That’s a good point, I thought about that too. Not sure how sturdy that would be. I’d probably step on it and break it eventually.
Agreed, it was a ton of work. The back of the saw was definitely the biggest struggle because of how the motor moved when adjusting tilt and height.
Sealing the blade shroud might have worked. I’d probably try that first if I did this again.
But you make ten coffee tables and you break even. And then it’s all profit
I used PLA+ with no complaints so far
It worked pretty well for the ~10 long thin rips I did.
Holding up fine even after dropping it. Definitely works. And I decided to print the model I found with modular bits so I could reprint and replace the broken feathers when that eventually happens, instead of reprinted entire body.
I wish I could give you an academic answer, but I was going off of a similar design and thought if it works there, it should work here.
Honestly I’m a bit worried about the corners, but they feel stable enough.
I used pocket screws and wood glue at each shelf attachment to the frame. The shelf slats are all glued edge grain to edge grain, so in theory the entire shelf should act like a solid board.
We take them off and soak in the sink or a bin. Succulents need infrequent but deep watering. I watered them once or twice the entire winter last year.
Thanks for the suggestions. I used a paste wax, hoping that went on thick enough to do something.
You might have to go back for some sulfur for the blueberry bushes. At which point you should buy some serviceberry bushes.
7/10, would’ve been better if she didn’t have to remind me to make it so many times
The last trip to buy pots to separate the existing overgrown succulents also brought home a new succulent. Soooo…
I asked my wife and she said “no”
That’s the next step, thinking through options.
I have some 16" metal led strips that would work if I could cut them, but looking at the traces, they won’t work if cut. So I’ll probably have to buy something.
Flexible led strips are likely the answer.
I used the tools I bought earlier to justify those purchases
I already coated with paste wax. Should be enough, we’ll see.
We water by soaking the plants in the tub, then letting them sit on towels before going back on the shelf. A bit tedious but only has to be done every 1-2 months.
