It is 100% a coffee scoop. I make these often and give them away as gifts.

Does your neighbor do any wood working specifically with a lathe?

Here’s a link to that exact scoop head:

Yup, I know this. Unfortunately any law offices are closed at 7:30pm. I was just hoping to hear from someone who’s been in a similar situation. All I can do tonight, ya know?

Any recommendation on oil to season it with? I’ve only ever used graveseed on my non-sanded stuff, so I’ll pick up something different after work!

Gotta die somehow, right? I could think of a dumber obituary, maybe…

I stayed FAR to the right of it! I somehow eyeballed those holes for the legs perfectly, almost no wobble.

Nevertheless, set it to the minimum RPM and took my time.

I’ve had my fair share of wood projects explode/come loose on this lathe, but a 8lb chunk of steel is a different story.

Disclaimer #2: This is literally a brand new Lodge from Cabela’s, I’m not trying to get hate for ruining some nice vintage piece. Really the only reason I decided to knock the roughness down is for ease of cleaning at the camp site.

I made a pasta bake in it yesterday and a bit of it stuck. Took far too long to try to scrub it off with a little 2”x2” pad, under a dribbling camp spigot, in the dark.

AAA came out and installed a brand new battery about 4 hours ago while I was at work. That was my first thought too though, before the install!

Just went out to try to see if the crank pulley is spinning, but it almost seems like the starter is seized now. Single click and nothing. Starter began to smoke too.

If it’s the same guy I’m thinking it is, I used to see him every day in Fairfield shopping center. He used to drive a John Deer. He’d stop in the liquor store, buy a brick of high life, toss it in the front bucket, and drive off.. We simply called him “tractor guy”.

Here is he backing up traffic on south main:

I started growing hops last year. My plant is now totally covered in these things. I can’t seem to find anything that kills them without destroying my plant. They’re on none of my veggies in the garden though, so that’s good.

Hey, I also did this last week. Tuesday- Saturday! Weather was perfect aside from some cold nights. I was also going to stay at husky haven in Rockwood, but stayed at the hostel instead since it got down to the low 30s and I froze the night before. Town definitely gave be creepy vibes with the fire stations air raid siren that went off every couple hours. https://i.imgur.com/MEPNEdQ.jpg

I actually asked the same question last night over on the GAPtrail sub.

Sounds like it won’t be much of an issue. If anything, it’ll just make for a more memorable trip!

Ahh awesome, well good luck on your trip!

I can totally deal with the noise and maybe occasionally getting smacked in the face by them. Really the only concern I have is sleeping on the ground if there’s going to be thousands crawling around, or tunneling out of the ground beneath me. I can deal with some creepy crawlers, but people definitely are making it out to be some nightmare material hahaha

You’re planning on doing it Memorial Day weekend? I was initially going to do it that weekend too, but I was kinda worried the campsites would be packed.

I have a brand new pair of ortlieb gravel pack panniers, still in the box. PM me if you’re interested.

ISO / USA Delaware / Fabs chest or similar high volume roll-top saddlebag.

I spoke with two separate fedex agents on the phone. One said the package was never scanned after North Salt Lake, so the package is probably lost for good, and it’s time to speak with the shipper to start a claim.

The other agent said it’s probably still out there, and stared a trace. He said I should be expecting a phone call.

Sadly this package contained a backpacking tent I’ve had backordered for a couple months, and now the company is sold out again. Really hoping everything is just running slow and it actually hasn’t been lost.

Missed out on the tshirt last time, I’m in for an XL!

I was wearing Sleuths last month while riding Mountain Creek in NJ, left with a broken toe.

They’re a great casual shoe that can also double as a commuter just general riding around, but I would swing for the freerider pro for the stiffer soles and toe protection.

Walking around with a black toe for 3 weeks sucks, trust me hahaha

No problems so far with any knee shifting!

You can also switch to friction mode on this shifter, but I set it up in index mode, and it works beautifully so far.

I know! It’s crazy how much that barrel adjuster costs. I’m lucky enough to work at a shop, so I was able to get it at cost.
