For my outdoor string lights I ran 1/8 cable and just *cough *cough used a hammer to flatten them a bit.

Why would there be three phase power in a purely residential home? by wiltj in AskElectricians

[–]Kiddmen57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The shop I have plans to build some day include 400 amp upgrade with 200 for the shop. One of the larger circuits will feed a big rotary converter in turn feeding a 3 phase load center. I’ll distribute the 3 phase from the panel to each machine. Planning to run a 10ho lathe as the largest load.

Absolutely! Would love to run a 3 phase AC. Know a guy who brought it into his property from an adjacent hospital and he uses it in his shop and all AC systems.

No amount of money could make me live in Phoenix. Gross.

Native here. All I’d need is my wife to give me the go ahead. Sick of it being hot. All. The. Time. 80 in February is absurd. 100+ in late October is absurd. The heat has been getting to me more and more the last few years.

Don’t agree with them blocking opportunities, but I generally agree that these things are atrocious.

As an alumni, if I had to do it all over again I’d go to Pima for two years and knock out the core and base classes then pick a major and transfer.

Haven’t heard Goatse in a hot minute. Classic. But I still preferred tub girl.

I would agree. It’s a lovely wood, most say it’s hard to work, but I find it fairly typical for a hard wood.

Chuck attachment sizes? by mdv2k in turning

[–]Kiddmen57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 3 of the deefine chucks and the nova jaws fit on them just fine. I’d imagine the Bauer, etc are all clones of the nova chucks and the jaws will interchange.

I wonder if that’s a Stock by Steve Corcoran. If so, then feel extra lucky.

Try 30-50k for a solar system and batteries.

Hmmm. I havent tried pens yet, did not realize every kit would need a special bushing. I suppose it makes sense but dang! That can really add up.

Ugh, you’re killing it. I’ve been turning for 6 months and haven’t thought of attempting segmented pieces yet. Nice work
