I'm glad people love the scent of wood. Working with green oak blew me away. It smells sweet! It kind of smells like vanilla and cinnamon. Theres actually a guy who made oak flavored ice cream by toasting oak scraps and soaking them in the cream he intended to use.
Also good to know i shouldn't be self conscious of all the scars and stuff. Thought it'd make me look like an idiot haha.
Especially cause chairs are fucking hard (for the good ones). Lots of specialtly equipment to make it. A steam box, a kiln, bending jigs, all sorts of cushioning, fabric, springs, twine, burlap, its mind-blowing. I saw a master upholsterer give a demonstration and the depth of the craft of just constructing the cushion is jaw dropping.
Any women here who can give insight on why woodworking is attractive? I thought my hands would be too grimy with sharpening grit, everything covered in chips and shavings and my hands covered in scars for it to be considered attractive.
Also do you find power tools or hand tools more attractive?
What is the music? Truly mesmerizing
I use a lot of Japanese woodworking tools and hearing Hitachi outside of the context of steel production is always so confusing. They make some of the finest steels in the world, to be forged into unparalleled blades by master craftsmen and they also make "marital aids".
Dont live near Pennsylvania at all, but Scranton sounds very familiar .
Knife sharpening. Not hard to learn how to do it decently, and hard to find someone who can do it decently. The equipment is not too expensive either. 40$ for a good coarse stone (you will need one!!!) And 40$ for a decent combo stone of medium and fine. You probably want a good flattening stone too.
DONT use amazon, all of the stones there are scams. A good coarse stone is a Naniwa lobster 220. A good combo stone is the KING KDS 1000/6000.
"Assholes" imply that its malicious, when people are just very, VERY lazy. Only the "laziest", most energy conserving humans would have survived, exhibiting the least amount of energy required to sustain themselves. Since putting away a cart isn't strictly required, a lot of people just don't care. Only those who know better will.
Won't stop AI from scraping it and stating it as fact
I mostly read the headlines since most articles these days are written to fill a length quota and info is sparse. Most articles are now full of fluff.
A lot of white Germans and nazis, even after the war. Denazification was a toothless affair. Look at how rich Otto Skorzeny was. Many of Hitler's generals were let off the hook, even a lot of the Waffen SS. On top of that you have the executives of arms manufacturers, steel mills, oil refineries, any company vital to the war effort.
Every regime has its cronies.
