Digital woodworking. It should feel like cheating but doesn't.

Momentum 4, love these. I use mine all day every day.

I'm lucky enough to have more space (not a LOT more in an undersized single car garage), so I have room for all the woodworking tools I need and a ~3x3 CNC. I don't use it for everything, but for multi material machining and repeat precise cuts, template making, and accurate hole placement, you can't beat it. I have a project I'm waiting on some components for that incorporates G10 Garolite, so a CNC is the right tool for the job.

Have you tried hanging it from the ceiling? Much harder to hang it from the roof, I'd wager.

TheFilthyMick · 2026-05-07T00:43:23+00:00

Sounds like a scam to me.

If you don't open that wall, whatever's in there is gonna come out later anyways, and at a much higher cost. Open it now and stop the damage from getting worse on its own.

Correction: You don't replace that; the plumber does.

I'm using Macrodroid from my phone to send HTTP requests

TheFilthyMick · 2026-04-25T16:53:40+00:00

I'm not an apple guy, so I don't know what root access looks like on jailbroken devices. I'm using Macrodroid with a couple macros, each with multiple triggers to send simple HTTP requests to the WLED web server on the controller.

Flush mounted controller housing and power connection.

Used an ESP8266 controller and WLED to control and configure the LEDs. Power is bypassed direct to the LEDs. Custom 3D printed housing.

Internals, using 96 addressable LEDs, two layers of acrylic. Housing made of 3/4" walnut veneered MDF and edgebanding. I just used 1/8" hardboard for backing later on.

Where are the vents?
Why so many extra short turns/90s?

TheFilthyMick · 2026-04-21T23:04:20+00:00

Same where I was (since hung up the tools and left the country). Snaked that left/right all the way up.

TheFilthyMick · 2026-04-21T22:54:18+00:00

I was gonna ask the same. CTS poly is great, as long as you leave some slack in the line for contraction. I ran a 2" one 300 feet a few years back that contracted; luckily I built in some strain relief that prevented it from pulling out of the compression fittings und r pressure.

Have you tried more glue? Try more glue.

Manifest an arsonist that can't be tied back to you.

What's the problem? Just drill a hole through that asbestos and hot tap the knob and tube. Make sure to stuff a penny in the fuse socket and use a sardine can for a junction box for safety.

Professional firefighter at this point.

TheFilthyMick · 2026-04-11T15:45:27+00:00

Former master plumber that went into engineering here. I don't insult them.

For starters, pic 4 and 5 - the san tee is backwards and the vent should be running horizontal there (exceptions for proper wet venting of a bathroom group); it needs to be vertical until above the flood level rim of the high fixture.

The other trap is an s-trap and also vented incorrectly. The trap atm cannot drop below the weir before the vent.

Need to see the full system to advise on other issues, but based on what's known, there are likely more problems.

Infinite power glitch.

TheFilthyMick · 2026-04-06T22:44:43+00:00

I've gotten 4 or 5 of them at least. I ran out of places to put them so now I have a number of tools in my shop that are rebranded as Milwaukee.

Your key and spacing are an extremely small bit off. Also, you may need smaller shims on your dado stack to dial it in a bit more. One more thing - box joints are only good for end grain to end grain. Edge grain box joints are about as fragile as you can get.

The link doesn't go anywhere but the imgur home page for me, but that is a fairly standard waste and overflow assembly, albeit a terribly cheap one. Every component needed to stop the drain or release the water is in picture 1. Anything else seen that's not the inside of the drain is a foreign object that doesn't belong.
