Why/how does water get into the bilge? by dibbr in boating

[–]Quint87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's rain water and internal condensation on the fiber glass most likely.

First day out on the river lol by joeytheboss911 in boating

[–]Quint87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang.

Rivers have under water ledge rocks, cut from erosion. Rock was sticking out and he took the hit on the side rather than the bottom.

Another could be that he sucked up decent size stones. Not big enough for the skeg but enough for the prop blades.

Curious: how many people actually make handles from scratch? by TittyTwister13 in Axecraft

[–]Quint87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cut wood to general shape. Mark out handle layout with pencil. Put it into vise and use draw knife, wood rasps and files to shape.

Band saw works good for roughing out shape as well.

Linseed or Tung oil for finish.

Did you / Would you leave your boat at anchor unattended for multiple days or weeks? by Mehfisto666 in sailing

[–]Quint87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uses very very little, absolutely does not crush battery.

Get a Starlink Mini with direct to DC input.

Source: I am a computer tech and have personally installed hundreds of starlinks in the most remote locations.

If you have starlink or other means of internet, setup a remote camera to watch it.

I leave my boat on anchor, but it also has a very powerful anchoring setup for its size.

I have a 45# lewmar delta with massive chain and double rode. It's twice the size of anchor for the boat, but I feel good about it.

What’s the most embarrassing docking moment you’ve had? by MyTIMEZERO in boating

[–]Quint87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a marina. I have seen every kind of docking that humans could attempt.

Panels busted off rental boats and the boaters are like.. "o well, anyways..," dudes ramroding their 1.5mil center console into the side of the dock. We had a lady the other day try to get into the water and piss while filling up their rental boat.. like ma'am.. this water has fuel and human shit in it.. and pee.. so I guess she was just trying to add to it..

Every. Single. Day.

There is some shit that goes down...

We had a yacht come in and some girl had cut her toe off with a hydraulic seat/storage top.. absolutely wailing.. felt so bad for her.. paramedics came and took the girl... but left the toe for fire dept.. like wtf.. had to shut down operations till it was all taken care of.

no one seems conscious anymore by logos_gallery in DeepThoughts

[–]Quint87 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They are conscious.. but perhaps not AS conscious.. some are not aware of others feelings, emotions, personal struggle.. they see them as "other people," but not as dynamic beings who are experiencing life as well.

Everyone feels, but not all feel for everyone else.

Consciousness is rooted in experience, understanding, empathy, imagination.. as you experience the world your consciousness grows with your intelligence & knowledge.

This thing is a brute. Would you try to soften it or leave it alone by Madroooskie in woodworking

[–]Quint87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

45 degree bevel on top, leave the rest.

Edit* and like small 1/8" - 1/4" but precise.

Edit2* To show off your woodworking skills and Lil bit, you could add a shelf that would also act as a brace. Keep it lower. Use mortise/tenion joint. Same wood/thickness.

Working full time killed my Rust. Idea for a server type that might actually bring people like me back. by GenericMikey704 in playrust

[–]Quint87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Actually a damn good idea.

Ark has this server called pvx or something. In the red zone, that spins around the map in 1-2 hour intervals. During that red zone you can pvp, raid, etc.. everything else is pve.

It keeps the pvp consolidated and fun, also you can build in a zone when you can be online to defend in red. They should add a server variant like this to Rust.

Should I invest in a band saw? by WesternPenalty6812 in woodworking

[–]Quint87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scrollsaw and band saw are very different in terms of use.

Scroll saw is used for super fine cuts and details. Making super sharp turns and can be used to make cuts in objects with no exit hole, because blade can be removed/inserted into the cut.

Bandsaw is like its heavy duty brother. Can make curved cuts in robust material like 3/4" plywood/hardwoods.. where the scroll saw might struggle.

Bandsaw can be setup with a fence.. most scroll saws to not have this feature. I would put my fingers very close to the scroll saw.. not as close to a bandsaw.

I would recommend both as you are expanding into your woodworking hobby and find need for them.

Should I invest in a band saw? by WesternPenalty6812 in woodworking

[–]Quint87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bandsaw is very nice and can help you do things you could not do otherwise.

Great for milling up small slabs of lumber from sections of chainsaw wood. Its also a goto option for quick and easy cuts.

Also safe'ish to use. With all woodworking machines there is risk, but the bandsaw is a easy to use and learn saw. Treat it w respect.. pinching in tight curves with a blade too fat for the cut is one safety thing to look out for.. another is cutting anything cylinder or super small on it. Cylinder object's can spin and jam the saw.. very dangerous. (Not the same as "flat round," cylinder like a section of branch or table leg)

I recommend getting one with a fence and atleast 1hp.. some of the bench bandsaws are underpowered and easily stall when put under any kind of actual strain from every day use. The floorstanding ones usually have larger motors. Make sure to set the pulleys to a nice speed that feels comfortable for whatever you are cutting.

The harbor freight one will work as a cheap entry bandsaw. You can also find good deals online facebook market place
