    Plastic wedge “repair”

    I have hardheads, but don't have enough experience with them to give a yea, or nay. They definitely feel like you're holding something when you pick them up.

    Plastic wedge “repair”

    I'm just anti plastic. Especially when a high quality, beautiful, renewable, and many times free resource is readily available. Plastic is valuable, but it's overused and has become a scourge. I'm not even that old, and I remember when most things were not plastic. Life was pretty good. The sun...

    Plastic wedge “repair”

    I thought of it. I was at the $1.25 store a couple weeks ago, and they had small bamboo boards. I actually did remember the stigs ( :^P ), but didn't buy them cause it's wasteful. I'd rather get a piece of used shitty plastic so I can make something out of nothing, and not create more waste.

    Plastic wedge “repair”

    Plastic's less sterile than wood. Bacteria gets in the cuts and grows, while the cuts protect it from being washed. Wood doesn't promote growth, and some woods are actively antimicrobial.

I'm anti plastic for cutting board use, so it doesn't trigger a subconscious alert for me.

    I don't see a problem repairing wedges if you enjoy the work, or are bored and want something to do. If it's not enjoyable, then the effort's dubious. Getting rid of mushrooms is easy. Point work is where it becomes a time sink.

    Plastic wedge “repair”

    That's a chonky wedge! I don't think I've seen one that thick before. Looks like it might be wider than average also.

    Plastic wedge “repair”

    Good success? No, but that's because I'm lazy and impatient. There's a limited amount of time I want to dedicate to them, and a proper job with my skills exceeds that. A double taper wedge shouldn't be too hard to do. Grind the tip til it's an appropriate size to start, and transition it into...
