Dear friends,

Last month, I posted this big project idea of mine to Beehaw's as well as Hexbear's DIY communities. Now I'd like to give you an update.

All figures I'm referring to are here: https://imgur.com/a/b8vGfQf

First, a big thank you to all who have replied, you've helped me a lot in making this project a reality. I have distilled your answers, tips and critiques into a text document, and I can happily tell you that they gave me a more realistic understanding of what I want to accomplish.

I formatted the post like this because it's quite long, and I like to yap, as the kids say. ::: spoiler General thoughts: So, my original post showed the project as I envisioned it for a while now. Many of you have made me realise that there are a myriad of factors to consider, just for hanging the shelves on the wall ... not to mention the difficulty of sawing, building, pain

Hello,

Beginner here. With writing this, I'm increasingly thinking I should hire a carpenter, lol. But I've been wanting to post this for months, so here it goes.

What do I want to build?

I want to build a desk/TV sideboard/shelf combo, that takes up the entire length of a 5-meter-long wall in my living room (see image).

• There's the 'lower part': 60cm deep, 75cm high; two desks on either extremities (i.e. in the corners of the room), flanked by drawers and storage options for all matter of things. The centrepiece is the TV-sideboard, with cupboards for storage and an open solution for A/V devices.
• Then there's the 'upper part': 40cm deep, 200cm high; this is like a shelf that sits on top of the 'lower part', but it is narrower by 20cm. This will be storage for books, records, work stuff, etc... I am not planning on having a back wall on the shelf.

What are the circumstances?

I live in a relatively small apartment (~ 40m²) with my partner. The apartment is a pre-W

Good day! First post 🥇 Hello, thanks for having me, people of beehaw.org 😄

What a cool idea, to have a social media site organised like this ––– I love it!! I've been without the algorithm (IG, FB, X, etc...) for quite a while now, and I think the Lemmyverse will be much fun to explore 🔍. I write explore, because the other week I was watching TechnologyConnections new video on the ~ **𝚊 𝚕 𝚐 𝚘 𝚛 𝚒 𝚝 𝚑 𝚖** ~ where he was talking about how many users are feeling more and more alienated by it, wishing for a more self-curated experience. I couldn't have agreed more, and then I remembered Lemmy from an old MentalOutlaw video, back when Reddit turned 💩 for good (I was never a user).

Anyway, I just have a couple of questions, which I hope, I am posing in the right comm... 🥴

• I want to post to Hexbear's DIY community – as far as I can tell, it's the biggest one by far. However, Hexbear is not federated with Beehaw. That means, I'd have to create a seperate account for He
