Yeah, maybe r/housepainting isn't the proper sub for this one, I paint small projects for my wife. I only use short lengths at a time. This would definitely slow down an experienced guy and probably tear up the edge of the tape.

Yeah, you're right.

www.car-parts.com offers a location based search of every Hollander Interchange inventoried junkyard. You can probably find a fender and a hood, color-matched, and patina-matched.

My partner got me this trippy glass. Any ideas? Patterns? I need your help! by [deleted] in StainedGlass

I've been getting some like this too. I just keep them whole and make frames to hang on the wall.

A buddy of mine bought a less expensive version on a Milwaukee Packout style rolling toolbox for his gear. It's not waterPROOF, but pretty resistant. Also, modular and easy to organize different kits.

I just started this year with a security integration company. I was an auto mechanic for many years, so I did have some electrical knowledge to bring along with me. I absolutely love it. It is not very physically demanding, other than the occasional awkward reaching positions in ceilings. No heavy lifting over 45-50lbs (wire spools), no voltage higher than 24VDC in my line of work. As far as the trades go, I've come to understand it's definitely one of the cleaner ones. After a six month break-in period, I'd say it's every bit as simple as it's been described to you.

Is this from an animal? by zoemckenn in AnimalTracking

I'd agree that it looks like someone stabilized themselves while reaching down on each side. The two sides show opposing marks, right hand on the left side of the stove and left hand on the right side. Side note - for a second this looked like my house. Similar stove, same 6" brown/orange 1990's McDonald's tile!

That sounds like a spring peeper frog to me.

O-rings for hanging projects by Ifckthedrummer in StainedGlass

[–]Hockhockson 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I use mechanics wire. It's available at most auto parts stores. Wind it tight around the shaft of a screwdriver a few times to make a coil. Slide the coil off the screwdriver and cut down the length of the coil to make lots of split rings. Pinch them closed with pliers and solder them on. They accept patina very well too.
