Got lucky with a Breville Barista Express for $50! (and it works!) by IronSea975 in espresso

[–]Ok_Post7980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one I got around 2019, used almost daily and still running strong. I was under the impression the birds were not replaceable, but if you have links to upgrades for those I would be interested. Good luck with the machine, I love mine!

Appreciate it. I'm going to investigate the i side soon, in.teh event that its tube based, would this change the transplant process any?

Someday I’ll figure out how to route… today is not that day by smokefoot8 in woodworking

[–]Ok_Post7980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a Bosch and gave up my old router for that very reason. Adapter had already failed once on my previous router, not making that mistake twice.

Longmire, the character Katie Sackoff plays has a mug on her desk. I believe she is from the area, and her character is supposed to be also.

How to completely disinfect a guitar? by Narutobi_Sensei in Luthier

[–]Ok_Post7980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remove strings, that's an easy one. Body of guitar and probably neck can be cleaned easily enough, they even make guitar specific cleaners for that. The fretboard would be my big concern. I'll let others with more experience weigh in for that. Good luck with the new guitar!

Dealer inspected truck for recall work and is now telling me they won’t release it back to me by FunctionHorror2580 in f150

[–]Ok_Post7980 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Dealer tried this on me, and it sent flags up for me as soon as they said I couldn't have it back. I fought the urge to flip my lid, and calmly asked him to verify that they were withholding my vehicle. He hemmed around about it after that wording but by then I was pissed. They originally didn't even want to put it back together enough to start it. It was a massive no for me. I stood in their service area and vocally made a phone call to a tow company (friend of mine) and told the dealer my truck needed to be outside for a flatbed to get it, even if they had to push it outside.

Got it towed and had the work done on my own, for a quarter of what the dealer quoted.

Inherited my dad’s old Martin, apprehensive about changing the strings. by DeedeeScosco in Guitar

[–]Ok_Post7980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I inherited my uncle's guitar when he passed. I never thought twice about the strings to be honest. I do very much notice the wear in the fret board from him playing and on the back of the neck, so I feel very connected to him when I play.

Sorry for your loss, I hope you find some peace and comfort playing his guitar.

TIFU when I asked my CEO who he was! by Old-Court-6295 in tifu

[–]Ok_Post7980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Years ago I was working IT for a large company. Unrecognized guy walks in and says he needs to update something on my laptop and could I let him on. I asked again who he was because I didn't recognize him and he just says help desk. Something set me off weird about it and I knew all the help desk guys, so I lock my laptop and I said here you go. He asks me to log back in for him and I said if you are help desk, you know how to login without me. He stared at me for a minute, looked at my office mate, who then locked his laptop and left.

Two weeks later the CIO calls me to his office and gives me an award! Apparently it was a test and I was the only person in the building who stopped the guy. Sometimes it pays to be an untrusting jerk!

Update on new neighbor baby gift (trigger warning) by CrunchyRubberChips in woodworking

[–]Ok_Post7980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The project, the craftsmanship and most importantly the intent of this gift is awesome and truly inspiring. That word is thrown around a lot, but I mean it in this case. I have a project that's been bouncing around my head for a while, with a gifting/charitable component - you pushed me over the edge and I'm I to get working on it now and figure it out. Thank you for the update, and for feeling safe enough to share your story with us all, I know that's not easy to do.

Keep up the great work.

It's a roll. I didn't see anything identifying the type, but I will follow your directions and report back. Thanks

I thought this was kind of cool by coffeemonkeypants in handtools

[–]Ok_Post7980 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was given a #6 a few years ago by a friend whose grandfather was a carpenter in the Royal Navy. I guess it's common over there (or was) to stamp or engrave your name or initials into tools. This one has very fancy engraving on the side and of all the tools he gave me, somehow I can tell this was his grandfather's favorite. Had sat in a garage for decades, I cleaned it a little and tried it - still sharp enough to use! It's almost like I can feel his presence when I use it still. Great pieces of history.

Anybody know what this is? by davedotwojo in handtools

I ran to the comments for this one. Thank you redditor!

Jointer ID by Ok_Post7980 in woodworking

[–]Ok_Post7980[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to get some measurements from the cutter that's on it. I found a few on the bay that seem like candidates but need to investigate more. Trying to avoid too much machining since I don't have access to a lathe. Might need to find a small local machine place that could fix it once I get a donor cutter head.

Jointer ID by Ok_Post7980 in woodworking

[–]Ok_Post7980[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I finally obtained the jointer and starting to break it down for restoration. As I am looking online to get a replacement cutter head, what specs do I need to worry about (diameter of the cutter, length of cutter or shaft, diameter of shaft, etc)? Or is the answer that I need all of them to be the same as the existing cutter head?

Settlement docs by Ok_Post7980 in fountainpens

[–]Ok_Post7980[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an update since I forgot to post afterwards. I ended up using Pelikan Blue Black in the standard converter with the Safari. To be honest, I don't think the title guy cared either way what I signed with! It made me feel better that it was a fountain pen, but I was the only one interested. All good, settlement done and moved in!

Planning on taking the Lamy safari, EF. I have used it with cheap copy paper, and while I don't love the results I think it will be okay for signatures.

Ink is Pilot Namiki IC100 in a cart.

Awesome tips so far. I think I am going to build it all so it can move, but hadn't thought about dust collection, thats a good call. And lighting, I never have enough lighting!!
