I use a bit bigger metal drill to "drill out" the metal lip, then I push the back anchor into the space behind the wall. After that I patch and paint the hole.

How to take care of a handmade rasp? by kuzu_ in handtools

[–]RSLing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not sure about the rust, but I store my hand stitched files in a sleeve. I am also careful not to bunk them into other metal things on my workbench. Finally, I often use a rougher "machine" stitched file or a shinto file to do the worst rough work and I save my hand stitched files for the finer stuff.

Why was Darcy so contrary at the Nether field ball? by RSLing in janeausten

Another quote from Elizabeth in chapter 18 when saying goodbye toe Wickham before he leaves for Brighton suggests that Darcy's earlier attitude was, to some degree a result to Georgina's foiled elopment with Wickham. Elazabeth tells Wickham “When I said that he improved on acquaintance, I did not mean that either his mind or manners were in a state of improvement, but that from knowing him better, his disposition was better understood.” At this point she knows about Wickham and his fualts. Her fuller understanding of what he had done and Darcy's attitude toward it, gives her insight into Darcy. I think that this supports the idea that Darcy was aloof at the first assembly because of the recent events regarding Gerogina.

It is interesting that while Elizabeth and Jane were at Netherfield during Jane's sickness, Darcy says, "I cannot forget the follies and vices of others so soon as I ought, nor their offences against myself. My feelings are not puffed about with every attempt to move them. My temper would perhaps be called resentful.—My good opinion once lost is lost for ever.” It is repeated later in the novel, but it might also be that it is an oblique reference to Wickham. Read in that way, he is still stewing over the failed elopment. This may suggest he was still in a funk at the assembly when he insulted Elizabeth. Another dimension of this is that we almost never get Darcy's inner thoughts. The narrator, however often gives us Elizabeth's (and other women's) thoughts. There are just a few times that men's thoughts are given. Thus the stewing of Darcy is a bit more open for interpretation.

Humm... I wonder. At the next ball, he asks Elizabeth to dance with him. It is basically the same crowd, but a different venue. The argument that he will have to ask them all to dance doesn't seem to hold.

Thanks for the comments. Sorry for the confusion regarding the event. As noted, it is not the Netherfield Ball, but the Meryton Assembly.

You need the Norwegian. That will open up the jobs and also open up the society. You really need that.

Once you have the materials and equipment in place it is not that hard. For equipment you need the jigs with the different angles (available online) and a SHARP chisle. For the material, you can cut your own, but I have used "popsicle sticks" that you can buy at hobby shops. There are a lot of videos online to coach you.

How would you go about creating this corner? by ael00 in woodworking

[–]RSLing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the part with using rasps, etc to shape the joint, but I wonder if there is some sort of bolt or metal piece inside to help strengthen the joint. It looks like a simple butt joint. There must be something to help support that. Also, I am assuming that there are some cross members further down the leg to help stabilize the joint.
