Thanks I actually used the up down method with the track saw but from my understanding that’s more about the board edges not being 90° which seems to nut be an issue when i measure it, but the hourglass shape wouldn’t be affected by that right?
Thanks for the tips, i have some extra boards so maybe i can just practice a bit with the jointer and get a better result, the bench plane also seems like a good option. Though I’m still confused why the tracksaw and parallel guide also gave me the hourglass shape. In the past I used that setup on plywood for similarly long cuts with better results…
I’d say I’m pretty decent at bouldering, and have noticed that some people at the gym have started to ask me how to do problems and stuff, so that’s cool.
Woodworking it really depends, sometimes I surprise myself and make something I actually quite like, other times Ill mess up the most simple things again… But i just started out with my first hardwood project and I’m excited to see how it will turn out.
Sewing I’m very much a beginner and ask my girlfriend for help every step…
Not to down talk your experience, politically we definitely have a huge problem with the extreme right wing party passing laws that are extremely problematic. And I would probably also agree that the swiss are possibly more xenophobic than neighbouring countries, especually when it comes to things like aquiring citicenship which is quite frankly insane. One thing I have also heard mentioned from expats though is the concept of the “swiss stare”. Basically that we swiss tend to quite directly stare at strangers when they get on a train etc. Being socialized in Switzerland we probably don’t notice that we even do it but to foreigners it could possibly feel menacing or hostile. Another thing, Lucerne is very touristy to the point of over tourism and that will create tension anywhere not just in Switzerland, see the whole " tourists go home" movement in spain etc…
