Ace the shot and win the pot!
In order to help offset expenses, Flyboy Aviation is now asking for a $5 "donation" to play the course. In exchange you get the chance to win the Hangar Ace Pot! All money collected will be rolled back into maintaining the course. Here are the ROE (rules of engagement):
1) Place $5 in the lock box on the post by the covered parking area when you show up to play.
2) If you don't have $5, write your name on the IOU list on the side of the box and pay up next time. Once you're paid up, erase your name. Cousin Creed (the dude on crutches) will handle delinquent payments……you don't want to go there.
3) We can't make change, so remember to have $5.
4) $5 gets you 3 shots at the Hangar Basket from the tee pad located half way down the #22 fairway (buried basket hole). You can throw before or after your round. NO PRACTICE SHOTS ALLOWED!
5) You may buy extra shots in increments of 3 for an additional $5 each.
6) If you buy 9 shots at the basket, the 10th is free! (10 shots for $15)
7) If you ACE the shot, you win the pot, which is equal to half the money we take in. If there are multiple aces, the pot is split between the Acers.
The amount of the pot will be shown on the front of the lock box. My Mom, Lillian will be collecting the money and updating the amount. The maximum amount in the pot will be $100. Mom collects the excess funds.
9) I'm contributing $50 to start off the pot until we raise $50. Then I get my $50 back.
10) The HONOR SYSTEM applies for $$ and # of shots. I trust you guys.
11) BONUS!! If you get a "Black Ace" on basket #18, you get 3 more shots at the Hangar Basket!
12) Only Flyboy personnel are allowed on the Hangar Roof to retrieve aces or discs stuck on top of the hangar. ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS! Thanks.
Remember, if you're not having fun at Flyboy, declare an emergency immediately!

The Ten Hottest House DJs Right Now
The Ten Hottest House DJs Right Now
The proliferation of electronic music all over the world can't be ignored. It bleeds into every other genre and accounts for a massive fan base in every continent. But how to sort through the synths and hi-hats, the 808's and reverb? Know your DJs. This new series, "The Ten Hottest DJs" takes you through the biggest names in trap, house, trance, and dubstep so you can keep your basslines straight.This week, we're highlighting the best rising House music stars out there. House music originated in Chicago in the 80's. It's driving characteristics are soulful, uplifting melodies set to a 4/4 tempo with a kick drum on every beat. That beat's what is known as four on the floor (or four-to-the-floor.) Early house incorporated elements of Disco into a roving, repetitive pattern. Repetition still plays a lead role, but the genre-crossing explosion of EDM is morphing and opening up what house can sound like. Almost every major name in electro, including Swedish House Mafia, David Guetta, and Deadmau5, could be classified as House DJs. This list goes a little deeper, digging out some of the familiar talents you might know well, and some you may have never heard of before. Here are Pepsi Pulse's Ten Hottest House DJs Right Now.

Dynast Pulse
I love my Dynasty 350, I wouldn't give it up for anything, I just got a push pull for my MM 252 so I'm anxious to give that a try and see how it works, but my dynasty is a beast with AL.

What current does your Dynasty display?
What current does your Dynasty display when using the pulse feature? I generally set the current higher than necessary and use the pedal to adjust it. I don't often look at the panel display . . . it doesn't display long enough . . . but I wanted to set the max current on a project and use a full pedal to make a consistent bead.

i will be doing some research this weekend, but can you give me some starting parameters for the dynasty 350 on welding thick aluminum, 5/8" to 3/8" and 5/8" to 3?16" thick ?
substrate is 6061 and will be using 3/32 4043 filler, and need a 1/4", .250" weld bead.
thanks guys... we are currently using a syncrowave 350 and the local miller rep is lending us the dynasty for a week to see how we like it.

we are pretty much stuck with the 4043 filler, since its a government job and thats what they want and what we certified to.
im hoping when miller drops the dynasty off, that they have some variety of collets and cups. if not, i will probably spend some of my own money and get what you suggested, thats how bad i want to try the dynasty out.

Dynsaty 350 EN/EP settings.
I am a new member and have a question about the EN/EP settings on the Dynasty 350. I went through welding school a couple of years ago, but don't have a lot of experience with AC tig. I work at a manufacturer of aluminum petroleum tankers and now have to take a test to be Department of Transportation certified. The test consists of a butt-joint, vertical up, both sides. The material is .194 aluminum 5056, with 1/8th 4043 filler rod. I was running practice plates, with great penetration. Then someone changed the EN/EP settings. We recently phased out all of the Synchrowaves and PrecisionTigs, so no one is familiar with the advance settings of the Dynasty. Can anyone give me a good starting point for this weld on this material?

specific setup info
--if one's goal is to become competent in setup; let alone in AL tig welding.
This link: http://www.millerwelds.com/pdf/DynastyQuickRef.pdf
will help-for very basic reference info.
The owner's manual, section 5, 'operation' deserves time and study.
I've printed off 31 pages of it to help me in setting up the menu.
The more time and effort you expend in learning the setup menus and effects
of changes, the quicker you'll get up to speed.
Why?? not just state some specific parameters--that you've asked for??
-a new AL tigger just really may not be able to use settings that an experienced tigger does
-Old tranny tig machines and old style inverters have very limited options
on arc tailoring. The 350 has an unlimited range---especially in AC.
Experienced AL tiggers know what they're looking for as they tailor the arc.
Low time AL tiggers-don't.
Excerpted from my post in the link above:
****The most critical part your effort will be the operator, which often is not understood or acknowledged by management. As a 6 month old, new user (but not-new tigger) of the 350, I soon realized that everything I 'Knew' about setting up and running previous high power AC/DC inverters, squarewave trannies and conventional trannies--
---meant nothing when learning how to setup the 350. Using old set up techniques didn't produce the same arc
characteristics. I was able to get 'okay' results, right off-first arc.....and then start the learning curve of the little details of 350 setups....just like every experienced user of the 350 has had to do.
(I didn't demo. the machine-first, which I normally always do--knowing from other user experiences and Miller's sheets, what it would and could do. Pay first-test drive, later.)
The 200 cannot independently adjust EN and EP amps in AC, while the 350 can. On heavy AL, this is a significant feature, which isn't recognized by many.
On thin AL, I don't think it matters as much, especially if one's pulsing in AC with high peak amps.
The 350 setup parameters are infinite--which is a real hoot and I'm thoroughly pleased and impressed with this machine. It continues to impress me, every day.
It takes time, practice and study of the Miller setup details in 30 pages of the owner's manual to be able to navigate the menus, sub menus, sub-sub menus and sub-sub-sub menus of the 350's panel.
There's a bunch of ways to setup a 350 and get satisfactory results---some better than others.
[The Miller tutorials are good for beginners, but very rudimentary.]
An operator who has significant experience--knows what they're looking for in the arc and then proceeds to fiddle with the setup to get the desired arc characteristics-that they want.
The 350 is not a machine for learning 'how to weld'.

