There's nothing you can't stick back together, given an unlimited quantity of duck tape

Except the laser scanning bit cause that's silly, I could model that leg in fusion in like 10 minutes.

Crossposting from tools: Anybody have recommended ripping chains? Looking for a 3/8" .050 gauge 84 dl option for my 24" bar rancher. I'd really like something with carbide teeth, welded not coated, but it sounds like if I want to do that, I'm likely to have to buy a bulk reel, which means other tools as well. This'll be for slabbing hardwoods like oak, walnut, and maple.

My home growing up had that same hole in the ceiling, and it had no insulation or frame in the plug. They just treated the plug like a piece of drop ceiling, as in literally just the drywall square sitting on the lip of the frame. So unless you're living in the tundra, you might be way over engineering/over thinking this phase of your project. You're probably not going to lose an appreciable amount of heat through it, and unless you placed your attic access right over your bed or couch or something, you'd never notice a cold spot there. And with just a 2x2 piece of drywall, you don't have to hyper-engineer your frame to hold up under weight. Two finish nails in each side would do the job (so long as you didn't try to put your bodyweight on it, but at least that would be a mistake you could minimize by making your lip even smaller, like a half inch on each side, which you can get away with since that lip is supporting basically no weight with just drywall).

I live in Iowa and have the “just a piece of drywall” attic access in my closet. In the winter, it’s loving ice in there, and in the summer, it’s a sauna. You’d be surprised the difference it can make.

I could see a closet being that way, for sure. My house in southern Virginia had it in the hallway with the bedrooms, which was both very open and not a spot you tended to linger, and I never noticed it being any different than the rest of the house.

You’d be surprised the difference it can make. Same, but in Texas. I have a attic hatch in my master closet that is just a piece of drywall or maybe plywood with drywall screwed to it. It is not well air sealed and the closet is really hot and musty in the summer and cold in the winter. I need to put in a proper ladder + hatch and do some sort of cap or air sealing around the hatch. (And eventually add an addition HVAC duct to the closet.

It’s still the same rate of energy loss, you’re just dispersing it through the house in that case. Which means you’re still paying to fight the poor insulation at that spot. It’d be akin to having one single pane window in your living room. The hvac will compensate, sure, but compensation costs dollars. And while a window would be expensive to improve, a leaky attic door is not. What I’m saying is, I have no excuse for not getting off my rear end and fixing mine. :/

It seems like a good place for foam board. Light and cheap and don't make as giant a mess as fiberglass would with repeated movings. OP you could probably just screw some drywall to a sheet of foam board and then screw as many more sheets of foam board as you wanted to that and be good to go. Some wood around the edges/face of the drywall would help it hold up better, but a couple coats of paint also will toughen up the exposed edges of drywall a bit.

They actually make prefab panels for exactly this scenario. They have a few layers of insulation on the back, a stronger body than just drywall, and are ready for paint to match whatever.

I'm kicking around an idea for a cross forum challenge. Over the way too many years I've been a member here there have been some really interesting and weird contests. I can't remember any of them but I know I liked lurking some for at least a few minutes. I've been making my own pasta a lot lately and several of the more interesting recipes call for unique tools to make the shapes that I don't have but would be easy to make. I'm thinking a GWS/DIY crossover make your own pasta tool and then your own pasta challenge.. what do ya'll think? There are some prettttty decent cooks over there but we're uniquely stupid ourselves over here, seems even. Regardless I'm going to be eating pasta so I'm good being the only village idiot, again. Yay/nay?

I definitely realized that before just now. I have no skin in the game I just want to make and see weird cool poo poo so if you or anyone else wants to take the lead and make an OP do it and link it here. I dont care about forums cred. Otherwise I'll figure something out in a few days

I'm looking at used band saws for cutting out spoon blanks for carving, with an eye towards possibly getting a lathe and using the saw for bowl blanks as well. For that use, is there anything that really separates one cheap ($75-100) bandsaw from another? What should I be looking for?

For that use, is there anything that really separates one cheap ($75-100) bandsaw from another? What should I be looking for? Both Rikon and Jet make decent bench top models. I wouldn't go less than 1.5hp on the motor and bolt it down to a bench or weighted stand. Biggest thing I hear is people knocking them over pushing material through. When you say for bowl blanks are you talking about cutting cookies/logs or taking square bowl blanks and rounding them? You can rough a square piece to round on the lathe if the latter. I wouldn't really want to push a 4"+ piece through a bench top but thats me.

Used tools off the Cave of Craigslist can be your best value, but cave emptor because there's proto-goons out there. Formless cretures.

I'd be into making a pasta roller but I'm too lazy to make pasta from scratch but the general idea of let's make custom kitchen implements is awesome, maybe go with that more general plan and more people might participate? Also deffo include the metalworkers, maybe the 3d printer nerds too, and we should promote the thread in GWS as well as here, yup.

My wife's dad makes his own pasta and it's good and stuff, and it's good, but in terms of where my cooking focus is it's not my thing. however I do need a new like, rack to put knives on using magnets, but which won't scar up the knives from the magnets, and also won't drop the knives and be a giant dangerous hazard also I was thinking of making one of those bottle openers from Nick Offerman's book Good Clean Fun
