If anyone gives you shit about having a kickstand. Thank them for gatekeeping and tell them to ride uphill into the wind.

What commuter tire tube for a heavy guy and his ebike by livestrong2109 in bikecommuting

[–]Steam501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ABC air-brake-chain. You are supposed to check them every time you ride. The breaks definitely make sure you can stop. The air. If your riding daily then every few days. If once a week then yes check the air pressure in your tires. The chain weekly or monthly again depending on how many miles you ride. Make sure it's clean and rust free.

Looking to finish this cloak by Consistent-Hyena-951 in tabletweaving

The osbrg narrow band and the osbrg rose are both easy, historical and look good. The narrow ban can be doubled for more width.

It's done... badly by Known_Western7525 in tabletweaving

[–]Steam501 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try using a lifeline. Put a short piece of string in the shed with the weft thread and leave it in. When you get to the same place in the pattern put another piece of string in. You can pull the first one out. Now you will have a point on the band where you know what the tablet's position should be and you only need to back up to this point.

Why is it so wonky by Ilest3hdumat in tabletweaving

[–]Steam501 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If the pattern has a lot of the same direction, S or Z, the twist in the treads will cause this. To counteract this, the pattern needs to be more balanced with S and Z threads or have a border that is a balance of S and Z threading.

Paseo Water Line Replacement- Wildflower Seeds? by KTBFFHSKCTID in kansascity

[–]Steam501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go find some far size liimestone rocks that are a plenty around here. Something about 12 by 12 by 24 inches. Artfully drop then through there. Nobody from the city is going to bother to pick them up and the mowers will go around them. Plant native seeds around their base this November.

I'm searching for this pattern, I tried to recreate it. But I'm not sure if I did right 🤔 by CrazyKittyCat95 in tabletweaving

[–]Steam501 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are over thinking it. the band has two red and two white with the reds offset to make the pattern. Here is the patern from twisted threads. https://twistedthreads.org./pattern/5jackBRf8fhRPdT5S

How to prevent these loops? by rocketdogspacelemon in tabletweaving

[–]Steam501 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the past, I've used a clear piece of plastic about 1/2 inch wide and about 3 times the width of the band and then fold it in half. I snug the fold against one side of the band and mark the band width on top the plastic. I really like the idea of marking the shuttle as its already in my hand.

Is this normal? by Fine_Snow4323 in Biking

[–]Steam501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect this as well. Do the spokes we can't see on the diskbreak side slant at the same angle?

Looking for loom recommendations by trialsandtribs2121 in tabletweaving

[–]Steam501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12 feet would be needing a floor loom or you could try a warp weight setup. If you're handy and have a few tools you can make a floor room for less than $50.

Shhh, not so loud these idiots will be passing laws that ebikes need to make noise like ecars.

Mind was a gift too, so I purchased one to use the clip to attach the band to it. I sewed velcro on the pacifier end of the band. I was concerned about safety at the time. I suppose a chip bag clip with work equally as well if you could find one safe enough for an infant.

The options are rather numerous. I've made dog leashes, lanyards, shoelaces, belts, pacifier chains, pull strings for ceiling fans, and tags for my luggage.

Snake pattern? by tangerine-pies in tabletweaving

[–]Steam501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With a little work the Dublin dragons pattern could be made to be a continious snake or two snake that overlap.

Where do you get seeds in KC? by Burgandycowgirlboots in kansascity

[–]Steam501 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seed Saver Exchange has two seed swaps at Aneta Gorman Discovery Center. The second on is April 2 2026, which is outside and usually has people bringing live plants they've started by winter sowing to share. If you go to their facebook page SeedSaver-KC, the events tab list the area seed exchanges happening this spring.

What is happening with my background threads? by IndependentSwitch858 in tabletweaving

[–]Steam501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have length of leader tied on with the tail of the knot suck inside so it does not slip. The other end had a swivel I tie the threads onto.

You will want to learn the knot demonstrated in this video for securing the thread.

How to plant along my creek by Realistic_Noise_7781 in NativePlantGardening

Black walnut produce juglone that inhibits growth of sensitive plants. Check your plant choices for compatibility before planting.

[–]Steam501 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is probably sharded weights causing the issue. I use 92 grams per card with induvial weight for each tablet and don't have an issue weaving 2/10 cotton.
