Is this an adaption of the TV show? Seems kind of thick for just a single volume, would it comprise a single season or the entire show? The rest seem like trash.

I’ll never understand these shelves where it’s ONLY Christian shit. People throw the term “autistic” around a lot, but this screams legitimate autism and fixation. I can’t imagine reading hundreds of thousands of pages on one subject

>>19718820

Are you sure? The TV show is pretty old I think it probably came first. What kind of quack doctor or student would even need one? That's what phones are for.

It isn't. It's great to get theology under your belt.
Ever heard someone ask something extremely stupid and winced in psychological pain? It's what we get when people try to "gotcha" the Bible and stuff. Also for btfo'ing edgy atheists.

Alas, I reckon anon has some other shelves for the fiction.

No. Those that read the bible and truly understand it cannot be atheist or agnostic. Those who truly understand dialectic and historical materialism will understand that it is an actual science.

My shelves are very near being complete. This week I'll start on another set of built-in shelves to complement another room. I'll likely use Cherry for the next set.

>>19719791

>>19718712

>>19719782
Dasha unironically has much better taste in books

>>19719809
>>19719819
It's not coming out of the wall without tearing down the wall. There are 3 RSS screws in each cleat.

Tell me, based on your experience building shelves, what makes you believe it's unstable, unsecure, or that the joints aren't done properly? Do you mean the face frame?

>>19719839
99% /x/ either doesn't read or wouldn't just collect like this dude is and have more stuff to any one specific practice

>>19719887
I'm a carpenter by trade and it doesn't need me to tell you a bigger screw does not mean it's more secure anon.

And it's not a bad build but give it another 6 months and that shit is coming down. Please anon, at the very least move the chair because all that wood could kill you if you were sitting in it.

>duh bible

>>19719791
Whoah can you take a better picture of the spines of those books please

>>19719914
Wow, I had no idea, I'll take it down right away. Do you think I should scrap all the wood too?

How Can I improve upon the design? Should I use some simpson strongties in the corners? Would better fasteners improve the resistance against shear?

Should I use 8/4 material instead of 5/4 material for the next build? Do you think I should go with White oak over Walnut to increase the compression, tension, and shear strength? What about static bending? How do I resist those forces?

Please point to the wood on the chart that would best help me.

How do I prevent catastrophic failure? Can I use more fasteners or predrill at a rate greater or less than 80% to achieve more rigidity?

Thank you so much, in advance, for the help and insight.

>>19719914
>>19720064
Should I use traditional joinery over woodscrews? What about adhesives? It'd be really swell to hear more about how to prevent my shelf from coming down atop my head within the coming months. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated my friend.

>>19720014

Oh bother, I do hate to go against the prevailing knowledge of the perpetually inebriated tradesman classes.

>>19720014
Do these pics work well enough for you? Sorry for the haste, I'm just nervous about the impending collapse of the shelves.

>>19718746

Thanks, I'm just all thumbs today. People ask about the chewed up Jane Eyre.

I can't get rid of it. My best friend's grandmother gave it to me the day we moved her out of her house and into a home just a few weeks before she died. She knew me since we were kids as "the one who read". My wife's rabbit chewed on it when we were in college.

>>19719070

>>19720134
the way you have your books ordered makes me think you probably don't read them

>>19720135
Along with Bakunin and Proudhon, I’ve had my fill of their retardation. But it was fun to read regardless.

>>19719945
Sascha Schneider. That painting is the inspiration for the movie “The Lighthouse” and there are no books of his works, so I compiled all of them and printed my own hardcover art book of his work.

>>19719988
Not Christian, but you’d have to be stupid to miss out on the knowledge gained not only from the Bible itself, but the frame of reference it gives you when interacting with literally every single piece of the western canon outside of the Greeks. Hence why I chose KJV, and not the Septuagint.

Here’s my dog.

>>19720219
They're a combination of thematically organized and by weight. The heavier hardbacks are stacked against the sides and the paperbacks are in the middle.

