The working side of the house
Field notes from the BURIUS bench
Four short guides to the decisions people write to the desk about most: sizing a squeeze bottle, choosing a cake drum, measuring a garage door cable and fitting side shields.
-
How to pick a squeeze bottle size and tip
Capacity, tip bore, cap type and whether to go inverted — the four decisions, in the order we would make them.
-
Cake board and cake drum sizes explained
What the half-inch thickness is for, why the board should be larger than the cake, and when white, black or gold is the right call.
-
Measuring a garage door cable before you order
Door height to cable length, why cables come in pairs, and the two numbers to check before anything else.

Fitting clip-on side shields to your glasses
What side shields do, how the clip grips a thin frame and a thick one, and when ordinary glasses are not enough.
