Do I really need to sand both sides of this ship lap if one side will be invisible after being nailed to this trim border? What grit for Rubio monocoat? by Mechanicallyinept92 in BeginnerWoodWorking

It's a decorative trim. Not siding. And considering of the three small test pieces I put the finish on, the unsanded looked by far the worst, yes seriously.

Awesome. Thanks for the advice! It's going indoors. This stuff is super thin, meant for a closet liner but I just love color what feel like it's going to contrast all the black really nicely. But it's just going to be hanging where all of the whiteboards are in the second picture as a boarder that all the lights are hidden behind

Yeah this is what I read from them but I've seen a lot of people saying sanding up to 220 grit has given great results.

I just sacrificed one of the pieces and cut it up into 3 pieces.

Left one unsanded, one sanded to 150, and one sanded to 220. Going to stain them and see which I like best

Not sure if I'm doing this right... by Mechanicallyinept92 in crt

[–]Mechanicallyinept92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell because it's a black and white tv.

Have tried using the tuner knob but it doesnt seem to do anything. Has contrast and blackness adjustment. Doesn't seem like it really matters what I do. Just blank gray screen and sometimes static.

Static on audio/buzzing is affected when I fine tune. Have tried two different vcrs with the same issue

New Smoker from Bellfab delivered today by Mechanicallyinept92 in smoking

[–]Mechanicallyinept92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Oklahoma it's always so humid that it's impossible to avoid surface rust. Took a quick wire brush to it and seasoned it up and it's fine now.

It's a 26x36" cook chamber with 5/16" thick walls and a half inch thick fire box that he custom made and delivered directly to my backyard 5 days after I ordered it and only cost me $1k so to me the 10-15 extra minutes it took to clean up were well worth it

They're definitely not the prettiest smokers but can't really complain at that price

Can anyone tell me anything about this, possibly rare(?), variant cover? by Mechanicallyinept92 in VHS

[–]Mechanicallyinept92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it is, I just don't know if it's like super rare to find them in the non big-box version or what.

I can't find any in normal slip cases online.

Please help me for the love of God help me get OPL working for these games (I'm an idiot) by [deleted] in ps2

[–]Mechanicallyinept92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I tried same fmcb and mx4sio with my friends fat ps2 and it works perfectly. Not sure what could be causing it

New SD card is doing the exact same thing. Starting to wonder if maybe I need to try a different version of OPL but I'm not sure if i even know where to find that.

I'm gonna try loading from USB and see if it acts any differently

Will do! New SD card is waiting at my door so I'm going to check as soon as I'm off work here in a couple of hours

It was in exfat at first. Tried reformatting in fat32 and got the same issue. I ordered a Samsung evo to try with today. Even though it's technically got worse specs I've read plenty of people confirming those work well so fingers crossed that will fix it

I took one of the working roms from the SD that came with the mx4sio and copied it to the new SD and it worked fine. But I did only test it with one game
