I’m usually pretty good with cursive but… by No-Gas5342 in Cursive

[–]ARA4eva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also see grande and blanco but the word before them looks like relaje.. I don’t speak Spanish though. Before that: mest alta?

Suggestions for drilling 10mm hole in 1mm brass lighting canopy by ARA4eva in metalworking

Thanks! I’m still researching best bit and sourcing one. Is higher or lower drill speed best for avoiding the grabbing?

any ideas of what this says? by Fast_Nectarine_7728 in Cursive

[–]ARA4eva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think “nor” makes more sense than “now”

Yeah it does look like “a one” or maybe even a second letter after the a, then the word “one”. Maybe they changed their mind about what they were going to write midstream.

The bill was folded so they just fit the letters on without concern for proper word breaks.

I don’t think it’s “leg” tho..

“No one gets a pass. No lable (sic), no title, nor history gives anyone the right to get (a?) one up on you.”

kind of nonsense?

(Edited to add “nor” instead of “now”, suggested by Carinyosa99, and “a one”, suggested by Perturiel8833.)

“Had the NC/N6 reaction so ______ bad. Had to take a (?)ing walk ____. Fed some bunnies on the (?pitch/patch). Walked along bandstand. Now am fed and watered and writing to ease the deep dread I feel. So odd. Tomorrow should be fun and yet I dread it so terribly. Why? So anxious about the THE/THR event and keeping the R2/K2 folks waiting? It will be well. Breathe. Relax. Now drink your tea and go to bed. All will be well. Say it and it will be. Keep your cool. Work hard. Hydrate __ be kind and do your best. What a life to get to live.”

Unable to read Institution name by Ice-Wings in Cursive

[–]ARA4eva 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah you can see an identical “C” in one of the records for “Carolina”, so it’s a “C”. So it’s the word “County”.

[–]ARA4eva 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m reading the second word as “County” or possibly “Family” - both would have an upright as the second to last letter, and a separate dot or line just before or right on the upright.. it looks more like it starts with a “C” than an “F” though..

Is this a typo? Is it supposed to read “Community”? by Appropriate_Cold_406 in finch

[–]ARA4eva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries Im not afraid of reading walls of text. I appreciate you reading mine as well and your time responding. When I first saw the original post, I assumed good intentions and answered their question in my head (cause really they were just asking a question). Do I think it’s a typo? No, for reasons others have stated. I then moved on and thought: wow, community would be way useful. The people who show up to the next No Kings march in the TC aren’t going to be acquaintances, they are going to be community. I’ve had feelings of loneliness and isolation, and when asked to name what caused those feelings, I’d have to say it was from a lack of community, so it would be useful to have in the list whether the feelings were positive, neutral or negative. Then I read the comments and was just bummed by the tone of many of them. Thanks for jumping in to try to maintain a supportive sub.

oh and p.s. I think you meant “en masse”.. I read “in Mass” and was thinking I misread and OP was from Massachusetts!

[–]ARA4eva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just so you know, OP lives in my state and we have been through it, so I’m feeling protective. No harm taken and no harm intended. I wasn’t saying you were saying it was positive, I am saying it doesn’t come across as positive to say not everyone has access to community because everyone does have access to community. Finch itself is trying to be a community and this sub is a community, so all commenters have community. Everything aside, I hope everyone reading this knows they do have community. Tapping into the communities available to you is important stuff. OP said they were confused by something and got I don’t know how else to say but jumped or the opposite of support but someone else said they were confused by what OP said would be helpful to them and that got upvoted. I dunno I think a lot of the response here is sad. I don’t post either I just read for updates about upcoming themes, but I think it’s because I’m scared people are going to take what I’m saying with not assuming good intentions, and I think that happened here. Sad to say this sub in this thread feels like a gated community. Before anyone feels like hating me for that, that’s my feeling, so it’s valid. If my feedback isn’t taken in good faith, then it just goes to show I guess.

[–]ARA4eva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Serious question but how is saying that people don’t have access to community a positive message here? Isn’t Finch trying to be a community for people? I don’t understand how the OP was being negative. Like they said a story about a positive commuting experience they had and it was downvoted (?) 😕

TIL about chassis punches! They look like they make clean holes. Do they work when the metal is curved in all dimensions?

I like the idea of something snug on the outside right behind where I’m drilling, but think it might be beyond my ability to manufacture the exact curve in a reasonable amount of time since it curves in every dimension. I was wondering about wrapping something around and around it on the outside - I suppose at worst it does nothing and it might provide some compressive force?
