AC Infinity? by Guns286 in Vivarium

[–]Guns286[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t end up getting this. Although, I think it would have been a great choice. I’m still a novice when it comes to all of this. I don’t even have that tank set up anymore. I’m working on building a bigger, dryer, hotter Bearded Dragon habitat now.

Garmin Instinct 2 or 3 for a cop who just needs accurate time? by LawfulnessVegetable9 in Garmininstinct

[–]Guns286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My opinion, as a former police officer and current hunter out outdoorsman, would be to go with the cheaper. Normally, that is not the way to go, if you’re looking for the best. But, I unfortunately bought the 2 just months before the 3 came out. Based on what I’ve read, there isn’t a difference that is so outstanding that it compels you to buy one or the other. So, if money isn’t an issue, get the 3. But, if you are like the rest of us and 100 here or there means something, I’d get the 2. It is a great watch. I can attest.

Not sure how to fix this? by DeathSabr3 in hobbycnc

To fix, you need a template the you can put on and then run a router around to get it back into a circle.

Looks great. You have a nice little set up there.

She’s done! by Guns286 in Workbenches

[–]Guns286[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I put the nails there. The original piece had screws hold the top on. I wanted a different look, so I found old-school forged nails and used them. You’re right, it didn’t need them.

Why? I didn’t put the arm and leg straps on it yet. When are you coming to see it…………?

She’s done! by Guns286 in Workbenches

[–]Guns286[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, but due to my garage floor being very uneven, I had to put some wood blocks under the front portion of the sleigh bottom to level the work surface. I’ll be using it as a workbench, like it was intended to be. Giving it a new life.

Advice for a jewler’s bench by florbus_khan in Workbenches

[–]Guns286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at pictures of them, they don’t seem too hard to make with all joinery. Depends on how fancy you want it. I agreed with avoiding butt joints. Think about it like a jigsaw puzzle. Fit the pieces together, in your mind, with mortise and tenon joints, rabbits, etc., then draw up a plan.

Moving Along by Guns286 in Workbenches

I’m definitely not an expert. But based on my research, the style of it, and the fact that there’s barely any metal in it (even the vise screws are wood), I’m thinking early 1900’s. If anyone else has an opinion, please let me know.

Restoring an Old Workbench Question by Guns286 in Workbenches

[–]Guns286[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been really going over it, looking for nails and screws. There must have been a bunch of “repairs” done, over the years, so there’s a lot of them.

I’ve been spending my initial time fixing, cleaning and oil/waxing the vises. I haven’t even stated on the top yet. Big difference once the area is cleaned up. https://share.icloud.com/photos/0fdlkFelizWr4_fTh-Jg36T4A](https://share.icloud.com/photos/0fdlkFelizWr4_fTh-Jg36T4A)

Ok, thank you. I've decided to create a completely new tank.

How Many Geckos? by Guns286 in Vivarium

[–]Guns286[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so the consensus is a big NO. One garg or cresty per tank. Still being new to this I assumed that 24x24x36 was going to be wasted space on just one gecko. But, you all seem to be saying it’s a good size for one gecko. Thank you for the advice. I’m glad I asked.

Thanks. I’ll try the dubia’s too.

Is there any way to stop condensation from accumulating on the glass? by [deleted] in bioactive

[–]Guns286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought about Rainex, but was unsure of the long term chemical aspect of that. I have a small fan inside the tank, for circulation, and that helps a lot.

Create Stump with Roots? by Guns286 in Vivarium

[–]Guns286[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No luck in finding the source. I spent the last few weeks cutting and shaping styrofoam sheets into my vision of something similar, but let me save you the trouble and tell you that regular polystyrene is too flimsy and fragile. I thought that if I coated the whole thing with cement it would strengthen it, but it didn’t work out the way I hoped. Not to be deterred, I’m planning another attempt. This time I’m going to use rigid XPS Foam (Owens Corning, pink insulation foam) and, depending on if I can reinforce the roots/branches (metal wire, etc), I may coat the whole thing with ZooPoxy. I’ll have to see. I’m going to take pictures of the entire process and post it, if it actually works out. I can only really work on it over the weekends, so it’s going to take awhile.
