very nice!

hell yes! I'm my case, I rode a dirt bike just next to the highway jumping overpasses, dodging trees and whatever else I needed to do to keep pace with the car without crashing

you'll probably need to talk to some people about it before you secure patent protection. whenever this comes up, have people you talk to sign a non disclosure agreement first. talking about your idea outside of an NDA would most likely be considered public disclosure and could limit your ability to get a payment for it.

talk to a patent attorney

it looks great! thanks for sharing your experience with the half blind dovetails in plywood. do you think you would have gotten better results with better plywood? Baltic Birch?

crowded thread but since I teach at a university (adjunct professor) maybe I have a unique perspective.

people rarely say exactly what they mean. even when someone tries very hard to do so, it's easy to interpret what's said in different ways. so, it's probably worth giving a little grace when thinking about the professors intentions.

for myself, the feedback I give often comes from the perspective of helping the student to learn and grow. it's POSSIBLE you're professor was coming from a culture that puts a higher priority on dress than is typical in your culture. it's also POSSIBLE that he gave that feedback hoping it would give you insight on how to put your best foot forward in cultures that put greater emphasis on norms of dress. possibly.

finally, I know which students in my class aren't really trying. sit in the back, missing homework, skip class, don't participate, never ask for help, etc. i try to reserve my limited time and energy for the other students who are trying. in this case, a disgruntled student might get angry in response to that comment or gone to the department head to complain about him. if you're professor feels the same way I do (I realize that's a big 'if'), he wouldn't have said anything to you and wouldn't have risked that drain on his time and energy if he didn't think you were worth it.

when you do get around to making it, batch out a few. the ones I've made tend to get chewed up over time

it'll still look great. no one will care about it as much as you do

look for a 16oz hammer. it's big enough for the biggest job you'll take on but not so big that it's unwieldy for smaller jobs like this one. if you can, spend a couple bucks more for something high quality that will last you a lifetime. buy once, cry once. eastwig is a great brand but there are others. maybe some other dads have good hammer brand recommendations too.

good luck! you got this!

occasionally (totally not for porn) I'll want to check in on Reddit without actually going back to that place. I have a separate account that's subscribed to lemmit.online but I block it everywhere else. cause it is freaking annoying.

just started using Firefox with ublock origin for the same reason. I run the kagi plug-in on Firefox so I can tailor my search engine preferences (https://kagi.com/). I go back and forth between those two mostly.

outstanding list!
