yeah - that was me, the guy hitting yesterday's low. $15.36 swing. what shoulda been a 20k win at a $35 cost basis instead turned into a $10k loss.
sometimes i think "they" can see my stop order and placed sell orders to eat my stop.
I posted a couple times about being a frustrated newbie and making kitchen uppers for my wife while off for a week.
I finished the project today minus the sliding fluted glass doors - ran out of wood and tools broke.
I live in a tiny home. 600 sqft. It's totally japandi style.
The right was existing kitchen and the left sideis my project. For years there was just a generic shelf. The kitchen wasn't cleaned -- oops.
I built the bottom shelf out of 8020 and edge glued oak for the shelves. The top cabinet is made out of solid oak. I ordered some white Corian for the top of the 8020 shelf.
I have some worries about
use edge glued oak for the french cleat. But it's 30mm thick.
didn't screw in the top of the cleat yet
just in general nervous it will fall
This project was my first time really making furniture ,using a router, making a french cleat and trying to make cabinet doors. Everything went wrong, but I finished and wife is happy.
5.7 in Nara felt as a 3 in Ise. could hear the ground growling for 20 seconds before the shaking.
Worst one I've ever felt in Ise since living here. Only other one I've really felt was the new years day one (Noto?) a few years ago.
I am 49yo engineer getting into a new hobby and giving a go at furniture making as i move towards retirement. I made a japanese style low bed, a shelved bedroom closet, some shelves and a few odds and ends here and there
Been using mostly a track saw but was realizing the limitations of it so did some upgrades that arrived today.
Felt like everything is basically going wrong
* my Kreg prs2100 showed up with a missing part for locking the fence down and so i cant use it
* i hit the fence with the blade on my SawStop cts and now the brake needs replacement. Literally had it one day.
* i can never figure out the right orientation on my plunge router and it constantly catches or burns and i destroyed a cabinet door i was working on making. Somehow the router bit got too loose and descended
* my kreg pocket hole drill outs are always so rough - splintered wood all around the picket hole. I even try to plug them but its hopeless
* nothing ever seems to be at 90 degree angles or straight lines no matter how hard i try
* my router has no dust attachment and literally my entire garage is now covered in dust
* ive screwed up so many times that now i am out of wood and online order is the only way i can get wood because i live remotely
*i regularly get the math wrong or cut the wrong direction of
* i have no idea how to mount the router on the router table. It seems to be missing a bracket or something
This is just the start of it. I am a highly intelligent person and pretty handy around the house and farm. But i am failing miserably right now.
I am off for a week and promised my wife some new kitchen uppers. Sliding glass doors. I dont know how to deliver on that promise at this point. I am screwing everything up. I will be on my 4th attempt at cabinet doors.
Does it ever get better? The people on youtube make it look so easy. I am really broken inside about the failure - taking it personally. My wife looks at me like i am incompetent and thinks i just keep wasting money on tools.
I'm an organic farmer in Mie prefecture. We just pulled a garlic harvest. This year, we're trying to see if there's any interest in our harvest on reddit. We have a lot in the ground - lots of chili peppers in a few months. We do all our own seed harvesting, seedlings, planting and harvesting.
Let me know if anyone wants fresh garlic just pulled from the ground. 1000 yen for 1kg.
We can ship to you via japan post if you tell me how much. Pay by paypay. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mayberryfarm_
