Doing another hand-made cutting board giveaway.. 4
#23476663 - 07/25/16 07:32 PM (7 years, 6 months ago) |

Loph showed some extreme shroominess the other day and it inspired me to do this again. (he gave Dead tix to Sancho)
Here is the last one i did a couple months ago
Dark_Star won that one.
In that one, I had members nominate someone they felt was doing good things here and I chose the winner that way.
I am now looking for ideas on what to do this time around. Looking for something fun and with good vibes, not just pick a # 1-99 and whoever picks it wins.
So, how can I do the next one to spread some extra around this place as I do the giveaway?
Serious suggestions only, please.
Thanks.

In the last one, Ythan gave a free one year supporter account to the person who nominated the winner... Which happened to be Burke then. Such a good dude... We're all so lucky to be a part of this awesome community and have such a rad dude at the helm of the S.S. Shroomery 
Or......... Should I just do the same idea as last time?

Nominations based on posts of people helping their local community out in some way? Giving to the needy, cleaning up the community, being proactive in some way? All I got. Not sure how many people that would really be or who would remember their good deeds though.
EDIT: Maybe nominations based on people who have had it rough lately and need some faith in humanity restored?

That'd require someone knowing them irl to verify their good deeds within their community.. Or else just take their word for it.
But the down on the luck idea isn't too bad, though.

Or maybe this... Technically it'd be a $5 entry fee, but have people gift a supporter account to another member. Every account purchased equals 1 entry... Then I could draw a name out of a hat 
That'd help the site, be shroomy giving away supporter accounts, and just good all around..
That sound like a good idea? Or does having "an entry fee" go against this?

Although, I bet Ythan and Mind Media Inc would love the current suggestion

How about to enter you have to buy at least a one month supporter account and then those people get assigned a number and then you pick a winner?

The supporter account thing sounds good to me. I would do that to try and win a cutting board.
I was thinking a drawing contest might be fun. Like draw a shroomerite or t-shirt design. The only thing is that not a lot of people do art.
A talent contest would be cool, but that is really complicated to do online

That'd be funny seeing it stall on 419.. Rules being that you can't post 2 in a row...
But 420 is way too high

Yeah, but like you said, some people just can't draw well, so that's an immediate DSQ for a lot of people (including myself). I want this to be equal for all. Whether I know them or not, whether I like them or not, etc

And sorry, Dark_Star... You can't enter this one. 
Even though I know you wouldn't want to so that someone else could win, I think that'd be fair  Although you do deserve all the nice things that happen to/for you.

An art (not just drawing) contest would be pretty fun.
Or maybe an art/writing contest of some kind.

I think the way you did the last giveaway was great, but I understand wanting to switch it up.. Going off that, you could start or pick a thread where people are posting Shroomy things people have done? Something like a thread on the biggest act of kindness we've seen here. Of course, Loph would have a lead from the get-go Not that I think that's a bad thing, he earned it.

Or perhaps I'll just make one and hold on to it until I see a super shroomy act, like Loph's the other day for example... So that way nobody knows when or who, but it may encourage some more random shroominess. 
Or the supporter idea..

I had to make it US only last time because international shipping is so fucking expensive.
I made the mistake of charging a Canadian $10 for shipping once, ended up being $47 
When the time comes, if a Canadian or whomever wanted to enter, I'd have to ask that they pay the shipping on the item... I hate to do that, but it is what it is.
I've been pretty broke lately, but have been making some boards here and there for people, so I have some extra pieces/scraps laying around that I can use to make this one. I find that when you give, oftentimes you receive a lot more back, so I figured it couldn't hurt to do another giveaway and hope the good karma will come back around.... And even if not, this won't cost me all that much, since I likely don't have to cut in to any new wood to make it.