Dynasty 350 EN/EP settings
Dave, Thanks for the advice. I'll try to download an owners manual from Miller. Being a factory, our company just put the new Dynastys on the floor. No one I know of ever saw the owner's manuals. I know enough about aluminum tigging to know when something is wrong-just don't know how to fix it on this machine. As you said, the adjustments are endless!

Why is there not enough being done in terms of reducing our impacts on climate change?
The issues regarding climate change have been on the rise in the media world (well the non-bias media at least) in the past few months.
1) There is 95% certainty that human activity is the cause of global warming.
2) Carbon dioxide is at an unprecedented level since the last 800,00 years.
3) Sea levels are expected to rise at a faster rate than the last 40 years, and
4) Over the last 2 decades, the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have been melting at an increasingly high rate, as well as glaciers receding in most parts of the world.
This is not the only thing that catches the eye when it comes to polluting the environment. As we speak, football fields worth of land is being destroyed, in particular the Amazon rain forest, due to the need for expansion of agriculture and fertile land. This not only causes the highest amount of biodiversity loss, but is also one of the biggest contributors to release of GHG (greenhouse gases).
Fortunately there are alternatives. In fact, alternative and renewable technologies world wide are just waiting to be embraced...
Sadly, little action is being implemented by leaders world wide to really curb our fossil fuels consumption.
What in the world is it going to take to wake people up? Or even world leaders for that matter? Should there be more consequences not meeting targets for GHG reductions? Less subsidization in fossil fuels?
Let me know your thoughts!
Nov 28 2013: There is the overall tendency for businesses to ignore environmental costs in order to reduce production costs and stay competitive. This suggests that companies are unlikely to be proactive in their management of environmental problems. Given that this is a major representative element of an unstoppable free-market juggernaut (along with a burgeoning population of consumers), I honestly don't think renewables have sufficient wallop of power to keep us in a manner to which we've all become very accustomed.
I think a multi pronged, phased approach to the problem of MMGW is the only answer - which does include renewables, but also nuclear - which has the potential to be clean and safe, given all that we now know.
However, the main problem we face right now is the outrageous over-consumption of power that we've become used to. Heating our poorly-insulated houses to tropical temperatures in the winter, keeping street lighting on at night in the interests of "safety", driving gas-guzzling cars, building streetscapes where it is impossible to walk or cycle... the list goes on. These are the major and immediate steps we need to take.
I take issue on the value of renewables as a stand-alone solution, because of its inherent intermittency of output, necessitating conventional fossil-fuelled power stations to be kept on 'tickover' to cover for renewable downtimes.
Not sure about the US, but here in the UK a very plausible carbon audit has been done on the embodied carbon involved in the manufacture, transport, infrastructure and siting of wind turbines. It showed that the embodied carbon exceeds the amount of carbon saved during their 25 year lifespan. (I know there is evidence for this, but can't find the link just yet...)
Solar, tide, wave and hydro all have good potential, however.Nov 25 2013: Standard of living drives energy consumption. Worries about surviving well today trumps worrying about the fate of your children tomorrow; no one wants to pay for carbon sequestration. We have cheap oil and gas in the US now because of fracking. The more outrageous claim of gas fracking is that natural gas is "clean" because it only contributes 1/2 the global warming gas carbon dioxide, completely overlooking the fact that methane is far more potent as a green house gas; there is fugitive gas at every stage of natural gas utilization.
In American we shut down nuclear power in the 1970's in terms of construction due to Three Mile Island, yet millions have died from coal pollution. Fewer than 100 people have died from nuclear power in the past 50 years. After decades of subsidies solar only provides 0.1% of the US electical supply. In Germany they have an aggressive renewable program but it is only possible because of 100% back up power from the cheap nuclear electricity from France.
Unless the next generation of nuclear reactors takes up the slack, look for more coal-fired plants in China, India and the developing world.
The real danger is that global warming will warm peat bogs in the high latitudes; this will free methane that could, potentially, unlike carbon dioxide, cause a rapid increase in global warming.
Carbon dioxide levels may reach 1000 PPM; this is roughly double the highest levels ever recorded. This could melt the East Antarctic ice sheet again. The result: we would lose the states of Florida and Delaware and a shallow inland sea will partially bisect the continent of North American.Dec 2 2013: Excellent Question Huey,
I believe it's directly due to the fact, 'our lifestyles are on trial' here. And no one has the balls or integrity to confront that...Dec 2 2013: The main struggle is persuading humans to work together. A good wake up call is more, natural disasters.
If ice sheets are melting; why not just freeze and add man-made glaziers in to the ocean? Is there a way of filtering the carbon dioxide in our atmosphere into outer space (what might be the side effects of doing this)?Nov 27 2013: I think the point you're missing is that solar and wind power are being rolled out in the areas where they are practical, but unfortunately for at least half the worlds population none of the current renwables are a practical solution to emmissions reduction.
Nov 27 2013: Your arguing two different things. Where energy is practical is not the same as a practical solution to emissions reduction. Its related, but not the same. Reducing emissions can range from taxing carbon to implementing renewable's, to carbon capture and storage technologies.
Nov 28 2013: Carbon capture and storage is as yet unproven and the whole point of a carbon tax is to encourage the use of low carbon energy sources which, of those that are currently available, only nuclear has the ability to work anywhere and any time.Nov 26 2013: 1) you need to be careful about overstating the actual IPCC findings " There is 95% certainty that human activity is the cause of global warming" The IPPC actually says ther is a 95% probability that human activity is the major contributor. So ther's 95% probability that 50% of the warming is from us. By misrepresenting the IPCC you just give people ammunition in the arguement. To your question, the fact that obesity is the major contributor to health problems in western countries and yet we just keep getting fatter would suggest we will start taking climate change seriously when people we know start dying.
Nov 26 2013: Its over half of the observed average global temperature. But it is this percentage of warming that has had the biggest impact on the rising warming trends observed by climate scientists. So there's not much that changes if i had stated the first point differently, because there is still an unprecedented amount of warming due to human activities.
Nov 26 2013: Transmitting power from one side of Texas to the other is hardly a long way. Don't believe the hype, if Texas was where I live it would be the second smallest mainland state. It's not even 1000km from one side to the other.
Nov 26 2013: Alright fine, how about a 725-mile transmission line from Wyoming deleivering energy to Las Vegas? big enough for ya?