That shelf that's second from the top is primarily French, nineteenth century history with a little bit of British/Romantic literature and history thrown into the mix. I've read or casually examined each of those books except the Forster. I've only read one of those. Not only have I read each of those French books, but I have extensive notes and annotations for them. Some I professionally reviewed...

Listen here chud... I'm not doing the work for you. My clients pay for that privilege. If you want a safe and secure bookshelf I suggest you hire a professional to take a look and do over your shoddy craftsmen-ship. That or stop reading that god-awful philosophy and pick up a carpentry book.

Might I suggest Carpentry for Dummies.

And really anon, it's no skin off my back, it's your own body you are risking. Just know I will be looking out for news headlines involving a retarded man and his bookshelf in around about 6 months. Don't say I didn't warn you. Good luck anon and be well.

>>19721318
We could talk about authors, ideas, books...
or we can do show and tell to strangers in a desperate bid for attention

>>19720405
Well I'd agree with Proudhon. But I'd definitely suggest you take a more open minded approach to Kropotkin. I mean, is a naturalistic ethics really so controversial?

>>19721326
It just happened that way and I find it to be the most convincing

>>19718788
Do you mind sharing what do you do for a living, anon?

>>19721322
Dragos Kalajic, yes. I had to compile his works and send them to a hardcover book printer. I used to bind my own books from transcribing old digital copies by hand using twine to bind the pages

>>19721708
You’re a stupid faggot. Every other book is a seminal text of the entire western canon. Modern fiction is the least important.

More from the bottom corner.

>>19724316
Im still finishing the bottom and top trim on the shelf, they need to be shaven down a bit and shellac needs to go on top.

This is the shelf of oppression. I keep it hidden behind stacks of better books.

>>19724293
I've been hanging on to those for so long and never yet found anyone willing to play that edition with me. Did you ever have 2nd Edition monster manuals?
Here are the rest of my game books on the bottom of another shelf.

>>19724332
The shelf also needs the face frame on the two vertical supports at the bottom before I'm done. I didn't joint or sand the front and you can still see the bandsaw marks.

>>19724338
Yes, they're under our bed upstairs. My wife doesn't understand sentimentality and loves to throw things away because she's a minimalist.

Hey, thanks for looking out for me man. I dunno what I'd do withoutcha.

You think if I recalibrate my Berger I can get a better read on the shelf? Do you think that'll help to stabilize it afore it collapses?

Thanks again man. I know you tradies work some magic and anytime you can spare for a brother is appreciated.

>>19721856
You may have just saved my life. How can I thank you enough?

I gave a lot of thought to your suggestions, and I've decided to put some tapcons into my shelf. The exterior walls of the house are 24 inch concrete masonry units reinforced with rebar (https://www.angelusblock.com/returns/product_detail.cfm?display_id=199&return_id=4&pc=1&related=163).).

I was wondering what size tapcons should I use? My SDS has a 5/32 and 1/4, so I can use the two most common sizes of tapcon, and the smallest sized redhead. I just want to make sure this is secure brother.

>>19725419
Those things are like $1000, a bit overkill

>>19723928
Good purchase anon. Saw you in a past thread. I second the first replier.

>>19725337
a professional of what? You are a historian or a philosopher? Durant is a good writer and The Story of Philosophy is just as good as any other basic introduction. You are just asshurt that someone from 100 years ago is doing a better job than you at your own supposed 'profession'?

>>19725337
Just for this gay ass comment I looked into that book and just bought the Story of Philosophy.

>>19725698
>>19725779
I don't know. He's more of a layman than AJP Taylor and less systematic, disciplined, and structured than other popularizers like Toynbee.

You've got a broad range of approachable people who are better to dedicate the time and effort to read. Durant's just not that valuable. He's like Malcolm glad well or Jill lepore

Grow a back bone and have confidence in what you like before they convince you taking a cock in your throat is cool.

>>19725954
I don’t need to have confidence in what I like because I don’t base my identity on other things someone else created. You’re not a child because of some social construct, you’re a child for being entertained by media made to be collectible and serialized, it is more concerned with being marketable than actually artistic.

