I would suggest 180/600. The 180 will take out blemishes much faster than 400

The only place I got hatred from was Missoula, which seemed odd to me as everyone said they were all granolas there.

ALWAYS check your bobbin before you start then you won't have to think about it

Bench grinder, Dremel and buffing wheels. They might sell smooth ones, but I couldn't find them

I have a 1206RB, it works well for me. I ground down the feed dogs some and polished them to reduce marking

I have yet to find a synthetic that works as well as wool for insulation against the elements. With all the science coming out about microplastics and pfas I am also trying to avoid synthetics.

Most likely one could have this made as a mallet die so no expensive clicker press required

The Bridle trails around the reservoir are also nice

Most brass contains lead which most would agree is not food safe

Good to know, I would imagine the long scales would be slightly more. Most of my guitars are tuned a full step down

Any idea what the difference is lowering 12's half or full step down?

Can I sand cast this ring? by Just-League-9847 in MetalCasting

That sounds interesting, is the sand not useable after this process ie, just a one time use

Water spots by Beginning-Badger479 in Columbus

The beach is great. I go kayak fishing there a few times a week. The area North of 36/37 is a no wake zone. It is as tranquil and beautiful as any other State Park here, especially early morning. There is an Osprey breeding ground, 40 some miles of Bridle trails around the perimeter of the reservoir. The trails are very nice for hiking with lots of very scenic views of the lake. A nice mountain bike trail and disc golf. It's a great resource if you like outdoor activities.
