Voluntary Blurry Vision?
Yeah. I 've thought of another one: if you concentrate - not focus - on the periphery, you can apparently see dimmer stars at night than with the central portion.

Put something close up to your eye when you do that... is it sharp?

How do you do that, They are only about 5-6mm wide? Do you use carbide blades?

Kudos to you for sticking it out on pretty hard stuff like that. I've hand sanded quite a few miles of oak hand rails and doors. I've just got one for sizing. I still like manual planing for finishing.

You've convinced me. It seems the best way to go.

I'm thinking about that. I don't know whether to go for waterstones or adhesive-backed sheets on glass.The advantage of the latter is it's always flat. I've got a diamond plate but it's only a cheap one.

Have you got the first inch of the back of your chisels to a high polish; a chisel is only as sharp as the back is smooth because that is the edge.

Today I Learned
I've been reading the online Japan Times for a while and they do think differently in many ways... some are better and some aren't but they do celebrate nature in a bigger way than we do.

What would you change about the new SFN?
I personally don't look in that box at all.

What would you change about the new SFN?
Wouldn't it be better to create a new content stream with all the new postings in the forums you want to see as they occur? When you've done that you can bookmark the link to that page.

Commenting on attractive people while in a relationship?
There should be a clear line between real life and fantasy. You see what you want to see and ignore the rest... that's romantic love.
-
What are you listening to right now?
Right.Thanks. It's bad when people spoil a good song, isn't it? I'm haunted by that guitar now. Actually sounds like The Edge from way back.
-
What are you listening to right now?
Bleak but nice. The guitar in this one strikes a chord for me. What style is this group?

Gun control, which side wins?
I brought up this idea earlier but I suggested a billionaire buying and destroying the gun manufacturer. This one suggests modifying its purpose.

Today I Learned
The effective concentration, in a fire, of halon does not hinder respiration. It's not like carbon dioxide in its action.

This luthier rubs and scrapes a black filler on his white oak guitars to bring out the grain. That pinkish hue will turn quite a dark brown with oxidation and light in a few years.:
