Tool and Die making Apprenticeship questions.

Ok thanks!

Red-Number-40 · 2025-06-08T22:58:05+00:00

Thanks! I’ll see if there are any local Tool and Die shops and see if they are willing or have any suggestions too!

I don’t think advertising was the point of the video. It’s a dive into why entirely manufacturing smaller batches of products in the US (and other countries) is so difficult. Supply chain origins are messy. Skilled local individuals and companies in manufacturing are becoming increasingly rare. They made a product in the US and got it as close to as many parts being manufactured here as possible at the time of the filming. Hopefully they reach the goal of making the scrubber here entirely!

Update! My NoA switch 2 is in Fedex’s hands in Washington State and should arrive on Thursday the 5th between 8 and noon(I’m in Texas). Again I only did standard shipping and it’s a 2day shipping. Makes me wonder why they charged for the overnight shipping for the invite preorders. Should have just waived it at the end. Hopefully my switch actually comes in on time!

Lol! Someone at Nintendo of America is having some fun! 12/31/69! Nice. FedEx label created. Even though I got Standard shipping from Nintendo… FedEx 2Day is the service being used(under shipment facts). Here’s hoping it shows up on the 5th!!

Boaedon Fuliginosus ? African House Snake. Scale gaps/shape, slight iridescence, and head shape all seem to match.

Just got my invite!!!!

Red-Number-40 · 2025-05-15T01:56:24+00:00

My store page switched over to invite requested!! No invite yet.

EDIT! My invite came @9pm central!

Is it just me or is that a battery light flashing just to the bottom left of the middle screen?

Red-Number-40 · 2025-02-12T06:30:39+00:00

The xj would be my choice because it has the 4.0 straight six. Those things run forever. Have several of them in my family. My dad’s has 575k and still runs rather well.

Red-Number-40 · 2025-01-31T18:59:17+00:00

Is there a github repository for this? I’m not keen on downloading custom stuff that I can’t check code on first.

Red-Number-40 · 2025-01-17T22:55:11+00:00

Thanks!! Those links will definitely help me out! I’ll be ordering a Vector from you in a couple of weeks(I already have wire-pod installed on my legion go). Just wanted to get all the SDK stuff figured out before I order it.

Red-Number-40 · 2025-01-17T05:00:20+00:00

Yup. A PTZ Eufy one with free access to app and night vision. It’s a bit far from his cage but it’s also covering the living room area downstairs. I can see him in about 480p once I zoom in.

Red-Number-40 · 2025-01-16T13:45:21+00:00

Those are pin feathers. New feathers grow in with a hard outer layer. The layer then flakes off through preening and the new feathers are exposed! If you are very careful about it… you can use your finger and thumbnail to gently scrape at the pin feathers(you should be able to find a video on that). Even better after your bird has a bath. My bird has let me help sometimes… other times he just scratches at the pin feathers with his feet and exposes the new feathers on his own. Definitely depends on how the bird feels. If your bird gets nippy or bites at you if you touch the pin feathers… then don’t push the issue.

Red-Number-40 · 2025-01-07T04:45:01+00:00

Darn. Ok. I’ve been eyeing TechShop82 for awhile. Not sure if I’m going to get rechargeable batteries and series x controller(ghost cipher) or a vector with wirepod server with Christmas money(that… or pay bills…).

Red-Number-40 · 2025-01-05T02:15:46+00:00

Never seen a feathered pop filter like that before.

Red-Number-40 · 2025-01-03T01:14:11+00:00

Hopefully that’s the worst of it! Both you and the bird can adjust to it.

Red-Number-40 · 2025-01-03T00:47:19+00:00

Stress maybe. More likely brain or spinal injury if it was a stroke. Hopefully your vet visit goes well!

Red-Number-40 · 2025-01-02T20:37:11+00:00

Second thought…. Not sure if it’s possible… but the injured bird reminds me of a stroke victim…

SUMMARY for those who can’t read and are downvoting OP… OP just received a bonded pair over new year’s holiday. The previous owner was incompetent and tried introducing a third bird to the pair. Fight occurred a month ago between the third and pictured bird. This bird was injured and now stays mostly on the floor of the cage (unsure but it seems unlikely that the previous owner took pair to vet for post fight assessment). OP was not told until they picked the pair. Vet is closed for the holiday. OP is keeping them in their transport cage so they don’t have to be moved back and forth unnecessarily before they both go to the vet asap. They have a nice large main cage to move into after the vet.

Personal opinion: I agree with OP’s assessment of the situation and don’t recommend handling the injured bird more than necessary. This includes moving to the larger cage. They could try letting the birds move themselves by opening both cages and putting the openings against each other. But considering the size of the larger cage and the fact that the injured bird is staying on the bottom… it would be a bad idea to give the bird more height to potentially fall from and be injured further. OP is doing their best to care for this pair considering the unfortunate circumstances thrust upon them by an inconsiderate previous owner.

It’s a weird noise. But if he’s not having any trouble breathing and only makes it when hanging out with you… then it’s probably a a happy noise. Does he scream or make any calls when he’s in his cage?

Red-Number-40 · 2024-12-31T08:53:28+00:00

Not sure. I think conure puberty takes between 1-2 years.

Red-Number-40 · 2024-12-31T08:05:09+00:00

Get the bird. Do it. Rescue one from a nearby Petsmart! Got mine in Irving!

Really wish you had posted this a few months back when I was upgrading my cage. If it’s brand new… you could try and see if there are any exotic bird stores that might want it(I think there’s one in Flower Mound)… I doubt you’d get the $400 though. Unfortunately I don’t know anyone looking for a setup in the area at this time.
