We don’t have any moles! The voles must keep them at bay :-)

Clamp & glue is plenty strong. I’ve built a couple of desks with this approach plus a large dining table.

We get a lot of voles which enjoy eating our garden and saplings. I’ve decent success by:

• garden: putting a wire mesh fence around it with 1/4" hardware cloth buried 4" underground
• trees: plastic protective tubes around the trunks and also keeping the grass/weeds around then cut short. Voles like the protection of tall grass.

Back when I started my software career (2001) we did paper code review printouts in Araxis Merge. We also didn’t have source control back then.

We have a color Brother laser that works pretty well.

Nice! Snakes are a sign of a healthy, chemical-free environment.

My cats would have loved to use the top as a scratching pad! Look out 😅

Nice work on the wrapping, it looks very clean.

Could you swap out the back legs with longer ones to help the thigh clearance?

Check the calibration:

1. Confirm that the outfeed table is parallel to the cutter head.
2. Confirm that the outfeed table is level with the top dead center of the cut.
3. Then confirm that the infeed table is parallel to the outfeed
4. Lastly confirm that the fence, when set to 90, is square to the outfeed table.

This should all the the case right out off the pallet but it’s worth a check.

I relief on polled notifications from Sync. Worked just fine for me.

Oh yeah… And be sure to never let your filament get tangled!!! Google that before you get started 😂

I’m doing basic, functional stuff so there’s thankfully not much to figure out. I haven’t done any mods to my printer. The bed stays level as long as I’m gentle while removing the print.

The only thing I’ve struggled with was layer and bed adhesion during cold weather. To solve that I made a simple enclosure and also slowed down my first layer.

Here’s my blog page on it!

You’ve gained a table and lost some scrap wood - wins on both sides!

Heck yeah, I’ve been home-roasting since 2007-ish.

What are you roasting on? I’m using a drum roaster heated by a turbo oven.

Wow! What are the resonation tubes made out of? Can you describe the process of tuning each key?
