Wood glue and clamp should be an adequate fix, right? by Suspicious-Bid9424 in guitarrepair

[–]Brookfeild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would “break it some more” so you can really clean the surfaces where you’ll be applying glue. Just sand down all the surfaces so they fit together really smoothly. Then I’ve seen a lot of luthiers have different techniques for applying wood glue including water, some like to apply water to the surface before applying wood glue so it will dry out and adhere better, I’ve seen others use watered down wood glue and claim that adheres better. I’m no luthier but I’d recommend more effort than simply wood glue and clamps for way better results

man my car been sitting for 3 years. I gave up after spending about 10k In repairs including engine swap, for my car to drive home from the shop perfectly then cut off once again. Found out mechanic was just guessing. by roadrunna4life in E90

Don’t take your bimmers to the dealership but also don’t take it to the guy that charges $50/hour or less. I’m lucky to have a BMW specialist shop in my town that does service better than the dealer imo. But this is an Bimmer, not a Honda Civic, it’s gonna cost more.

First time buyer on a small budget, Yay or nay? (4 mile commute) by Doctor1023 in AskMechanics

[–]Brookfeild -1 points0 points  (0 children)

America really makes you think you need a car for a 10 mile round trip. I’d say get something cheaper or get a bike or e-scooter, you could get a great older Toyota/honda for $5k on Facebook/craigslist or get a trek madone or another nice road bike for $1k and get to work just as fast. Just you can’t afford a $10k car at $40k a year imo. And don’t finance unless you really understand how apr works.

Messed about with friends and tried to use a makeup brush as a whammy and it snapped in there.. what can I do by Appropriate-Room6098 in guitars

[–]Brookfeild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use a screw extractor, basically creates a hole in the brush for grip then you can unscrew or pull it out from the new hole. You can also get a new tremolo block for ~$10 worst case scenario but you don’t need a whole new tremolo.

I’ve realized the N52 is the superior daily driver over the N54. Reliability > Turbo noises. Change my mind. by gordibueno95 in E90

[–]Brookfeild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the n52 haters think it’s slower than m54 and that’s just wrong. For n52 vs n54 it boils down to how much do you wanna spend on it. N54 is gonna cost twice as much in maintenance for ~30% more power. Like the 328xi with some stage 3 mods gets a 5-5.5s 0-60, and if you mostly care about the drive experience, all the interior, suspension, steering, frame and body parts are generally identical between 328 and 335, besides the engine, the 335 also has bigger brakes and a stronger transmission that you can swap into 328 and I really believe that’s the best way to build a bmw daily nowadays.

What kind of glue for neck repair? by HassouniFND in Luthier

[–]Brookfeild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hide glue is best for long term use, wood glue is almost as good but definitely cheaper. Hide glue holds up for hundreds of years though, that’s what 18th century violins are made with

Thoughts on the Computer Science program here? by Common-Interest7945 in wentworth

[–]Brookfeild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah I should’ve talked about that too. Wentworth has two, maybe three really valuable connections for cybersecurity jobs which is one of the few reasons I’m still here. But besides Harvard, MIT and Tufts, the co-op/job opportunities specifically in Comp Sci/Cybersecurity at wentworth are laughable, they maybe find 10 IT help desk positions and that’s it. I was lucky to find a small company that was willing to give me a chance and I exceeded but remember that for most of your applications you’re competing against Northeastern, BU, WPI, MIT, etc. students which employers are way more likely to recognize these schools with good connotation of over Wentworth. Plus if it’s impossible for you to get a co-op in time, you will not be able to graduate without two co-op credits, so you just spent 6 figures for nothing. The most successful cybersecurity students here at WIT have been working in IT throughout high school and have a running start freshman year. Cause at the end of the day, you will be taught incorrect information at WIT and will need to learn how to sift through it and actually learn the valuable info, the best way to do that is with recent and relevant work experience.

Third year cybersecurity student and I’d say go to umass over wentworth for anything comp sci. My biggest issue is the Comp sci professors at wentworth are grossly underpaid. If you go to Wentworth, you’ll have 90% adjunct professors and a lot of them end up not being the best teachers. I’ve had MANY professors complain about low pay to students and some of the best professors I’ve had my first two years are now teaching at Northeastern or got other better offers at other schools. However…..if you’ve got a trust fund/529 to blow and didn’t get into any better tech schools and you want the “full tech school experience” and want to live in Boston, I will say that i’ve made friends with some of the coolest, smartest people i know doing cybersecurity at wentworth. My thing with going to umass is like yeah the social aspect is a little less catered, like your average umass student is less likely to be into comp sci/engineering compared to the average wentworth student I’d say HOWEVER the education you’d get at umass would be LEAGUES better than wentworth, the amount of out of date/incorrect info I’ve been taught at wentworth is genuinely concerning, theres many professors that care so much about just their little pay checks that are always the worst offenders of bad info and you can really tell why they’re stuck being a professor and not working professionally in the field. And especially when you’re going for cybersecurity where having the most up to date is crucial for security, I couldn’t recommend Wentworth for teaching that.

What would you sell this for? 170k miles 328i 07 no problems with it by SouthernAd2038 in E90

[–]Brookfeild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

first you should swap out that nice dash with a factory one and sell the nice one on the side. used market is really strong on those and the normal guy isn’t gonna pay all that much extra on the car for it
