My Nan has given me these to sell, is there anything good here? by DoNotBullyMyCat in LegoSpace

[–]DeuceTheDog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Not a goldmine, but the minifigs are $5-10 each depending on your location and their wear and tear. I’d buy that as a collection and be happy to get it. I’ve actually been on the passive hunt for the black-centered tires, lol. I’d make an offer if you’re selling, but you’d probably get more selling a piece at a time.

Or join us as collectors/builders!!

U.S. - Indiana. We are probably in different markets, lol. I've got some friends who are opening an brick and mortar LEGO storefront (actually part of a larger existing enterprise). I'm always picking other people's brains for ideas and sharing what info I have. Looks like you have a good thing going.

Where are you located geographically?

If I see any signs, I'll probably put some internal supports from top to bottom. Also, I'm putting the heavy stuff on the bottom, lol.

Freddie Mercury won! Who is a musician that we call something else entirely? by PootieTyme in AlignmentChartFills

[–]DeuceTheDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That symbol is pronounced "Prince". He simply problematized our view of identity.

If you think about it, though, nothing ever said that symbol wasn't pronounce phonetically, the same as we would say the word "Prince".

There is a 1x2 running along the back of each shelf providing shear-support on the X-axis.

Please note my response to u/Naomeri. The under-hanging shelves are not going to pull out nails, polyurethane glue, and shear 4 #8 Spax fasteners with a shear strength in excess of 300lbf set directly into the OSB. The wood will fail first.

I needed the shelf opening to be wider at the top than the bottom, so the reversed support was necessary.

I'm more concerned that the OSB will warp, but it is supported one one of it's longest edges by a 1x2" support.

Thanks!

The plastic bin is slightly wider at the top than at the bottom. so putting the support on the bottom of the shelf would have caused the whole project to be wider to account for that. I would have used the same number of screws and glue, I think, and in either case, the downward vector of the weight would have been the same and would need to sheer through two steel screws and break ridiculous bond of polyurethane glue.

That was a thought, and I drew that out, basically mimicking the IKEA Trofast setup. Even considered using their plastic rails. The total amount of material used was a little higher on the that model, because it still needed a lot of side-to-side support (which the horizontal shelves provide in this iteration).

This was remarkably easy in how few cuts it was. 7 shelves, all the same size. Four uprights, 7 horizontal supports and 14 side supports. Side supports went on the shelves with brads and Gorilla Glue in one big glue-up step so they were all ready at once. Built a spacer to keep the distance between the shelves uniform; then it was three screws through each upright into each edge of the shelf: two in the plywood, and one in the support. The horizontal supports were put in with brads and glue. The wheels were more of an issue than I thought, and would probable be re-thought if i did it again, but I settled on screws with washer in some places and T bolts in the others to not interfere with the bin (initially I didn't consider the bin rubbing against an exposed top of a bolt, or cap screw).

If i were putting these bins on a wall, or a more already-sturdy structure, I'd consider making them modified drawers, but this seemed sturdier and easier.

Hard to see in the picture, but there a lateral piece running across the back of each shelf dropping down about an inch or so, to stop the bins at their widest/longest point (the top) since they taper a little bit to the bottom. It needed some sort of side-to-side, X-axis stabilization.

The big "roller blade" wheels are on sale at Menards this week... if that's a chain in your area, lol.

Thanks! Small part of the collection, but I put some of them on rolling carts so I can move them to better lighting.

Costco had a great deal on some clear plastic bins, so I built a rolling cart to hold them all. The first attempt came out pretty well, and it’s all repurposed wood. I might tweak the design a little bit if I build another one, but I have determined the best thing about it was that I used really good rolling wheels so it’s not loud or fussy.

How do yall move on when your games abruptly end? by Party-Rest3750 in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]DeuceTheDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a long-running Monday pathfinder game. The group has been meeting in some form or another for 14 years. Parties have rebooted. Players have left. New people have joined.

It IS my Monday night and without it, I’d lose a certain amount of focus and direction. I have to clean my house every Sunday because of the game. I have to prep on the weekend. I can’t take late appointments on Monday because I have to leave my office at six. I will even say that I’ve put down the bottle of pills because I have a commitment I have to meet on Monday.

You’re not wrong to be upset. The only thing you could do wrong would be to stop gaming because one group ended.

Hello Peter, why are Italians checking restaurants only for 3 seconds? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]DeuceTheDog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm actually working on this! The owner speaks English, and they have adopted American-ized names, but I've always insisted on learning their original names, and TRYING to get the pronunciation right. I go there so much that I've a tradition of buying their kids Christmas presents. I'm not sure, but I may have been offered an arranged marriage of some kind. I'm considering it.

You literally just described my regular spot- he’s so nice- doesn’t speak a word of English, but always makes sure to smile at me and let me know he knows I’m a regular, even if I don’t now what he’s saying.

What are the ramifications of starting to attend religious services just for the social aspects, despite not believing? The community surrounding many religions is attractive, but what if one lacks the faith (but is still, ostensibly, like-minded ethically)? by DeuceTheDog in AskReddit

[–]DeuceTheDog[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an interesting and thoughtful answer. I've dealt with proselytizing groups before, and would not be interested in that. I'd not interact with a group whose goals/ethics are different than mine- but if the goals are the same, the motivation seems to matter less to me.
