If you have other Festool stuff, the ability to stack it all on top of the vac is nice.

What Are You Building Today
MDF is cheaper, moves less, and is easier to work with. It is also more likely to come apart in a damp environment. I personally would probably do ply, but MDF is probably the right choice.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
We had family down from a Covid hot spot in Mass, and one of the people visiting is a RN who regularly tests people. Since it was a nice day, out of an abundance of caution, we had outdoor picnic style Thanksgiving. That involved, among other things, Quiche (a type of pie), Yorkshire puddings stuffed with succotash (also a type of pie), stuffing cooked inside puff pastry (more pie), and apple galettes (a free form pie). To my wife's chagrin, the pumpkin was in the form of scones, so pumpkin pie will need to be made in the near future. For the record, stuffing cooked inside puff pastry is a winner.

Winamp is back
I don't care what anyone says, I still use winamp on windows when I am not using roon. It still has the best interface for local music as far as I'm concerned.

What are you listening to Part the Third
I think I have listened to this 6 times in the last two days. I probably will listen to it 6 more in the next two.

Looks how I'd expect a first coat to look. You should let it dry, sand it, and do it again. That will knock down the raised grain and help fill in the pores to even the color. Then sand it again.

RIP someone or another
Julie Green: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/05/arts/julie-green-dead.html Six tacos, six glazed doughnuts and a Cherry Coke: That was the last meal of a man executed in Oklahoma in July 1999. Rendered in cobalt blue glaze on a white china plate the next year, it was the first in Julie Green’s decades-long art project, “The Last Supper,” which documented the final meals of death row prisoners around the country. * * * In 2001 in Indiana, a prison granted an inmate’s request to have his mother make him chicken dumplings in the institution’s kitchen. Professor Green painted the word “Mother” on the platter that pays homage to that meal. ... In Georgia in 2009, a mentally disabled inmate asked for half a pecan pie. He didn’t understand the concept of execution, and he intended to save some of the pie to eat afterward.

Pioneer M22 will not power up
It looks like the earth wire is not connected to anything. Probably someone had a ground loop and disconnected it in an attempt to solve that. There's a pretty extensive thread on these at SBAF.

Windows Server Expert?
x2 on this. Once you are in the deep end of running and paying for AD, you might as well lean in and get the benefits of the system.

Windows Server Expert?
Is there a reason you don't want to use Samba? If all you need from AD is share and printer access, it should be pretty trivial.

Disolve steel wool in vinegar and rub that on. Will turn oak gray. Soak the wood in tannins first for black. https://www.popularwoodworking.com/finishing/ebonizing_wood/

Megatron Electrostatic Headphone Amplifier
I've switched to using lundahl power transformers. They cost a little more, but I got tired of noise, heat, and failure. And of arguing with transformer winders.

What are you listening to Part the Third
I saw them, probably on that tour. (At Bogart's in Cincinnati) They opened for mudhoney. Absolutely worst concert I have ever been to. On purpose, by them. They essentially played one deep plodding chord for a half hour. Excruciating. But also awesome.

I'm not sure if this is really good, or a little too gimmicky. But I've been enjoying it.

You say that like it took a long time. That's remarkably fast. And it looks great.
