#on carpentry or woodworking or electrical

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

most people assume my dream is to go into research in the sciences, which is mostly true and is genuinely a big interest of mine (i wouldn't have gone into the sciences for my education if not), but real ones know that my secret dream job is to work as a barista at a small, sleepy café where i can make nice stuff for the customers and there's enough of a lull during my shift that i have time to pen a story or six

...either that or blacksmithing. i wanna make swords.

Cipher from fogposting here, I have been thinking about the reader living in the slasher / dbd killer house idea!

And what I would be interested in is how chores would be distributed 😂 who does what? Do they let Bubba cook?

(not sure if this counts as request, but feel free to ignore it if you don't want to write anything about this!)

Horror House

Since there is a big group of them that live together, the slashers have a humongous house so it’s right that everyone has to pitch in (at Norman’s demand).

Jason handles the house’s exterior maintenance, ensuring the walls and gates are secure, and also takes care of the yard work. He’s actually really good at gardening if you mean by growing a never-ending supply of deadly traps and pitfalls.

Michael is in charge of plumbing, but his fixes often lead to eerie, dripping sounds, and he also handles the house’s lighting, but only installs dim, flickering bulbs that cast ominous shadows (he purposely does that to scare the shit out of Danny, Billy, and Stu). His cooking skills are limited to boiling water, but he insists on making everyone eat his infamous Michael’s Mac ‘n Cheese of Doom. 

Freddy manages the house’s electrical system, but loves to play tricks with the lighting to try and scare the others (it doesn’t work). He also helps with running the house’s music and entertainment with his razor-sharp glove-uitar (Freddy named it that). It’s just him running his glove blades over the strings of an actual guitar and it doesn’t sound that great.

Bubba cooks meals for everyone alongside Hannibal and it’s some of the most fine homemade cooking you will ever taste. He also helps Norman with the house’s cleaning. He is actually very good at doing laundry. He makes sure each piece of clothing is neatly folded and put in the right person’s pile.

Nubbins assists Bubba in the kitchen, but mostly makes ruckus and gets in the way. He does actual gardening, but is not very good at it. The plants usually die within 3-4 days and maybe a week if he’s lucky.  

ChopTop does a lot of carpentry and woodworking, but his creations end up looking sinister and unuseful. He ends up antagonizing Bubba With his creations by chasing him and waving them around in his face. He also helps Drayton with finances, but only embezzles funds to make more of those twisted projects of his.

Drayton oversees the house’s finances and handles the house’s decorating using human skulls and bones (Norman and Hannibal had to take them down because it was making some of the other residents sick to their stomachs and relieved Drayton from decorating duty). He tries to help out with gardening, but it always ends with him chasing Nubbins around with a broom, leaving the garden unattended for hours (maybe that’s why the plants die so fast). 

Thomas takes care of the house’s leatherwork and upholstery, but uses human skin, and also handles the house’s security, but only installs traps and alarms that have led to endangering some of the residents. He’s actually a pretty good cook, but prefers to let Bubba and Hannibal do the cooking so he can keep his eye out for danger. 

Bo manages any machine or car maintenance. Since the slashers have to use reusable stuff, Bo is there to make sure that everything is intact and working. He tends to be out in the huge garage-like barn in the back of the house for hours, with Amanda, always fixing something.

Vincent oversees the house’s art and decor with the help of Brahms. He’ll spend hours down in the basement (his art studio) creating pieces to hang up around the house. He also handles the music being played around the house with his radio. He finds Freddy’s attempt at making music annoying. He’ll help out with the laundry sometimes too. He treats laundry like he treats his artwork.

Lester doesn’t stick around the house; he’s out of the house early to attend his roadkill pile. However, whenever he is home, Lester will assist Norman with taxidermy and chores. He’s only tried helping cook dinner once and almost burnt the whole house down. Let’s just say he was never let back into the kitchen again.

Norman takes care of a lot of the house’s cleaning and keeps the house pretty tidy for an extremely worn down house. In his free time, he does a lot of taxidermy to put up for display around the house to give it more personality. He can cook, but no one likes house cleaning so that takes up a lot of his time. 

