Is there a name for this type of ceiling? It's angled, so the roof is directly above the room (no attic). There's also a higher wall whose top portion is presumably adjacent to the attic. I've seen this in California homes, including my own master bedroom. It really heats up during the day, presumably due to heat convection from the roof and attic.
It seems so fulfilling, being able to make such beautiful things. But also a bit expensive eh... to get the woodworking skills (presumably by taking classes at a technical college?), the equipment, and the time involved. If any folks here are capable of doing this stuff, would you please share details of your journey, I feel inspired to learn some of this myself. Did you feel it was all worth it, what would you do di…
> presumably by taking classes at a technical college? Trial and Error is all you need. I've never formally trained myself in woodworking and I'm pretty good at it. I could definately replicate what this guy did if I had the time and money. My wife and I have a book collection that currently lives on eight 2.5 metre high by 1 metre wide Oak bookcases that fully line two walls of our living room (which we call the Lib…
I've had to amend that after a shameful disaster with a half-lap joint beam - "Measure twice, think once, cut once."
Earlier quoted context omitted.

I really liked OnShape for my latest woodworking project. Allows to make 2D drawing and assemblies etc, even animate joints. It's not open-source unfortunately though. Example: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/72898c3fef68768a08c1287a/w...

Typically there isn't a lot of room between the ceiling and the outside roof and the insulation they use in that space doesn't provide enough protection from the heat and cold. This is an area that is ideal for Spray Foam which provides superior insulating properties.

Memento mori. Do the things you really want to, need to or should do. One day, it's going to be too late.
Basically means the unsettling feeling that opportunities will vanish as one ages

Often looks nice but as you say in some climates you pay to heat or cool that space.

I'm a bad woodworker. My furniture has bad joints, gaps between pieces of wood. I don't use good wood. I do a poor job painting or staining it... and everyone still just sits down on my chairs and says, "This is so cool that you make your own furniture." Start small, start bad, improve on each project... and give it time.

Evidently order is important here. Measuring and cutting are not commutative operations.
Also, if you have two parts to join, the measuring on both sides doesn't cancel.
If only carpentry and woodworking were as easy as algebra.

There is a german word for that: torschlusspanik Basically means the unsettling feeling that opportunities will vanish as one ages
