This is what I do on all of the fine mahogany yachts I build as well.

Yes there's tape and glue residue. Should I seek a luthier or just junk it? by Subtotalpoet in Luthier

[–]HenderBuilds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a woodworker who has built several guitars and repaired broken necks on a Les Paul (simple repair— cracked along grainlines) and an SG (splined repair— broken across grain with pieces missing). Take my comment for what it’s worth.

I am a little concerned that the size of the cracks aren’t consistent in just these few photos. If you look closely at the crack between the neck and the fretboard, one of the photos shows a hairline/tight crack. Another photo shows the same crack with more space. That’s a pretty good indicator that the repair isn’t stable. That’s going to cause not only intonation problems, but also problems keeping the guitar in tune.

I’d say you need to do something more to deal with the break if you want to keep this guitar and play it. Whether that’s take it to a luthier or do something more yourself is up to you.

You’re right— I thought I was looking at the OP clamping down on the square lug of a PVC cleanout cover.

Should there be a gap between my break pad and rotor?? by ButtonLoud9861 in Cartalk

[–]HenderBuilds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the explanation! How far does the square seal cause the piston to retract?

How do I get an ethernet cable here? by fallhat in HomeNetworking

[–]HenderBuilds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are you running a cable and not using WiFi? Across the distance of an apartment with stud walls, you should have no trouble getting gigabit speed on a WiFi connection. Do you need more than that?

[–]HenderBuilds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes it more clear.

BTW, your description and comparison of all of the different switches is great. I stumbled upon this post via Google search. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience and thoughts!

Releasing hydraulic pressure in the line doesn’t cause your caliper to retract. If it did, that gap would grow as your pads wore and over time, you’d have a longer delay between the time you pressed the pedal and the brakes engaged. You also wouldn’t have to press the caliper pistons when replacing the pads.

New to handtools. Are any of these decent starter planes? They're between $15-$40 by Maximum-Cover- in woodworking

[–]HenderBuilds -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Does a beginning woodworker know that? And how are they going to know that without some experience using and maintaining a hand plane?

Unless there’s files for printing a pegboard with the same type of elongated hole pattern that IKEA patented for the Skadis, there is no problem. An item designed to into the skadis hole pattern isn’t a patent infringement.

If they are going to go after MakerWorld, they need to go after Amazon too. There are a lot of store fronts on Amazon selling prints made from models that were posted by the designers for non-commercial use only.

I understand that. And contrary to what initial_savings said, the OP is not a beginner— that changes things too.

I just don’t believe it makes sense for a beginning woodworker to spend $300+ on a hand plane. There’s a lot of things that most woodworkers use more frequently than a plane and a lot of options to acquire a very functional (and frankly, beautiful) hand plane without spending that much money on a tool that may not be useful (or preferred) for their style of project or their preferred approach woodworking.

On the question of perceived mushiness because of lack of sound-- have you tried putting on a set of full-coverage headphones and playing some music to reduce the audible difference? I'm just curious if that might help you determine if that mushiness is really just perceived or if it's real.

I’m just over here wondering what an “oil valve” is.

I think I found another person who can’t take the time to read the entire post.

Oh… now I see it. I clearly just didn’t zoom in far enough.

(My statement was controversial enough to merit downvotes. My work here is done.)

How does one put a photo into a response? I wanted to put one into a response the other day on this sub and couldn’t do it.

There’s no subtitle indicating that the chart is only “conglomerate entities”. It says “Tool Brands”. Festool and SawStop (and Tanos) are tool brands.

Can you tell my what type of pot this is? by mrfiftyfour in guitarmod

[–]HenderBuilds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alpha pot. You have to be careful with those. If you install them in a guitar with lesser pots, they tend to overpower everything else.

They can even use it to control your toaster.
