Fill it up with petroleum distillate and revulcanize my tires post haste!

I was also going to mention checking out Chris Schwartz work on workbenches.

In the book The Anarchist Workbench he mentions making a bench out of solid slabs and the issues you might face. The book is available on his website as a PDF here. Mainly about getting a full slab that is solid enough throughout for the bench top. He specifically mentions soft spots and sponginess issues. But in his case it was a matter of how long the wood was left outside. Might not be much of a concern for you, depending on how dead the tree is I suppose.

In the article that is linked in the video that karpintero referenced he also mentions some of the difficulties of working full slabs with hand tools. Which is something to keep in mind. Definitely not going to be a one weekend project regardless of if it’s the full slab or not.

Might be worth seeing if there were a local shop that would square it up for you.

I think it really just comes down to how comfortable you are with taking on a large project like that.

Personally I was all excited to make a bench and then once I got to looking into it the more I realized if I started it I would probably never finish it so I never started it.

But it would be cool to see updates on what ever project you make. Good luck!

I bet that’s a new kind of mace.

I think we can trust the president of Cuba!

But that’s how people know it’s a Honda!

Is that sodium tetra sulfate bonding with chlorophyll?

Just a normal day in the US of A. Add it to the collection.

This person seems to think that CSI Miami pioneered the format. So of course it easy to find examples of them being wrong. CSI Miami wasn’t even the first CSI. So I am sure they can’t remember that premium cable channels that don’t have commercials exist. Let alone that public broadcasting doesn’t have commercials.

They just trained their employees using other people’s copyrighted works. What’s the problem?

According to a random Reddit comment it was down for maintenance, but that comment was made 20+ days ago. Odd there is no mention of it being down on the main page or anything especially because all of the links on the main page point to forum posts.

Re-Logic

The team at Re-Logic has been watching the recent events surrounding Unity with both interest and sadness. The loss of a formerly-leading and user-friendly game engine to the darker forces that negatively impact so much of the gaming industry has left us dismayed to put it mildly. While we do not personally use Unity outside of a few elements on our console/mobile platforms), we feel like we cannot sit idly by as these predatory moves are made against studios everywhere.

We unequivocally condemn and reject the recent TOS/fee changes proposed by Unity and the underhanded way they were rolled out. The flippant manner with which years of trust cultivated by Unity were cast aside for yet another way to squeeze publishers, studios, and gamers is the saddest part. That this move was wholly unnecessary pushes things into the tragedy category - a cautionary tale the industry will not soon forget.

We do not feel that a simple public statement is sufficient. Even if Unity were to recant their policies and statements, the destruction of trust is not so easily repaired. We strongly feel that it is now equally important to get behind some of the other up-and-coming open source game engines. Lighting some candles in an otherwise dark moment. To that end, we are donating $100,000 to each of the open source engines listed below.

Additionally, we are sponsoring each of these projects with $1,000/month each moving forward. All we ask in return is that they remain good people and keep doing all that they can to make these engines powerful and approachable for developers everywhere.

Re-Logic has always been supportive of game developers and indie studios that do things the right way. We feel that our actions in this moment are the best way to carry that mission forward - by accelerating and strengthening competing open source game engines, we hope to empower and assist studios that are struggling with how best to proceed given these recent events.
