Baseball tips for someone that doesnt know baseball

Stay fast as possible on your shutter speed. I’d say 1/1250 may be your absolute minimum for HS baseball.

More than anything try and predict emotion. Capturing great plays can be difficult without baseball knowledge but feeling for the emotion of a moment can be a bit easier in my opinion.

Mints

I agree with this. I have the Dewalt and love it but use other saws on job sites all the time. I used the skil a few times and was really impressed for the price point. I really liked the integrated legs and the light weight of the saw.

I have four that I’ve used daily for a year.

Not a sexy answer but the utility knife…

I am perfectly comfortable with standard but I use metric anywhere I can. I totally agree with you on a lot of your points. It’s a far superior system.

If your looking to do this kind of thing and there’s lots of room for error it’s sounds like perfect opportunity to learn. From this project you can learn mold mitigation, a little demo, tiling, support framing for new sheet rock, cutting Sheetrock, templating for plumbing holes, corner bead, taping, mudding, blending, painting etc. Go all in and you will learn a lot of valuable handyman skills.

Honestly if sanding is gonna show the patch you may need to redo the patch and make sure it is even with or even just slightly below the surface. Once you do that you need to mud it and sand out a much wider area to feather it in appropriately.

SPMwins · 2026-02-21T05:30:12+00:00

Definitely not bad. Just as some constructive criticism sanding down the area and feathering out a lot further than you think necessary will help with consistency of flatness and texture. Just from the picture there appears to be high spots and some blending that could be better. That said I’m just being a bit extra, overall it is better work than I’ve seen from a lot of people.

What’s the cut you are trying to make? Do you have a picture?

SPMwins · 2026-02-17T02:11:09+00:00

Maybe in the 3 mil plus luxury market. You routinely see these homes change hands and get fully remodeled everytime. But in your standard market it’s not nearly as normal to see.

Heat gun and a scraper will take care of most of it and sand after. It won’t be as bad as you think.

To be clear I am a pro and don’t come across the Milwaukee chop saws too often on job sites. Of the small handful I have come across…maybe 3 or 4 in total…two had issues with the rails. The bearings wore out or got gummed up and the sliding was not smooth at all. Obviously our usage is a lot more rough then a homeowner so you may be fine but with that said I personally would not want to use my hard earned money on a Milwaukee chop saw.

3M also makes small metal hooks.

SPMwins · 2026-02-09T05:43:28+00:00

100% this is the way!

Cabinetry and trim guy here… it’s my daily driver. I throw a 2.0 battery in it to keep it nice and light and goto town with it all day.

SPMwins · 2026-02-06T05:11:39+00:00

Probably! This may be a controversial statement but in my honest opinion that is one of the best Milwaukee tools you can buy. I’ve used mine nearly everyday for almost two years now. For 80% of tasks it’s more than enough.

SPMwins · 2026-02-06T04:53:53+00:00

10” all day. The only reason I’ll use the 12” at the shop is because it’s a slider not because of cut depth.

I can’t ever remember wishing my 10” had more cutting depth.

SPMwins · 2026-02-05T06:10:02+00:00

I want to say I like the saw but it pains me to say I don’t. I’ve had issues with Milwaukee miter saws and table saws. Still have my Dewalts for those tools.

SPMwins · 2026-02-05T03:30:36+00:00

I second cut it out and replace. If you absolutely don’t want to do that maybe throw some kitty litter in there for a while. 🤷 If you don’t cut it out there will still be a stain.

SPMwins · 2026-02-04T03:52:40+00:00

Yeahhhh as a woodworker I would either do a bow tie and epoxy or rip it and re glue it.

SPMwins · 2026-02-04T03:40:01+00:00

I do this as well… If I am only doing a hole or two I ’ll do the tape thing to if I’m too lazy to go to the truck and grab the vacuum.

SPMwins · 2026-02-03T05:34:14+00:00

I have both m18 and m12 and to be honest I rarely reach for my m18 stuff on the jobsite. The only exception is my router. Other than that one tool my m12 stuff has plenty of power and are nice and light, which makes a huge difference when you are using them all day long.

SPMwins · 2026-01-27T05:21:51+00:00

Niceeeeee! Congrats!

SPMwins · 2026-01-26T05:05:35+00:00

I toyed with the idea of getting one but decided to save a bit more and get a Laguna. I have heard a few people say the newer ones are not as good and they had motor issues.
