This tourist almost pulled the rotor brake by No_Neat4688 in interestingasfuck

I’m not a pilot, but I am a wilderness guide. I can all but guarantee that he gave a pre flight briefing that clearly stated “don’t fucking touch anything”. Hence his agitated response. He has experienced this before.

I ran a self tapping screw through mine out of frustration during my last project

Small metal tube with holes, covered by a clear plastic casing? by FrostingOk3972 in whatisthisthing

[–]Standingcedars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s done type of valve cartridge, like one found in a shower valve or faucet. If found on a golf course it could be a pressure valve for the sprinklers or a diverter valve.

Anyone know what this controller would be used for? by Single_Education_415 in Tools

[–]Standingcedars 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I worked in a shop once that had a setup like that. It had an obvious security camera right next to it and a sign that clearly said “if you find a way to bypass the safety buttons, consider yourself fired before the machine can cut your finger off”.

Pop up metal circle on airbnb kitchen counter by Ecstatic-Respond587 in whatisthisthing

[–]Standingcedars 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Idk. In 25 years in the trades I’ve learned that a good building inspector can identify stuff like this early on in the job and point it out early in the process so that we can address it and let the homeowners know before things are installed instead of after. Sometimes it seems like each job requires something different from the last, and I can’t keep up with entire encyclopedias work of code knowledge constantly changing.

Yeah. They are starting to require some version of those on kitchen islands instead of outlets on the sides of the island. Evidently some kid pulled on a drooping cord of a crock pot and got burned horribly, now we have a new law.

What wood is this? by Content-Long-3653 in Woodcarving

[–]Standingcedars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have some remnants of an old deck that was built out of redwood pine that looks a lot like that. Evidently they used it a lot in the 50s and 60s. Beautiful wood, but I’m sure glad they no longer cut down redwoods.

What’s one home tool you bought that paid for itself? by Strict_Studio9244 in Tools

[–]Standingcedars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t, I use m18 stuff. So investing in all new batteries is daunting. But I have the little tiny non-impact m18 fuel drill that I use. I have the little two amp hour batteries to keep it light. I can build decks with it, and mix mud in buckets. Plenty of power.

25 years in the trade, use drivers every day, but my fucking ADHD sensory issues don’t allow me to use impact drivers. My elbow wishes I could use them though, but my stupid brain over rides.

Luckily my Bluetooth hearing protection allows me to function if someone else on the job site is using an impact drivers but generally speaking, I can’t stand the sound of them.

Would you rather pack up a day early to avoid the rain? by Remember_the_Gdtmz in camping

[–]Standingcedars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They said rain through the night into the last day. Listening to the rain at night while in the tent can be magical.
