![]() ![]() Since I don't have any outdoor space and I have a cat and dog with hair, I built a makeshift dust tent using plastic drop cloth, masking tape, and a few chairs. The table needs to cure for 72 hours, and anything that lands on it in the first 10 will stick. So your cold garage might be out unless you have some space heaters handy! Second, think temperature: this epoxy will only cure properly at 75 degrees or more. However do not use cardboard alone, as the epoxy can soak through! In case the plastic tears at all, the cardboard can absorb some drips. ![]() I laid down cardboard under plastic sheeting. Since you'll be pouring the epoxy over the edge, you need to prepare for lots of epoxy to land on the floor. Get your workspace set up! Don't skimp on proper prep, or you'll end up with rock-hard epoxy permanently stuck to your floor. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases you make using my affiliate links.

This slab of maple came from my parents' property in Connecticut. So I decided to use bartop epoxy resin to finish the whole piece.Įpoxy resin doesn't stand up to high heat, so use coasters for coffee and cocoa and never put a hot pan or dish directly on the table. This live-edge piece of wood had some holes on top that I wanted to fill, and something had to be done to hold the bark on. Here's the free plans to build this coffee table.Turn a slice of raw wood into a durable coffee table! This guide follows my process for finishing a cross-cut maple "cookie" slab with epoxy resin and attaching hairpin legs. It is gorgeous, and I'm very proud that I was able to take on such a great project. This coffee table was not easy to build, but it was worth it!! I ended up spending about 8 hours on it and $150 in lumber. To protect the finish and make it wipe clean, I added a layer of clear Polyurethane. Wiping it in and off in a very light layer. So I added a watered down white paint layer, I stained the entire project with "golden oak" by Varathane. Then I sanded with 120 grit sandpaper in the direction of the wood grain. I also filled the corners that ended up having small gaps. I filled the few nail holes with wood filler. I nailed the inside panels on with 1-1/4" brad nails. I had to use a screw to help me pull the panel back in place when I was setting it (see the screw at the top left?). The inside pieces are 1x12s pocket holed together and set in place. ![]() Then I cut the bottom pieces, attach together and then fit inside the two face frames and attach to the coffee table. On the underside of the top (and later the bottom shelf) I added the 1x2 supports to help support the center of the coffee table. Then I repeated those steps for the two side panels.įor the corners, I nailed with 1-1/4" brad nails. I drilled pocket holes to attach the two pieces together, and also pocket holes to attach to the face frames.Īfter joining the two 1x12 pieces together, I attached to one of the face frames. Do double check your cuts and make sure they are straight all the way across. It was actually a challenge to make the 45 degree bevel cuts on the saw, the 1x12s wanted to move on me as I was cutting. The two face frames need to match EXACTLY. Then I clamped the face frame boards and attach with 1-1/4" pocket hole screws. I was careful not to let any pocket holes show on the side edges of the face frame boards. Then I drilled 3/4" pocket holes on the ends of the shorter face frame boards. This is the smallest saw I would recommend, a 12" would work better. I am using a 10" sliding compound miter saw. The 1x3s I actually ripped from 1圆 boards to get that square edge.Īfter testing my saw, I cut the face frame boards first. My 1x12s ended up measuring 11-1/8" wide - just make sure all the 1x12 widths are the same. I did run the boards through the table saw to create the square edges. Do not attempt this project without the right tools and a good amount of building experience. This coffee table was a challenge for me, but I enjoyed stretching my skills and creating something I was super proud of in the end. ![]()

