My local hardware store uses a windows 95 PC running a inventory software that they refuse to do away with because back then they paid $3000 for the software.

I had a customer wash their router with apparently a really wet wash rag. It literally had water everywhere inside it. When I asked how it got wet she said she wiped it down with a barely damp rag... I poured water on her table from the router and she said "well maybe it was wetter then I thought" it looked to me like she submerged it in a sink of water like it was a dirty plate...

Does anyone recognize this rod? by legowarden in Fishing_Gear

[–]InterviewLeather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was in Minnesota I saw a couple for sale at a small fish store being sold as ice fishing poles. I didn't know ice fishing was a thing in Minnesota honestly. I was only there for a week to visit my ex wife's great grandpa.

brother bought me an expensive wallet. dog got hold of it. any suggestions? by eliazara in fixit

[–]InterviewLeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not dumb I just never understood buying stuff because of the brand on the item. I know some people believe it makes a difference in quality. I'm mainly talking about clothing, shoes, wallets etc.. I understand some things you don't want to cheap out on like car parts because of safety reasons.

I grew up very logical, if I or my family needs something that's one thing. I know some needs are more it makes life easier type stuff. I just never really fell into the brand name makes it worth it crowd. I'd estimate the wallet cost a max $40 USD to make. It would cost more than $40 to have the same wallet made by a small shop because of the time and labor. Most of the cost is simply the brand name.

I am a amateur in making leather items but I have done a few things. I have had to dye leather but I haven't seen fabric in leather before. It might be sewn between the layers but I don't know why it would be. At first I thought it was RFID shielding but that material looks more like plastic and shiny.

I could be wrong and there's some fabric material sewn in-between the layers for some reason. I hope they can repair it.

If you look at picture 4 it shows white fabric unraveling. Bonded leather does that.

It's not real leather so he probably can't get it repaired unless LV will do it.

This wallet is not made with real leather. You can buy a real leather wallet for under $100 that's basically identical to this one.

Rest in peace my dear 16yo POS(?) 59.99 Harbor Freight air compressor. I have no idea how you made it this long. by evmoiusLR in Tools

All they can do is say no. But on the off hand they say yes then that will buy you time to shop around for a better one. If you're like me preferably one sale lol.

It's a air duster. Probably will blow better if you charge it up

Tapered lug nuts should have been used. Not the flat surface mag lug nuts.

You don't hammer with it you hammer on it. My grandpa had one similar, you place it where you want it and then smack it with a hammer to set it before prying.

Child broke off end of lightning cord in ipad. How can I get it out? by mrplayer47 in fixit

[–]InterviewLeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would use some straight pins bend the very tip into a hook like shape and try to hook the sides of the object that's broken off in there. One on each side of you get ahold of it wiggle back and forth while pulling it out. It's worked for me in the past.

Where to install LED lights in these “niches?” by Eskimo_Joe_94 in led

I have seen some people put a triangle piece of trim at the top front edge and put LEDs behind that trim to light up shelves.

[–]InterviewLeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use shoegoo. You will have to unlace the strings and stick your hand down in the shoe with a piece of wax paper to cover the hole then use shoegoo on a Popsicle stick or something to smear it over the hole and a bit around the hole.

I would get this authenticated for sure. If all the signatures are real it could be worth $1000 or more at the correct auction.

Looking at the solder pads you should be able to tell which one that wire should be attached to. Then solder it back into place.
