Shart of the deal

Lye (or another similar alkali) and fat (or another similar lipid) are the ingredients in the making of soap. Those ingredients when combined chemically react. The product of that reaction is soap. There is no lye in soap- if there were it would burn your skin.

I suspect that the article is referring to detergent, which is not soap.

I brew coffee with dark roasted beans. I measure the beans by volume before grinding. Been doing that for decades. I guess I’m just making coffee improperly

It’s a ‘mixed use’ airport. A military airport with civilian human shields.

You can make your featherboards any shape and stiffness you want. A wide short one for the fence, pretty stiff and barely pushing on the material from above (just enough to keep it from rising up, really) along with a dado depth support directly behind the stack sounds like it’d do it.

This.

Musical instruments have been made far longer than there have been power tools. Methods of cutting veneer with hand saws are documented from hundreds of years. Roubo on Marquetry covers it well enough for your purposes I think. DM me and I’ll send you a .pdf.

Where in the world are you located? I have material in yellow cedar- a tone wood very similar to spruce- in pieces 6" wide x thick veneer to 3/8" thick, very tight vertical grain that I can supply you with at an attractive price.

It looks like you’re in Europe so shipping may be prohibitive. I’m in the USA.

Try setting it up with the mouth at about 1/16" and the chipbreaker really close to the edge

Return the plane.

Not sure where you are and what is available to you but personally (for iron body planes) I prefer the better quality ones from the first half of the 20th century.

There are 3 ways to improve the cut on a smoother. 1 close the mouth 2 increase the cutting angle 3 adjust the chipbreaker close.

None of them are magic bullets, and for the most part you have to use one of them. Sometimes you can use mostly one and a little bit of another, but if you max out all 3 you’ll have a badly choking mouth.

In what let’s call the Jewish diaspora there is a strong thread of fascism. The fascists currently (and for some time now) are in control of the israeli government. If the israeli people were not in support of such fascism they are doing a poor job of expressing it. Globally fascism among jews is not universal, probably not even a majority though I have no hard data here. Anecdotally among the Jewish people I know there is one rabidly fascist of the kill all the Palestinians ilk, a few who claim not to support genocide but will get loud and in your face at any criticism of it and many who are disgusted by it and will openly say so. Your mileage may vary.

Or it’s a nonstate actor with unknown intentions. Corporate reconnaissance, perhaps? Musk preparing for his privatization of the military…

Built by nazi Germany during wartime 80 years ago? Can’t imagine it’s in very good shape now.

Starlink’s bank accounts are frozen. Musk loves money more than providing service. I doubt he’ll provide the service for free.

I’m using the z-library app. It does the searching for me :)

Depends what you mean by human. If you restrict the term to homo sapiens you put yourself in a small minority. I’d say the fact that these people used tools in a sophisticated way pretty much defines them as human.

What then? Aliens? Sentient ants?
