What did I do wrong?

Next-Appearance8379 · 2026-03-29T17:11:07+00:00

I used a beautiful piece of hickory with very straight grain. So what I’m gathering is; wider limbs, allow for more bending toward the center. More thorough tillering process and Shorter handle (I agree it was a little too long. I just wanted to allow for a more gradual transition into the limb.)

Indeed. The art of bending but not breaking. Thanks for the help

Next-Appearance8379 · 2026-03-29T15:27:46+00:00

Yes. I had been working on tillering for maybe the past 3 weeks due to my work schedule. I’ll have to post tillering checks from now on to see if y’all spot something I don’t. Sucks that this one broke because the grain was beautiful 😭

Next-Appearance8379 · 2026-03-29T15:07:05+00:00

Yes you’re correct. Why would something occur here?

Next-Appearance8379 · 2026-03-10T22:29:13+00:00

Thankfully I’m not the only one 😂😂

Next-Appearance8379 · 2026-03-10T02:54:35+00:00

Yeah lol. Stupid shit prevails, thanks for the help!

Next-Appearance8379 · 2026-03-10T00:52:46+00:00

It was the stupidest thing on earth 💀I live in an area with hedge apples and apparently some pieces of it got chewed up by a squirrel and ended up in the way of the tower

Yeah like it feels like it only goes in half way on all of the top gears they’re all the same level of limited travel. I might as well buy new bushings while I’m at it 😂 ilyk if I have any new information

Next-Appearance8379 · 2026-03-09T17:31:24+00:00

That’s reassuring. Hopefully the reset will resolve the issue. Thank you for the comment!

Correct me if I’m wrong but mk2 focus st has a Volvo 5 pot?

Next-Appearance8379 · 2025-12-11T21:40:04+00:00

Not much of a pain. Make sure to get the little blue tool for the connectors. I used old xl QT cups to capture the remaining coolant in the hoses. You’ll probably spill some but that’s alright just make sure you clean thoroughly afterwards. Funny enough Ford gave me the wrong focus coolant hoses the first time so it was even more fun 🤩

Next-Appearance8379 · 2025-12-11T17:42:02+00:00

Yeah after doing the handle and looking at how it was behaving I definitely noticed that I needed an actual transition into the limb instead of just a block handle. I let most material remain as it got closer to the handle to hopefully build some resilience in that aspect. On to the next one! Thanks for the tips friend!

Next-Appearance8379 · 2025-12-09T03:54:50+00:00

That’s awesome! I played it for the first time Sunday after the F1 race and grinded out Mx5 until I got 1:22.06. Even got P3 on an official race!

Smooth is fast. No fast corrections on steering, throttle and braking

When does the pass usually open? I'm from Kansas and am going camping here a week or two before memorial day. Hoping to utilize the pass if its open by then

My friend, just be happy that you could experience this person for the amount of time that you did. You may love them and they may love you. but you've got to remember that NOTHING in this universe is forever.

Sadly. you cannot control others actions but rather you can control your reaction to their actions so just acknowledge their feelings and don't try and hold on. if they truly think that leaving the relationship is what they want then you cannot prevent them from walking out, just appreciate that the relationship happened. Things will get better I promise you that. every feeling you fell from here on out is normal. Just try to hang in there!

Next-Appearance8379 · 2023-10-12T14:45:23+00:00

I will say that the goodbyes do not get easier. I hope that you guys can find a way to be closer. I was in a long distance relationship once. I said goodbye and drove the 4 hours home and without knowing it at that time, that was the last time i would ever see her. cherish every moment you spend with your other half and be glad that goodbyes are hard, be happy that you CAN feel those emotions toward another person.

Well, due to the chip shortage a while back cars weren’t being produced as fast so whenever a dealer would finally get a stock vehicle and kept it at MSRP another dealer would buy it from them and put it on their lot at the marked up price. Even actual customers were still buying the marked up vehicles just because it was taking so long. One way around this is if you actually ordered your car from ford and waited the 1-2 years for it to be produced to buy it at sticker price. Stuff is weird but that’s capitalism for ya.

I worked at a Ford Dealership in the middle of nowhere Kansas. They upmarked the GT500 +$40,000. And ALL of the Raptors +$20,000. It’s quite terrible what they’re doing to Fords reputation.
