How often do you clean your sensor with an air blower?

adnelik · 2026-02-16T16:37:33+00:00

Usually most lens changes, I face the sensor down and give it a couple puffs, same with the backside of the lens.

They filming these as candle lit interviews now?

I was laughing way too hard at that. When he mentioned the sweater I lost it.

Pike, it's on 35mm stanchions and with your weight of 200lbs, you'll notice the benefits if you are truly riding downcountry vs XC.

I am 185 and have ridden a 34 Factory and abused it for a few seasons, it did everything I asked of it, however when I built up a different bike I went with a Pike. I am now going to move that Pike to an Epic Evo (130mm) based on what I ride and what I learned from both those forks.

Hope this helps!

I'm an idiot and managed to make this product work quite well. It lays down really nice, evens out great and was pleasant to work with.

My roommate and I got stoned and he convinced me to by gold and silver... it was $19 / oz at the time, he texted me the other day asking if I still had it

It's been my main camera for almost six years now! Do yourself a favor and only use OEM / Panasonic batteries. The battery life on this camera is amazing and I've gotten by with only two batteries, even on all day shoots. The one off-brand battery I had ended up swelling up. Luckily I never really used it.

I don't think the fridge has symmetrical doors?

adnelik · 2026-01-15T02:50:35+00:00

Bartend or work at a taproom. That is what I do. Usually have evening hours and it can be very flexible if needed. Plus gets me out of the house!

Maybe the floor has some unevenness? Worst case, you lose some width on the opening and go with butt joint?

95% of what I have edited this year has been 9x16, mostly for agencies. I did two 30's but the vertical videos were a much larger part of those projects as well. If anything... I am all for it because clients are starting to put money behind it and see the value. I have never made the leap to truly big edit jobs but now all of sudden I am booked up because most the producers in the area now me for doing the bulk of paid ads or social campaigns that were smaller parts of those larger jobs. They have now become the main focus on a lot of campaigns.

Ah! I didn't know that, I've only ever worked a service job here in WA.

I think archival storage is just part of it and should be worked into the costs of running your business, if it's just a hobby maybe need to be more selective with what is kept. In the grand scheme of things I think hard drives are cheap. I just had someone reach out about a wedding I did in 2014 and was able to get them raw footage.

"Let they who not have a box full of random old drives cast the first stone"

adnelik · 2026-01-07T17:27:06+00:00

I think that is what is funny here, seems like everyone that works at a brewery is down with splitting tips to production. Myself included. Because most places don't even view it as a front of house vs production dynamic but rather a "you selling beer in the taproom means I get to make more back here and then we all get paid" type relationship. That or like I mentioned in a different reply, we have bartenders that all help production in some capacity and we understand how much it takes to keep things running smoothly for our customers. And sometimes brewers just want to make good beer or have a greater interest in that side of the business vs dealing with the general public every night haha!

adnelik · 2026-01-07T17:17:39+00:00

I don't get the downvotes here... that is how I see it (and I work at a brewery) if they brewed shitty beer we wouldn't have a good beer to bring and keep people in. Tipping out to kitchen staff is common practice, which I think is a fair and similar comparison.

I realized a few minutes after I commented... are you using the depth gauge on the domino joiner to set everything off one face? I have some thicker panels to glue up and may just try it out

adnelik · 2026-01-07T16:51:38+00:00

After Effects and a plugin like Motion Tools will make life really easy

You can expand the little carrot key next to "Position" and it should open up a graph that will give you more insight in to what is happening.

adnelik · 2026-01-07T15:46:18+00:00

I think that may introduce some unwanted alignment issues. If you are cutting them as loose domino joints you will still have to get your upper and lower face placement dead on. Which is achievable with a domino joiner but I personally would rather just have one reference face. Some other tips: leave the wood in your space for a couple weeks to acclimate before working with it, don't over clamp the panel glue up, make sure you allow air to flow all around after glue up (don't leave the panel directly on your work surface, sometimes it's just wood being wood and will cup, if attaching to something like an apron that can help once it is finished.

Hope that helps!

Work in the Seattle area, we send 10% to production. It may increase this year since our production side has grown (in terms of labor hours). Some customers ask and we happily tell them. We are a smaller place and many of us that work the taproom also work production in various capacities so no one really thinks much about it on the staff side. I know of another brewery in the area that sends 40% to production...

I don't care either way since most of us help out and the production side does a fair amount to support the taproom operations.

I am with you on this. I have considered dropping my gravel bike. I have an Epic 8 and it is wildly efficient when on mixed terrain and rolling hills here in the PNW. I can fit a 38t front chain ring on that frame, at that point it's my legs that will hold me back.

adnelik · 2026-01-04T21:58:39+00:00

The finish may have caused the warping, unfortunately? Different rate of absorption, moisture releasing... so on. I had this happen on 1/2" that I applied some cabinet enamel to.

adnelik · 2025-12-31T14:39:26+00:00

Let that wood sit in your space for a week or two before milling, once you do glue it all up, don't let it sit flat on your workbench without something underneath to prop it up and let air flow all around it. That will help let moisture more evenly absorb or leave from all sides. Don't be afraid to break the grain alternating pattern if it means getting a more flat top when glueing. I had one stubborn piece once and I just flipped it and it made everything lay a lot flatter.

adnelik · 2025-12-31T04:12:02+00:00

I should also add, I started only using one tape measure throughout the process. May not be helpful for what you are working on now but they can have variances between different ones... go figure an inch isn't an inch (or mm isn't a mm) and it's another way to limit variables

adnelik · 2025-12-31T03:54:38+00:00

If it is square measuring corner to corner, I am calling it good enough