![]() There is 5 tables in the game, different from the past games, where there were only two. The game in overall still have many 2D elements, like the Pokémon, and the Pokéball, but there is also a bunch of 3D elements, including the flippers and bumpers, much like the trees in the Generation IV games. In Pokémon Pinball: Diamound & Pearl it is possible to capture a shiny Pokémon, but the chances are slightly higher from the ones in the main games, being only 1 out of 5620. Now, with Nintendo DS's large and dual screens, the table is seen fully at all times.Īnother difference is the inclusion of Shiny Pokémon. In previous games, because of Gameboy Color's and Gameboy Advance's small screen the camera followed the ball. One of the first notable changes is the way you see the Pinball Table.
![]() ![]() Vintage Lane furniture is generally characterized by relatively neutral styles, which are versatile in different kinds of interiors, as well as good quality woods and careful manufacturing. In 2022 United abruptly closed and ceased operations at Lane. The company was acquired by United Furniture Industries in 2017 and became particularly well-known among contemporary consumers for its upholstered furniture. Ads for the Lane series suggested that it included “probably the best-selling table in the world.” (There are end tables, cocktail tables and more in the Acclaim collection, sporting graceful tapered legs and dovetail inlays.) Later, during the 1960s, Lane offered handsome modular wall units designed by the likes of Paul McCobb. Lane’s Acclaim walnut furniture line, which, designed by Andre Bus, has been compared to Drexel’s Declaration series for its blend of modern furniture’s clean contours and traditional craftsmanship. The brand’s vintage mid-century furniture is highly sought after. In the 1950s, the family-owned company began to branch out into manufacturing tables, bedroom pieces and other various furnishings for the entire home. Wartime production during World War II had Lane producing aircraft parts. Anchored by copy that read “The gift that starts the home,” the campaign rendered a Lane cedar chest a necessary purchase for young women to store linens, clothing and keepsakes as they prepared to marry. Ads tied the company’s strong cedar hope chests to romance. The company prospered and applied mass-production methods to its cedar-chest manufacturing after the war, and, in 1922, rebranding as the Lane Company, it implemented a national advertising campaign to market its products. The Standard Red Cedar Chest Company struggled in its early days but introduced an assembly system at its small factory after securing a contract with the federal government to produce ammunition boxes made of pine during World War I. His son, Edward Hudson Lane, was tasked with the manufacturing of the cedar “hope” chests for which the Lane family would become known, even though the company was initially incorporated as the Standard Red Cedar Chest Company. In the spring of that year, John Lane purchased a defunct box factory at a bankruptcy auction. The Lanes hoped to start a town in this region of the state, and by 1912, streets for the town of Altavista had been laid out and utility lines were installed. They owned a cotton mill and purchased thousands of acres of land in Campbell County, Virginia, where the Virginian railroad was intended to cross the main line of the Southern Railway. The manufacturer was off to a modest start but the family was industrious: The Lanes were made up of farmers and contractors who’d built more than 30 miles of the Virginian railroad. When the first iteration of the Lane Furniture company began to produce its now-famous Lane cedar chests in the early 20th century, the family behind the brand was unsure of how successful they’d be, so they initially didn’t bother adding their name to the offerings. ![]() ![]() ![]() Scroll down the menu and click “Make a Copy.

It uses the highly secure OpenVPN protocol (or, for macOS and iOS devices, IKEv2/IPSec as the default option, a little less bleeding-edge than OpenVPN but still a very secure protocol) and provides a customizable kill switch feature that can shut down certain apps in the event of a VPN drop-out, ensuring they don’t keep functioning and transmitting data outside of the VPN’s protected environment. NordVPN offers high-quality security, with standard AES-256-CBC encryption and frequently changed encryption keys. We spent over 10 hours researching and comparing NordVPN and Surfshark to see how they stack up on the four key metrics identified above. Price We look at how various plans are priced for a given VPN and how those prices work out as value-for-money when compared to features and services. That includes download speeds, monthly data limits and the number of devices that can be connected to the VPN simultaneously.Ĥ. Performance We evaluated performance features that will be key to the streaming capabilities of multiple team or household members using the same connection. ![]() Having access to servers that are geographically closer to you will matter to the speed and performance of your VPN connection, so it’s important to be aware of the specific countries in which your VPN network has coverage.ģ. The more server coverage it has in more countries, the more your VPN will be able to spread out “server load” from multiple users and ensure reliable performance at all times. Server Coverage A VPN provides access to a network of servers. That includes encryption tools (the current standard is 256-bit AES encryption with PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512 password hashing) and a privacy policy that protects your data from third parties (particularly key is having a no-log policy that ensures the company doesn’t hold on to any data that it might be tempted to pass on to third parties or government agencies).Ģ. Any VPN worth using should have the most up-to-date security protocols available. Security & Privacy The core mission of a VPN’s work is to maintain the user’s security and privacy. Keep in mind that, in addition to the presence or absence of these features, a lot about your eventual choice will depend on the specific uses you have for a VPN.ġ. ![]() These are the four most important features we look for in a VPN. With clear information about how competing companies perform in those key metrics, both home and business users can make confident decisions about which VPN will serve their specific needs and objectives. Identifying the truly high-quality offerings is a matter of focusing on the core key indicators of high performance in a VPN. The VPN market is flourishing, with plenty of competitors in the field advertising a multitude of features and services. In this review, we break down the key features of a good VPN to help you make an informed comparison between the offerings of NordVPN and Surfshark. ![]() ![]() The Red Cross responds quickly and efficiently to help people affected by armed conflict.

