  • I’m glad people love the scent of wood. Working with green oak blew me away. It smells sweet! It kind of smells like vanilla and cinnamon. Theres actually a guy who made oak flavored ice cream by toasting oak scraps and soaking them in the cream he intended to use.

    Also good to know i shouldn’t be self conscious of all the scars and stuff. Thought it’d make me look like an idiot haha.


  • Especially cause chairs are fucking hard (for the good ones). Lots of specialtly equipment to make it. A steam box, a kiln, bending jigs, all sorts of cushioning, fabric, springs, twine, burlap, its mind-blowing. I saw a master upholsterer give a demonstration and the depth of the craft of just constructing the cushion is jaw dropping.






  • Knife sharpening. Not hard to learn how to do it decently, and hard to find someone who can do it decently. The equipment is not too expensive either. 40$ for a good coarse stone (you will need one!!!) And 40$ for a decent combo stone of medium and fine. You probably want a good flattening stone too.

    DONT use amazon, all of the stones there are scams. A good coarse stone is a Naniwa lobster 220. A good combo stone is the KING KDS 1000/6000.





  • A lot of white Germans and nazis, even after the war. Denazification was a toothless affair. Look at how rich Otto Skorzeny was. Many of Hitler’s generals were let off the hook, even a lot of the Waffen SS. On top of that you have the executives of arms manufacturers, steel mills, oil refineries, any company vital to the war effort.

    Every regime has its cronies.
