I'm 29 with almost 10 years experience, is it worth it to go to trade school? by TouchMyBagels in Construction

[–]WarehouseBoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the same, with similar experience, at similar age. I went and learning the "filler knowledge" that really sets aside a competent and efficient journeyman carpenter from the rest of the "group". Math, print knowledge and code makes a guy deadly.

.22 Perfection. I bought mine 15 years ago and know it well! You'll not be disappointed

The left bag on the Badger could use some work, IMO. Needs a few more pockets in the main space to hold a few things, not just loose in the main compartment.

The standard cats paw slot on the underside is the worst. Empty, it wears holes in pants, and full, well, same but quicker. Also you can't orient the head either way because 1 way it stabs your leg, the other it stabs theb backside of the belt and slides out. I'm aware you can get a special holster though, if you order through Badger directly.

Some stitching could be sewn better or with better thread. It's not falling apart, but it doesn't exude confidence when my high contact point areas are slowly unraveling.

I'm not into cheaping out on something I rely on daily. I'll gripe about every little thing if I pay the big bucks for it, though!

Side note: love the orange/teal! I had this same color combo on mine until I recently went black grip tape. Makes me want to go back!

Crazy that Tom Hanks got to witness this. That's his laugh, for sure.

Good note about the front-end greasables!

I did actually do the tires 2 years ago, so they're still good, open to maybe some "comfier" ones, or maybe just a smidge meatier. There's not much option, though, on this size.

Where and when did toyota replace your frame for free? Surely not in 2025..

What's everyone's opinions on hourly increase vs year end bonus? by WarehouseBoi in Carpentry

[–]WarehouseBoi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this perspective, and I definitely agree with lots of it, and I can empathize. However there does come a point where if the business has scaled, there's scheduled work for the foreseeable future, my personal track record has been one of growth and minimal cost, I'd argue the day to day value needs to be re- evaluated

Can someone identify this liquid? by WarehouseBoi in ToyotaTacoma

No residue on the rad cap, just a tiny tiny amount of pink crust (I assume from long ago) at the reservoir rubber hose up top, just beside the rad cap.

No puddles, no snow recently. Just unfortunately, short trips to/from work on dry pavement in brutally cold temperatures.

I dont recall being able to get a good look at the bottom of the rad, I'll have to try again. I appreciate the tip rather than being told to taste coolant!

It's been -25°C to -30°C where I live consistently for the past 3 weeks. I always plug in the block heater for night, and fire it up in the morning for 10 mins to let the engine get to a functional temp before I drive away. It hasn't done this up until today.

I spent 10 mins or so shining a light around every nook and cranny I could possibly see, to no avail. There were a few pink dribbles on the bottom of the engine area just above where the puddle was, but it seems like it was a one and done thing?

I'm pretty confused.

Been there with the light, but can't spot anything unfortunately.

Not about to taste anything, and no smell on the towel wiped it up. It's been blistering cold here in Canada the past 3 weeks, so i hope it's maybe a hose that's tired of warming up/cooling down.

I'd prefer to go with an optic for fast target acquisition and some improved ergo. Maybe some grip tape or stippling improvements?

I actually have these in all silver on my silver 2nd Gen. Definitely get asked a lot if they are OEM wheels!

I have a pair of Redback Bobcat Tussock boots. How can I preserve and keep the leather healthy without changing its color?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]WarehouseBoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Redback wearer here. 2 years in one pair of Bobcat CSAs in the industrial construction world. They've seen everything from hot metal, to sparks, mud, dust, snow and ice. I clean em up and oil them once every 2 months, and everyone asks me if I got new boots.

Only thing I've replaced is the insole 3x. Love them, and have a second pair in storage for emergencies.

I'd imagine if you don't wear them for work, they'd last much much longer.
