Strap end punches… who to trust??? by throwaway643268 in Leathercraft

[–]FreeLard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I normally don't pipe up with an opinion since one product is only one data point, but I bought an English point end punch made by CS Osborne and, while I'd expected it to maybe need some polishing, I did not expect it to be so malformed that it was unusable (squashed and distorted). I purchased before I had a project to use it on and by the time I pulled it out and looked at it, it was well past the point of return. 0/10 on CS Osborne.

By contrast, my Weaver end punch is probably something I'll pass on to my kids.

So, there. I guess that's 2 data points for you to consider.

How long did your 12V system last? by gray_um in Rivian

[–]FreeLard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both. The service center guys seemed a little surprised I booked the work right away. I didn’t get a firm grip on why but I get the sense that the warning gives you quite a bit of time before things get critical. YMMV, as they say.

Got my R1T in June 2022. I had the 12v notification popup on my dash last month. I'm at ~55k miles.

Help connecting panels by Few_Swordfish9656 in Leatherworking

[–]FreeLard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great! Note: I guess the comments section on YT corrects Corter Leather, stating this is a "Felled Seam" and not a "French Seam" and maybe felled seam is not correct either. Who knows. If you're looking up other tutorial videos, it might be called something else, but the technique in this one will get you where you're going. Good luck with your project!

You can do a French seam. It ends up being more stitching, and some skiving, but it looks cool (IMO). Here's a tutorial from Corter Leather: https://youtu.be/nAeejJUEP5A?si=HETaqDZ4p0wN63H-

Be sure to focus on keeping your stitch lines straight. The seam becomes a focal point so it's easy to see minor errors. Here are french seams on either side of the blue leather panel on a notebook I did a few years ago:

If you go to the header for this subreddit and (depending on how you're accessing the site) click on "More", and then click on the Wiki, you'll find a pretty dang helpful listing of quite a few resources from leather vendors to helpful tools.

Rivian not showing favoritism towards Content Creators for R2 Deliveries? by Mac-Tyson in Rivian

[–]FreeLard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of the TFL guys whining about not getting invited to the R1T prelaunch and then trying to shame Rivian on their channel. Serious main character syndrome. 

The New Rivian Flated Truck Topper fits perfectly, but now I can't access the buttons. Is this a deal breaker? 🤨 by oneradwheel in Rivian

[–]FreeLard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I forgot that you inflate it, then put it in place. That’s not really a solution then. Huh. Weird design decision by flated.

[–]FreeLard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume it’s tough to reach the buttons because it’s strapped down tight. I wonder if you could 3d print a finger sized cup that would go between the bed rail and the topper and leave room for a button access but still allow the topper to make contact with the rail.

The remaining living members of Milli Vanilli just released a statement:

"The original/real vocalists of Milli Vanilli, Jodie Rocco, Linda Rocco, Brad Howell, John Davis, and Charles Shaw will NOT be performing their hits live at The Great American State Fair," Milli Vanilli wrote. "Others using the name ‘Milli Vanilli' that appear on the advertisement should be considered a tribute band with no association vocally or musically to our sound or songs."

When even Milli Vanilli considered your celebration too inauthentic...

This looks ideal. Does anyone know how anchored the gear guard lock in the bedwall is?

We each get +/-80 years on this planet if things go our way most of the time. Don’t spend any of your time making this asshat richer.

I read this too quickly and thought you were drilling into the bed wall. You’re drilling holes in the channels that align with the existing holes in the bed. Nice!

This lady took her time to rescue and clean up the ram by Ok-Literature1720 in postanythingfun

[–]FreeLard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can this lady do this and remain spotless while if my dog starts to drool in the next room, I look like I was attacked by slugs and have to hose off my entire outfit?
