Closely related: a little wood paste wax on the sole will make planing easier by reducing friction between the sole and the wood. I’ve also started doing this on the surface of my table saw. It’s pretty obvious when you need to apply more and the effect was very noticeable.

It’s true that I can get caught up in the nuance sometimes. That said, you and I both understand the details behind what you’re talking about but odds are a number of people lurking in the comments don’t. All I was really trying to do was nudge those people away from “substituting aluminum in place of steel with no other changes will result in a better part”.

Aluminum in and of itself is not stiffer than steel. It’s about 1/3 as stiff as steel. That said, it is quite a bit lighter and since stiffness is proportional to cross sectional area aluminum parts can be stiffer than steel parts at the same weight because they can use more material. Strength is a whole other can of worms.

Volt owner checking in. I do one pedal driving 95% of the time and you’re right. My brake disks are in rough shape because they see so little use.

What industry/retion do you work in? I’m over the Midwest and was in the office today in jeans and a graphic tee.

If you’ve never sharpened any before the easiest setup is probably sandpaper on a granite tile (they’re generally very flat) and a guide clamped to your chisel or plane blade. There are many photos of people using guides on sharpening stones on the Internet, but I don’t know how great of an idea it is. Ideally you want to sharpen across the whole length of the stone to promote even stone wear and that’s hard to do with a guide.

If you want to sharpen on a stone with ya guide, a good trick is to color in the blade with a sharpie. This will let you see where you’re removing material more easily, which can help you adjust your angle.

Will the legs be able to take the load? Absolutely. Will the entertainment center top itself need to be pretty sturdy due to not having a ton of support? Yeah. Is this fairly normal for things with legs? Also yes. To me the only thing that really different about this is the fact that you’re using three legs instead of two. This is of course assuming a wood top. A glass top would probably need more support in the center.

We have a similar vintage 55" Toshiba TV. It would be nice to upgrade, but it’s hard to argue with something that’s worked so reliably. It’s also nice to have a decidedly dumb TV…

Have a photo? Is the veneer itself peeling or is it’s finish? How thick is the veneer layer?

According to the bureau of labor statistics, $375 in 2003 is $635 in today’s dollars: https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=375&year1=200301&year2=202309

It’s true that yearly inflation is a combination of a bunch of different categories of goods and services, and that some of those categories will be greater or less than the overall inflation rate.

There’s also things like sales volume, potentially having negative margins to gain market share, etc to talk through. I wouldn’t know where to begin looking for that information.

Surprisingly, they’re still in the top 10 most visited websites. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-visited_websites

Different people can have different cycle lengths, durations, and intensity/pain/flow during ones period.

All those things can also vary for the same person month to month and it can get even more variable as you move between life events (having kids, getting older).

The maverick and ridgeline are both unibodies, but the colorado has a frame.

That said, cafe seems to encourage larger footprints. See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_average_fuel_economy#:~:text=CAFE footprint requirements are set,vehicle with a smaller footprint.

They would have made it pretty easy to catch too. I get a text from them every month when they charge my auto pay, including the amount.

I have a hobbiest’s woodshop in a portion of my unfinished basement. No cabinets, but I do have a 15 foot or so long workbench with a miter saw in the middle of it. It has a few pull out shelves and this gives me a lot of storage. I also have a very overbuilt 4’x5’ table on wheels that has two shelves below the top. I initially intended this to be an outfeed table for my table saw. My basement has a drop ceiling, painted cement walls, and a linoleum floor.

Others have touched on permits and framing, so I’ll leave that alone.

Dust collection and air filtration are going to be must dos. I have the harbor freight dust collector connected to both my table saw and my miter saw via eye with blast doors so I can funnel 100% of available flow to the tool in use. The miter itself sits inside a pretty large hood. This works fairly well, but it’s not perfect. You’re going to want to build some kind of filter box (a cube or rectangle with filters on four sides and a fan pulling air through them, into the box, and out). Here’s an example.

See also: manual transmissions in cars. I say this as someone who, until going electric, exclusively drove three pedal cars. People just weren’t buying them, but toward the end it did seem like manufacturers were making it less appealing to buy them by only putting them in base models.

I’ve posted some variant of this a few times now, but I think there are a bunch of us lurking and commenting on some of these smaller communities. But since there aren’t many posts in them I’ve been somewhat hesitant to post content for fear of being spammy.

This looks very similar to the traditional (eg purchased at a retailer) one I own with one exception: this looks like it screws into a continuous piece of plastic in the table saws track. Mine has two pieces of plastic - one per side. I’ve always assumed it was designed that way so the things it screwed into could rotate ever so slightly and bind in the track when you tighten it down

I imagine PETG would be plenty durable in this kind of application

Which version? I don’t have any troubleshooting tips, but things have been pretty normal over here.
