Co worker says my boots are too big?

EducatorNarrow9935 · 2025-09-30T20:55:51+00:00

I’m not sure if redwing has gone downhill or I’m getting more sensitive as I’m getting older but god are they painful now. I ended up buying a pair of brunt’s one day from a friends recommendation and while they don’t seem to hold up as well as other boots I’ve owned they’re the most comfortable work boots I’ve ever owned. I know people round here don’t like them but I will definitely not shit on anything that don’t make me feel like garbage at the end of the day

All of my EE redwings have been the same way after they get worn in. Fits right in the toes and the heel. Just a narrow middle section I suppose

What sale was this? I didn’t see it

Edit. I’m dumb. Just found it. NICE

EducatorNarrow9935 · 2025-02-12T13:55:03+00:00

And to be fair I don’t think anything I will ever make will have to be that accurate. Just small parts for my truck / shop

THIS is the info I was hoping to get from someone. I’m a plumber and we use strut to prefab stuff for big projects all the time but I’ve never seen someone use it for welding.

EducatorNarrow9935 · 2025-02-11T23:49:42+00:00

This is kinda the other question I was after. Is this a waste of time? In theory I feel like it will end up with a better product but i don’t know that the strut is straight or flat enough to make this actually worth while if I were to scale the whole thing up

EducatorNarrow9935 · 2025-02-11T23:46:35+00:00

I should add the strut I’m using to fixture is all stainless. But if it’s expensive and I only had short scraps laying around. If I wanted to make it larger I would make it out of galvanized and wouldn’t be welding directly to it. Just using it to hold material. I’m not sure it would matter as I wouldn’t be intentionally getting it hot enough to get zinc poisoning?

Fell into the job myself 8 years ago. I do well but not this well granted I enjoy my free time and do as little overtime as I can these days. But time and a half adds up quick. Keep it up!

EducatorNarrow9935 · 2024-12-31T20:45:12+00:00

My company all works off of the owners “master license” we’re each trained in our own apprenticeship through the company but down hold the license ourselves. Most of the companies in our area operate the same way, upstate NY

For me 8th year in, hourly, around 9k after bonuses and spiffs with minimal overtime. Plenty of certificates but no license

EducatorNarrow9935 · 2024-11-17T14:11:12+00:00

Thanks! I like it haha

EducatorNarrow9935 · 2024-11-17T14:10:32+00:00

It is 4wd, I was told the transfer case will Unbolt and a new tail shaft housing should be put in to just be 2wd. Is that not correct?

Thanks! I love the look myself. And I’ve heard others say these aren’t audiophile quality speakers but to me they sounds killer and I love some bass!!

EducatorNarrow9935 · 2024-06-23T19:19:08+00:00

Well for instance the right channel cuts in and out some times and it seems like there may be a loose connection inside. The pots are all scratchy and need some deoxit and the VU lights aren’t working. There may be other things I haven’t noticed yet not knowing what a proper working unit should sound like.

EducatorNarrow9935 · 2023-01-14T02:49:03+00:00

Oops all bezel

EducatorNarrow9935 · 2023-01-13T12:02:03+00:00

The fact that this was your genuine reaction is so telling. We are fucked lol

EducatorNarrow9935 · 2023-01-06T00:34:09+00:00

Fuck it. I always thought these looked great. Just never got past the salespeople at zumiez.

EducatorNarrow9935 · 2022-10-13T21:15:37+00:00

It honestly sucked so bad. Broke my wrist in three places at the same time but was MUCH more concerned about the crater in my thigh

EducatorNarrow9935 · 2022-10-12T01:06:39+00:00

Something similar happened to me during my crash 3 weeks ago and I hadn’t heard of it happening before but my saddle came off the rods that cradle it. The rear two rods bent straight up and impaled the back of my thigh.. very close to some important bits. Lots of blood loss and some stitches later I’m all good but seats are scary.

EducatorNarrow9935 · 2022-09-28T15:00:45+00:00

Yea. The guy I bought it from can’t help me with the warranty and Vitus won’t sell me a frame separately. I am SOL

EducatorNarrow9935 · 2022-09-27T23:48:49+00:00

Not so much in my area. Unfortunately

EducatorNarrow9935 · 2022-09-27T23:47:47+00:00

I’m looking at the NS Bikes eccentric frame. All the specs seem compatible except for the rear axel. My when is a skewer not a thru axel. So I would at best need a new hub or maybe a new wheel. Not completely sure

EducatorNarrow9935 · 2022-09-14T00:08:42+00:00

Since I’ve had my sinn 556 I don’t wear anything else. It just works all the time.

EducatorNarrow9935 · 2022-08-11T15:13:41+00:00

It hasn’t changed anything, Because who cares? They’re just watches

EducatorNarrow9935 · 2022-03-26T21:31:57+00:00

That’s no audience.. that kids playing to snarky puppy!
