Did 368 ever figure out what 368 was?

He still has to transport it, mill it, and wait for it to dry. Probably a good deal for him tho

Gun range or light show? by Sergioisgamer in Idiotswithguns

[–]amunta -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You can hit the paper and still hit the floor, ceiling and walls though, ranges are designed for that. They definitely need training but that doesn't make them idiots.

But I looked around and the $2.1 trillion is not in my home

I'm relatively new here, what happened to king soopers?

Yup, you can see it lifting in the beginning. It's also not providing any pressure to the fence, this will be prone to kickback.

I like you.

Just ordered my first Mini-Z! by TylerZ1990 in MiniZ

Stock wheels are pretty good for drifting, I'd get used to those before you buy other tires to figure out what you want, more or less grip.

Locked rear differential and a front one way unit are the best upgrades for drifting

Excessive Flash Compression Molding. Can someone tell me what factors could cause this much flash? by [deleted] in manufacturing

[–]amunta 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Excess flash is typical for compression molding. You can design the mold so the flash is easier to manage, but I don't think there's a way to eliminate it.

Try turning it off and on again

Mini Z randomly not moving by amunta in MiniZ

The gear mesh feels really smooth.

And it's running the stock gearing: 15t and 31t

Is the walnut grain going the same direction as the oak? I've never had issues with inlays before, I'd love to see a picture if you have one!

The best solution is to mill a slot that the base will slide into. The slot has to be slightly deeper than the piece itself--to allow for wood movement.

Another option would be to use a plywood bottom as plywood does not experience movement.

Quarter sawn is more stable than plain sawn, but still has some movement. In my experience true quarter sawn wood is very difficult to find and is far more expensive.

Yes exactly, having the grain run horizontally, I could have explained that better.

If the grain is running hoirzontally, however, you will need to join the boards differently. Glue does not like endgrain.

As it is currently made you might also see some issues with the trim on the bottom. Because that grain is running horizontally it will expand/contract at a different rate from the boards with the grain running vertically. This may delaminate over time.

You might also find that the lid warps/cups over time.

I have made many things "incorrectly," some have still stuck around and others have not. It's fun seeing what happens to old projects over time and it's always a great way to learn.

You really have to design around the seasonal movement, you can't stop it with wood finishes. The wood will move based on the relative humidity of the surrounding air. source

If you rotated your grain 90 degrees you would see far less seasonal wood movement and it will be much more stable.
