I'd like to get into hobbyist woodoworking, one of the things I would make is a wooden chest with a mimic mouth painted on it

@coriander woodworking is not too difficult if you have the space for it and also know how to not cause yourself severe bodily harm

@Lady I like to think welding has taught me at least a big about not causing myself severe bodily harm, tho I will admit most of the implements I know how to kill myself with are different

@Lady Or rather how NOT to kill myself with

But I suppose the wording works either way

@coriander mostly just wear goggles, don't put body parts in front of or behind any spinning blades, and keep hands hair etc away from anything sharp

Follow

@coriander i assumed as much but saying “i’m sure they’ll be fine” is just asking for trouble so

@Lady lmao that's fair, I do also have a history of getitng hurt in stupid ways =P

@coriander oh the other hot woodworking tip i have is plan everything on paper before you make any cuts, and you can always remove more but you can’t stick the wood back on once it’s gone

@coriander be prepared to become one of those people who has a plank just hanging out in their shop for ages because you don’t have anything to use it for but “it’s really nice wood”

@Lady Every quarter of welding class my locker would always inevitably get full of metal because I saw a really nice piece in the bin and wanted to keep it, I'm already like that =P

@coriander (my dad is into hobbyist woodworking so while i haven’t done it recently, i did help make chests chairs etc when i was little)

(chairs are a pain fuck chairs)
