sounds like you found the zen of it!

nothing sucks quite like sanding end grain. patience badge earned - well done!

that’s great to hear and thanks for taking the time to post a follow up! that’s mighty lemmy of you ;)

got any pics to share?

you probably know this already, but one of the nice things about hide glue is that it doesn’t show up in the finish if you don’t clean it up perfectly the way PVA glues do. of course, you may have more limited access after glue up like Bradley said.

one idea -full disclosure, I’ve never tried this - would be to apply a layer of hide glue as a masking agent. since hide glue is reversible, and assuming you’ll have good access to the masked area after you apply the oil finish, you should be able to remove that high glue with heat and moisture after you’re finish is applied.

old school! just like paul sellers!

people are generally ok. put them in a situation where they can climb over other people to advance and watch the rot begin.

so, while people are generally ok, corporate people are generally not.

never heard of red heart. is that the same as paduk?

personally, I have no desire to live longer than I’m intended to. living to that age with more vitality, however, that sounds great!

do you mean fusion? fusions the one that separate atomic nuclei that we’ve had since the 1940’s. fusions the one where atomic nuclei are combined, that make headlines when the reactors run for more than a few seconds

Can KDE support air drop between iOS and Android devices?

has anyone had any experience with this one? good, bad, other?

you can use denatured alcohol as a solvent to strip the shellac later. might be a better option than trying to burn through the shellac

North East, US here. probably fine but I don’t trust it. we use a water filter for drinking

ever try hide glue? I’m using it more and more precisely because it doesn’t show up in the finish.

I loved stumbled upon! it’s got repetitive after a while, but I found a bunch of stuff I never otherwise would have

adjacent answer, but resource requirements are lower than might be expected since the simulation only needs to capture elements observed by a conscious entity. the vast majority of the known universe has not been observed in any detail that requires significant memory or processing resources. this same technique is employed by computer game designers so that only scenery and elements within view of a player are fully rendered.

having gotten zapped by 120VAC and 230VAC I totally agree. the former sucks and is no fun while the latter made me question my life choices
