What kind of things does he make with his woodworking?

Does he have a workshop? Do you help him & learn how to do it too? I think woodworking would be cool to try.

Can he make you innovative furniture that fit together like puzzle pieces but can be expanded to make like larger tables or drawers in the bed base to help maximize your space?

[galled]

Ooo, I love some of the ideas I see from Korea and Japan! So clever! My guess is all of that stuff would be really expensive, but then again adding sq. footage to your space would cost way more.

Cutting boards and bowls, mostly

Kinda? It's still a mess and he hasn't finished setting it up

[galled]

Cool!

I found the link smart furniture. Show it to dad and see if he gets any inspiration. https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/18 ... mp4?tag=12

His workshop is nowhere near large enough to make most of that

[galled]

Yeah some of that stuff (wall units) need a factory, but the shelf tables and make up storage desk would be great storage and craft workspace. Still really cool and aspirational material.

[Kitalpha Hart]

There's also the whole "no space" thing

[galled]

Yeah, I would think if I were to have any of those kinds of things it'd be replacing 2 or 3 other things with the one multi purpose unit. If I were starting over with nothing like when I moved out to my own place, it seems, price/cost barring of course, the way to go.

Does dad gift his woodworking creations to family? How does he find the time?!

[Kitalpha Hart]

He gets some requests. I guess some he sells
I know he's not doing anything right now cuz the garage doesn't have heat so it's freezing in there

[Lemon Cheesecake]

A workshop would be a great room to add... hmmmm it looks like fun to be able to make things <if I had the room>

[Kitalpha Hart]

Wtf
So they got a new print bagger
Changing what it prints on the old bagger: change it out on the computer and hit print. Boom. Done
Changing the print on the new bagger: about 80 steps including beating the machine into submission and at least five minutes of the computer buffering

[Gingerale]

Is that a good thing, does that mean work got easier for you?

[galled]

Digitral printing on plastic? That's cool!

[Kitalpha Hart]

No, the damn thing has a maximum speed so the vast majority of the bagger jobs with rates cannot be hit, and fucks up so much it's barely usable
The first one I did today should've taken me about half an hour took me two hours. Second job I should've gotten at least 1k. I barely hit 300

Think like a small plastic bag with numbers printed on it. Don't get excited

[Lemon Cheesecake]

oof
sounds frustrating
