I don't think it's soldered on.

I don't want to damage the menuki.

How do I take the backing off these cuff links?
They were made from Japanese menuki. The backing is silver.
Any help would be appreciated.

I found a couple on etsy.

Thank you so much. I was almost ready to just use plain boring hinges.

Thanks, I'll save that tip about bicarbonate of soda. I need a whole lot of them though and I can't find more than sets of two in the size I need.

Bless your heart.

My god, I've become a monster. Where's my sword? I need something to fall on.

It's convenient and the people who let it really bother them probably aren't worth having conversations with anyway.

Why is it so hard to find good new Eastlake style hinges? Look at this garbage, it blows my mind that something made 100-150 years ago could be so much better than the same thing made today.

Does anyone know a good source for Victorian style hinges?

I wish I had the patience for hand planing. I have a mechanical plainer and a joiner. Plainers can be a bit pricy but they're worth their weight in gold.
One of my joys in life is taking salvaged lumber and plaining it just a little so it's cleaned up but still shows wear.

No problem. I'm making cabinet doors at the moment.

Well it depends what you're making. For most stuff that I make which is mostly tongue and groove it's very important. Shit just won't fit together if it's bending around in weird ways. On top of that for most decent projects you're going to want your wood a different width than what it's sold as. Plaining is the best way to get your wood the size you need it. Doing proper joining is also important although you can do a decent job of that on a table saw.

My problem is usually drastically under estimating how long things take.

If you want to see what I'm up to you can ctrl+f my handy-dandy trip.

First off, there is no rule. if there was there wouldn't be a name field.
Secondly you're not a mod so it's not your job to enforce the rules. What you're doing is the equivalent of yelling at random people because they're wearing white after labor day. Or trying to issue a speeding ticket when you're not a cop.
To me that seems pretty autistic.

>>850741
I'll admit that's nicer than what I thought someone would make who acts as autistic as you.

How old are you? Do you even know the first thing about woodworking or did you just pop in to stir up shit?

Christ almighty, that comment is two days old. And as if tripfags are the only ones who leave vapid unnecessary comments.

Examine your life.

I'm not as passionate about wall mounted stuff as you. My job requires me to move around so my shit needs to be portable.

Splitting a pvc pipe would be pretty tricky with just a hand saw.
