If home improvement and DIY were actual categories for the Nobel Prize, i’d be running out of places to put all my Nobel prizes.
I’d probably have to put in a new shelf. Maybe use some nice cherry planks…
Is it part of the joke (“oversized”) that the comic is way too big for the page, I wonder…
Take your measurements, learn how to use the deform tools i blender, skip the maths, use the measurements blender comes up with.
skip the maths
I’m so millenial this is the only part I understood.
[off topic]
I’m sure that there are plenty of much simpler ways that Cueball could have learned if he’d asked the guys at the hardware store for advice.
Screened in my brother’s porch a few years ago. Had to basically make 5 of these. In theory, they were all gonna be squares. One giant one that’s like 12x7 feet, a smaller one that’s 12x4, a tall one 2x7, et cetera. Not a single one was actually square. It took us days.
I fully support this addition to the novel prize categories
That’s… that’s not what a square is…
Square in carpentry is used a little differently. It includes rectangles, and is more about the corners being 90 degree right angles. In fact, a carpenters square is a tool that is triangle shaped!
Every square is a rectangle but the other way around.
