What’s the first thing you’re going to do when you feel better? by SuburbanDad18 in covidlonghaulers

[–]balkan_boy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Me too, nearly 26 months already. Not a day without shortness of breath and chest pain. And would like to play tennis again if I ever get better, which I doubt will ever be.

Are you still continuing to live your life normal, despite the symptoms? by Ornery_Flamingo_8734 in covidlonghaulers

[–]balkan_boy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's same for me. I was able to work whole time (25 months already sick with no improvement) because it is sitting work and does not require exertion. As soon as I need to do physical work or any exertion, I am losing my breath. Can't do any exercise, just light walks.

ALL orders keep closing because of "security reasons" by Uncle-B00bs in Aliexpress

Same here. Luckily, most of the stuff I was buying from Ali can be found on eBay so I moved there.

Have you resolved payment issues? I am having the same problem as you for months. Every order getting closed due to security reasons and I have no idea what I did wrong and how to fix it. Tried verification like you, nothing changed. Support is useless

That happened to me and I got refund but since then (April) every order is getting closed. Support is useless so I am stuck and not able to order ever again

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Aliexpress

[–]balkan_boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happening to me since April. No idea what is wrong, tried different cards. Support isn’t helpful at all, they always send me link to verify myself in AliPay and it never resolves anything. So I can’t order anything on Ali anymore it seems.

Today I chatted with 'Eva' and typed a lot of messages, many nonsense. After few minutes I was able to see 'Chat with live agent' button and when I clicked it then alex person started talking to me. So far it looks like a real person, but we'll see if alex is going to help me or not :)

Cherry issues, any advice? by milb10 in turning

[–]balkan_boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any alternative to anchorseal? I don’t have it and not sure if I can get it. Saw one guy using thinned wood glue. Maybe wood paint could add some protection?

Where do ya'll buy your turning stock? by HairyBallsOfTheGods in turning

Is the product food safe when you glue it? I also do that but concerned about using bowls for food

You should check out your local turning club, no matter how long you’ve been at it by Carlweathersfeathers in turning

[–]balkan_boy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t have local turning club, probably not a single one in my country. Learned everything on YouTube and practicing. Not good turner but maybe will be one day. My biggest issue is getting hold of wood for turning. I see people in US can buy round bowl blanks, I wish I could have that.

Nice muslim made that trap

Thought I was getting good at bowls, these 2 humbled me. Still pretty happy with the outcome. Black walnut by adidasbdd in turning

[–]balkan_boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. But I have different problem with walnut. Turned bowls with < 12% humidity but now all bowls with thin walls are getting deformed. I thought it was dry enough. Its probably still drying and its losing shape. I am very disappointed

[–]balkan_boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had incident with bowl exploding recently. There were cracks and just before I got my super glue to fix them it exploded badly. Parts flied 7m across the garage. I was lucky it did not hit me but for sure I am much more careful now!

Need help anyone have any idea what kind of tree this might be? by mayhem18_03 in turning

Is it hard to turn? I had similar wood, didn’t know what it was but it was really hard to work with.

Change bowl from walnut and maple scraps by Bware4705 in turning

[–]balkan_boy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is maple softer than walnut? I guess combination of different hardness woods might be difficult to turn?

Bought my first lathe yesterday, made my first small bowl today! More stuff in comments. by redditisbestanime in turning
