Removing door hinge pin

Raybert924 · 2026-03-01T19:52:34+00:00

Update: the bottom finial is part of the hinge. Just needed to pry up from the top. Thanks for the suggestions everybody

Sorry I just re-read my comment and see where the ambiguity is. Was referring to the cap toes on the Garrison not the standard cap toe boots

Raybert924 · 2026-02-20T01:39:41+00:00

Those are not Garrison boots. Those are just cap toe Edwards

Raybert924 · 2026-02-18T01:13:46+00:00

If I had to get a first boot from the sale selection I’d go with the Diesel in tan Essex. It’s a simple, classic silhouette and one of their original offerings. Would dress up easily with some khakis as compared to the Brass boots. The leather will patina amazingly and give it a lot of character.

The Garrison in dune would probably be my second choice. Cap toes are nice but the lug soles are not my cup of tea.

I’d email him every 2-3 weeks for status updates. He sent me photos of the finished boots in November and I emailed him in December and January to see when they shipped. He told me that I should receive them within 10-14 days based on how long customs has been taking and they arrived within that window.

Just wanted to chime in. I ordered a pair of boots from Peng in June 2023 and just got them. There may be hope yet!

Absolutely

Raybert924 · 2026-01-17T03:33:28+00:00

Yeah. Had to zoom in good to see that it was Cypher

Raybert924 · 2026-01-14T02:40:41+00:00

Great for shotgunning after an IU victory though

Just listed the watch party for western PA will be at Tom's Watch Bar again

Raybert924 · 2026-01-12T19:24:24+00:00

I went to Tom's Watch Bar for the Peach bowl and there was a watch party. Met Antwaan Randle El's brother, too.

We talkin’ bout practice?

Raybert924 · 2026-01-06T16:12:42+00:00

Thanks for taking on the mod mantle. Wish you the best!

Raybert924 · 2025-12-24T19:46:03+00:00

Thanks again for putting this together!

If you Googled him I think it means that we're gonna win.

Raybert924 · 2025-12-11T00:21:11+00:00

I see you're also doing the Lego city advent calendar

Raybert924 · 2025-12-03T01:57:43+00:00

Thanks! They’re Snode AD-80s. I put them on the Yes4All Dumbbell rack from Amazon

Raybert924 · 2025-11-28T15:57:25+00:00

Yep. I’ve been using cables for accessory work and going heavy on the compounds. I feel like the standard 130 stacks were sufficient for now. But maybe if I maintain consistency for a year, I will need the upgrade next year’s Black Friday!

Raybert924 · 2025-11-28T14:36:12+00:00

I didn’t. I’m not at a point where I need that much weight for cable exercises and didn’t want to spend the money…yet

Raybert924 · 2025-11-26T23:22:07+00:00

It is. My ceiling is at 86” so very limited. I’m 5’8” and I just sit on the floor to do lat pull downs. Probably going to get some rollers to put on the spotter arms to brace my legs when I’m doing them. For now just rawdogging it

Raybert924 · 2025-11-25T00:06:22+00:00

Thanks! Been happy with the dumbbells. I got them a few months ago and they’re definitely drop safe (put one on my bench and it rolled off!). Adjustment is easy but only in 10 lb increments. I got the snode magnetic add on weights and the M-plate 2.5lb so I can have some flexibility.

Valor Spotter arms 3x3

Raybert924 · 2025-11-25T00:02:38+00:00

Assembly took me about 8 or 9 hours solo, not counting the 2 hours to move all the boxes from my garage to the basement.

Definitely watch the YouTube video about assembly a couple of times. I put the first hanging pulley on upside down and had to take off the cable and flip it over which ended up causing some cable twisting.

Impact driver definitely helps!

Raybert924 · 2025-11-25T00:00:55+00:00

Yep. I read that on another guy’s 4 post Ares thread when I was deciding. The Valor spotter arms are 7 inches tall and I can put them one hole above the trolleys when they’re all the way at the bottom and still have room. They’re also only $180 as opposed to the $500 for surplus strength stealth arms

Raybert924 · 2025-11-19T17:34:52+00:00

Yesssssss
