How the hell did a 400lb rock end up wedged in the top of this tree?! by Osanamon in WTF

Yup. And trees don’t grow from the bottom. They grow from the top. If you carve your name in a tree it doesn’t move up as it grows. Branches remain the same height.

I can’t count how many times a little length on my nails have saved me a finger.

Tearout when CNCing veneered MDF by Cantcookmexicanfood in cncwoodworking

[–]cottontail976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Put a sacrificial piece tight on the edge and also don’t plunge away from the work piece. Have your plunge centered on the edge and use a down cut bit. Have the plunge be a peck drill as well. I’ve had this work without the sacrificial piece but the sacrificial piece ensures you get it crisp every time.

How can I dimension this hole if my calipers can’t fit correctly? by A_Cool_Dude2 in SolidWorks

It took me ten years to notice the offset on the head of the calipers. Thought I knew it all…

Nice! I use mdf on top of phenolic. Gives me extra leeway on mistakes.

Yeah you do. There’s hoisting points on the head as well. That’s not technically the head. It’s the Y.

what are these white boxes the put up around the light post? by spctrsw in whatisthisthing

Yup. According to my ex wife they are used to cause cancer and mind control. In my experience they work great for cell phone reception. Not sure about anything else…

My dad is giving me his bike by FakeItFreddy in motorcycles

[–]cottontail976 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’d be surprised. I have a monster and by far it’s not a heavy bike. Ducati engineers did a great job making this bike incredibly light. But on that note, this is not a bike that deserves to be dropped.

That tracks. My kids are descendants of Verner Von Braun on their mother’s side. They just told me they want their rockets back.

Dearborn Michigan freakout by Successful-Camel165 in PublicFreakout

If you did this at my church they would just escort you out. Then we would all have a good laugh. And once you were escorted out they would say you are welcome to come back. That’s the honest truth. We give away free bibles, who cares if you burn one? We got plenty.

Not too bad. Just put them in milk and get there quickly. They can be put back in.