Hannibal is the main chief of the house. He prepares exquisite, gourmet meals. He’ll prepare separate meals for anyone who is no in favor for his special ingredient, *cough* human *cough*. He also runs therapy sessions for anyone who needs it. He’s a great listener and gives great advice. He also helps with gardening every once and awhile if he’s not busy with other things. Nubbins is trying to find Hannibal’s secret to growing a successful garden because his plants last for years. 

Amanda spends her time designing and building traps for pests and rodents that are crawling around in the house. She’ll help Bo out with his projects if he gets stuck on something because she gets tired of hearing him groan and complain. Listen, the girl needs her concentration okay? 

Billy Loomis refuses to do almost anything that requires him to be responsible: Norman was lucky enough to even get him to clean his room. However, he does like to pull pranks on the other slashers and make mischief. He may or may not have gotten his throat slit open by Michael once for it though…

Stu works with the technology and gadgets of the house. However, he only uses them to play pranks on the other residents of the house and nothing really useful. Hannibal and Norman had to provoke his technology privileges quite a few times because the others were complaining. 

Chucky only exists to insult and annoy the hell out of everyone. What is he gonna do? He’s literally a doll. Actually, he does help with organizing stuff. If he sees something misplaced or moved, he’ll put it back into its original spot. He also helps his wife Tiffany out with her fashion work. 

Tiffany handles a lot of the house’s fashion and style. She designs and creates outfits for everyone so no one has to go clothes shopping. She is also another one who is a really good cook and helps out sometimes. Her specialty is baked goods and always makes the best desserts for after dinner.

Brahms helps with decorating. He’s very picky with how the house is decorated and wants the house to be decorated with only the finest things. Most of the stuff he hangs up is Vincent’s art pieces that range from canvas art to sculptures.

Billy Lenz looks after the ‘household’ cat (it’s actually his cat) Claude. He feeds,waters, grooms, and plays with the cat. He makes sure that no one has to think twice about taking care of Claude. He likes to keep Claude with him at all times because Michael tried to kill and eat him a few times.

Pyramid Head is the guard dog of the house. He makes sure the younger slashers aren’t getting too out of hand and staying out of trouble. The slashers are really trying not to draw too much attention to themselves.

Carrie helps out with chores and does most of the laundry. She uses her powers to make the clothes spontaneously combust and move things around to dust the spaces underneath objects. 

Jennifer takes care of the house’s beauty and makeup. She critiques the other slashers on their work ethic and tightness around the house (It’s much appreciated by Norman). She’ll make sure that everything is put in its proper place and looks presentable. She does Bubba and Carrie’s makeup a lot and is your go to girl for when prom rolls around. 

Danny surprisingly is a very efficient cleaner and will get random bursts of energy that has him deep cleaning the entire house. He will disinfect the entire house in an hour and a half, insisting that Norman takes a break for the day since that’s literally all he does everyday 24/7 3/65. He also cares for the firearms and weaponry.

You seem to have a fascinating array of different skills. If you don't mind me asking, how did you learn to build so many different things? I couldn't even begin to figure out what skills I'd need to learn as a prerequisite to building an aviary or a wizard tower, but damn if I don't want to know now.

A lot of it is just trial and error, and research, and just going 'fuckit I'm gonna give it a go.'

I do have surprisingly broadly trained formal skill set--stage carpentry, electrical work, audio and lighting and rigging from my tech days, odd bits of floral arrangement and staging from event planning, woodworking and sculpting and painting and bookmaking and textiles and printing from my art school days, and all the various and sundry that go into BFA in graphic design, since I double majored. And law school significantly bolstered my research and analysis skills, which is handy in odd ways.

But mostly--I find whatever reference materials I can, and ask someone who has expertise if I'm able, and I just try things. Often I make mistakes. Rarely do I make mistakes that I cannot recover from, and every time I learn something important from it.

The wizard tower was going to be built around a spiral staircase, and I was going to have to learn how to pour concrete slabs in order to make it work. But alas...

