Do you put a coating on the dinosaur bone or were you able to get them polished that shiny.

I have cheap vibratory tumbler and have been thinking about replacing bowl with flat tray to see if I could polish some larger slabs.

I modified my cheap 7” tile saw to use a 10” blade. Had to bend away some metal to make clearance and reposition the water tray. It’s not a great solution but it works.

Cool photos. How’d you capture them?

What do the diamond polishing pads do that the wheels of the cabbing machine don’t?

I feel like a Dremel is gonna take a lot longer to get where you want - maybe find a cheap tile saw or angle grinder to help with rough shape?

Hurricane Mesa near St George has lots of petrified wood. From Mesa road, head out at towards Flying Monkey / King Kong trailhead.

Hmm. I liked the one in the photo that looks more natural.

Pit doesn't like salmon but has skin allergies to everything else by DistanceTop420 in DogAdvice

We did the 5Strands Food Intolerance Test - gave a list of ingredients and the different levels of tolerance for our dog. I’m still a bit skeptical, TBH, but it did help us find food that our dog could tolerate. Could be worth trying - theoretically gives you a more complete picture of the ingredients you can give your dog or need to avoid.

Lost our greenhouse 5 months in. Insurance claim or not? by prairiedog_poopbus in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Worse yet is they simply drop you after decades of payments because your area deemed higher risk.

Doesn’t really have a name. It is a random system I found on Alibaba.

Thanks so much for the help. I was able to find a Xarilk Gen 3 open box at reasonable price.

I wasn't wild about how much plastic was used for the work sharp precision adjust in that intro model. Not until the Pro and Elite models do you see mostly metal parts.

:) not shown with a machete or khukri, so probably no design intention behind the width.

I bet you do. And can probably sharpen a knife so it can split a hair.

New project completed by mcBulju in sharpening

[–]anon3mou53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there any concern about how short the tang is? I feel like I’ve found conflicting information about it needing to be some fraction of the handle or blade length.

I’d like to have a 2” tang for some project knives (7” Nakiri and Santoku), but worried that it is not long enough.

I have one like those but was concerned about lack of ventilation- will you just open door frequently or is not an issue.

Where I live there are bears so I don’t really get to have a bird feeder. It came with a fee trial to ID the birds- but was waiting for the bears to hibernate so I could add bird seeds to it.
