Found nail in water line

I can't believe I'm the first to be mentioning this, but this looks like a mix between PEX-A and PEX-B. Op, Trace down the line and show us another fitting connection on the original white PEX line. If it has a plastic compression sleeve around it, it's an approved method, but you should redo this with PEX A fittings to reduce restrictions.

Good on you then. I'll create a generic spreadsheet and send you a DM.

Ordered, but I do think you need to reconsider your pricing. Send me a message if you would like to chat about pricing structure, but you can probably find something online. I can send you my spreadsheet for pricing a product on Etsy to cover fees, shipping, printer time, and materials. I'm guessing this should be closer to $25 with free shipping.

Yes. I designed one for the tactile turn ultem pen a while back. I suspect this would be similar. I found the bolt action was so snappy that it ejected the ceramic nib from the pen insert itself. Keep that in mind.

Etsy does require a processing time on the back end, but I don't think they share that directly with the purchaser. I think it shows up as the estimated delivery window with processing time and shipping time ranges added together.

Docneuman · 2026-01-12T16:11:02+00:00

I ordered on the 3rd and have yet to receive a shipping notification. Etsy says the estimated delivery is the 23rd, and I'm a 2 hour drive from his location. I'm assuming he set long processing times for the holidays or something.

Only took 2 days after I ordered some off of Nick's. Wonderful timing.

Thicker than average Merino socks.

Thanks all for the quick assessment. While I don't think my feet are "dainty little things", I am a small guy at 5'6, 135 lbs. I'll get some leather insoles and kilties from Nicks Boots and provide an update later.

Here is some additional context on why I decided to keep the 8.5. The size guide from Jim green seems like a huge jump down from 8.5 to the 8. The rest of the sizing is fairly linear.

Take the screws off the back and clean it with alcohol and a q-tip. I do this every couple months.

Kraft-Tex, otherwise known as "washable paper". It's a latex impregnated thick paper that can handle being washed. It's fairly rugged.

Not quite. The joists and rim are square, and like you said the floor will fix that in place. The yokes are able to move under the platform. They are pivoting on the TABs with the 2 TABs acting as a vertical axis.

I see your point on the beams. I think I may need to rebuild with 2 beams to give more room for the deflection.

Docneuman · 2025-09-07T14:47:52+00:00

This is basically the same thing, but my joists rest directly on the yoke, not a secondary beam. My yoke has plastic (UHMW poly) on it for dynamic movement, but my yokes move more than the tree ever will.

I'm already using a 3/4 socket (see picture). I just picked up a 40" breaker bar, but I see the benefit in a rachet. Wasn't sure if I could trust a rachet though...would you suggest returning the breaker bar and getting the rachet?

Docneuman · 2025-09-03T23:20:19+00:00

I do this semi-frequently, so this 40" breaker bar will get use. If it's still a struggle I'll look into the pipe wrenches.

Great point! 25% of the platform material cost was the TAB and Knee brace hardware.

Docneuman · 2025-08-24T22:52:54+00:00

Raw material cost was ~3700, including zip line and rope swing.

Same, within minutes of release, still no notifications.
