I've had some success with caustic soda and neutralising afterwards with peracetic acid. But it's still like some stains where you get uneven absorption in teh grain. Iirc I experimented with a few species, but specifically with maple to prevent it from going yellow with ageing. 2/10, would not recommend bleaching wood.

This one for me, apparently 48 times Spent only 44039 minutes streaming on Spotify this year, which probably makes up 90% of listening nowadays.

Try some Rubio monocoat - use one of the colors that has white pigment in it (either the Natural, Smoke or White), it's super easy to apply, and it'll give a natural look that might suit your wife's need for a lighter, more modern looking finish. https://www.rubiomonocoat.com/en/c/kleuren/cat/interior/rmc-oil-plus-2c#rmc-oil-plus-2c Sand the table down to 180 g, raise the grain with a wet rag between grits, sand smooth, and wipe on wipe off the monocoat. It's a one coat oil finish, easy to apply, easy to touch up, and easy to remove if it doesn't work for you.

If it’s a stationary belt sander with table, just sneak up to your lines with the sander. If you’re just clamping a belt sander in a vice, fashion the same setup that ensures the most control of the workpiece. When your workpiece is smaller than the tool it’s usually safer to bring the piece to the tool. Otherwise make a template of the radius required and use a router with a flush trim/following bit.

Now that's what peak performance looks like.

No, they rather expect user engagement to continue on the same old rehashed topics. I mean, how many times are people still going to get excited to answering the same old questions like how much is import duty on my bicycle that I want to import because local guys are ripping me a new one.

The way forums have been dying off over the years as people move to other social media platforms and reddit, I’d be very wary of over moderation and stymying engagement of users. There are only a handful of forums that survived, and I can think of 5 that I no longer participate in or even visit anymore due to the above, and this will also then be added to that list. Go on, shoot yourselves in the foot.

Skipping leg day like a pro.

Art? That's a bit of a stretch even for dada. It's just bolting expensive parts to a frame.

Not manly enough - far too luxurious a way of doing it. We were happy with a plank tied to an old hilux bakkie skiing between the potato patches. Standing of course, not sitting down like a soy boi peeing.

Might as well call it off. This is just silly. Riders holding up each other.

Got that t-shirt too, and can confirm, pain wise it was a real beech. For close to 3 years I had discomfort/pain and unable to sleep on my sides. Slightly different op, but the doc cut off some bones, added a few screws, and gave me new ligaments that he took out of my forearm. A lot of shoulder training, 2 dislocations later, and I’m finally ok. Although I still struggle with freestyle swimming.

I assume you're talking about a stationary disc/belt sander combo? Disc sanders can burn your wood if it builds up too much heat and dust extraction isn't good - your pads with also clog up quicker. If you can set up the table square (assuming again it need's to be square seeing as you need to sand blocks) to the belt side, then you can just use a combination of the two. The belt specifically along the grain direction, and then 'grind' it down on the end grain with the disc, remove burn marks with the belt side again.

There’s only a handful of exceptional ones. It’s a rather average variety in general, but probably deserves more focus, planting in cooler climate regions that yields more complexity in the wines. Inherently it has some flaws, where bitterness can be an issue that pops up and warmer fermentations that result in more esters being produced that gives banana flavours that the old pinotages were typically known for. It makes nice Rosé and mcc base wines though.

A track saw is very versatile indeed, and I would even go as far as to say that before you build you own table saw, get a track saw and build an mft-style table. You’re limited ito depth of cut, but if you’re doing more sheet goods, then it shouldn’t be a problem. You’re only limited by your own imagination with such a setup. A cabinet type table saw is rather cumbersome working with sheet goods, rip capacity is usually less than 1m and cross cut less than 600 mm, but for everything else, it’s still the best, bar sliding panel saws.

It’s missing its side table extensions, but you can always use something like a formica top for that. If bearings, motor and arbor runs smoothly then it should be okay.

If you don't already have a decent large circular saw laying around, quality plywood (you don't want to use anything less than birch ply - our other local pine- or shutter ply is crap) and other materials, building a decent saw like that will probably cost at least twice as what a cheap entry level saw would, and then you're still left with the other big factor - can you successfully and accurately make such a saw that will offer the precision you require. The only time I'd consider a home built table saw if I've limited space and building it into a workbench of some sorts. And then I'd opt for one of these Triton modules if you can still find one around; This one is also not too bad for occasional diy jobs; https://www.paoson.com/en/shop-woodworking-homemade-tools-furniture-plans/49-homemade-portable-workshop-plans.html

As a skeptic by nature, it was a bit cringy at times for me, and too much fluff was created for dramatic effect. It's not a documentary as many would tell you. It's a story of a privilege white guy going through his midlife crisis filming an octopus. Only thing that saved it for me was the cinematography. We've gone crayfish and abalone diving in those waters before, but never experienced it like that - truly beautiful and worth it just for that.

They sure that’s double black? Looks more like red, or is that tygerberm double black? [emoji38]

I would personally look for an old school Rockwell delta saws - they regularly pop up for a few thousand. They're old, but solid machines and generally not too much can go wrong that can't be fixed like bearings, belts etc. Just try to find one that's complete with its fence etc. and when testing, let the motor run for a while and make sure it doesn't get hot, and with a new quality blade you should be good to go. I won't get excited over the new stuff in that price range, avoid Ryobi and all these chinese branded stuff. Job site saws are ok, and better than nothing, but are rather limited - most won't be able to run dado stacks.

I got one for free, but even at the time when they were R350-odd I still thought it’s too much money for a oversized plastic syringe. It’s certainly better than a french press, and good enough to take with on holidays.

Haven't bothered, sure it'll suck. If you play it on a stereo setup, you're just messing up the original mastering of the record, by as you say creating a swinging effect. if it's played over a multi-channel setup, well that just introduces more issues with setup/time delays/comb filtering. Call me old school - stereo is still the best.

The irony in eating meat is that you also have to use ‘plants’ (herbs & spices) to make it taste good. Everything bar salt comes from a plant. At the end of the day it’s spices, herbs and other flavorants we use that actually make everything we eat taste good. It’s also the industry I work in, and it’s truly one the most interesting out there.

From an evolutionary standpoint? What about b12 then, evolution made us obligate carnivores. So we should ditch milk for an extra steak on the side, or does that argument not fit the narrative?

I think part of the appeal of the estate wine comes from mimicking the prestige of the French first growth status/premier grand cru-wines, sort of a way to separate the estate wine from the co-op and the much controversial KWV wines in the old days. Nowadays, it's mostly just marketing. Over here it doesn't necessarily mean/guarantees it's of higher quality, unless it's one of the older traditional wineries like Kanonkop. Many wineries can have single vineyard/estate wines, but never bothered to do the Sawis certification. It's just extra admin work, and not like the French's classification system.
