    Thank you! The seat was an old dining room chair that was trash picked and not worth repairing. The legs were turned from pallet wood.

    Lathe was the only power tool used.

    I think you are on to something here. Saw online somewhere that thin veneers can be made by edge planing a board. The strip can then be glued and wrapped around the tenon to take up the extra space. Think this is what I’ll try.

    Thanks for replying. I’m curious how the screws hold up. In my experience I’ve only seen metal fasteners damage the joint even more as it flexes.

  • I’m repairing a chair and the joints are a bit on the loose side. I was hoping to try Titebond liquid hide glue to put it back together for the long open time and to make future repairs easier. Does anyone know if hide glue fills gaps better than pva? I know epoxy is usually the go-to for gap filling but I’d rather give myself more time than epoxy usually allows if possible. Alternatively, is there anything I can put in the joint (like fabric) that would tighten it up?

    The only difference with the Danish oil is the addition of some varnish. Apply enough coats and it’ll start to build up and might help a little with stain resistance. Otherwise you would need something more durable like a film finish. I think maybe laquer or a CA finish would work well for oil/grease resistance.

    Some people don’t put any finish on handles and let natural oils from their hands build a patina. If you don’t like the look then some kind of film finish is probably what you need.

    I just try different handle shapes until I find ones I like.

    In the US most woodturning/woodworking supply stores carry kits. In this case I took the guts from a Harbor Freight screwdriver, turned a new handle out of cherry, filling the cracks with colored epoxy, made a ferrule from a brass plumbing fitting, and put it all together. The handle is finished with Danish oil.

  • Interesting hack - fixing stripped screw holes with hot glue. Wonder if it works.

    I’ve done this with great success on kitchen cabinet hinges. I didn’t drill them out, just broke off wooden toothpicks to match the depth of the hole, covered with wood glue, put them in the hole, then put the screw back in. Works amazingly well.

    They generally seem to be shifting away from it being a basic “read it later” app primarily used to save articles that you come across and want to read later and are putting content discovery more front and center. When I opened the app recently a home page came up that had a few of my saved articles but it was mostly filled with suggested articles from the editors or recommended based on an algorithm. I then have to navigate to a different tab that has my “saves”. Looking at the list there is no longer an “archive” button, though I found out swiping will archive the article. Generally the UI has changed to be less intuitive and less focused on the articles that have already been saved.

    I used the app to quickly save articles I want to read but don’t have time in the moment and then to go back and read later with a cleaner, more standard format.

    Interesting. So their docker-compose file can be used to start up a local server? This might be worth trying out sooner than I thought.

    I haven’t used it (yet), but I came across it recently as what looks like the best alternative to Pocket. Pocket just changed their app for the worse (in my opinion).

    Can I post to magazines on another kbin instance?

    New to kbin. I’m trying to wrap my head around how federation works. If a community develops on a different server/instance than where I created my account, can I create threads and reply to others? Or just view? I read everywhere that federation allows following across different instances, but viewing content is different than participating in a community. If my account is on kbin.social can I create a thread or reply in a thread for a magazine that is in fedia.io?
