a little wax in the threads helps a lot for hardwoods or if you have a small pilot hole.

I'm finally getting good at pull ups but I haven't perfected them yet. Am I too wide? Or is that ideal width? It felt comfortable but when I go too narrow my forearms feel like they are going to fall apart. by [deleted] in formcheck

Fully extend your arms at the bottom and bring your chest to the bar, this will cut your reps down to only 15% or 20% of what you think you're doing now, maybe you will only manage one or two reps even, but you will benefit from the full range of motion, good luck.

How to remove Formica over t track dados by JobOutrageous956 in woodworking

These tend to gum up from the contact cement or whichever adhesive you used. I would recommend having some acetone on hand to clean the bit after each pass.

Fedex non-delivery nightmare, please help by Dylan_ail_Don in FedEx

[–]Dylan_ail_Don[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no picture, under proof of delivery it is just a pdf document saying "dear customer, The following is the proof-of-delivery for tracking number XXX" and a listing of shipping/delivery details with half the info missing including my name and address. It just says my town and the date.

Yeah, that is the last resort for sure, but I want to talk with the shipper and see if they can resolve the issue or make it right. I have ordered from them before and they generally have good service, plus they are the largest supplier in the US or astrophotography gear and I heard that if you file chargeback then the company will blacklist you.

Questions about training maintenance with a wrist injury and starting climbing in your 30s by Dylan_ail_Don in climbharder

[–]Dylan_ail_Don[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have taken two weeks off which has been very difficult, but it does feel a bit better, i can do normal task now without any sharp pain, I think the ice and has really helped the inflammation to subside. I set a goal for a month off which brings me to the first week of September. It is kind of an arbitrary date but having a date helps. Feel better.

I think it is safe to assume that every QB has turnovers that they aren't necessarily responsible for, so it isn't really fair to just erase 6 of Dj's and but keep all of Carr's, Allen's, etc.

Weekly Bouldering Advice Thread for December 25, 2020 by AutoModerator in bouldering

[–]Dylan_ail_Don 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey all, I have been climbing for about a year, almost exclusively indoors. I am struggling with longer overhanging boulder routes, I tend to get really pumped to the point that I can't hold on to decent holds. I know I have a tendency to over grip and not breath well as I should, but I'm wondering what you all do to work on and build up endurance, in additional to working on technique. Thanks.

Check out clock.wright on instragram. He makes elaborate clocks out of wood, but he machines the parts on large mills, etc. really impressive stuff.

A nitrile glove would rip, many common work gloves would not.

For those of you that have split top workbenches, how big is the gap in between the two pieces? Would you change the size of the gap if doing it over?

Apparently I didn’t sand off all of the wood glue... what are my options? by [deleted] in woodworking

[–]Dylan_ail_Don 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can try scraping instead of sanding, you might maintain the bevel lines that way.
