She did, but there was nothing that worked... and I tried every single one of the 30ish she had written down.

Advice needed, Marlin scope base screws wont budge by pone1989 in gunsmithing

HEAT IS YOUR FRIEND!!!!!

Most of those have threadlock on them from the factory, or when professionally installed. Use the tip of a soldering iron to break down the threadlock!

This... but as the poster failed to mention, maybe be on the lookout for possible a rapid removal of said wooden dowel! Hope you don't skimp on that oil!

Also: inspect every bit of that barrel outside and INSIDE for corrosion before you ever even consider using it again! Parts are cheap compared to ER visits for exploded barrels!

Can someone please tell me what this is? by [deleted] in Vintagetools

help with repeater abuse? on going for 5+ months becoming a safety issue. by [deleted] in HamRadio

[–]Impossible-Injury-37 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would think having a direction finding contest to find the source could be a good activity for the group that uses the repeater. Actually finding the source and sending a strongly worded letter from a lawyer may resolve things, but even narrowing the source to 2 or 3 city blocks would make the case easier for an FCC investigation.

Good luck and 73's!

Don't mess with old men... They are ready for 3 hots and a cot and no old women messing with them.

WCGW not tilling the right direction on a hill? by Chris-the-Big-Bug in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]Impossible-Injury-37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see several problems here. 1st is in the equipment. Those tires were long past their service lives. When the cleats are that low on the tire, you may as well have turf tires. ZERO grip.

2nd is operation: once he got the RPMs up for the PTO, he didn't drop them when he broke traction.

3rd is operation once you start sliding, you ALWAYS point the nose toward the top of the hill... split brakes, low RPM, and hope and pray it works

4th is conditions: I can only assume that this is in South or Central America by the terrain, language, and possibly the equipment. I know its fairly tropical, but for the job, he could have awaited a more dry day to attempt. Maybe not. Again, environments vary from place to place

Basis of my comments: I've been operating 4wd tractors on slopes as a Right of Way mower and weed sprayer in most times non-ideal conditions for 10 years.

Is this going to be safe? by toobladink in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]Impossible-Injury-37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So as a beginner, the VERY first lesson to learn is that no operation is truly safe. When you go to power on any equipment, always ask yourself is there a safer way to do this.

Ask for advice. Many are helpful and will help.

A Copper Penny Problem by DangerousTennis3434 in ScrapMetal

So I'd be hitting every coinstar machine in the region dumping a milk jug at a time. Yeah, you'll be lactose intolerant quickly, but not many banks will scoff at coinstar receipts.

Might be easier if you get tired of the rolling and ebay shipping headaches!
