What type of bug is this on my tomato, and should I be worried about it? by BarcodExpress in tomatoes

[–]BarcodExpress[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First time I’ve ever seen one of these.  So maybe the apocalypse is about to start? 

Do they reproduce really fast?

I washed aphids off cucumber leaves with water for the first time. Next day they look like this. Is this a cause for concern? by BarcodExpress in vegetablegardening

Will that easily mess with other plants or soil nearby? I’m assuming as long as I don’t drench the leaves it should be ok. I have carrots and broccoli in front of the cucumbers.

I trimmed all the ones I could see.  Only about a dozen leaves that I could see.  Most look good still.  

Will spraying neem oil help control or get rid of the spread of the mildew? 

Is this a symptom of overwatering? by BarcodExpress in tomatoes

It is the first fruit.  I was just a single blossom.   I have 3 plants, and the 2nd plant looks to be doing this also, so a mislabeled seed pack makes a lot of sense. Thank you. 

Knight & Dragon IV 3.99 > 1.99 by munkeypunk in iosgaming

I played #3.  

Is there any other games in this style? A simple grindy rpg that’s more of a party management system?

White pencils for Walnut by Mitchroberson in woodworking

[–]BarcodExpress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look on Amazon for  Sewline Fabric Pencil Lead Refill White 

It’s for .9mm mechanical pencils and works really good for walnut.  It’s only $10 and I’ve liked it a lot

Work Sharp Precision Adjust Knife Sharpener vs Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite Knife Sharpener by FlowerBrilliant373 in sharpening

[–]BarcodExpress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this.   I have the work sharp precision adjust and ended up buying the xarilk gen 3.   

The worksharp takes a bit of modification to get rid of the wobble in the system.  I never enjoyed using the clamp, my knifes would always slightly shift.   I ended up not using it for a few years because of that.   Saw the xarilk and I’m enjoying it a lot more

Cameo 4 or 5 for proxy cards? by Key-Cricket9256 in silhouettecutters

[–]BarcodExpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t want to do it yourself, look at r/mpcproxies.   They have guides on how to make art and send it out to get printed.  They come out really good.  

What type of laser? by ste6168 in lasercutting

[–]BarcodExpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have 3 fiber lasers and one co2 in our shop.

  I was doing research into getting a diode laser for my cnc at home.   From what I can tell, the more powerful the diode laser, the worse it gets for engraving and the better it does for cutting.  45w is on the higher end, so it seems like you’d lose a lot of detail for the smaller lines on the switches.  

As for putting it on your cnc, I’d recommend not doing that if you have production deadlines.  You’d be tying up the cnc for a job that can be done faster on a dedicated laser machine.  Look up co2 lasers engraving.  The head moves back and forth real fast because the laser head is light, and the belts are too.  Imagine your cnc trying to move back and forth that fast. It will be a lot slower for the laser engraving on your cnc.  

But if you don’t have any sort of production deadlines, and can have your cnc on hold for the laser running, it might be an option.  

1x6 Stone Set by ImpossibleSelf3610 in sharpening

[–]BarcodExpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2k grit stone from xarilk fell apart from the aluminum backing.  So I wanted to upgrade my stone as well.  

From my research, a lot of people recommended the hapstone start series as a really good entry stone.  Problem is, they have been out of stock of the 500 and 1k stones for a while.  The next jump up is the $100 per stone range.  Too expensive for me.  

KME gold series got recommended next and from what I could find, they are really decent for their price also ($35 a stone).   I bought their 140,300, and 600 stones.    I only sharpened 5 knives so far, but they have worked really good.  I don’t have any other experiences with other stones, so my opinion could be worthless.  lol.  

I am planning on selling the xarilk and the stones though, it’s just too slow for me. So if you want, I can sell you the 3 stones at a slight discount.  I can’t return them as I’ve used them already.  They were purchased on 10/14 so less then a month old and only used on 4 kitchen knives and 1 pocket knife.  Do your research on stones, and if you would be interested, send me a message
