if there is a law in the eu or similar country about how if someone is using hate speech but there is a possible acception to using a pushing away type of force for self defense that I may be missing someone could fill me in.

I doubt it, and it’s generally a bad idea because they always try to paint themselves as the victim.

Are you in the US? Here in Germany we have enough known rightwing streamers that we could fill a panini sticker album with them. A good way to troll them back is to play copyrighted music from your phone or a portable speaker, so they can’t use the footage. Alternatively, you can play circus music to make fun of them (they absolutely hate that). If it’s dark, you can shine flashlights at them to ruin their footage.

Could this be oilskin? It looks a bit like polyester.

It looks like it has cat ears.

It works quite well for madium to large distances. For anything close you’ll need equal parts of skill and luck. ; )

Just by estimating the distance and relying on the focus markings. Same as with some vintage cameras I have.

I don’t need to cut it to final thickness right away, since I have to graduate the thickness by hand anyway. Being in the ballpark of 3 or 4mm might be enough.

Edit: also, most veneers I found were plain-sawn, and I specifically need quarter-sawn.
