Credit card in phone case is actually a nice idea (and somewhat obvious in hindsight)for the NFC thing, thanks!

Yes it's the apps. I probably could use the website as a workaround.
Yeah, I kind of have the reverse now. My old but still pretty good phones with lineage at home, the cheap Google phone to carry. Unfortunately my work requires WhatsApp which is annoying.
Thinking about maybe lineage on a oneplus phone at this point...
This is awesome, and the rest of your portfolio is really cool too!
That's a fair point too. I certainly don't usually aim to look brand new, just some TLC that still allows for some of the history to also be seen. The advantage of this being old is that it's all solid timber, no particle, veneer, panels etc. So I can hit it pretty hard.
As Marafon said in another comment, sanding is the eternal task. Reminds me of the Orson Welles quote "If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story."
I feel like I'm not quite where I want my ending on this one yet, but will get there at some point.
Yeah this is where I was headed haha. Thanks!
Restoring an old medicine cabinet with an apparently rough life, pulled from a junk pile. The interior was coated in thick white paint. I stripped that with a water based stripper, then sanded back with 80grit. That went pretty well but there is still quite a bit of paint deep in the grain, almost acting as filler in some of the larger/deeper fissures
Thinking of a few options:
- Manually picking out the paint, possibly with some heat. Probably not feasible as there are so many little flecks. A stiff brush helps, but so far not much luck
- Keep sanding back, which would probably require removing a lot of material to access all of these deep grooves. I'm leaning towards this, but also holding out hope that there might be a way to loosen/flush it out without losing too much wood
- Consider wax/stain options that might even it out. Least favoured option. I suspect the white might not take stain well, and pop even more. My original plan was just tung oil finish, which I'd still prefer
Any advice on ways to handle this?
It's especially bizarre and frustrating to hear this one constantly too, because most other regions on this list have extensive sanction regimes placed by the UNSC, justified or not. The real reason Gaza stands out here is the veto of any meaningful action on the part of the UN. The public outrage is in direct proportion to this institutional inertia.
Thanks for the suggestion, mayfirst looks pretty cool