Also anime is for children. “BUT THERES BLOOD AND GUTS AND SEX”, yes, I loved all of that shit when I was 12.

>>19726008
You're lack of knowledge is outstanding and your foolishness impressive. Everything is meant to be sold and marketed and everything you read is produced by others. It looks like I struck a cord with the fact you've not only contradicted yourself but considered something as not "Artistic" because of a personal bias.

They also had modern library seutonius, tacitus, gallic wars, and 5 others but wanted $10 for each of them. There was an illustrated and annotated Moby dick modern library for $15.

>>19728724
very nice haul

>>19728734
This is a nice shelf, from the guy who built his shelves, I mean this in the sense of your literary taste.
>>19728758
Not him, but i make an effort to not crack the spines when I read them because of how frail paperbacks have been in the past. Some of mine are rare and I doubt I'd be able to replace them.

>>19728766
Tell me about it, since the start of the pandemic the plato and aristotle books are selling for $10 minimum, for paperbacks, at the local used bookstores. The Burckhardt has me the most excited.

This reminds me of living in Europe. As a "Wealthy American" I could afford a furnished place at 750 Euros a month, whereas my graduate student friends were living 5 in a 3 bedroom place and paying like 150 each.

They were like, GOD YOU HAVE SO MUCH MONEY when they came to see my 65 square meter place. When I went to visit their place, in the different cities I visited, they invariably had either Ikea furniture and nothing, or old lead painted walls that looked like this.

>>19728724
>>19729070
I've not only read much of these, as a student and a teacher, but I do intend to reread portions of each. I've read the Burkhardt at least 5 times.

The only one I might not read, is Hugo.

I like those dover editions. An old timer and I were just discussing the merit of the Dover Thrift edition books. As for the Hegel, Beiser is an okay dude. I met him for a party thing when he was doing Diotoma's children. Seems like one of t he nicer intellectual historians and I really appreciate the work he did in the 1990s.

As for Discipline and Punish, it's a bit overwrought, a bit dishonest, but one of the better of the shitty Foucault Books. That opening anecdote about flaying alive is such a one off event it's hardly worh repeating as a general part of corporeal punishment, which had largely been phased out of European society by the 18th century. In fact, the abuses of the Master/Serf and the Herr im Gut was all about that sort of disciplining.

that color on the wall also suggests a Benjamin Moore, color-of-the-year circa 2016 choice. Did your parents recently renovate or repaint the home within the last five years? The popcorn ceiling suggests the home was built between the 1980s and the early 1990s. While it's good for acoustics, I'd prefer a flat white.


I imagine you'll have a good collection by the time you get your own house.

I repainted my room about 5 or 6 months ago, as I had decided my old setup was a bit kiddy and I wanted to put myself in a fresher environment as I start uni. Also I kinda of despise how much modern furnishing emphasizes grey, white, black and brown. It makes me feel soulless

As for the Foucalt, I'm gonna be real I got 30 pages in and put that shit down. I like to keep busy and I didn't see myself gleaning anything too good from it, and now it's gonna collect dust. Probably going to go into more Dostoevsky next, Brothers Karamazov is my top book rn but his works are usually pretty dense and I haven't really had the time these past few months. Maybe I'll pick up Crime and Punishment this summer

>>19730404
Your room is painted horribly. I’m a painter by trade. That shade of blue is horrendous and an eyesore. The reason furniture has always had drab colors is because your environment is meant to be comfortable and blend in to your surroundings, not be a gigantic statement of electric blue.

Actually you come off as even more immature because it’s literally what they paint elementary school classrooms and playgrounds with. Don’t bother with Dostoyevsky, just stick to Captain Underpants.

What kind of painting? Exterior? Interior? Do you use a sprayer, Graco or Wagner? I have an lts190 and use corona brushes for high end stuff. Did the whole house with Ben Moore bc low VOC, two coat guaranteed baby!