[that-stone-butch]

How'd you even get into . Electricity (that's not the fucming word but idk) like what made u wanna do that.? all I hear abt now is how there aren't enough of like handyman type plumbers, electricians, mechanics etc

i always loved to tinker and work with my hands when i was a kid, but i told myself i'd do something in the medical field when i grew up. the academics weren't tenable (and medicine in the U.S. is so fucked that it's nearly beyond reform, and was soul crushing for me to participate in, no matter how firmly my heart was 'in the right place')

for a big chunk of my life, i had this sort of imposter syndrome about whether or not i actually belonged in the kind of work i liked to do (carpentry, electrical work, small motors/low voltage, etc.) but in my mid twenties i just decided to hell with it! and got into a trade school program for electrical work. and it was love at first (professional) sight!

my advice is that if you're curious about something like electrical work, is to find a way to give it a try. dip your toes in; ask to shadow a friend, or reach out to a union/school training program for a tour or to audit a class or something. hell, they often have community courses for like, intro to woodworking or understanding circuits and whatnot. give it a try, and if it's not for you, at the very least you understand it a little better and that shit is priceless.

I feel like DDMG Splinter would have a lot of hobbies.

Like there's gardening and the Lair ends up having chickens, so he looks after them during the day.

He knows how to make weapons, so smithing is another hobby. The Lair has so, so many weapons. Some of the equipment he uses is stuff the members of the parents group got him, others were offerings from supernatural beings wanting to enter his territory. Imagine Splinter's surprise when he went outside one day to find several yokai dropping off an anvil.

(Those yokai were given some honey and milk as a thank you.)

He also gets into knitting and crotchet - Socorro taught him and Raph how to do it, so sometimes those three will sit down in her living room and work on projects.

Splinter also still remembers how to sew, so teaches himself how to embroider.

Wood working and carpentry is another thing he decides to take up. The deer will also drop stuff off at the house sometimes, and after he broke his leg it carried a branch to the house and then screamed to get Splinter's attention.

(This is a really nice gesture. Splinter still wishes the deer could have done it when he wasn't napping within view of the window.)

That branch ended up becoming his cane.

The deer did something similar when he was figuring out how to make the turtle's their weapons. Making Donnie's bo staff may have been what got him into woodworking in the first place.

He just has a lot of free time, so tries to fill it with as much stuff as possible. He always has at least 6 half-finished projects on the go, and the second he finishes one he comes up with another. He likes to always have something to work on, because if he doesn't then he starts thinking about stuff he doesn't want to.

In fixing up the Lair, he and Donnie figure out plumbing. Although Splinter wouldn't call that a hobby, more something he has to do sometimes to keep the house in working order. If one of the other parents say their sink is acting up though, he's happy to offer to help.

He has technically done some electrical work on the house too, in that he did the thing whilst Don and Casey told him what to do, because Splinter isn't going to die if he messes up and gets electrocuted.

How To Save Your Money In Custom Carpentry Singapore

Custom carpentry is an essential element of a well-designed home in Singapore. It creates the much-needed storage spaces and beautifies your living space with the classic allure of timber. However, when putting money into such custom woodwork, it is essential to ensure that you pay for value, especially when you do not have details of the trade. The article will be useful in understanding ways of saving money while ensuring quality in custom carpentry Singapore for your home.

1. Understand the Materials Used

Simply understand what materials go into your custom carpentry. In Singapore, built-in furniture is typically made from plywood because it is cost-effective and robust. But certainly not all plywoods are made alike. Mainly, the differing prevalent characteristic of plywood is its general ability to resist wear and tear, especially from heat and moisture, factors that determine its grade.

For example, generally, marine plywood is considered best for making bathroom cabinets as it has more strength and resistance to moisture. This type of plywood is manifold, with waterproof glue bonding the layers together; thus, it is quite suitable for use in areas with common high humidity. The use of good quality materials, such as marine plywood in moisture-prone areas, ensures increasing the longevity of your carpentry, thus saving you on maintenance and replacement costs in the long run.

Also, take note of such fine details as the quality of the joinery as well as other components like the hinges and sliders. Some of the best brands include Hafele and Blum because their mechanisms operate smoothly and are long-lasting. High-quality components guarantee that the repairs are not made in the future at a high acceptable cost.

2. Consider the Impact of Finishes and Detailing

The type of materials used during custom carpentry work will highly affect the cost. It is not only the finishes and detailing; the finishes could be in the form of laminates or PVC layers for that superb look of a cabinet and drawers. However, the quality and type of finishing material may alter the general costing.

For example, special features in laminates like anti-fingerprint and functional properties like high resistivity to scratches or making it anti-fingerprint, all tend to make it more expensive. Type: The PVC layers which are unique in colour and texture can also increase the cost. To save on expenditure, it might be worthwhile to opt for a standard and hence, cost-effective finish that is durable and presents a good clean look, instead of spending excessively on all the available premium, higher-priced finishes of the same type.

