If I Google "sjowgren lead singer" I get all their names on a site from 2017 as a top result. Are they actually trying to keep it a secret or just not advertising it?

You should let the lumber acclimatize to "normal" conditions and then flatten it. Any method with water is only going to be temporary and you'll just deal with warping in the final piece.

But to answer your direction question, I used hand planes to get stock to flat!

Mostly fiddly nights done today, got the dividers in place and mounted the board to the sides. The only thing left is to oil everything, then add a few more trim pieces that can't go on until the insert is staying in place for good. #woodworking

I made templates to cut out the plywood sides, and with the back panel it's pretty quickly starting to look like a till. #woodworking

Half an hour in, I've got the middle glass panel removed and a rough notch cut out of the middle shelf. This is where the plane till will go. I was hoping the shelves would come out but they seem to be integral with the casework, so I'll leave them in place. #woodworking

Right now my plan is to leave shelves behind glass doors on each side. The middle glass section doesn't open, so I'm removing that glass to add a plane till and storage for the most used tools (chisels etc).

I'm modifying a hutch I got free into a hand tool cabinet. I've enjoyed seeing progress threads that get updated with replies so I figured I'd give it a shot. #woodworking #handtools

I ended up on the same page but got totally thrown off the objective after finding "ding-dong" on the list.

I like how he accuses you of "endless scolding" after his 3000 word essay in his first comment.

Seems like the laser/diffraction grating could just be reflecting the scattered light coming from the lens of the laser? You can see the light coming from the tip of the laser in camera, so this just seems like a repeat of the light bulb demonstration.

I made a fairly simple frame for this print by a local artist) for my office. Slight bevel to add some depth, splines in the mitered corners. All leftover cherry from my previous bookcase build. #woodworking #handtools

You typically will see the end grain on the face of a mallet as it's going to be more resistant to crushing if you're using it a lot.

Not the same plane brand but the same configuration, the first bit is all about sharpening, after about 9:30 it gets into putting it together.

Hello, what kind of plane?

I bought prescription safety glasses; much easier than wearing or looking through two pairs.

My sarcasm was a little too dry, I'm agreeing with you both.

But have you considered that someone might just imagine a scenario where someone wants to look in? Isn't their imagination as valid as your experience?

Incidentally, I enjoy the notion of emergency response feeling the need to look in the window at a crash. "Yep, they're still in there."

I've been thinking of doing coasters for misc gifts with all the offcuts I've got. Just need to figure out a good holder that isn't an order of magnitude harder than the coasters, but still looks good!

In my field, I routinely get told "we've done it before without [some measure I've implemented] and it's been fine!". My counter has always been, "I drive to the office every day and never crash but I still need to wear a seatbelt." Finger crossing isn't part of the analysis.

Probably the same though that minimum keeps going up into my 40s. Though after a stint of night shifts in my early career and then kids, sleep is thoroughly broken and mediocre at best.

Some simple painted shelves out of poplar, with trim pieces added for some depth #woodworking

Usually I build from rough lumber with hand tools, but every once in a while I do a quick DIY project, like these shelves in our home, and it's oddly satisfying to build something in a few hours with off the shelf S4S lumber and hardware. Almost like assembling IKEA furniture!

Your picture is just a solid green box from what I can see.

I have no major issue with it, one of my personal favourites.

Solid cherry with maple back. Shelves are in sliding dovetails, standard dovetails in the top. Face frame adds the curved top and bottom rails, but also covers the exposed ends of the sliding dovetails. Finish is BLO and then (still pending) paste wax.