They range anywhere from 50 to 450 (the ones I sold for $400, $425, and $450 were all outliers in the scheme of what I make).... And some I sell for $35
$75-85 tends to be the most common number that pops in to my PayPal account.. And I usually include shipping in to the cost)

I know it's kind of a stupid thing.. Like yay! a kitchen utensil! Wooohooo! But fuck it.. It's what I do 
I know you're (or anybody is) not fucking around or teasing or anything, but the whole notion that I'm giving away a kitchen utensil and how weird that may sound isn't lost on me.

That's because you're labeling it as a kitchen utensil and not as the art it truly is. I know how much work goes into something like that. A lot of people may just see a square of wood and not think much of it, but not me. One of the first things that I ever really made was a cutting board in shop class and it took me weeks (maybe a couple of months, long time ago) to do since I only got to work on it a couple of hours every week.
I went and bought some wood from a local hardwood dealer few days ago and have been drawing up all kinds of designs for cutting boards I want to do. I've got walnut, mahogany, red oak (I made from logs myself), ash (same as oak), poplar (was pretty cheap) and cherry. Their prices aren't too bad and the have a whole rack of shorts that are half off what they usually cost with some pretty good pieces. Perfect for small stuff like cutting boards and what not.
Btw since I mentioned buying wood, I still might claim that favor at some point but I can't get any kind of idea on shipping until I'm ready to do it because I'll need to call around for quotes and stuff. The places that could possibly do it cheap enough to be worth it, don't do quotes through a website or anything. Since I haven't had the funds I haven't gotten around to it.

I have a few orders that I need to take care of 1st, obviously, but once those are done then I'll do this.
I think I'm gonna do the supporter account thing, one entry for every member you hook up, and then also do it so if you make a donation to charity every $10 you donate will equal 1 chance or something like that. The Nature Conservancy, World Wildlife Fund, Children's Cancer non profits, under privileged youth, Wikipedia, Erowid, shit like that. Just take a screen shot of the confirmation email or something... Idk.. I welcome more ideas, especially ones that don't involve money, since not everyone has money to donate and shit.

Why not?
You'd have just as much a shot as anybody...
Only shipping, you'd have to cover that since you're over in the land of wine for dinner for 12 year old and I don't get outraged seeing a woman breastfeed in public Land ... And probably go the route of non profit donation or something.. Idk, man...

And I was thinking for the drawing, have my girl record me, showing all the names on slips of paper and pulling the winner out of a hat and then upload it to YouTube... So that would kind of serve like a "fair" drawing... (even though I could fake it if I really wanted to, but I, of course, won't)
Or figure out a way to live stream from my phone. Idk. Not too concerned about that at this moment in time.

I don't think you've gotta go to all that trouble with the drawing. You're an honest guy, we know that. No one thinks you're going to get embroiled in a cutting board conspiracy. And if someone does think that, they'll just provide lulz for us sane folk.

How about a shroomiest quote contest... 
I dig the supporter account / charity idea but I agree not everyone will have or feel comfortable sparing 5-10$ to enter, then again if you have internet and the free time to browse a forum like this I would hope you can spare 5$ So do whatever sounds the best to you Shlong, it would be cool to see people motivated to donate to charity becouse of an awesome giveaway like this

I'll probably use one of these for the giveaway. It's pretty similar to the one from the other contest, but that's because walnut and maple are two of the best woods to use for then. This type is very straight forward and common of the standard ones I make. Nothing too fancy, but they work well.
But, as for now, the other is up for grabs... If you need a gift for someone or whatever, give me a holler... I may make a totally different one for the contest so it's not as similar as Dark_Star's, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

Hey shLong have you ever thought about doing 8-bit work for cutting boards. Like Mario for example? If you are, I've been working on a tek to dye wood easily that would be food safe. I haven't gotten around to testing it full scale just yet. I did some sample peices and was able to dye the wood but it only existed at the surface and would probably wear away fairly quickly with any use. However if you can get it to dye throughout the entire piece of wood, that wouldn't be an issue.
Just a thought, I know the woodworkers mind and you're always looking for new things you can do.
I'm more into geometric patterns and stuff though I may try my hand at what I mentioned above too.

