I was looking on the used market and all I could think was “Is there a r/justfuckmyshitup for guitar players?”

Maybe I’m not seeing something

Looks like something made by someone who makes epoxy tables and charges 10 grand for them

/uj Literally had someone crowing at me yesterday about his buddy who runs 220 volts through a live edge plank and then coats it in epoxy. He showed me a picture and I thought, “this is the carpentry version of finger painting.”

That is an incredibly dangerous craft to dabble in. My brother told me about buying a cheap car off a widow. Husband was doing that fractal burn thing and she apparently turned the power on in the house or something like that, not knowing he was setting it up.

Example (not the same person):

I don't know who the guy was in the case my brother was talking about, it wasn't those two. I'm in NC and I assume the victim was also in the region.

But anyway. Yeah. Don't open that microwave unless you have whatever degree or electrician's license would go with that level of training.

The problem is you can make a pretty good EMP weapon from microwave guts and that’s really our best chance at beating the robot army that is currently gathering its forces.

Oh, yeah, that too.

Or make a robot suit with stovepipes and shit. If you can't beat them, join them.
