Thanks. Also, no squeaking 😃

Low profile lovin'

Very nice

Thats a solid baby making platform

@⚡Clark⚡ looks nice bro, but you really should have used mortis and tenon joints, or some other joinery, for the strength. Over time those screws are going to waller out and not hold, they'll start to back out. That's the number reason the Japs don't use fasteners.
Sorry if I sound like a dick.

They also make some sweet motion activated lighting for under the bed.

>motion activated

@RevStench I bet your right. With my limited skill in carpentry this is what I came up with. That motion activated lighting sounds sweet

@RevStench if you used a couple of angle brackets let's say 3 in by 2 in. Would that help with the screws loosening. One that size usually has three screws on either side and you could go from the side board to the leg?

Put one on either side of the leg

@⚡Clark⚡ @RevStench you could also use joist hangers for the time being

@John O - motion activated lol that would be hilarious. be in the bed bouncing around with the wife and the lights going off and on

@Deleted User @CJames - TN#6244 both would work.

@⚡Clark⚡ You need something to stiffen up the corners.
Next time you build something with 2x 6, 8, 10 or bigger. Check the timber for a cup or a bow. Even straight boards can be crooked.
A board with a cup will have a U in it.
A board with a bow will have a noticeable sag in it.
A crook board could look straight but have a twist.
Stay away from knotty wood that's NOT pine. All this timber we buy from the big stores and most lumber yards is fast grown, and the wood is softer and full of sap(sugar) which will attract bugs. Inside you're usually fine.


Here's that light

@RevStench u da man!

Did you see how cheap those lights are? Like 40 bucks.

So the hysterical society won't let us replace this wood, yet, it's not rotten enough. So I've had to rebuild it out of epox. So shitty. But here's an option if you need some quick wood repair.

That transcend windows look fantastic

Perfect mitered corners on that glazing.

I'm starting to get a Rush Limbaugh ego 😂

Hysterical society...haha

They torment these people who own historic homes. The homes cost a fortune to keep up as they are. The historic society has people who patrol neighborhoods and give fines to people who change the look of the home. If they find out you remodeled the inside, they make you change it back. If there are old pictures of the home it has to stay that way. You can't change the colors, nothing. If there is one hand rail and you want two, but there's a picture of only one, that's all you get. Assholes

Hahaha

Baltimore has some areas like that

I appreciate what they do but they get a little silly with some policing.

Hysterical Societies sort of black pill me. It just makes me feel like we're in decline. A civilization on the rise doesn't have time for that sort of stuff.

Good point

Got a paint tip. If you have some paint sitting around and it's gotten really thick and you're getting brush marks that won't go away. You can revive it with Penetrol for oil based and Floetrol for latex. Add a little at a time until the paint flows evenly, when you apply the paint the brush marks should go away after 3 or 4 minutes. Don't add to much.

👍🏻good to know

I actually really like painting. Just don’t like set up and tear down

@Deleted User here's the windows after I used penetrol in the year old paint

That paint is dry. You can see my paint brush in the first picture

So here's a sweet old tool no one uses anymore. A gimlet. Used to make a threaded hole to help start screws.

@RevStench yeah man those are beautiful! That’s a lot of skilled work. Shit I need a gimbal- I usually just a drill bit to start screw holes

Dude the gimlet is a game changer.

Usually I'm doing everything one handed and this just made getting a screw started so easy, no fighting the screw to stay on the bit when I'm trying to screw it in.

@Deleted User hey sorry, it's called a gimlet.

Yeah those are really great

@RevStench cant tell how many metal shards I’ve had from holding shitty screws to get the started

For sure, I use a lot of 3/4in number 1 or 0 screws, square head. They dance around so much and I fight them every single time. But not anymore with a gimlet.
