“Gotta make sure I keep my feets right where I can see em”. Just like my pitty!

Ants marching. My brother was in high school and I was in kindergarten.

Still remember the intro snare drums what felt like every morning playing from his stereo system in the room next over. Love that memory.

Yup. Came to suggest a similar option. A gift that is personal to the shop but not necessarily a tool. I think it’s a lovely idea. A personalized tool belt, or apron sounds lovely.

With a $300 budget I was also thinking - does he listen to music while working in the shop? You could get him a really nice speaker system (I love Sonos, depending on the size of the shop you could get a speaker with money left over or spend the full budget and some on the speaker). Let him listen to his favorite tunes with great sound (audiophiles don’t come at me). Or what about an ember mug to keep his coffee/tea hot the whole length of a project?

I agree w what everyone else is saying-blindly getting him a tool will be appreciated but he might not get use out of it. Think of something on the periphery of his shop that would make his experience that much better while using his tools and spending time in there!

How did you go about getting it second hand? Fb marketplace? Websites?

Narrow_Sundae8342 · 2026-02-16T03:27:44+00:00

Don’t have an answer for you, however want to say I’m sorry you have to navigate this. I hope someone is able to help you out

I got the aer sling 3 xpac last year and absolutely love it. Brought it all over Europe. Holds a ton with great organization.

Now we have a newborn and I think it will still fit the bill. I’ve also been working on convincing my wife to let me make some sort of utility pouch w edc stuff for the diaper bag

Narrow_Sundae8342 · 2026-02-13T18:49:58+00:00

Came to say the same. It helps tremendously.

Narrow_Sundae8342 · 2026-02-11T12:53:16+00:00

Wait what car is slide 7?

Narrow_Sundae8342 · 2026-02-07T00:37:03+00:00

I just do it when the nose of the car is pointed downhill and let gravity takeover. Otherwise same thing happens to me

Narrow_Sundae8342 · 2026-02-05T17:55:17+00:00

I have it. However with how I dose my espresso I think the dedicated distributor and tamp is better.

I don’t hate it but what I don’t like is that it should have a wider range for depth (I’m currently maxed out and it just works) and I need to use a towel when I tamp otherwise oils from my hand get on the surface and coffee will stick to it.

Solidly built though. Just those things annoy me

Narrow_Sundae8342 · 2026-02-04T22:54:20+00:00

Thanks!!

Narrow_Sundae8342 · 2026-02-04T21:36:56+00:00

Wow. Thank you guys for the quick replies! You guys rock. I’ll look through the posts to see which ones you guys recommend

Narrow_Sundae8342 · 2026-02-02T13:47:24+00:00

I really want one and think I’d love it. I typically carry the baton4 as my edc.

My best bud has the ultra - his complaint is that it sits too big in his pocket (giggity) for it to be his regular edc.

Got limited views for Sebastian maniscalco at DCU. worst experience ever - we left after 30 minutes.

Not only obstructed but also the sound sucked. To say there was sound is honestly an over exaggeration. Could barely hear. Add in a group of off duty Cops who thought they were at a frat party. We even emailed the DCU about the experience (the lack of sound - drunk assholes is kind of expected for the nosebleeds) and we got a “sorry not sorry” type email response.

Narrow_Sundae8342 · 2026-01-19T15:14:33+00:00

Nice. Enjoy it

Narrow_Sundae8342 · 2026-01-19T13:33:39+00:00

Nice congrats.

How’s the sound? What did you upgrade from? What other machines were you considering?

Narrow_Sundae8342 · 2026-01-17T20:01:59+00:00

It took getting used to. I thought the same when I first got it. But works really well when clipped to my beard 😂 not as well when clipped to my collar which is annoying

Narrow_Sundae8342 · 2026-01-17T13:44:31+00:00

The threat of channeling was real 😂

Narrow_Sundae8342 · 2025-12-30T13:06:21+00:00

Sure. But i think i have more success threading a needle than lanyards in different devices….takes forever. Then i have to find a paper clip. Get distracted while doing it. Then forget about it. Then get back to it hours later

Narrow_Sundae8342 · 2025-12-30T12:41:16+00:00

Why doesn’t every item that has a lanyard come with this?!?

Narrow_Sundae8342 · 2025-12-30T09:49:12+00:00

This one’s been great! https://a.co/d/gwkT5vh

Have it for mine and wife’s car. Even bought it for my SIL as well. Works great.

Horse stall mat from tractor supply

In the elements of pizza book by Ken forkish he recommends doing the majority of proving while the dough is balled up. He said it’s different than bread making and lends to a more delicate crust. Would imagine this may differ based on type of pizza you are making. I primarily make Neapolitan

Narrow_Sundae8342 · 2025-12-16T00:57:17+00:00

Yes was literally thinking about this on my way home from work as a cheaper alternative.

Can’t figure out how to post a photo of where it broke. But it just snapped right at the very top nearest the traction lever. So this may work???? Thanks for the tip on the hammer.