http://www.kcet.org/news/rewire/commentary/proposed-transmission-line-to-tap-wyoming-wind-for-californian-outlets.htmlNov 26 2013: Look at a map of Australia. Perth, Alice Springs and Darwin are all a long way from anywhere. Where the distances are small there isn't room for the wind farms and where there is room for the wind farms the distances are too big.
Nov 26 2013: Im not going to sit here and try to explain down to the detail of how energy could be implemented exactly in your area, that takes strategic observations of the land, and the best available renewable energy resources to fit certain regions (some places are better for wind, others better for solar, tide, wave etc.).
But the main point here is that solutions to problems such as energy transportation of wind farms are being implemented and hypotheses are being tested. Knowing the nature of technology, it's only going to continue to improve and become more efficient. Either we embrace it, or continue to fight it.Nov 25 2013: Mr. Freeman,
You live in a great city, I have visited and have to praise the warm reception in spite of Canadian's justifiable anger of the colonists treatment of the royalists back in the 18th century.
Why are more people not interested doing something about the climate? Good question, been asked and evidentially unsuccessfully answered.
So, let me try...
1. The global climate is in a constant state of flux. It is a cosmological phenomenon with beginnings found in the position of our solar system in the revolution of our galaxy.
2. It's 95% of a small group of people who were asked and the group was not an unbiased sample.
3. CO2 is mostly controlled by temperature of the seas, and if the seas are warmer, CO2 goes up and glaciers melt as do ice caps. Seas warm mostly through underwater volcanos....
4. People do effect their local environments. Large cities create hot spots and weather inversions. Concentrations of industrial activities giving off GHGs doesn't make the local weather better.
5. New alternatives are not that new and can create more problems then they solve. Wind farms take energy out of the winds and that could have weather effect down wind. Forest being cleared in South America... not so much to grow food for the masses as to grow grains for ethanol. Solar panels can work but only during the day so any saving using sun light is more then lost trying to spread out the power for night use. At best these systems are useful for supplemental power but, the basic source is fossil fuels and in spite of the fear factor... nuclear power.
6. The people have heard. They hear the shrieking of zealots about the end of times unless we do something... nothing that can really could be done. They have heard politicians ranting about redistribution of wealth to poorer countries so they don't continue to use "fossil fuels" In legalese, extortion. And the people are dismissing all the discussion.
These are my thoughts.
Nov 25 2013: Interesting thing you brought up about wind farms causing weather effects down receding wind paths, mind sending me a link to this info? I would like to understand more on it. Thanks!
Nov 25 2013: I read about local weather around wind farms in the magazine Scientific American. Summary was that wind farm turbulence mixes warm and cold air masses and this effect can be measured by temperature differences. There was no consensus on the long term effects.... aka needs more study.Nov 25 2013: I'll start by saying that there is nowhere near 95% certainty that global warming is man made. If you have an interest in a long, winded discussion, reply and I'll discuss away. Otherwise, let me explain why there is a damn good reason we haven't switched over to renewables.
The gist of it is, renewables are expensive. Very expensive in fact. Twenty times more expensive per unit of electric energy than coal or natural gas, or five times more expensive than nuclear is pretty much a best case scenario--most of the time, its a fair bit poorer.
It only gets worse when it comes to mobile power production. Biodiesel in addition to being expensive, compromises your food supply (you could be growing edible crops using the same field), and battery technology currently has only a small fraction of the energy density of oil or natural gas, which means a very high parasitic fuel weight (which makes the cars and ships preform poorly, and use in aircraft practically impossible).
This isn't about greed, its about maintaining standards of living. The cost of energy affects anything and everything, typically because its involved in any product's transport and production. All that money that went into buying more expensive energy, and more expensive everything else, is money that can't be spent on other beneficial things. Everything from healthcare, to education, to infrastructure to defense to private citizen's funds will be adversely affected.
This is a very high price to pay for something that won't even solve global warming for sure. Even under the (incorrect) assumption that its man made, there is still the prisoner's dilema.
What if only my country switched over to renewables, but everyone else screwed me over by never going green? There'd still be global warming, except my economy is now unable to compete with the rest of the world because I switched to highly expensive renewable energy.
Nov 25 2013: The statements i made above are not my own opinion, they are scientific findings over about a span of little more than a century. There actually is 95% certainty that human activities have been the biggest contributor to the exponential warming trend seen in the last century, its not just some myth...
The oceans along with surface temperature have also had a linear growth since industrialization and burning of fossil fuels, even when solar output declined between 2007-2009, we saw a growth in warming. Oh and just to throw this out there, 97% of climate scientists agree that climate trends during the last century are almost certainly due to human activities.
And there is no doubt about the fact that renewable energy will be expensive in the short term, but the costs of continuing to use fossil fuels are much more alarming (meaning their impacts on the Earth's climate), especially to the countries most vulnerable to change in climate (sub-sahara, southern continents, coastline bodies).
As the world heats, so do the oceans, and warm oceans are like fuel for hurricanes/typhoons, we saw this just recently with hurricane hiyan (strongest on land typhoon) in the Philippines. Sea levels will continue to rise as well, they have now doubled since the 19th century.. Tell me how much the costs for repairing an entire country is again? Pretty sure their not as much as shifting to renewable energy infrastructure. In fact only half of the present military budget (Canada and US) would be needed to pay for the redesign of renewable energy infrastructure. Which, might i add, doesn't need repeated extraction, unlike fossil fuels.
So ill leave it at that for now, i suggest you at least read a few sections of the IPCC climate report before you respond.
Nov 25 2013: Heating has certainly not been linear since industrialization. Not even close.
Back in the 70's, climatologists were actually concerned that we were heading towards a new ice age because of the cooling prevalent at the time.
Let me also remind you that the jobs and research funds of those climatologists depend on supporting the global warming theory. Their budgets have shot up by more than an order of magnitude in the last twenty years because of it. A squeaky wheel may also find itself greased because of it--or to put it bluntly, you speak out against global warming, you get fired.
The media doesn't help. A sensationalist story makes them more money. If its not sensationalist enough, they'll make it more exciting. Same for politicians looking to ride the global warming bandwagon.
