I'm planning on doing some lidded boxes later on, and I also want to try to make the hinges my self.

I found some time ago a page with good, clear images of different hinge types. Being able to download them for one's personal archive is also a plus.

A wooden hairbrush for missus. Kinda crappy but now I have an excuse to do a new and better one! Carved with knives and chisels. Stained with dark and light varnish and finished with clear acrylic cover.

Made from wood called 'terijoensalava' (salix euxina ’Bullata’) in Finnish - I dont know if there is an english translation for it. The wood was extremely soft, light and kinda powdery (?) inside - not much real grain on it. I bet you could carve a wooden knife from pine and carve this wood with the wooden knife.

Sounds of Beast In Black, if power metal was mixed with Abba, of course!

And in the present I've fallen back to using flash drives, because every cloud file hosting service is unreliable or a privacy nightmare. History is like a usb stick you keep rotating until it fits.

But do not watch the sequel. It ruins the whole beautiful thing.

Both to them and society.

At least part of it survives. Better some than none.

It continues marching on as The Eye.

Huh, this stirs some memories about a cabbage, carrots and potato 'gruel'/stew our mother used to make when I was a kid in the early 90's. Our country was in bad economic depression at the time, and our family was having it hard. I remember hating it as a kid.

I think I'm gonna improvise a pot of something similar in the weekend, maybe I'll appreciate it more nowdays.

Thank you for sharing.

I'm just embracing my inner peasant in this ever increasing modern techno-feudalistic worldscape.

Yep, nostalgia is a powerful thing. We used to eat it with vanilla sugar as kids, that works wonderfully well too imho.

 

My fancy peasant's gruel. Semolina gruel that turned into porridge like consistency (see I can afford the wheat, no need to water it down) with cut up wiener pieces in it. I'm sometimes fancy like this.

Its working for me now, I tested it this morning. Even tried swithching the user agent back to Firefox and yep - Youtube gets magically some buffering problems with it.

Close youtube tab, switch user agent back to chrome, clear cache and restart the browser: no buffering problems. What a bunch of assholes.

I've reported this earlier to EU competition ombudsman, like a about a year ago, and they confirmed then that they were getting reports about the issue, Google of course denying the practice. Hopefully they are working on some punishment for Google in the background.

What was the so called spiritual part of abstaining from these, or in in general, on this whole thing? No need to answer if you dont feel like it or whatever, just thank you for your insights.

 

A pain hook (self-use massage device for the neck and back) made from a pine branch. Snoopy-like dog appeared from the branch while whittling, hence the name.

Lightly stained with walnut colour stain and a light beeswax layer on top of that so it feels smooth on the skin. Handle made from old repurposed leather belt strips.

These pain hooks are an old Finnish and Karelian thing for massaging one's neck and back, and I was wondering if these sort of self-care "devices" are known and in use in other cultures?