On top of that, custom carpentry detailing, which may be intricate and time-consuming, such as chevron or herringbone patterns or the installation of a myriad of mirrors and glass panels, can set your budget way up. If you are working on a tight budget, then consider simpler designs, such as those previously mentioned, which would still prove quite aesthetic but without the added cost.

3. Plan for Efficient Project Timelines

Time is money, and nowhere is this truer than with custom carpentry. Understanding a project's gestation period helps reduce hiccups in time, delays, and potential overruns in cost. As for a full renovation period of a flat, from ordering to an installed state with everything customised, from the living room to the kitchen, approximately three weeks is considered adequate.

The fabrication stage, where the body of the carpentry (known as the carcass) is built, usually takes about 10 days once the final design is approved. After fabrication, the carcass is laminated and finished with ABS trimming, a process that takes a few more days. Installation begins once all components are delivered to the site and can take additional time, especially in areas like the kitchen where coordination with plumbing and electrical work is required.

By understanding and planning for these timelines, you can avoid costly delays and ensure that your renovation project stays on track.

4. Weigh the Pros and Cons of Customised Furniture vs. Built-Ins

In making a choice between customised furniture and built-in carpentry, one has to be clear of the wood type and how it fits into the long-term plan. Mostly teak, sungkai, and oak—which are hardwoods with much reputation are used in making customised furniture, since they are known to remain sturdy over time and resist damage due to humidity and termites. Although these hardwoods are costly, you will get value for your money if you plan to keep the furniture for many years to come.

Teak, for instance, is a popular choice for customised furniture in Singapore due to its high oil content, which prevents rot. Oak, on the other hand, is versatile and can be easily stained to match your desired colour scheme. However, if you’re planning to move in a few years or don’t intend to take your customised furniture with you, it might be more cost-effective to invest in less expensive options.

5. Be Mindful of Your Long-Term Needs

Literally, you should do this before committing to custom carpentry or furniture. In fact, you should ask how long you are likely to be staying in your present home. If you will be moving in a couple of years, you do not need to spend money on expensive custom built-ins or top-of-the-range furniture. You should instead use less expensive alternatives that will serve the purpose in the short run.

Investing in custom carpentry services is, therefore, a rationale if one is planning to stay in the house for a long period. This will mean increased functionality within your house and an ability to flesh out a living space that is a statement of your style.

Key Tips to Save Money:

Choose the Right Materials: Opt for quality plywood like marine plywood in moisture-prone areas for longevity.

Opt for Standard Finishes: Save by selecting durable, standard finishes over premium options with special features.

Simplify Designs: Avoid intricate detailing if on a budget; simpler designs can be just as effective.

Plan Your Project Timeline: Understand the fabrication and installation process to avoid delays and extra costs.

Consider Long-Term Use: Invest wisely based on how long you plan to stay in your current home.

Conclusion

Custom carpentry Singapore is an investment in the functionality and aesthetics of your home. By understanding the materials used, being mindful of finishes and detailing, planning for efficient project timelines, weighing the pros and cons of customised furniture, and considering your long-term needs, you get to save money but still not experience a reduction in quality. Whether it is a reformation of a room or the furnishing of an entire flat, these holistic tips are set to guide you with the best-attached benefit for your pockets.

Carpentry Services in Singapore: Trends and Innovations in 2024

Carpentry services Singapore have undergone a significant transformation over the years, driven by advancements in technology, evolving design preferences, and a growing demand for sustainable solutions. As we step into 2024, the carpentry industry is poised to offer innovative and trendsetting services that cater to both residential and commercial spaces. This blog will explore the latest trends and innovations shaping carpentry services in Singapore.

1. Sustainable Carpentry Solutions

Sustainability continues to be a major trend in 2024, with eco-friendly practices being prioritized across various industries, including carpentry. The use of reclaimed wood, bamboo, and other sustainable materials has become increasingly popular in carpentry services in Singapore. Clients are now more inclined to choose materials that have a lower environmental impact, contributing to the global effort to reduce carbon footprints.

