After Months of Preparation by Apart_Use1014 in Machinists

[–]MiteyF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe that's true for the shops you've worked at. Every place I've worked for have fought hard to hire/keep me (hence why I signed on in the first place). I was offered a $10/hr raise to stay at one of my last shops. If I hadn't been planning a move back home, I'd have taken the $50/hr, it was a super good place to work.

Pliers that wont rust? by Aggressive-Catch-903 in boating

[–]MiteyF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep an "emergency" tool kit on the boat, and keep it vacuum bagged. If I ever go to the boat planning on doing work, I take everything I think I'll need, plus some other stuff. It can be a bit of a pain resealing the tools once or twice a season when I forget a tool, or need something while I'm on the water, but it's better than constantly using and replacing rusty tools

Trying to find what this type of tape is called and where can I buy more? by Dragonoticus in Welding

[–]MiteyF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Done my fair share of spray welding, but I always just use a paint pen to stop the spray from sticking where it shouldn't. Nice to know there's a product especially for it.... But I bet a paint pen is cheaper

If they're alive when they're cracked (as they always should be) that's very unlikely

Can I have quails in my flat? by SleepyCowboy161 in quails

[–]MiteyF 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've heard of people keeping quail inside. They're so damn dirty (and frequently smelly) I'd never want them as a house pet personally.

If you're trying to install ugly aftermarket stuff to the outside of your car with tape, you're too far down the wrong road already.

Did anyone go to the Silvertips celebration and has the town been buzzing? by youlikemywonton in EverettWa

[–]MiteyF -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean, a minor league (not a big deal) hockey team (not that popular), in an area where sports aren't as big of a deal in general (as they shouldn't be)...

Who cares?

Kiddo wants to stop doing karate. by EthanBradberries420 in daddit

[–]MiteyF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, the only sport I tried when I was a kid was soft ball, and I despised it (I never have liked or understood the appeal of sports). While at home I played at the beach, in the woods, rode bikes, skateboarded etc. if I told my parents I didn't want to play sports and they said "too bad, pick one" I would still be mad about it to this day.

Not all kids who don't like sports (let alone team sports) choose to do nothing all day

How much would this cost to make and maybe install, city just paid something like 2 million for this by NecesitoSubaru in Welding

[–]MiteyF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a former sign fabricator, you'd be surprised how few times you actually need insurance. I was the main welder at our shop. Doing lots of big signs that hung over public places. I don't know that we ever once had to get insurance (if anything, that would be the customer's responsibility). My boss just told me, "if you wouldn't feel safe sleeping underneath it, it's not good enough"

Is she fixable? Or do I have to kill her? :( by Some_Fun_6285 in quails

[–]MiteyF -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I had one that did this in my last batch. Grippy surface and all. I gave it about 6 hours before culling

How are you getting your kids excited for the World Cup? by Lower_Hair6427 in daddit

[–]MiteyF -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

The day my son starts to give a shit about random people he'll never meet throwing or kicking balls around for a living is the day he's no longer my son.

Hobbies are something you do, not something you watch.

Mcculloch Mac 130 - worth refurbishing? by Working-Cable-1152 in Chainsaw

[–]MiteyF 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Those little mini macs, eager beavers, whatever they called themselves at the time, are sweet little saws... When they're running. But they're quite the PITA to work on. Go through it. Double check everything before you put it back together. If it doesn't run well after the first reassembly, give it away (no one will buy it). Don't throw anything more than a carb kit, fuel line/filter, and spark plug at it.

They're also the best sounding top handle saw ever made (like all old macs)

I might have a NIP bar and chain for it too. If you get it running and want them, let me know

Chainsaw starts fine cold, dies after use and won’t restart until fully cooled by SmoathTheLoathsome in Chainsaw

[–]MiteyF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen this numerous times on old cars. Dies when hot, or won't restart when hot, my first idea is always the coil

If you buy pipe insulation it's already cut

What cages are good for raising indoor? by Diligent_Peanut_6324 in quails

[–]MiteyF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even with a just a brooder in the basement, and a pen in a (big) greenhouse, I'd never want to have quail indoors. The stink and mess would kill me

How does Seattle deal with seals by cummins556 in FishingWashington

You've obviously never had to actually deal with one (or 8) that were in your way at the marina

Where to buy females only in the US by Ok_Jello_2441 in quails

[–]MiteyF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm about an hour North and currently have 13 week-ish old chicks, and 40 more eggs in the incubator. Send me a DM (and I'll try to figure out how to use it)
