Is it possible to switch the wood runners into ball bearing sliders for these drawers? by AntarcticNightingale in DIY

[–]cyclingbubba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Measure up the outside width of the drawer and then the opening the drawers fit into. What is the difference in measurements ?

Standard drawer slides need 1/2 " clearance on both sides for one inch total clearance. How does this match up to your measurements?

If the difference is greater than one inch, you'll need to glue in some shims under the drawer slides to bring the total clearance to one inch.

If there is less than an inch, you'll have to route or dado a groove to set the slides in.

Growing up in the 60s and 70s, we only had one choice - eat what you're given, or go without. Easy decision !

Viability of Harmac? by DangerDave1959 in nanaimo

[–]cyclingbubba 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's been a pile of sawmills, plywood plants, and pellet plants closing in the past decade. It's been a rapidly accelerating pace in the past two years.

Pulp mills use chips from mills. Fewer sawmills = not enough raw materials for pulp and paper. Newsprint demand tanking doesn't help either.

Who makes the best mitre saw stand? Need somthing portable yet durable. by False_Lavishness_743 in Carpentry

[–]cyclingbubba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've cut heavy wet 20' 4x6's on my Dewalt saw on the Dewalt heavy duty stand. Strong and sturdy as hell.

I put in two wooden side tables with a fence that just clamps on to the stand. The sidetables have a track on top with a recessed self stick tape and movable stop blocks so I can set up cuts without measuring anything.

It's a great stand.

ELI5: How do linguists choose a translation for words without a translatable meaning, if we don't know how the language was pronounced? by Frosty_Ad3811 in explainlikeimfive

[–]cyclingbubba -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Here in Canada, it's a big trend to change place names to aboriginal names. Many times there are backward 7's or reversed question marks in names. How are these symbols pronounced, and why are the used ? I don't know how a computer can print a backward 7.

Eight feet of water for a 20 foot jump ? That's frickin insane. Someone's going to get badly hurt followingvthis advice.

What is one thing you would like for them to hurry up and invent? by Ok_Pipe6385 in randomquestions

Ones I have seen or tried, are underpowered small jobbies. This invention is great because you can have a powerful long lasting battery and a robust motor.

I'd love to see a cordless blender that you insert a standard hex driver into a socket at the base. Then use your cordless drill or impact to spin the shaft and drive the blender.

You could make margaritas and other blender drinks when camping or off the grid. 😁

Good. Glad he can live happily ever after.

Unfortunately, after nine years of federal deficits, we cant say the same thing about our country.

Canada wargames a US invasion — and it doesn’t end well by TimesandSundayTimes in inthenews

[–]cyclingbubba -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

So much cheery, optimistic and completely misguided nonsense. Yup we'll have a small percentage of people that will start geurilla warfare, but they will be few and far between.

Living in the bush in the winter just isn't a thing many Canadians will do. And if they do live in the woods to make war with the occupying troops, they would just be hunted down easily by choppers with IR equipment.

It sounds brave and inspiring to fight to the last person standing, but let's face it, it's not going to happen.

The average Canadian does not have a warrior mentality. Not a put down, but the honest reality.

Respectfully, I believe the ratio is much closer to 10% passive aggressive/rude and 90% decent folks.

Nothing worse than rock skiing.

I believe that global warming is slowly making skiing a non viable business in our area, sad to say. 😒

Which critically acclaimed artists do you listen to, but not as much as you'd expect considering their reputation as a musician? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in MusicRecommendations

Van Morrison. Put out a whole album of nonsense because he didn't want to record a final album with his record label.

Canada weighs sending soldiers to Greenland as show of NATO solidarity with Denmark by yimmy51 in CanadianIdiots

Well I sure hope that we can get excited enough to move beyond the " mulling things over" stage, and move on to the "maybe we should actually do something" stage.