Storms also haven't been getting worse, that's a myth perpetuated by Al Gore's propaganda piece. Storms have been doing more damage over the years (measured in USD) because people have been building more and more along the ocean front. If you look at a picture of Miami beach in the 1930's and compare it to today, you'll notice a conspicuous lack of sky scrappers. There's simply more for the storms to wreck.
As for the energy infrastructure, I don't think you understand just how cripplingly expensive a renewable transition would be. A developed country would go into a long and deep depression that'll take either decades or nuclear fusion to recover from, and a developing country would have its economy stunted for even longer.
Digging the stuff out of the ground or ocean floor is still much, much cheaper than renewables, and even nuclear. Otherwise, no one would do it.
The exceptions are geothermal and hydroelectric, but those require striking lucky on geography.
The truth of it is, renewable power generators are expensive, underpowered, and lack an on/off switch.
Then there's that prisoner's dilemma I mentioned. Same reason we can't have world peace, and equally unsolvable.Nov 25 2013: As much as I hate to double post, I forgot one crucial thing.
The seas spit out CO2 when they're heated, and absorb it while they cool. Water can contain less of the stuff dissolved as temperatures rise.
Therefore, it may well be possible that the close correlation we see between CO2 and temperatures in glacial records may be the opposite relationship than you'd think. Heating causes, CO2, not the other way around.
It'll certainly explain why CO2 levels have shot straight up since the industrial revolution, but temperatures have been much less consistent.
Nov 25 2013: "back in the 70's" - were in 2013, and the report addresses why there was a cooling period during that time. Surface temperatures cooled, but overall global temperature in both sea and land have continued to increase. Even more so in the last 2 decades than any decade since the 1800's.
For you to dismiss the results of the IPCC as some type of conspiracy or anomaly, and that their trying to get the continuous flow of funds or whatever doesn't dismiss the fact that 97% of other climate scientists still say human activities are the biggest cause of global warming.
BTW tocloban , main city devastated by the typhoon hiyan, had no major infrastructure in its ports, in fact they had very low land houses and very little tall structures, which completely debunks your "people building more and more" argument. Sure they build more and more, but what's that even got to do with the force of typhoon hiyan, which is independent of costs. Costs play a role after, but warmer oceans still equal stronger and more extreme weather.
Renewable infrastructure is, once again, not going to be easy to implement and will cause some economic instability in the short term, but the long-term consequences of continuous fossil fuels consumption and climate change greatly outweigh the short-term. It's either we mitigate climate change now, and suffer short-term consequences, or continue our warming of the planet and suffer the much more sever long term consequences. Its our choice.
And no, its CO2 that increases heat in the atmosphere, its call the GREENHOUSE EFFECT. This is like elementary climate science. " but temperatures have been much less consistent" - um, no they haven't, we've seen a rise in global surface warming at levels never before seen in history (800,000 years). Here's a whole list of other indicators too :
http://climate.nasa.gov/key_indicators#seaLevelNov 26 2013: Just because you were taught something in elementary school doesn't mean its correct.
Do a bit of research in chemistry. A liquid's ability to contain dissolved gasses is temperature dependent, and water with CO2 is no different. Granted, this is high school level science, not elementary.
As for your link, this isn't exactly a linear rise. There are several decades where the earth was cooling up until the mid 70's or so, yet CO2 levels have been shooting straight up for several decades prior.
As for the storm damages, what makes you think that we didn't have storms this powerful a hundred years ago?
People's memory is a short thing, and organized records of things like wind speed, and even storm damages don't go back very far in most of the world. I rather doubt there is anything but relatively recent records in the Philippines, which gives you a very poor picture of the situation.
The link made by Al Gore that storm strength increases over time relies a false premise. Now, the conclusion may still be valid for different reasons, but poor record keeping means its tough to say for certain.
Either way, we'll never have a solution because of the whole prisoner's dilema thing.
Why should I screw over my country's economy by going green while the rest of the world doesn't do the same? I'll hardly put a dent in global warming, and be bankrupt to show for it.
Even if global warming is man made, better to adapt to it than try to prevent it. You've gotta be realistic about those things.
Nov 26 2013: honestly, its clear your determined not to research any evidence i put forward, and you still go back to the cooling in the 70's like it still has any relevance. The cooling was actually caused by the earlier pollution (aerosols), that reflected the most of the suns rays during that time, but this was of course temporary because the heating effects of rising CO2 naturally took over. See if you would have researched any of that you wouldn't make such a weak argument.
And the GH effect is real my friend, ask any climate scientist, im not even going to bother explaining it because it would just be a waste of typing, go watch a Bill Nye video or something. If you still disagree with it show me some hard evidence claiming the GH effect predictions/theory have been wrong (seriously, if your claiming an entire theory is wrong, show me one piece of scientific literature claiming this is the case). And the overall trend of warming (as the graph in the link shows) is gradually rising in a linear pattern, how you do not see that is beyond me.Nov 26 2013: I can see I may well be talking to a wall.
You're not actually addressing any of my points, just diverting the issue because you're no real answers.
Instead of taking a critical look at the evidence, you're just fortifying your existing position without thought.
Nov 26 2013: Alright, you win, your smart
Comment deleted
Nov 26 2013: The problem with wind isn't the cost it's the availability. We could easily supply all our energy with wind and Hydro if everyone lived near snow covered mountains and windy places but unfortunately most of the worlds population lives in the tropics and they don't call it the doldrums because its windy.
Nov 26 2013: The energy from wind that is collected from high wind areas can be transported via transmission lines to areas of low wind, in fact that's already being done in Texas.
http://cleantechnica.com/2013/10/18/texas-wind-power-gets-boost-from-new-crez-lines/Nov 26 2013: "When you include subsidies".
There's your problem right there. Do you know how much those subsidies cost?
Try this for a more wholesome analysis. Even if you live in a very windy or very sunny area, fossil fuels are still twenty times cheaper at the very least (ignoring the environmental and health costs which are practically impossible to measure, though they're quite small for natural gas, albeit not for coal)
Hydroeletric is great, it really is, but it requires you strike lucky on geography. No river to dam, you're out of luck. Got a river but even after daming it, you still need more power? You need to start looking for supplements. There's a reason growth in the field in the developed world has been very limited in recent years--most rivers worth daming have already been taken advantage of.
Same for geothermal. Most of us just don't live next to thermal vents.

