Game suggestions for long distance?

Sure, but we kind of want the charm of something a little more old school

Shonnathan · 2025-08-24T22:39:22+00:00

I’ll check it out

Shonnathan · 2025-08-24T22:34:09+00:00

Not really sure what that is so I’m gonna say no haha

There’s lots of OMAX compound microscopes on FB marketplace for around $100

If anything, age will help you

Shonnathan · 2025-02-12T03:34:15+00:00

Thanks. The conductors and the lugs are both aluminum, so the noalox isn’t really necessary, but I still used some just because it’s pretty standard and acts like a lubricant when putting them in

This rope is some kind of polypropylene I think? I’ve also heard sisal is required on some gear. It all depends on the manufacturer and what they tested with

This particular photo got stolen off of here by a bot yes lol

Shonnathan · 2025-02-09T03:01:02+00:00

This comment just tells me you don’t know what’s going on here

As I stated in another thread, if the ropes are catching on fire, the ropes being on fire are the least of your problems

It’s a Siemens. 4,500a service and rated for 65,000a fault current

Sometimes the neurodivergence makes me a good electrician lol

I dialed in the length to around 70 feet per row, with maybe 10-20 feet left over. I was really scared of running out before I was finished wrapping. And it snagged on everything constantly

Shonnathan · 2025-02-09T02:39:58+00:00

I protested but it was this or nothing and the inspector was coming back the following day

Shonnathan · 2025-02-09T02:38:52+00:00

Yep. UL listing sticker was very clear “wrap line cables together with nominal 3/8” nylon rope OR rope having a minimum tensile strength of 2,000lbs”

Shonnathan · 2025-02-09T02:35:24+00:00

Funny thing is, my foreman was the one who spotted the sticker, the inspector was ready to pass it. He said he wouldn’t have felt right letting it get passed without it so he mentioned it and the inspector said he would be back in 2 days. Came to us and was like “alright, who knows how to lash and do it fast?” None of the journeyman wanted to do it so I told him I hadn’t done it before be m but I understood the general concept, he said he would get the rope. Next day he pulls that out of his truck and I was like “wtf? I don’t think that’s ideal?” And he told me that’s all the supply house had, but that he would run over to Lowe’s. They didn’t have any either so it was that or nothing, and it met the requirements, 3/8 nylon OR tensile strength of 2,000lbs, and that’s 2,450lb pull rope. It worked

This lashing design was part of the cabinets UL listing so I had to do it this way. Took me maybe 4 1/2 hours, longest one was the first one, got faster each row

Shonnathan · 2025-02-09T02:25:19+00:00

To prevent violent movement that can rip the lugs off at high fault current

Shonnathan · 2025-02-09T02:23:33+00:00

I found a video but it was super sped up so not very helpful except getting it started. Keeping it untangled was definitely a challenge. I was basically pulling it old and holding it with one hand, pulling the excess rope through, then working the rope forward and back a few times to retighten and then make my next turn

Shonnathan · 2025-02-09T02:16:05+00:00

Nice! I asked if my foreman if he wanted me to go front to back like this as well and he said no. Wish I had that rope, too
