Playing with Richlite for bridges and nuts for my lutherie projects. Miserable stuff to work with, especially fiddly little bits like these. It's Dremel sized work, but Dremel stuff is too flimsy for it. Lots of filing and sanding, nasty dust. That said, my first banjo bridge has convinced me to keep trying.

If you make a band saw and don't put the blade specs permanently on the saw you are bad and deserve bad things.
(Almost every band saw maker I've ever seen is bad)

It must be special wandering through life utterly unburdened by competence.

Also, do not buy lifesaving supplies from Amazon! Go direct to manufacturer!

Happy Fuck You Texas Day!
(aka Juneteenth).
People often think of traditional deep south states as the slave-ist of slave states, but Texas fought more wars and gave up land to be able to continue to own other humans.
You will not be surprised to know that, having grown up in Texas, I was not taught these things in school.

455. That's the number of introductory conversations I have had with people interested in launching or relaunching a BSides event since I started tracking conversations about ten years ago. About one third of those lead to new or revived events, or new leadership for existing events.

I really just can't with all this fuckery, and that's without getting into all that fuckery.

When you try to use a screwdriver as a hammer, sure, it can kind of work a little bit. But if you persist, you’re going to end up breaking it and hurting yourself.

Guess what this subtoot is about.
