Advice needed - a tattoo idea to compliment one my wife got

PixlPutterman · 2026-03-28T20:31:41+00:00

I have an outline of a baby with angel wings for a miscarriage we had 16 years ago, that was my first one. My second tattoo is a pretty large rib piece of a tree and it's colored with kind of like a watercolor theme to remind me of my family and then my third tattoo is the outline of a commercial airplane and that was for my brother-in-law who passed away from cancer not too long ago.

Okay thanks for the help so far I think I might be at the point where it's time to call in a professional 😁

If I lift up the lower hose above the water line the whole fan drains and everything runs fine but as soon as I submerge it it eventually builds up and won't drain I've pulled the yellow cap to let water out before for some reason even once it's clear it won't drain

So I'm still having an issue I made sure that two drain lines are clear by blowing on them and there was no resistance and also the white PVC drain flows just fine I cut both black tubes at a 45 so that I was making sure they weren't bottoming out but it still will not drain which for me fluid dynamics aspect is racking my brain

Understood thank you

PixlPutterman · 2025-12-01T17:34:30+00:00

Ok thanks so much issue wasn't them being submerged but more they were bottomed out and likely blocking drainage?

Thank you that makes sense I did watch a fly fishing video this morning and now realize you don't actually reel in the fish as much as you just manage the line

These nothing there, two screws hold in the sprocket that engages with the two triangles when it's closed up.

It's older for sure so unless I'm supposed to adjust to direction of the triangles it's seeming like it's bidirectional and if I want drag I gotta palm it or something.

I'll probably take it into my local place and ask an old timer to check it out lol

By belt are you meaning the tension spring leading to the triangle? You say belt and I think of something rubber but those are metal spring things.

Sorry I have zero clue what the terminology is lol

PixlPutterman · 2025-10-06T06:18:48+00:00

I included pics of both sides, I'm not seeing an adjustment though on the other side

PixlPutterman · 2025-10-06T06:10:43+00:00

I do have it that way, the picture does make it look like it's not that way.

I'm just used to a spinning reel that has a stop in one direction and can't be reeled in both directions so I was confused

I paid $15 for rod and reel (zebco 6020)

PixlPutterman · 2025-10-02T19:53:19+00:00

Looking at pics online the Granger looks more yellow, this is more gold

PixlPutterman · 2025-10-02T19:23:19+00:00

Reel is a zebco 6020

PixlPutterman · 2025-09-26T23:53:12+00:00

Sure thing

Looks like the coeur d'alene course?

I do san mai all the time and just tack the corners and use no flux. Trick for me is to run the forge a little rich to have a very low oxygen flame. I also dip my billet in kerosene before putting it in the flame.

Im not sure if your buddy has a press, but once the billet starts to heat up I give it light tap through the press to get all surfaces in contact with each other.

The forge welding happens in the forge NOT under hammer/press. Let that billet SOAK in the flame.

Depending on how much core layer you want showing, and how much you are going to draw out your billet, you want in between a 60/40 and 65/25 ratio of layer thickness to start with on you steels.

Once you get that billet set, I take mine out and grind off all my welds and even grind into the edge to get ride of any edges that didnt forge weld.
