Inch Conversions Table
I wanted a chart of inch fractions to decimal values to put on the wall, since I can never seem to find my ruler with them printed on it. I tried to make it in the style of a mathematical/engineering tables from the first half of the prior century. Insiprations being some volumes I own: “Mechanical Engineers’ Pocket Book” (9th ed. 1915), “Mathematical tables from Handbook of chemistry and physics “(7th ed. [Read More]Second Wooden Air Return
I previously created a wooden air return vent and mentioned that there was a second, larger spot in the floor that needed a vent. [Read More]Work Table from Old Notebook

The bone eater’s head is supported by several pale jointed legs, like those of a misshapen cancerous crab. [Read More]Bob Humanson
Totally just a Human Fighter—not a Dwarf, no sir.
A stocky. . . man, standing 4ft 3inches tall with a horribly-scarred face scowls at you while fingering the blade of his axe. [Read More]Air Return Vent
It seemed like a great idea, but the plan had some holes.
My house has a couple places where an old-style wooden grate used to be. I’ve been putting off making them for some time, cutting all the notches to fit the grid together just seemed tedious. [Read More]
