Hmm I wonder if your project has been stored in room temperature or was it outside in the cold?

I might use a solvent to wipe it down, with a light 220 grit sanding, then try again.

I’m also wondering if you might have skipped a step. You should apply the oil, wait 5 minutes or so, then wipe off the excess. Then keep it in room temperature for a day. Repeat three times and then buff or polish.

I love it too! Where did you find this beautiful piece of wood and did you recognize it’s potential right away?

Yes it is addictive. It contains morphine. Please don’t get addicted to it. I’m old and been using it very seldom for many years. I’m fortunate to have that willpower and stability in life. Side effects include nausea and sleepiness, and it is probably possible to OD. I make a cup of tea from 5 average sized pods. Not a very strong dose. Tastes horrible. If you want to learn more look for a free PDF of the book Opium for the Masses.

Opium poppies are hard to grow as a gardener bc they are one of those plants that thrive on neglect. They seem to only grow by accident. But ya they’re easy to find seeds. Lauren’s Grape is a common variety that contains opium.

I’m the the US, and opium poppies are legal to grow and harvest but it is illegal to slice the pods to harvest opium. As far as I know there is no law against making tea from pods and it’s just an easy way to do it. Also once you recognize the shape of opium poppy pod (different shape from oriental poppy and corn poppy) you will see them in garden all over. Sometimes I’ve just asked nicely and been given them.

Seeds can be bought anywhere super easy. Papaver somniferum. Online or at garden centers. I like to wait until the pods dry out and then make a tea from them

Am I sensing some judgement from Satans Maggoty Cum Fart? 🤣🤣

lol! I actually use it when I fly. I get so stiff in my back on a long flight, so I take some poppy tea and then I can just sleep and it’s wonderful.

Not these ones. But I do grow those too 🤫

 

I planted a few here last year and I guess they like this spot

You want to ask me about my affairs? You want to know if I liked this movie? Okay. One time. One time I’ll let you ask me if I liked this movie.

Is it true?

And I have no one to share it with!

Like fossil fuels come from organic matter that grew because of the sun. Is there any form of energy on that cannot be traced back to the sun in some way?

 

The potting bench has a hole so that soil can be brushed into the bucket below. I was able to salvage some of the older boards from the old pile of junk that stood there before, which are in the roof. Speaking of the roof, see how some of it is clear? I’m going to build a cold frame into that part of the roof for hardening off plants! I’m having a hard time deciding how to do that but though.

The wife wants gravel on the ground but I’m not so sure. I think that the gravel will just end up filling with dirt and debris and weeds. I think I might prefer to just leave it bare earth. What do you think?

Why does it seem like a yard is so much bigger than 3 bags of soil. What’s the deal

 

Situation: using a screw gun to drive in the self-driving screws (the star shaped ones) horizontally, and sometimes at a difficult angle above my head. Hard to get good leverage like that. The driver starts spinning the screw but it doesn’t catch right away and then the screw jumps out and falls on the ground.

Has this happened to you? Is there a trick for that?