8th Annual Gorgeous & Green Ecofashion Show for Global Green USA
Photo by Erik Pawassar for Inhabitat
Global Green USA raised $230,000 at the event, which will fund back-up solar systems on critical buildings and schools impacted by Hurricane Sandy, seed funding for green rebuilding entrepreneurs, and sustainable neighborhood infrastructure in New York and New Jersey.
Once again, we were at a loss for choosing our favorite designers, as there were so many luxurious get ups to choose from. We fell in love with the Parisian style of Amour Vert, while the made-in-the-USA eco-conscious fabrics beamed national pride. The Ikat orange recycled polyester tunic dress was especially wearable and festive.
Naturally, PACT underwear kept us on our toes, as we blushed at the many tight ab'd underwear models walking down the runway. Made from organic cotton with fair labor practices in energy-efficient factories, PACT promotes change makers with a cause in the fashion industry.

San Francisco residents Olga Dzilikhova and Mina Yazdi of Mina & Olya design retro chic sophisticated pieces from California-made organic fabrics. One of our favorites was the buttery Champagne hemp silk charmeuse deep v-neck dress with inverted pleats. We also loved the organic raw silk ragan ivory blouse, paired with an organic boiled wool tulip skirt.

What does "summer" mean in San Francisco? Report of dinner at AQ.
A recent dinner at the bar at AQ was the best meal I've had in this price range lately, and for one dish in particular the kitchen was punching so far above its weight that the dish would have seemed of a piece at Crenn, Manresa or Coi.
The menu and decor emphasize the seasonality of the chef's approach--the glass boxes set into the bar were filled with bathing suits, flip-flops and sand. Menu, likewise, was themed and titled "Summer." A funny thing about July in San Francisco is that while perusing a menu of squash and watermelon, the fog rolls down Mission Street as thick as tumbleweeds in a Spaghetti Western. As the bartender fixed drinks, we both looked out the window at the 50-degree evening. "Stupid San Francisco" she said. It was a funny aside, but also true that the menu had the effect of walking into a chain store in Union Square to buy tights and a cardigan only to find the racks stocked with bikinis and beach cover-ups.
A watermelon appetizer described as "watermelon, lovage, cactus, buttermilk and basils" was more straightforward than I expected--the melons were shaped and compressed, but the execution didn't amplify or reconsider the elements enough to feel interesting--it was, basically, a big piece of watermelon on a plate. The punchy pickled rind and slick matchsticks of cactus appealed more than the melon brick.
In between the appetizer and second app I ordered as an entree, an amuse bouche arrived. The clams and raisins in broth were the highlight of the meal--a pairing I didn't expect that made perfect sense and was flat-out, knock-down delicious. Put this on the menu! I want more.
The gnocchi plate with tomatoes and whey was excellent--pillowy and well formed, the tomatoes and whey gave it a summery feel while still being substantial enough to knock a hole in the bleakness of the day. Bread by Oakland's Firebrand and salted butter from Straus Family Creamery. Both excellent as usual.
Overall, the service was professional, knowledgeable and warm without being too formal. Super enjoyable dinner and one I hope to repeat soon.
I went for brunch last Sunday. That's the only day of the week they're open in the daytime.
There was a watermelon amuse with cheese, basil, and I forget the other ingredient, unusual and good. Donut holes were warm and tasty. House-made charcuterie was awesome, mortadella with some rabbit in it and a spicy, chewy sorpressata. My rabbit confit "hash" was actually a composed dish, really good combination. Tasted the burger and eggs benedict, both very good. They still have really good wines at the bottom end of the price range.
do you have pix of the summer decor change out?
the summer menu has been my favorite since their opening menu. The tripe and eel dishes are memorable. I was surprised they added another 2 dishes in the $30 dollar range. Hope they don't go keep increasing the prices.
Went to AQ for their Summer Menu 6/28/12 I took pics. They keep the menu for the entire Summer with some dishes coming out. Each season is a different menu.
It's walking distance away from Civic Center Bart so no need to drive. Best to come here with Reservations because it's really popular. We got there about 6:15pm on a Thurs and they told us we could have a "high" table which we accepted. It's higher than the regular tables with tall stools that swivel near the open table area.
Loud restaurant so you have to almost shout to be heard.
They make good Manhattan Drink & Old Fashion per waiter. B. got an Old Fashion he liked, I found it strong.
FREE slice of bread & soft butter with salt. They bring more bread if you want it.
Tried a few things:
Eel & Potato Terrain $14 - thin slices, I liked them both.
Watermelon $10 - grilled a bit small piece, one cantaloupe scoop. Nice.
Honeycomb Tripe $10 - B. liked it.
Striped Bass $25 - nice fish, something crispy, pepper, & sauce.
BBQ Pork $25 - nice. Small but thick piece of pork, tender, some creamy thing that tasted like cornbread, some beans.
chocolate dessert $8 - tasty & creamy.
2 blackberries with sugar that came with the bill. I liked it.
SF Health Fee 2 pc @ $1.50/pc - $3
SubTotal $116 + $9.87 sales tax = $125.87 before tip. Charged it.
Separate bathrooms. Women - 1 sink/1toilet.
Open for Sunday Brunch 10a-2p

