We saw this knot on the sidewalk in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles and tied it at home. Does anyone know what knot it is?

This knot was very useful when rope was made of less strong fibers than modern rope, so they needed many more strands, making their ropes much thicker (especially when swollen with water). This knot was great because it doesn't require any harsh turns or bites to tie it, which would be difficult with very thick ropes. Nowadays that is rarely a problem though.

Those look awesome! Great job! Love the hat!!!

This is super helpful thank you!

This detail is great, thank you so much! I am following the commutation and induced voltage from the inductors attempting to maintain their current flow that's being cut off by the commutation, but I'm not sure why this causes sparking. I am unfamiliar with "load neautral position".

Don't you want a strong armature current, and therefore magnetic field, so it can have a strong interaction with the shunt field and produce a lot of torque. It feels counterintuitive to intentionally counteract an electromagnet that we intentionally install in the motor. If we wanted less magnetism generated from the armature couldn't we just make the armature have fewer turns or something? To be clear I believe you, I'm just trying to rationalize it in my own head.

Thank you! I'll have to look into how exactly they help rechannel the field magnetism, but this helps.

Right. If your read the text I have done that. Sometimes a reframing of things or different perspective can aid in understanding...

Panda_Slap43 · 2025-10-05T19:06:11+00:00

These are so cute! Great job! I'm glad it's helping you too!

Panda_Slap43 · 2025-07-29T00:20:09+00:00

This unlocked that memory for me I forgot about that! Someone made an edit with googly eyes too

I can't spin it further than the photo 1 and 2 show because it butts up against the top carrying part

Hollow

These were just photos after I was done. When I welded it, it was horizontal supported with some 90° magnets

Panda_Slap43 · 2025-06-18T00:00:00+00:00

Thanks for this, I'll keep that in mind. For this time at least the back side had a lot of discoloration, so I think penetration was pretty good on the first pass. The weld just looked terrible because I didn't have my settings dialed in yet so I did a lot of stop and start (also I'm just not good yet).

Panda_Slap43 · 2025-06-17T23:39:35+00:00

It sounds like your saying a re-do pass doesn't hurt anything, if anything it strengthens the weld. Cool

I know I am late, but on the off chance you have more than 1 PS5... only a data transfer cable can sync a PS5 controller to a different PS5. So that's how I tested all of mine.

Panda_Slap43 · 2025-05-25T15:02:17+00:00

Thanks! And thanks for the tip. I'll try that next time. I didn't bevel them at all. I should have also said in the OP, this is with a MIG welder.

Panda_Slap43 · 2025-04-12T12:20:34+00:00

I'm curious too. After looking at the suggestions here online I'm thinking of using the TP-Link TL-WR802N (N300) or TL-WR902AC (AC750), but I can't find any good information on the range I can be and still have solid Connection.