Do you do high gloss jobs? I recently started playing with finishes and picked up a dual action sander for some spiffy glossy 19th century work. Been doing lots of hand rubbed shellac too.

I bought it while tripping on 10 hits of lsd. Mr bun is a spirit animal and a trusted friend

>>19730605
I didn't paint that! I grew up painting with my uncle. We restored old homes in New Orleans, north Carolina and va. I know all about "cutting in".

He used to say

There's btwo types of painters, apartment and house. Don't be an apartment painter.

>>19730635
That's where your wrong, I've no money.

The high gloss is an old European thing, like high end linoleum. My buddy has been assisting in the restoration of a dutch castle for 15 years, they're doing lots of gloss

I never knew this board had such a tard hyper fixation on paint

>>19730888
It’s a shitty gloss. It’s streaky and looks like it was either done with latex or HVLP oil spray by some Mexican.

I bought it when I was 14 and really I regret it. I could have bought a better one from amazon. I dont even like the show anymore season 4 was complete trash. Fart joke tier.

I like to play the games every once and a while when I'm board. And those Kanto Pokémon adventure manga were the first manga I got when I was a kid from my Grandma.
>Toys and Little Race cars
The car is from Lilo and Stitch its the one they used to fly around. As for the "toys" Ackshually they're considered "figures".
>Covid Mask
Yes I dont want to get the Vax really and I have an infinite free supply of mask from my families company.

>>19731058
for someone telling others to "Grow a back bone and have confidence in what you like" you sure are trying to justify the toys you own like a little bitch.

>>19731140

>>19731140

>>19731140
you should read some of those wehraboo history books faggot, they may teach you some things about being a man.

>>19728758
Also not op but I pirate all my shit and if I liked the book enough I buy a physical copy. Most of my spines are uncracked for that reason

>>19731209
Honestly I think cracking a spine happens when you fold the front cover back over it’s own spine, but for people who read holding the book open with both hands and out in the air in front of them, the books stay clean and they’re accused of not reading said book.

>>19731218
I hold the book open left hand, thumb on left page, pinky on right page out in front of me

>>19731236
Actually same. And I never crack the spine. But I’m also meticulous with all of my possessions.

>>19725925
>>19729021
Not judging, genuine question: why do people who collect manga often adorn their bookshelves with so many toys and paraphernalia? I'm not in the loop when it comes to weeb culture, I recently met someone who wanted to build a sort of 'shrine' for her favourite character, and it's still just a bit puzzling to me how you can love characters so much.

>>19732456
I'd say it depends of a lot of factors.
From my side, it's mostly because of gifts and habits (I got plushies because one of my exes had a collection of plushies).

Japanese product consumption is heavily linked to merchandising since decades, among reasons there's the fact it's reassuring to have little things that reminds you things you love, things you had a good time consuming (gunpla, nendoroid, etc). Like icons and religion-related stuff since ages, humanity is always reassured by having materialistic representations of their beliefs or passions.

It also permits to expresses a part of your individuality. Gunplas express fans' autism for the third Reich and big robots, SW fans express the nostalgy of childhood, nendoroids made from recent productions express the comfyness to possess your generic waifu of the moment.

Anyway tl;dr
>express the need to have icons
>the need to collection
>the need of express individuality though products
>the need to possess elements reminding a past experience
If you got more examples, I'd gladly like to hear them.

It all makes a lot of sense, yeah. I guess I also collect books, records and kitchen equipment because having a collection to look at is nice. Technically I could read everything I want on my e-reader and play all my music on Spotify and it would be more efficient.

Interesting that Japanese product consumption (or geekdom in general) evolved to this cherishing of physical trinkets, I feel like this is less so the case for other hobbies.

Honestly, owning a nice hardback copy of my favorite book, one that has had an impact on my life, and one that has shaped who I am today, is absolutely just as important as an old titty doll. Funko Pops are too far, but decrying physical books as needless consumerism is dumb, and also gay and globohomo. I think you should shut up, and stop caring about money so much.

>>19733374
Not talking about books, and I don’t care about wasting money. Money is to be spent.