bike computer on MTB
this is a weird (or possibly stupid) question i know, but do 'real' MTBers fit computers to their bikes?
CRC has some cheap wireless ones for sale right now and i've already bought a couple for my roadie and the SWMBO's bike, but i thought - why not the MTB?
my concern is that i've ripped just about everything else not bolted down to my MTB off on branches, bushes etc. maybe if i mounted the wheel sensor on the rear wheel?
Re: bike computer on MTB
What's a 'real' MTBer?
I'm probably not consider a 'real' MTBer (whatever that is) but I don't bother with them currently.
Re: bike computer on MTB
what i meant was, anyone who's done enough MTBing to come to a sensible conclusion on whether a computer is likely to survive the rigours of riding off-road.
Re: bike computer on MTB
Rather than buy multiple computers you might be better off with a single Garmin and multiple mounts/sensor kits.
While not as cheap as the one in your link they GPS based logging capability my be more useful for MTBing. Who really looks at the speedo while negotiating a tree lined track?
The Garmins will survive well on a MTB. I've seen loads of off roaders using them.
Re: bike computer on MTB
i've got a wireless cateye & never had a problem even with the regular stacks!
Re: bike computer on MTB
Pretty much everyone among my group of riding buddies who does events has a Garmin. The only thing which varies is which model they choose (305, 705, 500, 800 etc...). I have a 705.
It would be nice if Christopher could implement the plug-in so that links to Garmin Connect would render as clickable pictures like they do on nobmob.com.
Like this: http://nobmob.com/node/32968
The rest of my mates who don't have Garmins do tend to use speedos. Knowing how far you've come along a trail can be handy if navigation has become an issue.
Re: bike computer on MTB
ok thanks all. i'm really just looking for an excuse to buy another of these uber-cheap computers
Re: bike computer on MTB
I use both. Because the garmin swaps between bikes but eachs bikes computer tracks its mileage.
Re: bike computer on MTB
my garmin tracks each bike's usage separately. Just have to switch profiles on the device.
Re: bike computer on MTB
+1, Cateye Micro Wireless - Pretty close to indestructible in my experience, including an OTB that mushed an Ay-up lamp unit and smashed its handlebar mount into lotsa bits.
The same crash after which I decided that a GPS unit, despite probably not being worth it anyway, was just an expensive accident waiting to happen.
Re: bike computer on MTB
Not sure if mine does that. I think I can put one bike in it. It's a 305
Re: bike computer on MTB
I have a cheap wireless echo. Its been on the bike long enough to need new batteries. Like all cheap computers with only 2 buttons, its absurdly difficult to use.
Re: bike computer on MTB
Cheap speedos on MTB are not worth the effort unless all you want is a speedo, average speed and odometer. Both of my MTBs have basic speedos with one a cheapy (no name from T7) and the other one merely cheap (Shimano Pro 5 function). The cheap one ($45 from LBS) has a much better mount, is smaller and easier to use than the cheapy ($15) when on the MTBs. Another cheapy is on the road bike and there it is fine.
But then the MTB cheapy has been in place for over a year with no dramas or mishaps....so who is to say.
As for having a Garmin et al...... there is such a thing as too much useless information in my book
Ours is not to reason why...merely to point and giggle
Re: bike computer on MTB
Another vote for this. I swap my Garmin from the roadie to the MTB all the time - it's survived some horrific offs.
Re: bike computer on MTB
Yep run a computer on my MTB - Garmin it has survived better than me .
Roadie: BeOne Black, SRAM Force, TWE 50mm full carbon clinchers, Vértebrae ceramic cable housings
MTB: Chin29er, Fox Terralogic, XT, 3T and TWE wheels
ex-MTB now commuter: Cannondale F900 (CAAD 4), Headshok, TWE wheels, XT and Elixr CR
Re: bike computer on MTB
With Garmin you can share stuff like this with your mates:
Ooh, and this: somewhere to ride before you die
Re: bike computer on MTB
And a really fun race:
Re: bike computer on MTB
I have the Garmin 200 Edge.
More basic than their other models, think gps based cycle computer, no Heart rate or cadence.
I have found it perfect for my needs and the bonus is it doesn't your wheel size to be entered every time you move to another bike.
At $150.00 RRP, it is quite affordable compared to the 6 wireless computers it replaced. Wireless computers have been sold off.
Re: bike computer on MTB
Garmin edge for the win.

Harlem Globetrotters Bring Back Fans Rule World Tour for 2014
Back by popular demand, the ever-touring Harlem Globetrotters will once again allow fans the opportunity to vote on various rules to be implemented during games on the 2014 Fans Rule World Tour that will run through at least April. The idea was first introduced last year and proved to be such a hit that it will once again be a factor for this year's events, though some new rules have been added to the mix this time around. The 2014 options eligible for fan voting include "Hot Hand Jersey," providing double points for baskets made by whoever is wearing a hot hand jersey, "Make or Miss," in which teams of two can add team members as baskets are made, or will have to leave if a shot is missed, "Trick Shot Challenge," earning five points for made trick shots and losing five points to the opponent for a miss, "6 on 5," featuring a team of five Globetrotters against six opponents, and lastly, "Two Ball Basketball," involving the inclusion of two basketballs at the same time.
Domestically, a wide variety of cities and venues will host Harlem Globetrotters events for the early portion of 2014. In addition to standard-size arenas like the AT&T Center in San Antonio and Times Union Center in Albany, the squad also will make stops at low-key auditoriums and even a handful of high schools. View the Harlem Globetrotters schedule on this page for the full list of events ahead for the year.

Gentle Breeze in the Village (Tennen kokekko)
Set against the backdrop of Japan's scenic countryside, director Nobuhiro Yamashita's tale of adolescent love avoids the tear-jerking and virulent social commentary of many first-love stories in telling the tale of a rural schoolgirl smitten by a handsome new arrival from Tokyo. Soyo Migita (Kaho) is one of six students in her combined primary and junior school. A senior pupil who is currently in her second year of junior high, Soyo is the tallest girl in school and views her fellow students as an extended family. When Soyo's place at the top her class is challenged by the arrival of former city boy Hriomi Osawa (Masaki Okada), the starry eyed schoolgirl finds the butterflies in her stomach making her clumsy and vulnerable. There's no ignoring that strange new feeling beginning to grow in Soyo's heart, and as the call of first love and the onset of maturity becomes too powerful to resist, just the thought of holding hands with the likable new arrival is enough to make her blush. Based on Fusako Kuramochi's popular manga Tennen Kokekko, A Gentle Breeze in the Village was penned by screenwriter Aya Watanabe.~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

