It's a nice piece and a fair asking price. Design, make and cost a 2-3 seater bench and a single seater to compliment the table. Benches and seats are multi functional and can be used as side tables/storage (I have 3 benches around the house with the primary function of book/magazine storage...

I hear you bud, been there done that and I know exactly where you are coming from (preaching to the choir)... If you are sticking with custom you should set things up with your suppliers and get their price lists regularly - ideally they should send it to you every 2 weeks or whenever there are...

Don't over commit your time on quotes... point 1 post #180 of this thread. I KNOW it feels completely counter intuitive, but you are only hurting yourself by sinking too much time and effort in quotes/design, it's your time down the drain for no payment. You should have a fairly good ballpark...

I have been using a password manager in conjunction with 2FA for a long time now. Initially, it takes some getting used to, but now it is second nature for all my accounts. I genuinely only know one password, and that is my master password, which I change three or four times a year. When I do...

So, you want a legal streaming service, that's plug and play, no-ads with a polished UI costing less than a full premium DSTV sub? Sorry bud, does not exist. You are going to have to compromise an item or two on that list if you want to get anywhere...

I have given the following advice to a few people in the past (some of them used it others not. The ones that followed it thank me every time I chat with them). 1. Ballpark Estimate Start of with a ballpark estimate, like your previous post. This is a minute phone call or an email. As you gain...

I did custom woodwork for many years (my path has changed direction over the last 4 years and I now just dot it for the love of the craft). I just wanted to let you know that I agree with this post 1000%. There is an unrealistic expectation out there that just because there is one person making...

Yellowwood haven't been used in yonks as sleepers (early railway lines in SA it was, but I think chances of finding steady supply of yellowwood in sleeper form today are slim). If your supplier indeed has good Yellowwood sleepers please let me know as I love Yellowwood. A Kiaat ("African Teak")...

I'll stand in line if sale falls through.

Thanks - data loaded and all is well.

just signed up - waiting for the activation. Thanks.

Keepass and Authy have rendundancy built in (and Big Brother does not type anything for you - as a matter of fact they are offline), sure it requires a bit of due diligence on the users part. The possible horrors that can be inflicted when any of your accounts get compromised should scare you...

2FA is not a bad habit to get into... just saying. Scared the crap out of my colleagues when I showed them how easy I can log into their personal accounts from their work stations (granted they were daft and never cleared their browsers and browser passwords), but 2FA would have stopped me...

Proton FTW - Love it. I have paid sub with them. I combined it with SimpleLogin and and a couple of personal domains. It takes care of ALL my email needs and I if needed, I can send of mails that are virtually untraceable back to me... which is cool (for those days that I want to go full...

To answer original OP's original question, yes my 200 was upped to 500 a few weeks ago.

do NOT share your supplier details. Finding reliable honest and well-priced suppliers should be your most valuable trade secret.

TLDR; Never work for free or pay your "potential customer" for work - your time is worth money. Simple flat rate for basic quotes (i.e. items you have designed and built before) - R250-R350. Quotes for custom pieces R750 minimum and depending on how complex the design/costing is up to...

Alu tape! Now why did I not think of this? I'll make my own later this week. Thanks for the links.

I need to replace the CMOS battery on a Thinkpad T460 (It's a standard CR2032 battery but with the 2 pin connector and shrink seal) - and I cannot seem to find online stores that supply this. I am happy to remove the old cable and connectors from my current unit and jury-rig the replacement...

Hi, I've been afk for a while. Just noticed that ads are still being served regardless of VIP status. Is the issue from Dec still persistent? TIA

Thanks for calling this out... I felt exactly the same when I read the post, but did not have the energy to "get involved".

Wilco thanks for the feedback.

I've upgraded to VIP yesterday. Ads disappeared for a while after upgrading, but they are back again - can someone please investigate. Thanks in advance.

This is a fantastic mouse Carbies. What better excuse to pick up some nice kit AND helping out an important member of our tribe.

Closing thread.

Final bump. I'll keep the unit if not sold by the end of the day today.

Great PIF! Jeez if our family didn't already have one each, I'd be over this like white on rice!

If you do get clients insisting on wood - hit me up, I'll help you out in that department. Not that I can get the raw lumber for much less than anyone else but I'm able to laminate/flatten/finish your tops. I'll be helluva lot cheaper than what the normal guys charge for that kind of work - so...

Don't make em like they used to... The commercially available benches are an absolute joke these days (and stupid expensive). Best option is to make your own.
