Thank you!According to Oxford Reference, the proverb originates from Russia. Though there they say "measure 7 times, cut once". I guess there they have a tad bit better measuring devices than us :D Nothing compared to America where you get away with just two measurements. 🤣Hmm, you might be right. My thinking was that "length" would be the longer section or parallel with the grain. The width would be perpendicular with the grain and thickness - well it is thickness. And do you mean that the sill needs to be thick enough to support the flowerpots (not deep)?Yeah, I guess I should give more attention to handsaws. Thank you for the tip - I will check it out.Yes, I did the long groove with a handheld router by cutting half the width from each surface. And yes, I did cut th…

Awesome!! Thank you!The motorcycle is IZ from 1956. It has a sidecar as well - not original though. My 16 yo brother has been restaurating it for quite some time now and got it working really well. The only thing left now is a paintjob.I would love to see your cabinet once you finish it!

- CraftAndu commented on CraftAndu's instructable Minimalist Table Legs From Flat BarView Instructable »
I'm sorry it has taken me so long to reply to you.Well, l the only sure method to combat wobble would be to add diagonal braces. Be it some metal or cable etc. It's not ideal as it leaves less room for people's legs under the table.I personally would try adding two flat bars horizontally right where the legs connect to the table. This would lessen the wobble a bit without ruining the look.Another less appealing solution would be to add 45 degree braces to each corner. The angle you would have to figure out yourself as you have trapezoidal legs. This solution would definitely be more visible.I hope I have managed to explain my ideas clearly. Good luck.Mind sharing photos of the table? I would love to see it! 😉

Oh No! The buckles on those tie-down straps seem like a really bad idea! Great for height adjustment but imagine if you are hanging upside down and they break. Great project anyway. Cheers!

Well, I mean you be right. I have only glued two mirrors up in my lifetime. Regular silicone seemed to work okay for that but thanks for the tip! ;)
View Instructable »Yeah! I am actually doing research for building a new one. I want its lights to be diffused. There is an option to buy a special flexible sleeve that the LED strip fits into or to buy already diffused LED strip. These options are available but quite hard to get hands-on due to shipping price and time. Yes, was actually considering a limit switch but I could not figure out a way to mount it while still looking professional and clean.

Wow, 250 year old house! That must look amazing! Where do you live?
Oh, sorry! I thought I answered your question quite some time ago but it seems it did not go through.Am I right that you want to replace old window sill? If yes then I do not think it differs much from making a completely new sill. You could probably use the old sill as a template if you get it out in one piece. I did a quick search on Youtube with "replacing window sills". It gave quite a few results. Maybe some of those could be a use to you?Cheers! Andu

Well I found mine at my local construction supplies store. It was really cheap so I bought two. 😄 You know if you have a welder and an angle grinder you could try making your own. 😉 Maybe like the one I made for my workshop. Check out the Bullerjan stove project if interested.

Wellll....I do not see a problem. I measured the thickness from the old riving knife and referenced off of that. The knife is thinner than the kerf.
I hope this helps you 🙂

This is not an igloo, nor a snow cave. This is a snow Quinzhee! ;)
Oh! Thanks you for that information! :)
That is a fantastic idea!