BucDoc, I have had very good luck with Barnes Tripleshock bullets, and they hold up to some high velocities in cartridges like the 300. With Barnes you can load 150s or 165's fast, and benefit from flat trajectory.
BucDoc, I have had very good luck with Barnes Tripleshock bullets, and they hold up to some high velocities in cartridges like the 300. With Barnes you can load 150s or 165's fast, and benefit from flat trajectory.
I'm going to try the Barnes 165 grain bullet. I bought 50 RP once fired cases this week. I still need to get the Reloading dies. I haven't got a scope yet, so I'm not in a big hurry. Summer goes fast, so I better get working on it. Thanks, BucDoc
Well, I finally got a scope put on the rifle,and loaded a few rounds to test. I put a Leupold Vx3 4.5-14 on it, and loaded some Hornady Interlock 165's with Hogdon 4831 powder. I'm not an accuracy nut, but do like a gun that shoots well. I've only shot about 20 rounds, but have shot 2 different half inch groups. I love the trigger pull, and felt recoil was no worse than my 30-06. I'm going to load some 165 Accubonds next, and may try them with 4350 powder. I'm also going to get some 180 grain accubonds. So far I have to say I'm really happy with the gun. Thanks to those who replied to my original post. BucDoc
I'd try 180gr and 200gr accubonds with H4831. I've had good results with the 300 win with the 180gr accubond and RL22 also. Since you already have several smaller deer rifles, I'd set this one up for elk and larger game using the 200gr accubond. The 180gr accubond would work great also, I just like exit wounds on big critters so I like the heavier bullet. I shot a 300 win for years with the 180gr ballistic tips or accubonds and the same scope. The accubond is my favorite bullet I've ever tried.
Well, I got a load worked up using the 180 grain Accubonds. On the range I shot several groups under an inch. One five shot group had all five shots touching. I was ready for the Elk hunt. I never really tested the gun or load. I chased a really nice bull for several days, but never got closer than 540 yards. On the last day I had to hunt, I killed a smaller 6 point at 140 yards after the bigger bull got into the timber. I'm sure if I had been prepared I could have made the 540 yard shot, but didn't want to take it with out first doing some long range practice. On a later hunt I let my nephew use the gun, and he made a one shot kill on a nice 6 point at about a hundred yards. I'm totally satisfied with both the gun and load. I'll see how it works on deer this weekend I hope. BucDoc

A breathtaking view at one of the most intense moments in cycling you'll ever witness! This spectacular print, from legendary cycling photographer Graham Watson, features the peloton during the annual classic Amstel Gold Race on a tight cobblestone road, cramped by enthusiastic fans, and packed closer together than you could believe would be possible. Amazing action, sharp white-bordered design, and a rare poster you likely won't find ANYWHERE else! The perfect commemoration of one of the year's most important annual classic races.

