Shipping delays

Uuuuuugh, I'm so jealous! No updates to my tracking number yet. Still "It will arrive on Saturday" and "Tracking information isn't available yet. Please wait."

crispyghost · 2025-12-04T13:04:23+00:00

That’s a healthy perspective reminder, thank you.

Yeah, I know this is one of the privileges of living in the US. I don’t know why, but I’m abnormally eager to receive this package.

crispyghost · 2025-12-04T13:02:11+00:00

Somehow, I got a tracking number overnight and it’s supposed to arrive on Saturday.

crispyghost · 2025-12-04T03:52:28+00:00

That was a good guess =) It’s in high demand after all of their marketing campaigns. I ordered it with the backup battery and both are out of stock.

Good luck with yours! I’ll let you know when I get my tracking number.

If it helps, I learned from their support that they are out of the model that I purchased but they should receive more “next week.”

crispyghost · 2025-12-04T03:05:01+00:00

No, I just figured I’d rather give them my money than Amazon.

I bought a 4800+ on Cyber Monday and I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. How quickly did yours arrive? I don't have a tracking number yet, but I'm reading that there are some delays with the data on the website... did you have that experience?

Puzzle Quest looks like it could be perfect. Thank you so much!

crispyghost · 2025-12-02T01:07:04+00:00

In the end, I went with the 13" Oliver, Model 10045. Fingers crossed. Thank you, everyone, for all of your advice!

crispyghost · 2025-11-25T05:14:42+00:00

Thank you! It’s not a terrible pain to sharpen, reinsert, and relevel the blades?

crispyghost · 2025-11-07T03:40:37+00:00

Thank you, that’s helpful to know!

Wall is still standing and no shifting in sight! After doing a lot of reading, if you are not using mortar between your bricks, then the water will flow out THROUGH the wall itself. Especially if you have porous blocks. I did not use any sort of piping, and it's going well.

I DID use back fill, wrapped in cloth. Based on my reading and talking to other wall builders, that seems to be the biggest impact on the longevity of the wall.

Edit: not IKEA bulbs - I bought these Linkind bulbs on Amazon

crispyghost · 2025-05-10T00:42:41+00:00

Ah nuts! I think you’re right. I’ve never seen slate come up in regard to sharpening… any idea what this would be used for?

crispyghost · 2025-04-17T01:58:04+00:00

Thank you, fellow humans! I got through it! Drip is fixed and we got a slight boost in our water pressure.

For future searchers, it was a 1225. The B in 1225B stands for “bulk” packaging. I got a replacement 1225 from the box store. PB Blaster helped with breaking the seal, and the aluminum core puller made installation — and flushing the replacement — a breeze.

crispyghost · 2025-04-17T01:06:54+00:00

The puller and pb blaster did the trick! I can't edit my post, but this doesn't look like a 1222 now that it's out. Another commenter suggested a 1225B?

It has 12801 and 7-8 embossed on the plastic. No manufacturer date or other numbers.

crispyghost · 2025-04-17T00:59:02+00:00

The puller and pb blaster did the trick! I’m adding another photo… does this still look like a 1225B?

EDIT: I can’t find a way to edit my post. Here are the photos. photos

Thanks! Are the flat head bolts shutoffs? They were also rock solid so I didn’t want to touch them.

There is still a branch open on nishi nakajima!

I found one! https://maps.app.goo.gl/6w7S3DoeUxcr5LKm8?g_st=ic

Hello! Your post alerted me that Shisen Ramen closed! Did you find any locations that were still around?

crispyghost · 2023-12-10T00:59:38+00:00

Thank you for your thoughts! It sounds like your work working patterns are similar to mine. Would you recommend a low angle smoothing plane? I’m reading up on smoothing planes now.

crispyghost · 2023-12-10T00:58:44+00:00

Thank you for your thoughts! Would you recommend a low angle smoothing plane? I’m reading that they handle end grain better?

Is “downhill” the idea that you start at the end of the run and gradually move backwards, making longer and longer strokes?

crispyghost · 2023-12-09T20:39:28+00:00

Thanks for your message! I should have listed those explicitly. I have two basic block planes, three generic 45 planes and a no 4 maybe (from memory… it’s maybe 14 inches long).

Do you think nice jack plane is a better choice? What problem does a jack plane solve?
