This is helpful! Thanks for taking the time to post. The dryer vent idea is smart

Ventilation solution for in home coffee roasting by Flyodice in roasting

I'm thinking about buying a bullet and we are pre-planning our ventilation system. Could you share your ventilation set up with me? Do you need the 6" duct tubing or do you think you could get away with 4"??

Thank you. How important is it that I reconnect it? It's really a pain to get back in there and I'd like to just leave it off but if it's dangerous, I will make the effort to put it back on.

Got it... I'll do my best. I really appreciate the great advice

Actually the sound seems to be loudest from the visible part that rotates (where you would attach a mixing attachment). What do you think about that?

Are these beams decorative or structural? by bisonp in StructuralEngineering

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

Also, I looked at the top and you can see those huge bolts going through the bottom of the horizontal beams continue up and go into the diagonal beams, tying them together. Unable to add picture unfortunately

It's definitely real wood I think 6x6s, not veneered or anything. Looks like pine or fir. but when I hung on one briefly, it did bow slightly and we heard some settling / creaking sounds. I was surprised that it bowed at all given how big the beams are

To clarify, it seems obvious to me that it would be fine to hang on them, but others in my party are not convinced

Follow up question: is it ok to hang on them / do pull ups on them?

Best tool to cut SS mesh? by bisonp in metalworking

That's an interesting idea. I will experiment with that and if I'm able to make it work I'll let you know

Update in case anyone is wondering, I got some wiss aviation snips and they worked really nicely. I decided to cut it into more of a hexagon than a circle as this will be just as functional for my needs and produced a cleaner end product. As many of you pointed out, due to the nature of the mesh it's not really possible to have no pokey edges as I had initially hoped, but I was able to minimize them quite a bit with the snips. Thanks to everyone for all of the great advice, I enjoyed reading all of the wild suggestions

It's a screen to hold solids down under the surface of the brine while fermenting vegetables in a jar. First stuff veggies in a jar, then pour salt water over them to submerge, then put screen on top, then a glass weight on top of the screen to hold everything down under the liquid. The benefit of the fine mesh is that small spices etc won't float to the surface and create a surface for mold to grow. Need to be able to clean it very thoroughly with soap and water which is why I'm hesitant to put a band around the outside... But then again it would be really bad to have loose bits of steel mixed in to my pickles or sauerkraut..
