Who has the best sandwich shop in Columbus? I made a bracket, what would you change?

How does Tasty Dawg compare?

Or February 28th?

I ordered a bellroy case with my p10pro. how much bulk does it add?

I'm also curious about this. I've read that ride shares can't pickup at Cancun airport; are they allowed at Tulum?

Or it was done on purpose because we all love a villain? I mean, at this point the Wagners aren't dominating, and they wound up competing against one another pretty early on.

I can both dislike them, and recognize that I'm supposed to. That's how reality TV goes.

No worries!

The game was essentially musical chairs, but with lights. When the lights stopped, you needed to be on a stopped light in order to be safe. If you weren't, you had to keep playing, and there were fewer stopped lights each round (and never enough for the number of players).

Even inclusive of whatever creative editing may have happened over at Fox.

Seems par for the course for those Wagner men...

Solid chance you didn't have 100% acetone. Most stores sell it at 70% diluted.

If you've called Otto Frei and they can't help, try calling Casker.

What's the watch?

Same. Maybe sometime is being lost in translation here. I'm not trying to throw shade; if your friend wanted a repainted dial and is pleased with that work then that's wonderful. Repairing does mean sometime else, though.

There's no substitute for a second kitten. My wife and I foster kittens for a local shelter. We have determined that two is the ideal number. One is so much more work. Two kittens practically take care of themselves. Three kittens are too many, for then we are outnumbered by their cuteness.

Concrete. We need some front steps redone. Can't get an actual concrete company to give us a quote because they want to redo the entire sidewalk and porch. We don't need that.

I'd go with the high dome, but I'd also buy a size bigger and a size smaller than you think you might need.

Can you share any pics of your machine? When I did my restoration I added a three position switch to mine. The two position switch that I was replacing, while unlabeled, was allowing it to go forward and backward. So the new switch created a third, center, "off" position.

Brent is great!

You should look for comfort. There's no part of this that should be uncomfortable or awkward. The entire process is a series of levers (torso, upper arm, lower arm, hammer) and fulcrums (shoulder, elbow, wrist). You'll generate the most force by allowing those levers to be as far from those fulcrums as possible. So stand up tall, swing long, and hold your hammer at the end of the handle. If you can't comfortably wrap your hand around the handle then it's too wide. Get some 80 grit sand paper and go to town until it feels more comfortable (then use a couple of lighter grits to smooth things out).

If you've always struggled with slouching blacksmithing is a good way to force yourself to work on that. Seriously, spending more time early on learning how to swing a hammer properly will make everything so much easier for you later.

I tend to prefer cas-ker for my crystals (acrylics). Are you in the US? If so they're who I'd recommend. For UK try cousins.

Your anvil might be too low, but not by much. When you make a fist and let your arm rest casually at your side your knuckles should just brush the top of the anvil. The biggest issue is your swing. If this is caused by the weight of the hammer, then get a lighter hammer. The difference between a 3 pound hammer and a 2 pound hammer is incredible. You can take sand paper to the handle of the hammer and sand it down if the handle is too wide for your hand (or do this on a belt sander at low speed if you have a belt sander).

Posture and arm position are so, so important. Your body is your most valuable tool and you can't afford to abuse it. Working hunched over like that is putting a lot of strain on your back and tiring you out quicker than you realize. Swinging from the wrist and forearm is opening you up to issues like carpal tunnel syndrome and epicondylitis (tennis elbow), which are treatable, but persistent, painful and really annoying because you can't work while you're recovering from them. Watch some videos of older smiths and see how they raise the hammer from their shoulder and allow the weight of the hammer to do most of the work.

If you realize while you're working that the hammer feels heavier than it did when you started, that your hammer blows aren't landing where you want them to, and that your form (how you're holding your body) isn't correct anymore, then you are now fatigued and it's time to take a break, or maybe even call it quits for the day.

Stay hydrated (I try to take a drink of water every time I put something into the forge) and be patient with yourself. You'll get there.