I read this very informative article by Jack Monroe recently which highlighted the need for more specialist “free from” food items to be donated also. Just make sure it’s got a shelf life of at least a few weeks. Given the time of year I think it would also be a nice to include some additional Christmas treats such as packets of festive biscuits, sweets and chocolate, Christmas cakes and puddings and maybe some bags of chocolate coins for kids.

A sore throat, laryngitis, tonsillitis, teeth or jaw problems, earache, hearing problems, sinus infections, thyroid problems and sore neck or shoulders may all suggest that you are facing a communication barrier somewhere in your life. When you are not able to express yourself freely, it can start to manifest physically in your body. Wear aqua aura quartz near your throat each day to stimulate the throat chakra. You may find that dealing with people on a day to day basis is frustrating and feel misunderstood as an individual, leading to a tendency to keep to yourself more and more over time.

I think Mattel should have tried to create higher resolution pictures for Myst Masterpiece. I don't think they re-rendered any of the pictures. So for Myst, they rendered the images in 24-bit colour, then they converted the pictures to 8-bit (indexed) colour using the palette chosen for that Age.įor Myst Masterpiece, they just went back to those 24-bit pictures. This is one of the reasons that the screen fades to black when moving between Ages - to allow the color palette to be changed for the new Age without getting rainbow flashes. The compromise Cyan chose is to use a common palette for every image in each Age. ![]() And if you used only a single 256-colour palette for all the images in Myst, the results would have been much less wonderful. But switching between these "palettes" is difficult without getting those flashes of rainbow noise. Fortunately, those 256 colours are not carved in stone the programmer can choose any 256 out of the "millions of colors" available on a 24/32-bit display. The original Myst used 8-bit images for its pictures, so each pixel in an image had to be one of 256 colours. Ust to nitpick, the images in Myst Masterpiece Edition are not higher res than those in the original Myst, unless one wants to claim a higher colour resolution. I'm not sure what it would look like in motion - the animated sky reflection must be good for something - but I really miss the reflected islands those are what make the iOS shot so nice. ![]() Then there's the seawater in the last shot, which has gotten a uniform "WTF" reaction from everybody I've chatted with. (The side island has been extended a little in the last shot, and there's a bit of bonus grass.) The textures and lighting are quite different. RealMyst Masterpiece Edition (upcoming): Īs you can see, the three RealMyst versions use almost the same models. In case anybody cares (and they probably don't, but what the hell, I gathered the screenshots) - here's a comparison between the various versions of Myst.

Better news: Cyan has continued to drop hints about an upcoming Kickstarter project - unrelated to the Myst series, and possibly appearing in the next few weeks. I confess that I can only get so excited about yet another Myst re-release. (See additional notes in a Facebook post.) As is Cyan's recent habit, they will offer an option of free movement or fixed-node navigation. However, it will target desktop machines (Mac/Win) and look much nicer. This new version presumably also uses Unity, building on the work they did last year. 2012: RealMyst for iOS (using the Unity engine). ![]()