In addition to using sustainable materials, carpenters in Singapore are adopting energy-efficient manufacturing processes. This includes minimizing waste during production and ensuring that the finished products are durable, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

2. Smart Carpentry

The integration of technology into carpentry is one of the most exciting innovations in 2024. Smart carpentry involves the use of advanced tools and techniques that enhance precision, efficiency, and customization. For instance, CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines allow carpenters to create intricate designs with high precision, enabling the production of bespoke furniture and fittings that perfectly match clients' specifications.

Moreover, the advent of smart home technology has led to the development of carpentry solutions that are integrated with home automation systems. From built-in cabinets with concealed charging stations to furniture that can be controlled via smartphone apps, smart carpentry is redefining the way we interact with our living spaces.

3. Customizable Modular Carpentry

Modular carpentry has gained immense popularity in Singapore, especially in urban settings where space is limited. In 2024, the trend has evolved to offer even more customizable options. Homeowners can now choose from a wide range of modular designs that can be easily assembled, disassembled, and reconfigured to suit their changing needs.

This trend is particularly appealing to those living in HDB flats and condominiums, where space optimization is crucial. Modular carpentry allows for the creation of multifunctional spaces, such as a dining area that can be transformed into a home office with minimal effort.

4. Artisanal Craftsmanship

While technology has introduced many innovations in carpentry, there is still a strong demand for artisanal craftsmanship.

Strategies for Energy Conservation with the Use of Electric Carpentry Tools

The transition from traditional manual tools to electric carpentry tools has changed the industry, offering increased efficiency, precision, and speed. However, with this advancement comes the responsibility of energy conservation. This article delves into various strategies that can be employed to ensure the efficient use of electric carpentry tools, thereby reducing energy consumption and promoting sustainability.

One and foremost, understanding the power requirements of different electric carpentry tools is crucial. Each tool, from circular saws to routers and drills, has a specific power rating that determines its energy consumption. By selecting the right tool for the task at hand, one can avoid using tools with higher power ratings than necessary, thus conserving energy.

Another key aspect of energy conservation with electric carpentry tools is proper maintenance. Regularly servicing and cleaning these tools ensures they operate at good efficiency, reducing the energy required for their operation. For instance, keeping saw blades sharp reduces the power needed to cut through materials, while lubricating moving parts prevents friction, which can generate heat and waste energy.

The use of energy-efficient electric carpentry tools is also a significant step towards energy conservation. Many modern tools are designed with energy-saving features, such as variable speed controls and energy-saving modes. These features allow users to adjust the power output according to the task, ensuring that only the necessary amount of energy is consumed.

Moreover, the way electric carpentry tools are used can greatly impact energy consumption. Practicing efficient work methods, such as accurate measurement and planning before cutting or drilling, can reduce the amount of time tools are in use. This not only conserves energy but also reduces material waste.

Additionally, the environment in which electric carpentry tools are used can influence their energy efficiency. Working in well-lit areas reduces the need for additional lighting while ensuring that the workspace is free from drafts can prevent tools from working harder than necessary to maintain their performance.

The management of power sources is another critical factor. Using tools that are compatible with renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, can significantly reduce the carbon footprint associated with their use. Furthermore, unplugging tools when they are not in use prevents them from drawing standby power, which can accumulate over time.

Battery-powered electric carpentry tools offer another avenue for energy conservation. By choosing tools with high-capacity, rechargeable batteries, users can decrease the need for frequent recharging, reducing overall energy consumption. Moreover, proper battery maintenance, such as charging to the correct voltage and storing batteries in suitable conditions, can prolong their life and efficiency.

The use of smart technology in electric carpentry tools can also contribute to energy savings. Some advanced tools come equipped with sensors and microprocessors that monitor and adjust the tool's performance in real time, ensuring that it operates at the most energy-efficient level possible.

Lastly, education and awareness play a vital role in conserving energy with electric carpentry tools. Users should be informed about the energy consumption of their tools and practices for their use. This knowledge can cause more conscious decisions when selecting and using these tools, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable woodworking and carpentry industry.

In conclusion, the conservation of energy with electric carpentry tools is a multifaceted endeavor that involves careful selection, proper maintenance, efficient use, and an awareness of the environmental impact of these tools. By implementing the strategies outlined in this article, users can ensure that their work is not only productive and precise but also mindful of the precious energy resources that power these indispensable tools.
