The one cautionary note I'd sound is that Kreg joints tend to walk a bit unless you clamp the living sh*t out of them. When doing things like the console shown, it isn't a big deal. But if you need a corner where the two planes meet flush at 90*, you really need to secure the pieces well before drilling/screwing.

There's a stretch of logic that is wholly unjustified... Judging "every" LH go bag isn't my agenda. I simply observed that I was willing to judge this particular go bag. Early on, I found things in these that I did actually like—I still use a Grid-It. But the plethora of "oooh, look at me" bag pictures with the…
Voss objectively tested worse than tap water in taste. Voss also (according to my 30 seconds of googling, costs $7 a bottle). $2 for boxed water isn't in the same league. Blk seems pretentious, but fuck it—your friend hasn't tried to define himself by reference to that object in a "show and tell" go bag pool. I…
Rest assured, your desire for external validation is pretty easy to see—almost clinical. Me, I'm just bored. And with that, I'll cease to feed your psyche and sign off.
Yes, end of story. You've admitted this was an ego thing on your part, and by extension it should be obvious that the elements of your "go bag" had to have been carefully curated to tell a story that you wanted to represent you. The idea that you hold yourself out as a visual artist yet you want us to believe you…
I don't think the math is as simple as you think. Voss is definitionally form over function—objectively tastes worse than tap and very expensive (that said, not sure I'd call it "hipster" as much as "brainless"). If you had any doubt that this is an attempt at self-aggrandizement, take a look at Carlos' message…
Good for you. But don't bitch when people decide you are an asshat for the pretentious shit you carry in your bag. End of story.
When it is uploaded to the LH go back Show and Tell pool, fuck yes it is. You wanted attention. You got it.
You think McDonald's makes their buns on site?
He is precisely asking us to judge him by the contents of his bag. That's why he posted a picture of his bag to a public flickr pool—in the hopes that it would be published by LH and others would see it and associate its contents with him. Are you saying a self-described "artist" is unaware of the impact his visual…
He put a picture of his pretentious shit on the Internet for all to marvel at. I've got no issue judging him on the basis of the way he's advertised himself.
Given the items in the bag and the fact that you were the one that put this picture out there for public consumption, I'm perfectly willing to judge you as a pretentious twat.
Problem is that the patch doesn't have any strength. Poke it a few times and the patch-thing will flex, breaking the drywall mud. A thin coat of mud isn't the same as a chunk of sheetrock. I'd rather repair it once and have it stay fixed.
One key here that probably warrants some explanation—it is covered, but not all that explicitly. Don't sand between coats of mud. Once the first coat dries, chip off the ridges and high spots with the drywall knife, then apply another layer. I'll do three layers before finishing. And try to keep from sanding the…
I just use a brush, but tap the end of it instead of actually brushing. Just use it dead on to the wall and tap. Works the same.
Being from the east coast, I'm curious what you mean when you say "eastcoast style sandwich"? I'm serious. I only found out what "Maryland style fried chicken" was when I left Maryland.
I'm not sure I get having three monitors like this. I've tried three and didn't like it. Basically, your field of view is such that you have to start rotating your head to see what is on some of the monitors. And in his set up, based on where his head is likely to be, he's looking at the two outside monitors way…
This. I've always maintained side projects and felt like it made me a better person. Part of the rationale for me, at least, is that my vocation is very intellectually demanding and the cause and effect is very attenuated. I work and concentrate hard, but the end result can be years away. As a result, I tend to…
