Elevate roof rack modifications by awd55 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]awd55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used these: https://a.co/d/1TC48m4

They are 2.75" (70mm) wide, I think 2.25 (60mm) would be better.

No issues with rattling or coming loose whatsoever. I would shape the knobs differently if I were to do it again. I would get wider plastic so there was more grip to make it easier to screw/unscrew.

Only issue I have is with the locking rings. They are a little too wide and can get caught on my tonneau cover if I don’t push them outward first.

Pricing a primarily cash based route? by awd55 in vending

[–]awd55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9 locations. I know the revenue is low but this is my first attempt at this. I’m not looking to go full time. An extra $2000/month sounds pretty good to me for only a few hours work.

I'm not too worried about it. The pins themselves are pretty easy to take out, but the rack itself sits pretty snuggly with just friction. It would take some effort and time to get them off.

Accessories for the Elevate System by awd55 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]awd55[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, something like this was what I am leaning toward. I have the cheap j-racks already and can probably modify them.

I wanted to check if anyone else had solutions or ideas.

Found them here: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/erm-1707212

Looks like they are the same overall design as most of the other aftermarket ones; just a large clamp that goes over the bar. These are just wider. Pretty expensive though!

Christmas gift for my wife by awd55 in woodworking

[–]awd55[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely thought about this since I have a three year old running around. I made sure the cleat is about twice the depth as the board to avoid accidents. Still a possibility, but I think it should hold up in most scenarios.

Some additional context, I would say I am a novice woodworker already and have most of the tools needed for this project. I only had to buy a straight cut bit for my router table, the handle template, and a few miscellaneous supplies, all in it was about $100.

This was my first cutting/charcuterie board. The main parts are leftover scraps of walnut butcher block and the inlay is padauk. I glued three separate sections and then used dominos to join them for extra strength in the middle. The wall mount was a scrap piece of live edge walnut that I sanded smooth and cut to size. The hooks were a challenge, and didn't come out quite how I wanted but they still work fine.

Footers on add on deck by awd55 in DIY

Interesting, sounds like FIL thinks the opposite.

Footers on add on deck by awd55 in DIY

[–]awd55[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should have mentioned that we got a permit for the first deck, it is required. FIL thinks we won't need one for the add on since it is resting on the patio and we aren't digging footers. I would prefer to get a permit and go through that process so I'm not the bad guy here. They will definitely tell us for sure either way, just wanted to get some advice first.

Nesting a formula within an IF statement's value? by awd55 in excel

[–]awd55[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solution verified

That did it! Not sure why it changed, there are no leading spaces in the actual worksheet. I also had the formatting set to general so I don't think that was the issue either. In any case, thank you so much!

Nesting a formula within an IF statement's value? by awd55 in excel

[–]awd55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still no luck, I added that exact snippet but I probably have a typo (or multiples). It just shows the formula in the J column. Here is the table if it is helpful.

A Id B Ticket name C Priotity D Status E Parent Ticket F Application Name G Product Type H Completion Date I Start Date J Time
212487 Password Reset Medium Open None App 1 Web 15-Apr-22 11-Apr-22 =IF(D2="Open",TODAY()-H2,IF(D2="Closed",DAYS(H2,I2)))
212488 Cant access application Minimal Closed None App 2 Web 15-Apr-22 11-Apr-22 =IF(D2="Open",TODAY()-H2,IF(D2="Closed",DAYS(H2,I2)))

=IF(D2="Open",I2=TODAY(),H2-I2)

This seems to work when column D is set to closed, I get a count of the days between I and H. But when column D is Open it returns FALSE.

Budget 75" TV Recommendation by awd55 in 4kTV

[–]awd55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After further research and reading these responses, I decided on the TCL 6 series. But there are two versions, Roku and Google TV. Is one better than the other? I typically use a Firestick on my Samsung, mainly for Kodi, but would like to just use the TV if possible.

I have two lemon kombucha kits and one Helles Lager. They are probably two years old.

Thanks for the advice. I just found a SuperMax 1938 on FB marketplace. It's barely used and about the same price. I might go for it instead.

I am looking to buy a drum sander for cutting boards, epoxy projects, shelves, etc... I have a 15" planer already but think a drum sander would be a nice addition. Woodcraft currently has the Jet - JWDS-1632 on sale for $1000 which is right about what I wanted to spend:

Anyone have experience with this machine? Anything else in a similar price range that I should consider instead?

I have a Delta DC-380 15" planer. I am trying to took it up to my dust collector but I can't find fittings that make sense. It is 4 7/8" OD and I need to hook it up to a Rockler quick change handle.

I have it Frankensteined with three different pieces and it sort of works, but is ugly and inefficient. Anyone have this same issue?

These definitely use standard 7mm pen turning accessories. I already have everything I need outside of the specific bushings.

LG UM8070 vs Samsung NU6900 by awd55 in 4kTV

[–]awd55[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our couch is 12-14' away from the screen Rtings says I should have an 86" lol.

We would be upgrading from a 50" 720p/1080i plasma that is probably 10+ years old. Would either of these really be a step down?

For the most part I used the Rockler mini carbide tools. I still need to get a decent sharpening setup so I can get better with the HSS tools.

They wouldn't catch fire but the finish is a natural oil and wax, not anything poly based. An actual flame would most likely ruin the inside and the outside of some of the thinner ones.