they were either hugely expensive $1000+ or made so cheaply that extra legs had to be put in the middle to support the mattress.
So we decided to diy our own!
I appogise for the lack of photos, once i get into a project, I forget to stop every now and then and pick up the camera. I will try and describe the steps as well as i can.
Step 1: Study existing designs (take sneaky photos at stores)
* Sneaky ninja cameraphone photography
* Dodging pushy salespeople
* Staring at the ridiculous prices and not collapsing when your realise you can build it for 1/4 of the price!
but seriously, most salespeople are happy when you tell them you are lookin to see if a bed will fit your decor, and ask if they mind if you take a photo.
ive attached some of the designs that we liked, and a couple of the ones that i thought were pretty abysmal.
THANK YOU! Think I succeeded in bribing my hubby to make this for us!
Hey. Reading how you designed your bed frame, I can tel you are likely an engineer. What specifications did you use to decide not to use the 5th leg?
Can you upload/share you SketchUp files so I can download/edit the design?
Anything you would have done diferently looking back? Also, what size mattress does this take?
put in search bar,
19mm to inches it will convert for you...
190mm to inches
2.4m to inches or feet
and convert the measurements to metric too
Wood ~$250
screws $18
lights $60
bunnings prices for wood are pretty horrible though
Look up 'Flexner on Finishing' and learn more.
Jeff's Woodshop
For a noobie in joints construction, I have a rough time imagining the kind of joints you used to make this project a more disassemble friendly one; please share sketch up diagrams or whatever is possible to demonstrate the main joints of this project.
Thank you in advance and looking forward to building one myself.
I'm just putting this out there as an FYI as I myself have come to use only shellac for my final coat, and a lot of times as my coloring too.
I use Binzer Shellac, available at Home Depot, Lowe's, etc.
But I support small business, so I choose to buy mine at local lumber yards, not national ones. I don't eat kale, I wear deodorant, etc. But I do support local people in my community.
So anyway, about shellac....
It doesn't yellow, it doesn't delaminate (peel) and?....it comes in COLORS now.
I usually choose 'original' when I'm coating a nice wood that I don't want to stain, like Maple, Shedua, Oak, etc. Or I'll use the Amber color for softer/colorless woods like Pine, Bass, etc. The colored shellacs are not like straight up paint either. They tint. Meaning, the more you apply, the darker the result.
Shellac also works just fine with pure stains like Minwax and the like.
I myself will still use a stain when I want one, but I ALWAYS finish it with a few coats of shellac, regardless.
If for those reading this, have never worked with shellac or even wood for that matter, this is how I do it:
Just like painting a car or chroming a bumper (I've done both), your finished result is a direct reflection of how much sanding you do in your prep work.
Sanding. If unfamiliar, when buying sandpaper, you will go with the ISO/FEPA Grit designation on the package. You can look up grit sizes on wikipedia.
You don't have to be such a neat-freak as I, but, depending on the type/condition of the bare wood, I usually start with 280 to 320 grit and work my way up to 600 to 800 and sometimes 1200, or maybe even higher.
I really take advantage of the wood when I'm working with a hard wood because I'll definitely go to 1200 and sometimes even as high as a 1500 grit. See, with hardwood, you can do this and end up with a GLASS like surface. With a softer wood, the problem lies within the grain. One grain is sturdy, which is where a tough sandpaper will come in, but the other grain in it is very soft. If you are not careful (especially when you either sandblast or torch-affect wood), you will end up with valleys between the harder grains.
Hard wood does this much less as the harder grains are tighter together.
Just whatever you do, ALWAYS SAND WITH THE GRAIN.
I myself, will make all my measurements, cut out my pieces, dry fit them to the point that all I have to do is bolt/glue them together, then I take it ALL APART and THEN do my sanding. I mean, think of this, just how effectively do you think you can sand the inside corner of a 90 degree angle and STILL sand with the grain OR reach every area to be sanded?
Once it's sanded, then I fit it all together again, making sure any areas affected by the sanding can be remedied, if any.
So, once you have sanded and assembled your project, you may now use the stain you want to use if you chose to do so.
Stain is also something I try to do BEFORE assembly as well.
Then you put on your first coat of shellac. You can put your 2nd coat on after only 30-45 minutes (maybe even sooner)!
Yes, the can will say otherwise, but trust me....use it and you can watch it dry before your eyes. The first coat is always a "soak up" coat. Meaning, the wood will just soak that sucker right down inside. I usually let my first coat sit for a couple hours to make sure a barrier has been created between my wood and the next coat.
After a couple of coats (usually 4 or more for me), let it dry for 24-48 hours. This is a hardening phase for the next step.
The next step:
Ok, you see your project that you diligently sanded and didn't stop until you had changed the color of your entire skin with sawdust (You DID do that, right?)
You see the gorgeous grains jumping out at you from the shellac you've put on it. You think it's done, because WOW, it sure is pretty.
And guess what?...you CAN stop at this point and enjoy that super shiny, super deep finish (like lacquer paint, it deepens with more coats). But, I?....never do.
See, I'm not a fan of a shine on wood, but that's a personal choice.
I take steel wool, use 4 ought. Sorry, old man language there. Use #0000 Fine steel wool. You can find it from wood supply stores to auto paint stores.
(#0000 steel wool is also great for scrubbing bug guts off of glass and chrome....works good on rusted bumpers too)
Then, take that steel wool and start to "polish" the shellac.
You will notice it starts to get a bit dullish. This will give you a satin finish.
It's not a choice for everyone, or every project, but I like it, so I do it a lot.
But again, not for every project, it's a personal choice, but man it looks good.
Remember, DO NOT POLISH TOO HARD! "Allow" the steel wool to work for you.
I mean, don't be so light that you don't make a difference, put in some effort, just don't "dig in" with your hand.
If you've never worked with shellac, it's colors, sanding, or steel wool, I STRONGLY suggest....no, I DICTATE you have bought a "practice piece" of wood before you build your project.
Not some scrap piece either. Make it a GOOD size piece, like a 3 foot long 2x4 or other sizable amount.
Reason is (especially with stains), you may pick out a stain (or shellac color) that you like, and on a small piece it really does look nice. But once you apply it to your finished project, it's just way too much, overpowering, ugly, whatever.
So do yourself (and your project) a favor, PRACTICE on a piece before your project and USE a good size piece.
Remember that wood working is like getting to Carnegie Hall....
Practice, Practice, Practice.
On shellac itself:
What my Dad and I came to reason behind shellac's quality is that, since it's "a resin secreted by the female lac bug", it means it's ORGANIC, just like WOOD.
Like Coffee and Chocolate. Why are they so good together?...well they're both a type of bean/seed. It's just logical that shellac and wood work so well together.
Now, when you ask for shellac (if you can't find it yourself), you will ultimately run into someone (salesperson or shopper) who will praise poly's and the like. I don't dislike polyurethanes, I just find them inferior to shellac.
You will hear, "This one is cheaper!" or "This one is just as good!"
Think of it. Would you want to hear those two sentences if you were in the market for a spouse? Kinda funny, huh? Apply those to "wife hunting" and THEN see how it sounds.
Yeah..."Shellac for me buddy, but thanks for your input."
You can't replace the best.
Almost forgot. As a prop to the author, Cabot's Water Based Stain was a good choice. It's one of my favorites.....(and works well with shellac).
Hahaha, one MORE thing. In the past I've used instant coffee as a stain.
Just like any dark stain, use it thinned and sparingly at first, apply more if you want it darker. Just an FYI for the crafty and ones that want to really bow your audience over with some added coolness.
As I type this, I am looking at a pipe holder-tobacco humidor my father made in high school in 1949 that he finished with shellac. It still looks brand new.
So, list of pros for Shellac:
Won't delaminate
Won't yellow
Dries FAST
Can use with anything
Available in shades/colors
Available in cans or sprays (how cool is that?)
Lasts forever
Natural and Organic
Oh, years ago I messed up a chest of drawers. I placed a heavy TV on it too soon. I still have the dresser, but now there are TV footprints in it.
PLEASE allow the shellac to dry hard, I mean a solid week or two, before placing anything on top of it. It may sound like overkill, but if you're gonna have something for the next 40 years, what's two weeks? Do you really wanna stare at TV footprints for 40 years?...lol
(I do this with ANY coating, paint or otherwise, it's a good habit to follow, it was just during a move and I allowed it to rush me).
I hope this comment is helpful. This is NOT a criticism in anyway. Wood, like anything handmade, is personal, from design to completion.
I just wanted to put this info out there for those who may find it useful.
I've never put an instructable onsite. Wonder how I'd go about doing it without photos?
I mean, I know ME, I like pictures...lol
I wouldn't want to bore the audience, ya know?
I whole-heartedly agree with your making this into an instructable! I'm wondering if you might consider just using stock photos to illustrate your instructable. Taking your own photos would be best, but second-best would be a few free images that you could use royalty-free.
Some good places to find free, royalty-free images:
I've written an instructable for how to find free images:
Anyway, I hope you do convert this great comment into an instructable!
Now what are the odds you'd read this thread and have that kind of info?
I'll be waiting anxiously for your instructable!
I also use it in creating a "French" polish on pieces make in a lathe; it takes allot of the elbow grease out of the work.
Here is a link that shows and explains French Polishing with Shellac.
Just to clarify a point: Even though the "extra legs" example photo included here shows very cheap construction, in Argentina good quality twin, queen and king size beds include extra legs (sometimes up to six). It is considered a sign of quality, not the opposite. Cheap beds here do not have extra legs, so in time the structure gives and the mattress sags in the middle.
After all, unless you plan on adding a box underneath, adding the legs make more sense (a lot lighter structure) than reinforcing the beams.
You created a beautiful bed, indeed. Clever detail that of those lights.
Is having that many legs are they a feature? Can you post a photo of one?
I'll keep my straight rule handy over the next few years to see if we experience any sag
Great idea with the lights and power source and excellent communication to obtain second but primary opinions.
Just for clarification since I live in the great white North of America (and I do mean North) I assume the dimensions are in mm (I see the Metre symbol) and your nominal lumber dimensions from AU might be different? (I would size the uprights as 4x4 which is nominally 89x89 here).
Up right bolts are enclosed/finished by a dowel or plug oe wood filler?
I think the hand tools are accurate try operator (just kidding) however CNC really does add a level of precision good luck.
Cost prohibited moving up to 4x4 100mmx100mm . And this would have made the parts extremely heavy.
Upright bolts are covered with putty, but looking back a plug would have.made for a nicer finish. Not that you really notice it with the stain.
And yes, more user training is probably required on my part to get my accuracy with hand tools up.
Just means ill have to keep building stuff
The wood needs to be carefully chosen, especially with pine. The completed bed tends to have a better appearance is all the surface grain patterns complement each other. Pine tends to vary greatly in grain pattern.
I have a saying; "We do not need money, we need what money buys".
Your bed is a perfect example of how we can have the things we need for a lot cheaper than running to the store buying and having to work a week or more just to pay for it.
Great job.
Made for a pretty cheap bed
