Child's Toy Train Set in c/woodworking@lemmy.ca

A child's train does not need fancy shouldered corners. I absolutely love that you took the time and effort to use shouldered corners.

Wobbly drill press stand in c/woodworking@lemmy.ca

Haha yes the grain direction isn't matched. This was made from 1 sheet + spare ply I had lying around. If I had enough, I might have made the effort. The sheet cut app I was using said I used something like 95% of the material. It was a tight fit.

I built a stand for my (new to me) drill press! Everything is nice and square, and I'm really proud of the result. And then I put it on my not so flat garage floor... And the locking casters aren't all that effective anymore. It's also pretty wobbly. Any tips for placing movable tool stations on wonky floors? Smoothing the floor sounds like too much work!

Going to run out of yarn (help!) (lemmy.world)

I started a knitting a jumper an embarrassingly long time ago (over 2 years ago). I've picked it up again and it's looking like I haven't got enough yarn. It's Dooish worsted weight yarn: https://www.skeinsisters.com.au/spinning-yarns-weaving-tales-dooish

Its looking like I'm going to need to buy an additional skein years after the initial lot. I'm hoping for some advice for how to best join a new ball from a new batch number without a glaringly obvious line due to a slightly different colour. I'm knitting neck down on circular needles, and am halfway down the body. Would starting the arms in the new ball look fine?

Help a scared novice knitter out please!
