![]() I hope you enjoyed this video as I’ve got a lot more projects like this coming out as well as bigger builds and non-woodworking projects. You learn more about the jigs I used as well as the flocking and finishing techniques in the links below. And the solid brass hinges compliments the exotic woods and the the design. All of the joinery is mitered corners that are easily done on the tablesaw and reinforced with splines. The top tray slides effortlessly across the bottom tray and everything lifts out to reveal the hidden compartment. I’m really happy with the way this box came out. So after taxes and shipping the total cost of materials was $135.62 which doesn’t include the flocking and finish. Plus, each bin has enough room inside for up to 32 quarts. We love how the locking latches keep the gray lids securely in place, making it easy to pull any of these bins off of a shelf. They have high standards and a very good reputation for being the best in the business. These 10.5' tall stack-and-pull storage boxes let you tuck away clothes, linens, and shoes in your bedroom or out in the garage. Yes, the Brusso hinges cost a pretty penny but you can feel the difference in quality as soon as you hold them in your hand. I also decided to use the well made Brusso hinges that come in at $49.99. I chose to get a little fancy and paid $73.58 for the wood used in this project without any leftovers. The price of wood can be very dynamic depending on the choice of woods and your location. The tri-blend finish I recommend on exotic woods takes 4 days but each day only requires a couple minutes of work with a full day to dry between coats. If you choose to use a lacquer finish you could also get multiple coats done on the second day as it will dry fast. On day 2 the splines, chamfers and hinges can be added. On day 1 all the pieces can be cut and glued together. ![]() For this box I wanted to use special exotic woods so I went to Kencraft, my local hardwood dealer and picked out some Bocote for the sides, Zebrawood for the top and bottom and ebony for the splines.Īlthough I can’t give you an exact amount of hours it took to make this I can tell you that if well planned this could easily be made in two days. Elizabeth Ward Bead Storage Solutions 82 Piece Stackable Organizer Tray with Lid, 78 Compartments for Seed Beads, Crystals, and Craft Supplies, Clear. All these trays are lined with a soft flocking that feels like velvet and I’m using solid brass quadrant hinges with lid support from Brusso Hardware. Juvale Small Wooden Divided Box with 12 Grid Square Compartments for Jewelry, Dark Green, 13.2 x 9.2 x 1.57 In. When all the trays are lifted out, a hidden compartment is revealed underneath to hide your valuables. The inside has a top sliding tray that when moved left and right reveals two trays below it. This box that we’re about to make has mitered corners that can easily be done on the table saw and reinforced with easy-to-make splines.

Perhaps it’s because I grew up eating wheat flour, but I find gluten-free flour to be lacking in taste. I have noticed that gluten-free flour doesn’t have the same taste as regular wheat flour. WHY DID I USE INSTANT PUDDING IN THE RECIPE? Enjoy Life & Pascha are allergen-friendly chocolate chip brands.Some chocolate chips are also cross contaminated with nuts, so be sure to read labels and/or call the manufacturing companies as your allergies and sensitivities see fit. Just don’t use any nut butters (unless your diet/allergies) are OK with that. To make these chocolate chip cookies nut-free: this was the easiest allergen to avoid.There are many egg replacers, and while I often enjoy the powdered kind, I felt it dried out the dough too much and I needed something thicker and wetter like applesauce. To make these chocolate chip cookies egg-free: I used unsweetened applesauce. ![]() If you are OK eating dairy, I’d still recommend the buttery shortening sticks.I chose shortening, because it has less water than butter, thus helping it spread less, and because you can find shortening with a butter flavor–thus not missing out on that classic buttery taste. You can use palm shortening (has less flavor), if you need a soy-free option (we can do soy), or even your favorite vegan butter.

I wanted it to be one that was flavorful and the texture was soft. If you’ve wondered why in the world I’ve had a blog for over three years without posting a basic chocolate chip cookie, then you don’t understand my reverence for a good chocolate chip cookie.

If they would only remember that they belong to the Lord, the very thought would cause them to shrink from such attire. Sometimes the sisters, especially in the Far East, wear dresses that are really not becoming to a child of the Lord. Whenever you are about to do something, you must remember that you are one of the Lord’s children. I said, “All right, all right, forget it one dollar does not matter.” How could I who am a child of the Lord argue with a rickshaw man? That would put the name of the Lord to shame. Just this remembrance caused me to drop it. I began to quarrel with him, but suddenly, I remembered that I was a child of God. After looking around in his pockets, he eventually said he was sorry, for he had only four dollars with which to refund me. When I arrived at my destination, however, I saw that I had only a ten-dollar bill, so I handed it to him and waited for the change. He told me at first that he would charge five dollars, to which I agreed. One time in the Far East I engaged a rickshaw man for a ride. You will see what will become of your quarrel. Do you think that you can quarrel with someone and at the same time remember that you belong to the Lord? Try it. Do you think that while remembering you are the Lord’s people, you could attend a theater? The very thought will make you shrink from it. If you remember this, you will be kept from many things.

You choose between Standard, Optical Corrections, and No Corrections, with a sample image showing the result of each choice. The software automatically applies the fixes as soon as you load a photo. Compare shows you what your photo looks like without DxO's corrections (regrettably, there's no way to compare two different shots side-by-side, as you can in Lightroom). I like DxO's top button-bar options-one click for full image-size viewing, fit on screen view, full-screen view, and side-by-side comparison views. DxO makes Lightroom round-tripping an option in PhotoLab as well as in PureRAW. That's really all you need, but Adobe's Lightroom Classic offers more flexibility with modes for sharing, printing, maps, and books, as well. The latter is where you do all your editing and tuning. The program interface has two modes: PhotoLibrary and Customize. The dark gray interface of PhotoLab has a clean, subdued look. On first run, you see a welcome panel, called the Hub, that informs you about what's new in the program and points you to help and the online DxO store. Speaking of Adobe's app, at installation, you can choose to install the DxO software as a plug-in for Lightroom Classic (the newer version of Lightroom for nonprofessionals doesn't support plug-ins, so it's only available for Classic). The installer weighs in at 810MB, which isn't outrageous when you consider that Lightroom Classic is about 2GB. PhotoLab is available for up-to-date versions of Windows 10, Windows 11 (64-bit), and macOS 10.15.7 (Catalina) or later. You can see details of what's in each edition on this PhotoLab support page.

Many fast-moving masted clipper ships stilled plied the oceans as commercial merchants, but they, too, became extinct with the invention of steam powered ships. ![]() So profitable was whaling that, despite the unbelievable rigors undergone by the ships’ crews, who might be out sailing for two years at a time, the great animal was nearly wiped out, saved somewhat by the invention of petroleum, which replaced whale oil by the late 19 th century. It was not until the onset of industrial society that anyone knew the myriad uses for which whale oil was a revolutionary lubricant, preservative, lamplighter (better and cheaper than tallow for candles) and soap, even margarine. It is impossible to underrate the critical importance of the whaling industry to Mystic and vice-versa, when the town became wealthy as a shipbuilder.

(There are 40 more shops just north of town called Olde Mistick Village mall, and the gargantuan and grotesque Foxwoods Resort & Casino north of I-95 has a dreary outlet conglomeration.)
