    I’m using off-the shelf CT-clamps with an ESP. Obviously it’s a fair amount more work, but it’s cheaper than a commercial solution, fully offline and no subscriptions, you know exactly what you are getting, and you can build a solution that is just the right size for your application, and infinitely modifiable if your needs change.









  • For very thin veneers, very sharp shaves or block planes with months or years of practice or specialized machinery are probably the way to go to minimize waste.

    A table saw with a thin kerf blade is probably the most practical approach, if you don’t have months to dedicate to this project. I remember someone doing something similar for a guitar build at a local maker space.










  • The real people in power are those who tell the best stories.

    This tale is as old a civilization: a sword is powerful, but more powerful yet is a pen to instruct a thousand swords.

    Maybe we have forgotten that, in this analogy, the pen isn’t literally a pen in an oval office, rather it is a tweet plugged straight into people’s brains.

    Too many of you incorrectly assume that the real power of persuasion can only come from inside the Whitehouse, or some other institution, just because historically that is where it came from.
