Box showoff thread

[Matt Jacobs]

Ordered from a Ukrainian artist in December, finished and dropped off for shipping Feb 23. Russian invasion on Feb 24, Ukrainian airspace closed and contested since. Delivered in June.

I don’t know Nova Poshta Global shipping, but damn if they didn’t keep it safe for 4 months, moved it from the airport to a warehouse, kept track of it, remembered months later that it was stashed, and finally got it out of a war zone to my door unscathed.

This box (and the artist) has some stories to tell.

I'm glad this one showed up for you. I have been thinking about one myself, they are gorgeous.

Close, did base specs generally off of a small cck.

I've got two now and absolutely love having them out on the counter on display. Guests all notice them immediately so they between the racks themselves and my knives they're like functional art.

 

[Delat]

Ummm, yeah.... boxes

 

[Delat]

So my wife was all: "Buy yourself a knife for Christmas"

And I'm all, "But but waiting lists"

And she's all, "I don't care just buy something dammit"

Serves me right, PS5 was DOA. Should've gotten a Shihan or something.

I never had any problems. If you turn on the machine it starts with its minimum speed of 0,6 kilometers per hour.
I usually have at least one hand on my desk. So I have a very direct feedback if I am mooving to fast or to slow.

Please note that this treadmill is not meant to raise your heartrate. With this you are walking slowly while working on your PC.
Walking while working is a good alternative to sitting and standing fpór me. The major advantage that I see is that the light movement relaxes my mussels. Also I compensate at least a little for the lost movement that I would otherwise do in the office.

The maximum speed that I am using with this machine is 3,2 kilometers per hour.
Usually I set a speed between one and 2 kilometers per hour.
At this speeds it is still possible to do some programming tasks that don't require extensive planning like tinkering with some CSS.

But.... where's the mandatory box picture?

@M1k3
You are most definitly confused because this was a reply to this post:

How does these handleless mill work? I’m kind afraid id just fall facedown.

Maybe I forgot to quote it, though .

I found another.

PS never decide to remodel a large portion of your house yourself in your free time (what free time?)

[captaincaed]

Oh hell yes

 

[BillHanna]

I need to stay out of this thread for a few months.

 

[captaincaed]

Yaaaas queen

 

[BillHanna]

 

[Dan-]

I was inspired, but this was the closest I could get.

 

[BillHanna]

 

[BillHanna]

I’m not in this thread with you, you’re in this thread with ME.

 

[bahamaroot]

I think @BillHanna has turned this into the "Show Off Your Well Used Toaster Over" thread.

 

[UHguy]

I wasn't really sure what to expect based on the title of this thread, but it certainly wasn't this lol

 

[MarcelNL]

sortof owed this one, my phone decided not to share pictures for a few days...picture does not do justice to the scale, there was about 5m2 of boxes left once the kitchen was installed.
