What animal has entered my workshop?? I'm scared.

[@themegasexybasterd]

I don't understand why u didn't use ur planer to level and smooth ur wood instead of going through the trouble of routering then sanding.

If I knew I would say, I belive a small rodent is correct

I was super into bugs as a kid. I'd say those are beetle tracks. A bigger kind like a stink bug, a June beetle, or since you're in a wood shop, maybe a borer beetle.🪲

[@watrgrl2]

I just looked on your website to see what your wood art pieces were priced at and I was very surprised at what you are charging. I think you should definitely be changing more. These are one of a kind works of art. Because they are made using wood and its natural personality and character, there will never be another piece like it anywhere. You could easily charge so much more for your beautiful one of a kind pieces.

[@marmotaworks]

For now, I think the prices are fair; I'm sure some people find them too high.

I was in school in the 70's and we (the US) were going to switch to metric, but too many complained how hard that would be. So... we didn't. I wish we would have gone over to metric before computers, cell phones, and all that existed in every home.

[@marmotaworks]

Yes, totally agree

[@expatmoose]

As a Brit, I learnt both in school, more feet and inches but even so, now I live in Germany and can’t remember my feet and inches anymore 😂😉 when learning to drive we had miles and km but I found gallons to liters complicated

Awesome work, Its refreshing to hear someone speak instead of music. I offer one tip, get a couple slide clamps in your bench top. You will love them. You can clamp down your sander and many more tools, materials..... Great job. Im gonna try the charcoal method. Your method of kindness is a good one, Lol.

[@marmotaworks]

[@86fifty]

12:50 - what an interesting pattern of footprints! With the smear in between the two sides, it's got to be dragging its belly on the ground, which makes me think "snake" but of course, snakes wouldn't have the legs to make those little pockmarks on either side. So it has pointy-ended legs, belly very low to the ground, and no apparent change in speed... Yeah, the centipede guess is pretty likely. It'll depend on where you live, what's native to your area, etc. This is a STELLAR bit of footprint recording, tho! You'll likely have better luck asking Reddit, I'm sure there's a page for ID'ing animal tracks. Feeling honestly inspired by the McD's drive thru story - make them feel guilty, and grateful, and then cheated, AND shamed, by having to go around AGAIN and wait in line FOR LONGER. It's the perfect 'punishment fits the crime' and you didn't do any crime yourself in the process!

[@marmotaworks]

The truth is that at first, I didn’t worry about the footprints, but now that everyone is telling me about all the animals it could be, I’m terrified.

[@86fifty]

A way you might have been able to save on some of the power carving dust would have been to put your band saw on an angle and cutting away some of the wood instead. Probably save you some dust, at least ❤

[@billwendt9571]

Cool project. BTW a mile is 5,280 feet or 63,360 inches. The USA was considering going metric during the great depression, but then WWII hit and there was no time considering that all machine tools were set up in Imperial measurements. So many tools were made during the war, that no one wanted to change. On a different note, have you ever considered blending gold flake into slightly tinted epoxy?

[@marmotaworks]

I'm not a big fan of gold, but maybe someday I'll do a project using it.

[@therasiler7408]

This would be cool if you used varying types of wood and colors of wood. Also in varied sizes of bubbles. I didnt know juniper was red like that.

On the metric system, the rest of the world should also start using the scandinavian mile. It's 10km. There was a unit for 10km in the metric system, a myriameter, but for some reason it was dropped.

[@marmotaworks]

I think 10km it's easier to say

Here are three traffic safety statistics comparing the UK and the USA: 1. Road Fatalities: The UK had 1,695 road deaths in 2022, while the USA had 42,795 road deaths in the same year. This reflects a significantly higher fatality rate in the USA due to its larger population and higher vehicle miles traveled. 2. Fatality Rate per 100,000 People: In 2022, the UK had a road fatality rate of approximately 2.5 deaths per 100,000 people, whereas the USA had a much higher rate of around 12.9 deaths per 100,000 people. 3. Alcohol-Related Traffic Deaths: In the UK, 13% of road deaths involved alcohol-impaired drivers, compared to 28% in the USA, showing a higher prevalence of alcohol-related crashes in the USA.

[@marmotaworks]

Driving in a country where everyone drives on the same side, whichever it may be, I don't think it's a factor when it comes to accidents. However, it is a problem when someone who drives on the right goes to a country where they drive on the left, or vice versa.

[@adwilliams1987]

America has no public transit. Everyone drives for everything. That's why we have so many wrecks.

[@karl_alan]

Since you're asking for any tips...you can use carpet tape to stick the pieces down to your table while working them, so you don't have to keep moving the clamp & rotating while you carve. That's it though. Beautiful work.

[@marmotaworks]

It could work; maybe I'll give it a try.

[@AngieTheCatGD]

As an Australian, changing which side we drive on would mean that every car would have to swap from the wheel being on the right to the left. Also some people may want to/have to relearn how to drive. Among other things, there may be more I don’t know about like road rules and stuff, I don’t have my license yet. Also it looks so cool! I’d buy it if I could afford it and if I had anywhere to put it.

[@marmotaworks]

Yes, there are surely a million reasons why changing the driving side would be very complicated.

[@AngieTheCatGD]

@ the main thing that I didn’t think of before is that it would also have to happen all at once. Every car, every road, every driver, basically overnight. Also because we don’t have any land neighbours and the closest neighbours in south eat Asia are also on the left, your point of “it’s easier to go internationally” also isn’t too relevant. It definitely is in the UK though, and Suriname and Guyana in South America.

[@ericanderson8556]

I wonder how a table like this would turn out?

[@nicolaluongo4457]

Good morning, thank you for sharing with us the stages of the process of creating your works of art. I also have a passion for wood and have kept some logs in the hope of one day being able to do what you do. At the moment I let them mature so that they lose humidity. However, I was wondering one thing. How do you manage to cut dry wood without having to constantly change or sharpen the chainsaw chain? I'm asking you because when I tried to cut dry wood the chain didn't even last two cuts. Is a particular model of chain necessary?

[@marmotaworks]

You need to use high-quality chains and let the saw move forward on its own without applying pressure. It also depends on the type of wood. This one, for example, was quite soft, and the chains held up well.

[@nicolaluongo4457]

Thank you so much, keep it up💪🏻. I would really like to be able to learn all the techniques and skills to be able to create a painting starting from a log of wood. Have you ever thought about expanding your business with training? I'm sure you would find many kids interested in wanting to learn. I would be the first😁
