Cedar-handled bottle opener. Because cedar is so much softer than the hardwoods I usually use, I modified my process a bit.

The handle is a bit shorter to reduce the max leverage that can be applied. I also flooded the handle with thin CA clue, hence the gloss finish.

Mom always said "if you don't have something good to say..."

I've been radio silent lately because I haven't had anything good to say. Still in the anger stage of grief. Posting happy stuff would be a lie so saving it for when I mean it. I'll be back. I think.

My wife is making chili in the crock pot for tomorrow, and I'm making Cajun red beans and rice on the stove for tonight. The kitchen smells confusing. Wonderful, sure. But confusing.

They say "if you see something, say something" so I did, and it will result in better privacy protection for 50,000 HOAs, or about 8 million people in the US.

Software used by 50,000 HOAs updates privacy policy after man discovered 'bad security practices'
The wording of CINC Systems' privacy policy suggests it could sell homeowners' data. The company calls itself the "go-to software for HOAs and COAs nationwide."

While I was parking I watched someone exit the lab then immediately go into the dispensary, presumably after several weeks of cannabis abstinence.

The tech assured me they rarely get cross-contamination from being next to the dispensary. Gotta love a tech with a dark sense of humor. 😂

Drug testing for a new job, got sent to "Any Lab Test Now!" which has a flashing LED "OPEN" sign. It is in a run down strip mall next to a dispensary where they sell things that cause a positive hit on the test, and things that are supposed to prevent a positive hit on the test.

Hey @michaeldag.bsky.social ‬ and @davidwicks.bsky.social, click on my profile and you will see "Starter Packs" in the tab bar. Click that to explore.

TL;DR: Starter Pack is a curated collection of accounts and feeds. Open one to be presented with the list and option to follow all or selectively.

Any Realtors out there? Closing attorneys? I've been asking around and it seems like lots of HOPA certifications at sale are being done wrong. Short read. I wrote it up here:

Are we doing HOPA certification all wrong?

Just tossing the #ibmmq tag in the BlueSky waters to see if it gets a nibble. If I can find another 7 MQ folks I'll whip up a Starter Pack.

Hi Jon - T.Rob from Silent Odd Studios. Taking your advice and taking the time to get set up before listing stuff. About ready to finally post a few items. Thanks for GoImagine! It's the only marketplace I found that made me enthusiastic about joining.
February 15, 2025 at 4:21 PM
Done. Thanks for reaching out! Nice ornaments, but I'm gonna look through the pics anyway. I have a few projects on the queue and always looking for inspiration. :-)

Fellow woodturners, have a look at @mrbill420.bsky.social crazy birch crotch bowls!

Very nice!

I added you to the #Woodturners Starter Pack. You have only the one post but I'm thinking "Dave the Lathe" is a clue you belong there. 😁

So, this happened last night.

Cedar bowl from limb crotch. It is sitting on the lathe but I know I need to up my photo game for store listings. The chatoyance in the heartwood is amazing but I do not know yet how to capture it well in a still photo. Maybe need to do video for that.

My wife added eyes and nose and is getting ready to add ears and tail on the mouse. We are preparing to launch a #goimagine store and he'll be in the first batch of items listed.

If the efficacy claims can be believed, and if you follow the instructions as written, you might be in for a crapload of disappointment.

Here's some inspiration for you. Added several new accounts recently and the list reliably produces good woodturning results.

Tell people it's intentionally designed as a spoon rest. 😆

The grain and chatoyance on that platter are amazing! Thanks for sharing, makes me want to try another platter. 😊

You made me Google Kobo, and half the results were for Kobo Kanaeru who I'd also never heard of so I started exploring that too. Apparently there was some drama in the Hololive community...

Eventually I realized I was nearing the event horizon of an Internet black hole and retreated.
