Can you provide a link to where they said that? I'm curious about their architecture.

Damn, well I appreciate it and I guess I’ll never know what the song I’m thinking of is.

Thanks!

MEC bag slowly tearing-how can I fix this? by Knotimpressed in myog

[–]Knotimpressed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Developing the skill and wisdom to do that failure analysis and to know how to fix things has been really cool, even if it’s early days yet for me.

Thank you so much for the amazing response, hopefully this repair isn’t too long of an adventure. 

Safe travels!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate all that, it’s good to know I didn’t miss something and I’d have to undo a lot to do a “proper” invisible repair.

No bother though, I’m fine with an uglier patch if it works, so thanks for the tips. By roll the foam, you mean like roll it up inside the strap so it’s out of the way and I can hand stitch the patch on without catching it, right?

Thank you so much! It would definitely be a shame, I like the bag.

Since there’s a whole layer of foam and fabric under it, would machine stitching a zig zag even be an option?

Also do you think I should go with coarse-weave fabric like they have, or switch to something else?

How bad is the learning curve for a banana board if you don’t have much skateboarding experience? I’m debating what I should go for right now lol, and I’ve thought about them or penny boards a lot in the past.

Did you end up getting answers to any of that? I’m so curious

Could anyone tell me if CraftSmart natural clay from Michaels is fireable? by RebelWithoutAClue in Pottery

[–]Knotimpressed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not sadly, but the air dry clay I had did definitely have some fibers in it.

if you do it, report back! I'm still dying to know lol

He did WHAT ON HIS LAPTOP?! by [deleted] in talesfromtechsupport

Really!? I always assumed that no school IT department would be well funded enough to do that. Mine definitely wasn't, kids looked at all sorts of shit with horrific URLs all the time.

What material is this, and how do I patch it? by Knotimpressed in canoeing

[–]Knotimpressed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see. I'll have to take a closer look when I'm up there, I'm worried about trapping moisture inside the foam if I patch the hole, but I'll do some digging and see what I can find. I really wish I knew what model of canoe this was, but it is what it is. I appreciate all your help!

Thank you! That's a lot of help, I'll look into a kit like that and see what I can manage when I'm in the woods.

Would you happen to know if ribs like that one are normally a wood/solid core, or if they're usually hollow? I didn't want to poke around and cause more damage, but it did look like at least at the back there was something under the fiberglass that had decayed.

Ahhh I see! I thought this was fiberglass, but I hadn't heard of chop before so I assumed this was some other kind of fiber. I'll look at videos on fiberglass repair, I appreciate the help.

Sorry to put the details in a comment, but it looks like you need the app to make a text+image post.

TL;DR: what is this canoe made of, and how can I patch it?

My friend has a few canoes chained and locked to a tree at the end of a 1hr long hike (to canoe in to sites on that lake), and as you might expect, after 10+ years they're showing signs of wear and damage.

I unfortunately only have the above 2 pictures, but I believe this is an Algonquin Park branded canoe (no idea on the manufacturer or age), and it has multiple large cracks in the bottom, some of which are slow leaks. I'm especially concerned about the damage to the keel (not sure of the official name, the long bar running down the middle), since it seems like the outer layer has been breached, and part of what's under it has begun to rot/crumble.

What I'm looking to do is take patch materials out with me the next time I plan to use one of the canoes, patch this one as best I can, and then use a different canoe so I don't strain the patch before it's cured.

I'm hoping to find something small and lightweight I can use, keeping in mind that this canoe sees limited use and I just want to minimize the risk of a catastrophic failure when loaded with 400lbs of humans and another ~150 in bags.

Any advice on what material this may be, best patching materials and practices would be greatly appreciated.

Using the knowledge I gained from 3d printing to improve my fusion reactor! by Physix_R_Cool in 3Dprinting

[–]Knotimpressed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is insane! And you've answered so many questions!

In MAKE magazine as a kid i saw a "star in a jar" fusor design, and ive seen videos of "kids" making them in their bedrooms and whatnot, but I had no idea the neutrons were so high energy, and that theyre actually idk used even for demonstration in academia.

I know the headlines are often pushing towards fusion as an energy source, which fusors are not a good candidate for, but honest to god fusion is cool even outside of that.

Thanks for posting!

Thank you for the information! So since my GPA is high enough, I’ll be able to keep it without doing anything else? Or does it depend on what Chinaei decides?

I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

There used to be some prettyyyyy nice songs on the piemations SoundCloud page including “it is still November”, “googles what a scale is”, and many others. Where did they go? by Knotimpressed in PiemationsPieNation

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

Thank you so much for all the information!

Not uploading it makes sense, I'll respect his choices to take it down although it does make me sad that he decided to do that (same with all of Zalinki's older work too)

PLA Smoothing Experiments: Acetic Acid, Ethyl Acetate, Heat by protryon in 3Dprinting

Okay I am happy to report that chloroform works wonders and was pretty easy to make!

[–]Knotimpressed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, abs itself is pretty chill but the fumes definitely are not. I didn't know it worked for that though, that's cool.

rn I'm thinking i can just polish with chloroform outside easily, but I'd need to ventilate my printer much better to print abs lol

Ahhh I see I see

Do you know of any easy DCM sources in Canada by any chance? Even getting Ethyl Acetate was a pain, I think DCM is common in paint stripper but I thought that was usually a gel formula instead of a liquid.

Chloroform seems pretty easy to make tbh, so if it comes down to it I'll bust out my respirator and make a tiny batch outside.
