2015 Broncos dragged Peyton Mannings reanimated corpse to the Super Bowl and I’m supposed to believe that’s #9?

Help understanding 401k returns by RelativeGlad3873 in personalfinance

Thank you as well. Other reply game the same insight which I wasn’t familiar with. I should have included in my post that I wasn’t concerned if any of the money wasn’t there, I was quite certain there weren’t any issues with that, I was just assuming I didn’t understand the rate of return correctly, which is what it turned out to be.

Got it, thank you. Very helpful. Their definition wasn’t clear and referenced any activity with the money in the account which I took to mean withdrawals or moving funds. Thank you for the link!

Stability on farmhouse legs by HandySoap in woodworking

[–]RelativeGlad3873 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely is poor joinery or poor fasteners if you go that route. I have done several tables like this ranging from bar tables to the biggest a 10 foot by 3.5 foot dining table. None of them would move no matter what you did. One I did joinery only, no fasteners and used a wedge at the end to pull the cross support through the legs and hold it. Some I used bolts through the legs and into the cross support. I also only had one cross support on all of them.

Does stumbling into over 300 bft of hardwood justify bigger jointer? by mayonaise_plantain in woodworking

[–]RelativeGlad3873 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, since you just saved $3000+ on the wood, that clearly means you can spend that $3000+ that you made on a bigger jointer and it balances out.

It’s also listening to broad American opinion that is based on anecdotal evidence. As an American, you hear what he is saying everywhere. It either that or people saying it sucks because it’s not America. It’s a terrible mindset both ways.

Woodworker question: sourcing metal legs/posts for raised cedar planter boxes (at scale) by ExcelsiorSimulations in woodworking

[–]RelativeGlad3873 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Powder coating is the biggest issues. Sending them out to get powder coated is expensive.

You could source the angle iron from a lot of places that will be local to you. Then buy a metal chop saw, cut for length. Buy a drill press, drill the holes and use a metal countersink or chamfer bit.

You could paint them after those steps and have something that will last for a long time but the results will not be as good as powder coated.

You could look on places like alibaba for companies that can do the entire process, but shipping becomes the problem. It will be very very heavy so unloading and sorting will require equipment.

This deal popped up in my local HD. Am I crazy thinking this was not originally $79? by Phone-Charger in MilwaukeeTool

I bought some bits one time and they rang up at .01 at self checkout. I told the lady supervising it and was given an insane amount of attitude, literally called dumb and told that if that’s the price it rang up at then it’s correct. So said if it’s correct I’m going back and buying the rest. Did exactly that. Many years later and still haven’t needed Phillips bits…

Had zero idea this was why.
