This is nice to see from Fastmail: native desktop apps for Mac, Linux, Windows. I wonder if the FMail developer will call it quits now? www.fastmail.com/blog/desk…
I’m trying Asahi Linux on an M1 Macbook Air and it’s great, except that the battery continues to drain A LOT during sleep. That’s not so great. In comparison, I have a 2009 Macbook Pro running Peppermint OS that is also great with a battery in sleep that lasts for months.
Cutting the mortises for the hinges to hang the closest door I’m making. I always find this process a bit frightening.
This month, I’m marking four years with Fastmail and two years on Kagi in my ongoing quest to use better services. 🎉
Working on a long, narrow door to cover a narrow closet in our house where we keep sheets for bedding. The closet has a curved top. I’m using parts of a chair I got at a thrift store that perfectly matches this curve and plan to veneer it. We want to allow for air flow so this seems like a good solution.
Breaking down a sheet of cherry plywood with hand tools isn’t easy, but it’s mostly figuring out how to hold the work in place.
What in interesting project. The Library of Time: libraryoftime.xyz
This was a fun, quick project: I used offcuts from the midcentury cabinet I just completed to make a small first aid station in the bathroom. This replaces an old, broken wall heater that came with the house. I made it removable in case I ever need to get to the electrical wiring I hid away in the wall. The frame of the cabinet has tiny little walnut splines for strength and it’s attached to the 1/4 inch box with glue and four dowels (made from toothpicks).
I completed my midcentury cherry cabinet, made with zero power tools. Here it is in place. The top sides are half blind dovetails, the base full dovetails. The door panels are 3/8 inch thick and slide along grooves. I’m pleased with how it turned out.
One of the sliding doors are fit in the mid-century cabinet project, one more to go and then on to the feet.
