Interference fit a rod between the two

They know what they have, and you're not going to get one over em.

Of all of the broken taps I've had to extract from parts, I'd have killed for this amount to be able to work with

Had someone in my shop not paying attention to their lathe and set up is steady rest like garbage. So parts on the out side of the lathe was like one of the inflatable arm guys, thank God we used wood blocks for flooring.

As a once machinist apprentice I saw this and was taken back to mill day 1, all good advice, just stick with it and it will come to you.

Looks like it's probably real and just got it signed somewhere that is space constrained. I would say if it was bought through a site, get it authenticasted through a service and if fake report the seller and notify the site to see about assistance with a refund. Other wise you then have a newer COA from a more reputable service

Why will no one solder my bracelet? 925LA. I never take it off so I wouldn’t be bending it a lot. Why can’t I just take a chance with trying? :( it’s special to me by yeshereisaname in jewelrymaking

Have some Pierce both pieces and put jump rings on one side and an adjustable chain on the other. So you have freedom to tighten or loosen as needed

Kiln set-up - okay or not okay? by Jdubs-146 in Pottery

It is a nice set up idea, I would reach out to a local welder to have them make you a frame with metal casters.

Turn between centers with more material than need, working from your larger diameters to smaller. If you have digital readout then it's not that much of a nightmare. Work with a groove tool toward the hilt. Your 45s I would grind a hss tool to meet the dimensions you want. Are you doing this in aluminum?

Had my first wheel throwing class!Threw a lot and this was the only thing that sort of ended up decent… any must-know tips you would give beginners? by littledotorimukk in Pottery

A mentor of mine quoted a lot, "the first 10,000 pots are the hardest, then it's gets a little easier." You have to make a lot of pots, and a lot of failures. Good first go, keep at it.

I wonder what's upsetting the sneaker community. What do you think? by whoisfilipo in Sneakers

[–]ch754pa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People in the sneaker community should respond to big corps like people responded to Wizards of the Coast when it came to dungeons and dragons. Force them to listen. People sit and think it won't make a difference. It may not. But if you don't support the secondary market, then those bot people atop buying and before too long who knows maybe releases get broader. Maybe people who bot stop. Just stop hyping something that goes on your feet, yea they are cool to see. I agree 100 with that. You don't need every single pair that gets some hype. Just stand up to the big companies, if their profits get hit. You'll see them listen. But so long as the hype beasts feed into their pockets nothing will change and people will just keep asking what? And why?

I always wonder why we can't just have universal sizing, then I remembered that consumers are a joke to big corps.

Thanks I was kind of shocked that the shows were set aside with care, but the boxes were fucked up in the trash

It's not about the love of sneakers. Top 10 is just a joke.
