For 5 (and up, even), Belle and Sebastian on YouTube. 80s cartoon from Japan dubbed in English. Was my favorite show in the early 80s.

Look up the playlist by Nick Johnson, he converted all of the episodes to HD.

I’ve never read any. Only after watching Nausicaa that I saw that the film was only 1/4 of the manga it was based on (also written by Miyazaki). So thought I’d check it out.
Reminds me… Years ago we were asked over by someone for a Memorial Day cookout, and they lit off all kinds of leftover fireworks from the previous 4th of July. We wanted to crawl under a rock.

Just watched the Miyazaki film Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, and thinking of grabbing the Manga. Anyone read it, or Manga in general?

Also considering TMNT

Where do you live that there were three, and now unsure of there are any more?

They even have canon source material they can use. Lost Stars, a newer canon novel, is a very good read. Gives a very different side and view of the Empire, moreso from the lower ranks within and how they view what's going on, as well as some worldbuilding in the outer rim in parallel with events from the original trilogy. It follows two friends and pilots that enroll in the Imperial Academy to become Tie fighter pilots. One defects and is recruited by Wedge to join the rebels, and the other rises through the ranks on a Star Destroyer. There is a romance element to it, while not overdone nor the primary focus.

re: Films about Animals ?

“The animals” on the discovery channel in the 80s/90s. Isn’t that what it was called?
I literally woke up to it happening in real time, was on board with everything done in response.

I question everything now.

Where’d you find straight enough pine? Everyone seems to state box stores is bowed or twisted.
Is there anything I need to see since Endgame before seeing this? Black Widow, Hawkeye and the Spidermen is all I’ve got.

This is one that I have saved. Did you use 2x6’s on the tops of the head and footboards? That pic from her sote doesn’t look like it’s 5.5” wide across the top but maybe it’s perspective. My wife doesn’t want a lot extending from the foot so maybe I could rip it down a little so it’s not as wide.

Also do you use pocket holes? I was considering using furniture hardware bolts or bed rail brackets instead.

What type of wood did you use?

Can those of you who built beds post designs? I’ve been looking as well.

Downside is you’ll have to end up moving one day and carrying it out of the house.