I've contemplated making some after seeing a few Marios and such... The thing is, the way I do these, it would be a pain in the ass to make. (which is why I started making the Mario mushroom inlay boards)
A lot of people think that you take individual blocks of wood and glue em together (I know you know how they're made, though)... But that's not how it's done... So in essence, it'd be just as easy to make 6 of those as it would be to make 1...
Id have to sit and plot out all the pieces and then make the initial blanks (which would probably be like 15-25, depending on how many rows are used).
It'd just be a huge task that I don't have the time for at the moment. I'd like to do it, though.

Yeah I know it'd be a little (or lot more likely) more work than what you're currently doing. If I did them I would be doing it pixel by pixel because I honestly don't know what I'd do with 6+ of them I'd really only be interested in doing them if I can work out the food safe dye tek so I could make them true to their color schemes. I kinda already know how to do it I just gotta get the time to play around with it and perfect it. I know it will involve pressure cooking and I also have 2 different colorants in mind. One is just basic food coloring and the other would be using foods for the coloring (like annatto or beets for reds/oranges etc).

How would you be able to do it pixel by pixel you think?
I also fucked around with trying to dye wood.. With no success at all.
I'd definitely like to figure that out, so if you ever come up with a tek, holler!

Just cut square blocks and glue them side by side. It would be a pain in the ass as you said. The upside is the 8 bit image is very basic with usually just a few colors so you could just cut a bunch of say 1 1/4 x 1 1/4 x 1 inch cubes of 3 different colors, glue the blocks row by row. The 1 inch width would be the sides you glued together. You could then cut off ~ 1/8 from the 4 faces giving you a very clean edge 1x1x1 row. Once you get all the rows done you could then just put them in order and glue all those up.
If you made some kind of jig to keep the blocks perfectly aligned you could probably skip the last bits of that step and just glue up a bunch of 1x1x1 blocks row by row instead but I'd feel kinda iffy on that. Just slightly off here and there adds up so they would have to perfectly aligned and that is probably a lot easier said than done.
If I've learned anything in woodworking, it's that the easy way is never the easy way.
Oh and yeah I'll definitely let you know if I figure it out. My first attempts were failures with the dye only penetrating about 1/16 into the wood and the coloring for the lighter colors was very weak, almost imperceptible. I'm looking for a way to make deep color all the way through the wood.

I don't see how you'd be able to clamp and glue little blocks like that.. But, maybe there's a way... I only know the way that I do it. Whether that's best or not, I have no idea. But if you could clamp and glue those, that'd make the 8 bit project a lot more straightforward, that's for sure.

You could, it just wouldn't be/isn't an easy thing to do. I've glued multiple scraps together to make sheets to do non-structural stuff with (like the bottom of my wife's jewelry box). It's a pain in the ass trying to get everything to line up, which is why I would cut them slightly larger on the faces so you could trim away the excess and the crooked lines. If you used maybe a couple pieces of angle iron bolted into a frame that is exactly one inch all the way down, you could lay the blocks in that and use a long pipe clamp to compress it all together. Still it's not as straight forward as it would seem, first you'd need to compress it all together good along the length, then back the clamp off some, and use more clamps to clamp the pipe down the length onto the "tops" of the blocks as a straight edge, because all the blocks are going to bow a bit (with the "ends" slightly higher than the middle) when you clamp it down. You have to restrict the movement in two axes and have it all move on only one axis (the one parallel to the travel of the clamp).
That's the issue with clamping a bunch of small pieces together, is keeping everything lined up right. When you glue a bunch of lengths of longer boards together it's not such a problem because you can put clamps down the length to cancel out the tendency of the clamps to "pull" the wood into a bowed shape.

I think you would need to have a finished light grain cutting board. Then CNC router out the individual squares for pixels. Maybe go around 3/8" deep.
inlay with precut squares of dark or different colored wood to create the pixelated pattern. Then you just have to glue in the squares.
