A simple shaker style table in white oak, finished with spar urethane and kitty approved....

This is the follow-up to my previous post about a Linux tablet for my workshop. based on the suggestion by @yojimbo , I went with a Lenovo Duet 3i, apparently also known as an 82AT and/or 10IGL5. Sprung for the Pentium version with 8GB of RAM. It has arrived, and I’ve got it set up to start using....

Let’s see if I can keep this relatively short:...

I mean, I know Update 8 ruined everything it touched and some things it didn’t, but…I seem to remember being able to connect conveyor lifts directly between machines and splitters. I also seem to remember being able to reverse the direction of conveyor lifts while placing them. Neither of those seem to work anymore....

I guess I got the finish to look okay on the pine legs and such. Looks great on the oak tops and shelves. Sat down to draw these on Nov 1 and they’re finally next to my couch....

I’ve found my finishing problem: I’m building things out of pine....

My GTX-1080 is getting a little long in the tooth, I’m thinking of going all AMD on my Linux Mint gaming rig here, but…is there anything I need to do or install or uninstall to switch to an AMD card from an Nvidia one?...

I have since bought one of those little “trim routers” but I still do the bulk of my routing work in the table....

Minwax has ruined enough of my projects. I’m looking for recommendations for wood finishing products, particularly stains and wiping varnishes, that actually work, are readily available on the East coast of the United States, and are not manufactured by Sherwin-Williams.

It’s one of those things I’ve never talked about with other people, the most I’ve really been exposed to journal keeping in pop culture is Doug Funny. People don’t talk about their personal journals....

I made a thing today! First time making a cutting board. Came out pretty nice I think.

I have occasionally posted like, cat photos to social media trusting that identifying metadata is removed, since the mouth breathers that design things like smart phones put social security numbers and goddamn GPS data in every picture that’s taken. Does Lemmy strip that data out, or am I gonna have to blank that myself?

So I’ve got a manifold of train stations–one line comes in, branches into like six parallel train stations, and then they rejoin into one line. Each station has a block signal at each end, so the one-into-many section and the many-into-one section are blocks....
