Learn how to avoid a door that creaks or springs back from the closed position. Easy adjustments to screws, mortises, and hinges on interior doors contribute to a perfect fit. Read more to learn how to adjust door hinge.

Adjust the gap by bending the hinges
Open the hinge-side gap by spreading the hinges. I’ve seen shims used behind the hinge leaf to adjust the gap, but bending the hinge takes less time. I can widen the gap in small increments. Remember that when the gap is adjusted on one side, it affects the gap on the other side as well. Place the butt end of a nailset between the hinge leaves up against the pin eyelet, or hinge knuckle. When the door is pulled toward the closed position, the nailset spreads the leaves and widens the gap. This technique puts a lot of force on the hinge, so go slowly to avoid damaging the hinge or bending it too far.

A new set of principles for better workflows when making digital products

“Ready for dev”

It’s safe to say that there is a natural tension between the fields of design and engineering. Traditionally, the role of design is to question, create meaning, and to argue for solutions that make for a better user experience. The role of engineering is to systematize, solve technical problems, and to argue for solutions that make for a simple, scalable, and future-proof implementation. The design process begins before we know what we want, and engineering usually happens when there is a clear notion of what is being built.

"Unfortunately, these projects often do more harm than good if the organization uses the design system as yet another initiative to centralize the decision-making process..."

Commit content is both a snapshot and a patch

Commits are unique and immutable, and are anchored to a specific point in the graph of history and causality. This means that a commit’s identity is made up of both its content and its context. (If a commit has the same content but a different parent, it’s NOT the same commit.)

Branches aren't quite branches, they're more like little bookmark go-karts

And branches don't mutually exclude each other, they don't "own" the branch of history that they happen to be placed on.

git pull exists

"Pull" presents the illusion that you can just ask Git to make everything okay for you so that you're allowed to push again, without having to understand what you're causing to happen, which, as I mentioned at the top, is literally the opposite of how Git operates. It's an incredibly harmful illusion! Can everyone please start teaching novices the basic "fetch, observe, then consciously choose whether to fast-forward / do a merge commit / rebase / reset" workflow instead, thanks.

The block that I purchased for this project was Ezy Carve Printing Block 30X30cm. I sketched and then carved a nude bust into the rubber block. After I had carved my design into the rubber block I…

Magazine copies. For the gelli plate I made 2 batches of 1.5 cups cold water 3/4 cup glycerin 3/4 cup alcohol and 8 packets of gelatin then microwaved it and stored until it was clear the gelli plate came out really dense and thick. I spend like 25 bucks at Walmart for all the stuff and got like way to much so I can make I bigger plate if I want but I don’t think I ever will.

https://www.reddit.com/r/printmaking/comments/12hn2ke/help_best_diy_gelatin_plate_recipe/

I used 8oz vegetable glycerin, 8 envelopes of plain gelatin and 8 oz of hot water. Stir in the gelatin slowly and break up all clumps. Pour into a shallow container like a cookie sheet and let it set. If there are problems with the plate it can be remelted and reset.

ETA: my favorite source for tips is YeatesMakes on YouTube. Super creative guy who does a lot of different techniques, including image transfers with charcoal pencil, chalk pastel, and resists.

Hey, art enthusiast! 🎨 Ever felt like gel plate image transfers are just too tricky? Felt a little blue when your early attempts didn't quite hit the mark? Well, we've got some fantastic news for you! 😄

Our very own Anneliese from Everything Art Store has been on a creative adventure, experimenting and exploring every nook and cranny of the gel plate image transfer realm. She's wrestled with the challenges, laughed at the mishaps, and now she's ready to share her foolproof methods that are set to work every single time! 🙌

In this video, Anneliese spills the beans on her tried-and-tested techniques for perfect gel plate image transfers. Follow her step-by-step process and learn how to avoid those common pitfalls that can make your art journey feel more like an uphill battle.

This article tells how to build a durable, good-looking fence, from start to finish, as well as how to build a gate that works perfectly.

The key to our no-sag gate is using panel boards that are angled at 45 degrees. Each functions as a brace to keep the panel from sagging over time. The outer frame on each side also overlaps in opposite ways at each corner to make the gate even more solid.

Here’s the secret to hanging gates successfully. With the gates spaced 1/2 in. apart on the ground, screw two 2×4 or 2×6 “holding” boards to the gates, overhanging the ends several inches. Then carry the assembly over to the opening and rest it on blocks at each end.
