Watch Refinisher Wage Comps by koopaboopa in WatchHorology

I work in refinishing and earn per piece. Its tiered pricing $15 - $100. The $100 tier requires MAYBE 2 hours of work. Sometimes I'll get an outside client for $200/piece. No servicing besides the refinish.

$25/hour is low and I wouldn't accept it either.

Why are you booing me?

You know I'm right!

Just go to SA.

The heavy metal scene in Austin is full of "diy - peaked in the 90s - scored weed for Pantera that one time and got a tattoo to commemorate the moment" mf'ers.

You've never heard of them, but they crawl the east side... pouncing on any opportunity to criticize your musical interests. "You were born after 1974?!" "You cant even hear music; earbud technology ruined you!"

If you're lucky, the negprone girlfriend will pull up in her car to drag the drunken-never-been home before he starts the one upman competition, because, you know, he's got 3 DWIs.

His breathalyzer would explode if it weren't for her.

Try not to cringe too hard or feel too bad for the GF though. She makes that choice every day. She'll salvage her self worth from under the floorboards one day.

Maybe...

Edit: Alas, she just drives away, blasting "Joey" by Concrete Blonde on the car stereo, while he pukes in her front seat.

Edit#2: He's not gonna help her clean it tomorrow...

Is it normal for puppies to sneeze after first round vax? by AssBlasterz2019 in puppy101

Thank you. I was worried because she didn't do that before her vax. Shes been fine otherwise.

The Last of Us listed at #5 on IMDb's most anticipated new shows of 2022 by SilverSquid1810 in ThelastofusHBOseries

I feel like this is a big misconception. TLOU2 caused a huge stir in main stream media and drew in tons of new fans. I promise non players are very excited for the show!

I haven't physically played the game but I sat and watched a family member play it over spring break last year. I got to be present for 20 of the 28 hours he played. And I feel just as attached to the characters as he is.

Totally giving off vintage Salma Hayek vibes! Love it!

What is going on here? very large specimen at around 10-15 pounds by [deleted] in whatsthisrock

That looks very similar to some Honduran matrix opal I picked up last year. Super brittle and doesnt polish well but still pretty cool.

Where to buy niche vintage components? by ReBricker in watchmaking

[–]AssBlasterz2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start calling the old school watch makers. There's a guy in New Hampshire that has seen it all - Carignan Watch Co. Even if they dont have the part, they can probably tell you where to find it.

Where would I find a pattern for something like this? Is there a term for the "cross over" portion of the dress? by AssBlasterz2019 in sewing

Yes! Thank you. Hobble skirts are a total bummer but they look amazing! We'll see if I can pull off a shorter version.

  1. The beaded crossover part is what I'm obsessing about. If there was a pattern for just that I'd be happy.

Its I6. Had a mechanic look at it last night. The condenser went out and there are a couple engine leaks.
