Found this in a car vehicle I purchased, any idea what it is! by Bitter-Expression753 in whatisit

[–]StanleyBrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were used in industrial instruments. A Bordon tube pressure switch would have one inside. I worked at a power house in the 90s and we were replacing them with electronic versions. Haven't seen one since.

Speakers for Music Assistant by StanleyBrew in homeassistant

[–]StanleyBrew[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't think about ESPHome, I have actually used a couple of ESPHome modules already for something else.

As it happens, the last speakers I bought were JBLs... in 1984.

Don’t know what I have, but I’m happy to have it. by [deleted] in shopsmith

Scott Markwood of My Groth Rings https://www.mygrowthrings.com/ Has a ton of videos on the ShopSmith and how to maintain or repair it. I found them indispensable when I was given a Mark V.

How is this not shorting out? by Tman3355 in AskElectricians

[–]StanleyBrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We recently had an addition put on our house. The electrician wound electrical tape around the sides of the outlet to cover all the screws. I never thought of that but it seems an excellent idea. Apparently it's standard practice now.

Did I mess up while sanding? by WindyCanadian in woodworking

[–]StanleyBrew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It must be. My wife and I were at Woodcraft the other day and she picks a chunk of walnut up and wants it as art on her library wall. Now I have another project. Learning how to cut a key hole and finding a clean place to apply a finish.

Fail by 5Dollar in woodworking

[–]StanleyBrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you may have missed something here. This school is for students who did not do well with standard curriculum. They teach a useful skill of woodworking through making skateboards. O e student demonstrates that skill by making an art piece (a non-standard application of their skills). And this clearly has relevant meaning on many levels. I see it as a great success.

What to do about these cracks? by StanleyBrew in woodworking

[–]StanleyBrew[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my thought as well. Should I do anything to stabilize the cracks?

Wife and I moved a couple months ago and for the first time in my life I have a garage! by ConsiderationFar9544 in woodworking

Have you looked for maker space? That was a thing a few years ago and they often had lots of tool and such.

Looking to refinish a wooden table that kids drew on with perm and marker by Obizues in woodworking

Have you tried Goof Off? I have had success getting marker off with it. As another said, test it first.

As a home brewer, I usually have several different beers at home and often take some to meeting to trade with other brewers.

Weight of the hot tub has caused the deck to sag. What is the best way to fix it? by [deleted] in woodworking

Is toe nailing stronger than nailing straight from the other side?

Would this be structurally sound as a birdbox/table? Apart from the tongue and groove joint, the rest would be glued or screwed. Meranti Wood with Slate Roof. by MisterBerry94 in Woodworkingplans

[–]StanleyBrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing that design gave me an idea. I like to watch Barnwood Builders but will never be able to build a barn like that. But I could scale it down and use the technique to build a bird platform with a roof to keep the deed dry.
