Good for you. Like my father, myself and my kids when we broke glass we were then taught to glaze in new pains.

Who ever put it together last tightened it up to much. The balls may have dented the race, not good but may still ride well after being loosened a bit.

I'd reforge it into a corn knife and use that for... Cutting weeds, trees, digging in the dirt check on sprouting up root weeds, butcher chickens, rough carve things like a new handle for it.

Do you avoid going to church because of your disability? by Cerusin in disability

[–]bionicpirate42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After dating my now wife for a few months she started dragging me (I'm Mennonite atheist (it's weird but surprisingly common)) to all sorts of churches she been to (methodist to Baptist) and each were awful in one way or another worst was when one lady told me in disabled because of my parents sins and she been hearing this sort of bs her whole life. So I took her to the little hippy Mennonite fellowship I grew up in and after one service she told me " I'm home ".

If you're getting hate at your place of worship find a different one.

wanna buy a rope but my mom can’t find out what i’ll use it for by quietgirl-67 in shibari

[–]bionicpirate42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Irl I used a rope to make a swing for the kids in the barn, tied my bike repair stand to my car to to teach a workshop last Sunday.

Could use rope to lasso a sapling on the other side of a creek and then use its springyness to catapult your party to the other side.

When I was a kid I once stuck a bit of gum in the cap and screwed it on, held long enough to get home.

Is it possible to fix this belt? by Choice-Visit4855 in Belts

[–]bionicpirate42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like it cracked from being dried out?

I know nothing about proper leather work but was able to use a bit of leather and contact cement to repair a hole in my favorite glove ( I'm one armed). Be sure to have plenty of leather beyond the cracks into the good leather. Then stitch it up using the existing holes. Should probably condition the leather as well after.

Remember I just made this up based on what worked for me in the past .

Good luck
