Wood Rather DIY

Perfect Catio weather

Everyone’s talking about the lack of bots after the data center attack. I’m over here like “That’s Bluesky everyday”

Posted a video about the abuse of AI to tell a fictional sob story to help sell multiple products. It’s not surprising that the algorithm did not like it much. Meta is never gonna do anything about the issue.

Does it really matter that much if I’ve already worked for the company I’m currently applying for? Is it that hard to find out for themselves that they have to ask that in the application? Don’t they keep records?

So I make catios for windows. The catios have screens. I post stuff about it on Facebook and Instagram usually. The difference between the IG crowd vs Facebook, holy hell. This one comment feels like a character from the office.

Some questions and comments I get from people about my catios

Some people say they look like bat’leths. I don’t see it… #woodworking #pizzacutters #Startrek

I was let go from my full time job as a UX front end developer. I am technically still employed until the end of the week but I’ve been locked out of the system the minute they told me last week and can’t do anything.

The pizza rocker blade can cut multiple things with one swipe like the Crunchwrap. Now with cherry and walnut handles! #woodworking #pizzacutter

This is why the Epstein Files threaten to pull out the lynchpin holding together the MAGA Cult. They start to question: is Trump protecting the Deep State?

Food lines. This isn't over there somewhere, it's here.

Made these pizza cutters. They are 16” in length and cuts more than just pizzas. Stainless steel blades are very strong and the holes keeps them light and allows them to be hung on a hook. Making these helped me forget the news for a bit. #woodworking #pizzacutter #pizza #cherry #walnut

Super happy about these coasters. I sketched this up on my iPad and sent off to print. Will be giving them away at the harvest fest.

Something to be happy about: my vinyl banner arrived in time for the harvest fest I am going to be a vendor for so everybody knows who I am while they browse!

Trying to use my laser cutter more which is easier said than done

Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond.  Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW

Release Spider-man: Beyond the Spiderverse and also the Epstein files.

I avoided tear out on this plywood cut just by using a zero clearance plate

Good morning friends. This kid is spot on 👏🏼💙

little dowel keeping things together. Nobody’s ever going to see it but it’s going to keep doing its job. I like to think there are people out there who are still doing their jobs and keep things together even if I can’t see it. But I also know I have to put it there first or it can’t do its job.

I won't be surprised if they were hiding something bigger. With all the drama from yesterday's cat fight, I'm left wondering what actual big news flew under the radar masked by this distraction?

I can’t be an influencer. I would rather give tips on saving money than push for something that I would never buy for myself. Posting on social media becomes a full time job. Anyway, follow me for more money saving tips and make sure to hit like and subscribe!

Sam says happy pride month!

Small Catio orders are so much fun to make and they’re super cute and light.

Photos of my most recent window #Catio build. It still amazes me that technology has allowed me to build and send catios across the US without ever meeting clients in person.

Help me get to 200 sales on my Etsy shop, I'm only 12 away. Help me take my mind off all the things going on in the world by giving me something to work on in the garage. Yup, that's where I'm at right now.

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Have you tried bamboo? First time working with it and I'm a fan. #woodsky #woodworking #diy

In 2023, I made a simple video that went viral and started my side hustle. No music, no fancy transitions, just putting in my window #Catio. 11 million views. Happy #caturday

I'm trying bullet journal method and so far I feel like I'm failing. I can't figure out if it's just a mind shift, a learning curve, or if I'm not built for that kind of discipline. Is it more of a to do list than a journal? If you have tips, let me know.

Quick video of the lock installation and using a jig to enlarge an existing hole.

Congrats to Wisconsin. Thank you for giving me hope.

Late to the party but I installed one of these yesterday. It was not just an easy swap, the old lock that broke was a different style. That’s the downside of updating stuff in an old home. It’s got character but everything is slightly different from standard. #diy #homeimprovement

The easy button I didn’t know I needed

We’re living in a world where Kanye is selling shirts with swastikas on them and no one is batting an eye.

Here are some progress shots of my #Catio project. It’s designed to be placed in the window within seconds without using any tools.

Did you know there’s been a rising trend in microplastics found in human brains? It all makes sense now

We survived the first month! Here’s a progress shot of my first #catio order this season.

I deleted my TikTok account as soon as it was “resurrected“ for a number of reasons. One of those reasons, if what they say is true, it is a security risk. Second, there was a secret conversation that somehow made it all okay to continue business as usual??

Just wanted to say hello before it gets awkward. I signed up a while ago but hesitated to post anything because I didn't want to be judged. You only get to make a first impression once (It's a lot of pressure).
