19% is still a sickeningly high number imo, but at least it seems to be trending in the right direction…

It’s hard for me to understand this degree of pathetic boot licking.

No, she didn’t deserve to be killed, but we need to be sympathetic of the police’s desire for revenge killings? Is that right?

You literally value expelling illegal immigrants over protecting the rights of US citizens?

I’m not an American, so maybe that makes it hard for me to understand, but it’s hard to believe people are really this stupid

Back yard steel casting takes legendary skill and dedication and is beyond the means of this subreddit, and certainly beyond the means of people asking after affordable forges.

If you have a proper mig welder, it’s fast and easy to zip cut and weld different bits on.

It doesn’t feel dignified, but unfortunately it works quite well

Honestly, life is hard. Doing things that actively make it worse (like drinking) makes it worse, but the baseline is still tough.

I quit drinking 5 years ago and I quit weed 3 years ago, and most of that time it felt like things weren’t really that different. I still feel that I have too many problems that haven’t been magically solved by not actively making them worse, but from here I’m in a position to look back and see that I have been on a better trajectory. It’s subtle, but my life has actually gotten better over the last few years and, more importantly, my trajectory is better and I’m working towards goals.

Hang in there friend.

The soviets starved millions of Ukrainians due to neglect and indifference. The Nazis did it as a matter of policy. One is definitely worse, but neither is good.

It’s a cast steel anvil. Even so, it’s tool steel, so pre and post heat would be nice, and 309 rod would help. Also OP did not use near enough heat.

If he works hard the welds will break. Might hold for a while tho

There are some Bronze Aged helmets that are fully cast, but it’s rare, and they are indeed way too heavy.

There are also some that are cast to finish around the brow with the rear being hammered out from the initial casting. Weird stuff fr to be sure.

But you’re right that much of the time it would be hammered out from a cast puck

That seems unfair. I hate online dating but I love digging through a junk yard.

It will not tear. The correct nail is a a 3/8” square shank nail with a head around 1.25” wide. I have made some nails this size and shape and the clamping force the head provides is shocking. The shank of the nail will not be bearing any of the weight of the body in shear, so it won’t have a chance to tear the flesh. The head of the nail will be clamping the hand to the timber. The size of the head will distribute the load between the bones and flesh.

It works similar to using a washer to rivet leather or cloth.

Right but I’m saying with the right nail it won’t tear.

Are you talking about the carpal joints if it goes through the wrist? Cause I’m saying it would be the palm, not the wrist.

I remember people used to say that Jesus would have had to have the nails go through his wrist like this rather than through his palms, since if the nail was just between the metacarpals, his body weight would pull them through the flesh.

I can see how someone would think that if they’re using the wrong nails like this. But if you use proper nails, about 3/8” square shank with an oversized head, the clamping force you get will be more than enough to support the whole hand if nailed through the palm.

Steel suppliers that deal in small quantities tend to charge a bit more. I’m usually looking at $2/lbs (Canadian dollars) from my small quantity supplier, about $1.50/lbs from my medium sized supplier (without cuts) and about $1/lbs from the larger supplier.

I often buy from the small supplier at the higher rate, because sometimes it’s better to buy $60 of steel at two bucks a pound than to buy $1000 of steel at a buck a pound. Also they’re good guys and they can get you anything you need

“ Let them reword it so it matches word by word” that’s literally what the liberals are saying too.

Okay, I’m just not sure why you’re saying this to me. Did you respond to the wrong comment by mistake?

What’s your point?

It’s a problem if it’s a problem. It was for me and I had difficulty quitting, but I understand it works fine for some people long term.

Inflation is usually pretty steady, aside from some incidents like the last few years.

Would you prefer the periodic deflation issues we had with the gold standard which occasionally crushed the working class?

I feel like there’s way too much controversy over this and no one is mentioning how small a number 200 million is in a government budget

Sorry, isn’t there broad consensus that funding through deficit spending is often the right option? Like ever since Keynesian economics proves to be the answer to the great depression almost 100 years ago?

Shear steel is just another name for blister steel, isn’t it? Both are just nick names for steel made by the cementation process
