I finally got my hand on some pallets and wanted to use one of the shittier planks to make something to lean on so I dont fuck my knees/back up taking the rest apart. Plus, an easy little project for my adhd riddled brain to accomplish in an hour or so. :)

PS: make sure you get heat treated planks ONLY if you're gonna do pallet stuff. don't get chemicals in them pretty lil lungs xx

    The discoloration indicates you should be eating more fiber.

      fiber

      I'd argue there is plenty of fiber. Nothing but, in fact.

    I like the eyes but I don't understand why they are so far way from the mouth.

    Even with those changes my "Ent dreams" joke still doesn't work at all. Sigh.

    Hey if it works it works.

    This isn't directly related to your post but when am I gonna get a chance to discuss woodworking on hexbear again? So I've got a copy of this book, Medieval Furniture: Plans and Instructions for Historical Reproductions, and the first project is making a simple oak bench (see fig. 1). The whole thing can be made out of two 10' 1x8s. But I live in an area such that I have to rely on the local big box store for my lumber. To make this baby out of oak from the store would cost me $125†, which is too rich for my blood. But to make it out of pine would only be $25†. Trouble is I'm a big guy. A really big guy. So I'm not confident that I wouldn't go through the trouble of making the damn thing only to have it snap in half the first time I tried to sit on it.

    Fig. 1. My crude sketchup model of the bench. The original medieval bench has some decorative carving I certainly wouldn't do, but also some more elegant curves in the legs and the long seat stretchers that I was too lazy to go through the hassle of modelling.

    † Prices based on pre-war figures

      I reckon your design will need some additional bracing between the legs if you end up making it from pine.

      You might be able to find cedar lumber at the big box store, it's pretty common for outdoor construction
