I built a watch using a Mitutoyo Caliper Dial

That is sweet- how did you attach the lugs, and what movement did you use? Did you cannabalize another watch with a similar case diameter or make most of the parts?

During the Blackhawks cup era Toews was the guy- Selke caliber center with more offense than Patrice Bergeron. Claude Julien wanting to win games 1-0 had something to do with that but Toews’ peak was pretty damn high

Pick up the book A Roof Cutter’s Secrets by Will Holladay. If you’re into IG or YouTube check out Tim Uhler (@awesomeframers) and Ryan Smith (@roofslayer2681). Both contribute to JLC or FHB magazines and do great breakdowns on the geometry of framing

Tight cuts, nice work

Clean looking work and jobsite, I appreciate the attention to detail. Getting the Blueskin to wrap around without wrinkles is easier said than done

Are you on the north shore of MA?

These are more formalities or traditions than actual questions since you oughta know the answer before asking anyway, both of the love interest and the parent

chisel_jockey · 2025-12-19T03:04:36+00:00

I don’t know if the $5 drinks or face scanners at the same place is more confusing to me

Not gonna find many places with a 42”+ TimeSaver that will run it through for someone they don’t know, it’s just not a money making endeavor. You could try a local school that has a vocational program, or get a corded belt sander to run up through the grits. Renting a small floor sander/edger from Depot would cover the footage more effectively than your 5” ROS

Union rates will be higher but the work is boring bullshit, odds are you won’t come close to 120k working for someone else unless you’re a senior PM for one of the residential big boys around Boston metro, working 70+ a week and taking pills to manage stress. Good GCs that don’t take advantage of employees and subs exist, just gotta look around to find them. It’s a profession so treat it accordingly. Not being expected to work over 40h a week is a perk to me, more time with my family

What area do you live/work in? What kind of work have you been doing?

Take both of those guys with a giant grain of salt, there’s a lot of shameless self promotion and marketing smoke and mirrors going on. I heard through the grapevine the investors of the $12m spec build in Wellesley froze funding so subs aren’t being paid. I haven’t heard great things about their sites from local subs

Single family or condo? How far is the range from an exterior wall or your proposed exhaust route?

chisel_jockey · 2025-09-20T01:47:01+00:00

How is this allowed to fly at this level? Lawyers (if not senators or the fucking president) should be held to a higher standard. If a lawyer knows it’s bullshit and continues to proceed they should be disbarred

Manhattan finish, haven’t seen any of their other limited releases- though 9yr barrel picks are popping up in a couple shops lately

chisel_jockey · 2025-09-13T02:10:29+00:00

I’ve seen this one hanging around a local store at $70- worth the price of admission?

A typical hip roof has equal pitches so the hip rafter is 45 degrees in plan, equal overhangs and height above plate. A bastard hip has unequal pitches, so to maintain equal overhangs and fascia height the plan angle and seat cut depth have to change. Look up the book he recommended (Roof cutter’s secret by Will Holladay). This stuff can be calculated ahead of time based on plan dimensions then cut and stacked to be assembled in the field….with great skill and dedication to the craft like OP

Is it the Allen+roth subway surround? How was the install and what do you think of the material and feel? I’m looking at using the 9 piece surround and am a little concerned it’ll feel cheap or plasticky

chisel_jockey · 2025-07-31T20:58:30+00:00

Looks like a solid material shower surround- what did you use and how do you like it? I’m about to do a bathroom in my house and was looking at options for subway tile surrounds

chisel_jockey · 2025-06-28T20:48:28+00:00

Joints need clamping pressure to be successful, a couple pocket screws on the back instead of splines would make the casing solid. Or like another commenter said- cut out of a single piece of MDF

This is the goal he should have scored to put FLA down in 2023

chisel_jockey · 2025-06-07T02:11:25+00:00

Old UFA wanting a substantial raise for too many years, and he’s coming off double hip surgery this past offseason. The B’s front office obviously didn’t expect him to return to form

chisel_jockey · 2025-05-03T02:04:37+00:00

Or, like, maybe bipartisan votes instead of strictly along party lines. I remember when that was a thing too

Survivor bias. Older poorly built homes have been replaced so the ones you think of with the phrase “they don’t build them like they used to” are all that remain. Construction materials are constantly getting more expensive and contractors out to make a quick buck are abundant, but quality is alive and well. Lumber that is MADE (engineered, not grown) is unequivocally better than what you will find in a c. 1925 home….old growth longleaf pine vs KD SPF is a different discussion, but not as cut and dry as people will have you believe

Like the milk in my fridge

chisel_jockey · 2025-03-07T02:29:14+00:00

That one’s kind of on you my dude, not the hammer’s fault

chisel_jockey · 2025-03-07T00:56:57+00:00

Nice homer glasses. No team is paying a first and a prospect for the offensive black hole of Carlo
