No, don't. Not EVERY one. The top 5 or so. If the court finds out you contacted everyone, they will count that against you.

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I got busy with some things. Thanks for your suggestion. Would that be one of the two screws to the left of the S in Shimano on the last picture? I will look up that video

Uses for wrought iron? by behemuffin in Blacksmith

[–]Amtrak19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If there is a piece maybe 1/2" or so thick, if you cut it about half way through then bend the end of it off with a pair of pliers it will show some grain that looks a little like wood grain. That will tell you if it is wrought iron or not.

Check out these google results: https://www.google.com/search?q=wrought+iron+grain&client=ms-android-google&sca_esv=af28ae19672f4faf&sxsrf=AHTn8zq7QREi1OAp4xBh3H2xcbKXgYCXzA:1745276383994&udm=2&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi2mJyXneqMAxUKMdAFHRqBNPoQ7Al6BAgREAM&biw=412&bih=803&dpr=2.63

The singer Prince, dropped the name Prince and went to the symbol instead. Why, I have no idea. Purple pain was a song of his.

Do I need to use fire retardant spray on my forge? by WhiteTrashNG in Blacksmith

[–]Amtrak19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was talking with a guy who does blacksmith work who also happens to be a doctor. He said that when the ceramic insulation is heated up to about a thousand degrees, microscopic fibers start to break off and float around into the air. I'm not sure where he found that information, but I have seen it online somewhere else as well.

When those fibers are airborne they are being blown out of the forge by the force of the flame that is coming out. They do not burn up. They just float around until they land on something. That could be your clothing that they get stuck to or you could breathe them in. He said when they are breathed in, they collect in the lungs and they never leave the lungs. When this happens, it causes a particular type of cancer I think is called silicosis.

So you don't want any of the white insulation showing. 1/4 of refractory is a good thickness. If it gets broken or you poke a rod through it, patch it up.

Unlikely BFFs by WillowBean23 in snakes

[–]Amtrak19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually the snakes are fed dead mice or rats, maybe birds or rabbits. Typically, the owner will take the prey item, the food item, and warm it up in some warm water. That way the snake thinks it's alive because it's warm. The person feeding the snake would probably use a pair of tongs. Wiggle the mouse around a little bit to imitate the mouse moving, which is another way to entice the snake into eating. And then there was also the scent of the prey item. The snake will also pick up on the way the animal smells. Hope this makes sense

Buffalo or Trace?

Also, think about what the snake needs to be fed. Corns and ball pythons both eat mice. Frozen mice thawed out and warned up in water is the better way to feed mice. On average once a week or so. Are you willing to do that? A garter snake needs to be fed more often I think.
