61).
  14. Japanese milk bread (or pain fesse) and some chevre, roasted potato, and dill quiche.
  15. You might try Corian remnants for these. https://www.solidsurface.com/
  16. Something else. This is a cube made for no particular reason - just thinking through an idea. This was a more hand tool intensive project, facilitated by the use of cypress which is very east to work.
  17. More power tools than hand tools, and primarily on the table saw. I use an incra positioner and a custom ground dado blade. I like doing stuff with hand tools but I am nowhere near good enough with them.
  18. The base is birch which I get locally, because birch. The brown wood is English brown oak which is white oak from England that has been killed by a fungus that turns it brown. It's from https://www.hearnehardwoods.com/oak-english-brown-lumber-2/ I used it for my kitchen cabinets, and that bundle in the yard was one of 5 of those I bought. Pics of that later as I am still finishing the cabinet doors. And a detail on how the leveling feet work ...
  19. Here's a step by step of a project that I finally completed ...
  20. This is very flattering from @swt61. I assume he is just looking for more turtle pond pictures ...
