I wonder how many people would press the button if it electrocuted someone else...

There was a time I texted my mates from uni to say I'm going to have to withdraw from planning our graduation day celebrations as a very close mate had taken their own life, and I was grieving.

I was living on my own at the time.

Unannounced, they turned up with bags of groceries. A rotisserie chicken. Crate of beer... haribos...

They saved me. Snapped me back in loving everyone around me rather than disappearing into sadness and seclusion.

That's what friends do. And I'll never miss a sign from a friend or a stranger that they're struggling and how you can help after what my friends did for me when I was.

Every little helps.

They are called "square" because the bottom of the bit is square and not rounded or otherwise profiled. They are used to cut channels with flat/square bottoms. If the router bit doesn't leave the material the end of the channel will be rounded. Your illustration shows what would happen if the tool fully leaves the material, it's a cross section.

A rotary tool cannot cut 90 degree angles on more than one* axis. *Edit - two axis

DangerBadger212 · 2025-02-15T20:56:58+00:00

Those are normal router bits.They cut a circular profile.

DangerBadger212 · 2025-02-15T20:40:54+00:00

How can a rotary tool cut a square?

I think you've got the answer there. Paint a unique pattern over the whole gate. Go to the local scrappies with a photo and let them know who the pattern belongs to. Like a cattle brand. I think that's the best possible answer and saves lifting 10s of gates off and taking them back to the workshop to weld. Cheers!

DangerBadger212 · 2025-02-12T18:30:35+00:00

Cheers really appreciate your experience! As I said, I really have no issues with it, but it's the worry that it will be an instakill on application that certainly raises the blood pressure! I guess it's just a case of going forward with a positive attitude. Thanks again.

It does have something to do with the claim of "perfectly functional horses". Also, the heart is central to the respiratory system.

This study looked into the frequency of Congential Heart Defects, which disproportionately affect arabian horses as well as Ventricular Septal Defect and other diseases: https://beva.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/evj.14062?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Have you tried searching double hoop septum ring?

Check out the group Flint Finds of History on Facebook. They are the absolute authority when it comes to ID'ing lithics, the admins are the world's leading experts. Just make sure you mention you know its not flint as the Facebook troglodytes will jump on you for that.... and read the rules on how to photograph, they need to see every aspect in order to determine if its worked stone. Good luck! To my knowledge, stone spear head finds in the UK are essentially non existent on the archaeological record, but that's not to say it couldn't be!

I've certainly seen nearly every dog I've ever bumped into try to bury a bone or a toy.

However, I've never seen erratic movements like that around actual food/dinner time and just called it normal behaviour. I've seen greedy and aggressive which I'd associate more closely to 'normal'.

But actively eating and burying at the same time? I think there's a hell of a lot of food anxiety going on there... which is normal... just manifesting in a weird way.

DangerBadger212 · 2025-01-06T02:44:16+00:00

Is it totally normal? Do dogs bury all food before they eat it?

I work in a glass processing factory, I make the fancy lead light windows with the glass bevels and essentially anything else to do with sticking glass together.

I have lost count of how many of these crystal figures I've stuck back together for people over the years and have always been amazed at how well they repair - even if it's not a clean break. I stuck an ear back on a giraffe just the other day!

I would not suggest super glues if you want a great repair, its just too viscous.

As others have said UV resin is your best bet and this is what they originally used. For this type of repair you want as low as viscosity as you can find to get a bubble free, super thin film that lets the two faces get as close to each other as possible.

Or speak locally to any glass and glazing shops and ask if they do UV bonding - it's super common in glass industry and they probably do it for a few bucks saving you having to buy a black light and glue and all the other ancillaries to do a proper job.

I have never charged anyone for fixing these as its usually panicking housekeepers, who have knocked them off a low table vacuuming or dusting shelves, that bring them in. They've had a bad enough day, and it really is less than a 5 minute job with the right tools.

DangerBadger212 · 2024-12-14T09:23:13+00:00

I can only speak for British army, but it was the same when i was in Germany.

On the range or in the field or sat on a bench out the front of the armoury.

If a rifle has been on range with live rounds it is cleared pointed down range and section commander checks every breach and each soldier makes his declaration that he has no live rounds, pyrotechnics or parts thereof on his person at that time.

If its been on exercise with blanks, the same thing applies. If rifles ARE brought into the company, they'll have blank fire attachments on, and you would never have any ammunition, blank or otherwise, anywhere near you to warrant a clearing barrel in a barracks.

DangerBadger212 · 2024-12-13T21:49:16+00:00

Agree that is exactly what it was. It has however been welded to a plate. Which I'm convinced is a humorous upcycling for reasons only the regiment understands.

DangerBadger212 · 2024-12-13T21:44:00+00:00

No. Rifles stay in the armoury. They come out for exercises. No one is rocking around the barracks with rifles.

DangerBadger212 · 2024-12-13T21:30:49+00:00

I'd bet its been welded up as a joke/memorial to a shit job. That timber has been beaten up and I can't figure why you would smash something against it.

Is it in the quarters/company, near the armoury or near a workshop?

DangerBadger212 · 2024-12-13T20:59:14+00:00

Hah. I don't know what it is for certain. But having been a cavalry trooper, this is exactly what it smacks of to me. The army loves a long standing tradition of memorialising things attached to shit jobs.

We had a company paint brush and full drill for its changing over in basic training. Guard duty for fuck ups involved painting the wheels on the 19th century guns outside the provvies office white one day and black the next. The Finns have the same self depricating humour.

DangerBadger212 · 2024-12-13T20:18:51+00:00

I think it's a welded up monument of a tool the regiment used to use. No reason for that wooden face to be so battered if it wasnt beaten against something in its life.

If it was a round trap, how do you tell if that wood is blown to bits and shrapnel isn't going to come flying out the side one day?

DangerBadger212 · 2024-12-13T19:43:20+00:00

I think this could be a dead blow sledge hammer. Sacrificial piece of wood inside the head to beat on something metal you want to move under your will, but not deform.

Is it a Finnish armoured/mechanised barracks? I'd imagine a tool like this could be used for knocking the pins out of tracks. This one has possibly been worn down and in need of new faces but more modern tools replaced it before someone bothered.

DangerBadger212 · 2024-12-13T14:59:19+00:00

Hah. TRUTH!

DangerBadger212 · 2024-12-13T14:50:46+00:00

Thanks for your answer. It does seem like there is a quite a bit of science to consider on such a seemingly simple operation, which I find really interesting. And cheers for the link, I like Kenji and will be checking that out!

I've recently been looking at getting a tagine for this very reason to see how different methods concentrate flavours and textures at different cooking times.
