One of the best home-brewed desks I have used was fabricated from a large, and thick solid-core hardwood-veneer door. It rested on a two-drawer file cabinet at each end and was rock-solid. I used the pre-cut hole for the doorknob to pass th

I have an original deck which was given to me in 1984 by a close friend, a recording engineer who had worked with Brian Eno. He'd had tgem for seversl years before he gave them yo me. I should probably figure out what box in which I ha

I think that Blender has pushed Autodesk and Side-Effects to recently offer vastly-reduced price "indie" licenses for Maya, Max and Houdini. There are some limitations, of course, particularly a maximum revenue limit of $100K&#x2F

I have a work computer workstation setup in a spare room and treat it like going to work. Originally, I set it up on the kitchen table and I never stopped working. My wife said, "enough!" The office signals that it's time to

An odd thing that spelling, "Nitroprill," as Orica's commercial prilled AN specifically for coal mining is spelled "Nitropril," with a single "l." Although Nitropril has stabilizers for resistance to break

And that is called the shadow effect. The UV-C doesn't much make it into the plastic statically-charged inner layer of the mask. In May I built a 5-ft long 24x24" cross-section sealed plywood box with a small (6x6") MERV13 fi

Yes! In my experience a well-crafted SOW is key to the practical understanding between client and contractor. Good SOW language is clearer and, IMO, psychologically less daunting to negotiate than contract language. The SOW provides a roadm
