I have a mix of a roubo and an anarchist bench. I use the leg vise way more than I ever thought I would, and bench dogs are king for me. The tail vise gets a fair amount of use too. I didn’t add a sliding deadman to mine, and I regret it (I have some dog holes in the right leg, but want some closer for smaller stuff). Its my first bench, so I’ve learned a bit making it as well as using it, so maybe in 5 years I’ll make an updated one (which should go easier since I’d have a bench to build the bench on lol)

This is super late (just found this community). I’d be curious if you had some of the quirks that I’ve had.

No sound periodically, mostly only goes away after shutting off and parking for 10+ minutes.

The trunk sensor hates getting used, and also generally is sluggish when hitting the button on the key fob (also stopped opening one day and had to get forced open before the buttons to auto close/open would work again.

After coming up to the car sometimes after it goes to sleep, it doesn’t unlock for like 5+ tries. It also sometimes goes to sleep or something to where the app won’t connect.

Yeah, that’s exactly it. Even if is made of saw dust, it’s (at least in part) real wood in some sense. I would agree that’s nonsense.

Yeah, when I build stuff, I always just say the timber it’s made out of, but I was talking with someone about an old dresser. They mentioned it was “solid wood”, but the case was made out of an old press board. Which led to this question. I wanted to make sure I wasn’t confused.

Someone else may be, but I was/am genuinely curious as to what others thought. I have a pretty “purist” view myself and wanted to see if I was in the minority or not.

Or a dull knife lol

Agreed, I’d take a square and a story stick of sorts over a tape measure

Sadly it’s more common than I’d like everywhere I’ve worked too

I’ll be honest, I’m a bit jealous of his confidence.

My journey into it started as I was getting out of religion. Listening to debates about religion had several general philosophy references, so I read about those topics. I had some conversations with a buddy claiming “that’s Marxist, that’s Socialist” whatevers, and I wanted to learn what those things actually meant and why they scared so many people etc. Basically me not meshing with the ideological beliefs of my peers sent me down some deep rabbit holes lol.

No doubt, but (as a new “convert”) most places aren’t really set up for a proper plant based meal around me. There are a few options, but if I go out with the family or something I’m delgated to a plate of plain veggies or a pointless salad lol. I hope at least some day that a plant based chicken is as ubiquitous as the impossible/beyond patty

That’s pretty cool, I’m just hoping more plant based “chicken” options come to north America. I missed the window to try the McPlant, and it’s a little annoying there’s only really “beef” options.

I can see it being a new idea being greenlit, but based on what it turned out to be, I would agree lol

I had no idea it even got a second season tbh

Well that was anticlimactic, but I appreciate the information

I’m probably missing something, but what are the two bumps in December and Feb from?

Against some better judgement, I did direct burial. I did consider walkie talkies, but heard doesn’t work well in a metal barn (I confirmed I basically have zero cell reception). I could look at adding the antenna though, thats not a bad idea.

I appreciate the info and the offer! I won’t be messing with the Ethernet since that’s used for networking. I was mainly looking to hook up an IP phone or something easy, but assumed I couldn’t just connect that to my network and needed something so the two phones would tie together.

That’s fair, and yeah in hindsight would have been great, though tough to retrofit. Maybe I’ll look into running another line for something like that. Thanks!

Well in my scenario, both locations would be fixed, so I’m not really concerned about finding locations.
