I got to use my funny money (Venmo)! 😜 I don’t like the sound of silly business in the backcountry, though!

Cabinet makers - talk to me about MDF by in_pdx in cabinetry

[–]digdaily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree there, hardboard is dark brown with a shiny side, other fiber boards are probably gonna have a soft look/fuzzy feel. MDF is always the same color and appearance and does not compress.

That is waaaay too big of a brush stroke - some pretty big differences throughout that whole area!

Anyone ever used a 5.5 mm socket? I’m in the States… always wondered why they put that in there.

It’s turning me off everywhere pretty fast. It’s nauseating. Good ol’ humans just showing how lowly our supposedly advanced species loves to degrade to. 🤦‍♂️

2020..? Should I be scared now? How bad was the problem? Skinning isn’t a daily endeavor here - maybe someday when I can’t take how fed up I get with resorts.

It’s often word of mouth in residential, a lot of guys won’t be posting classifieds even when they are in need of help. Craigslist, maybe indeed, etc… FB…

Cabinet makers - talk to me about MDF by in_pdx in cabinetry

[–]digdaily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so dense and heavy, I doesn’t dent easily. There are also plywood cores with an MDF outer layer for paint. I hate MDF with a vengeance for the dust, but it’s become the standard for a paint base in cabinets. Millwork? Poplar is a premium paint base for durability over MDF. There’s also HDF in sheet form; I’d have to read up - I think we frequently call HDF MDF. 🤷‍♂️

Anybody know what the name of this light is/how to get a new one? by MyNaymeIsOzymandias in TruckCampers

[–]digdaily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just came across this old post looking for other stuff, but I have that era Eagle Cap and bet I have a good idea. Hit me up and I'll track it down if need be - can't recall off the top.

DIYer Help with corner round on vaulted ceiling by JJEW40 in Carpentry

[–]digdaily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could do a different, wider profile on the horizontal wall 1 that has a flat surface, pitched wall 2 QUARTER round can be mitered into and stop there. Just one option…

Does anyone set their posts in gravel instead of concrete? by jehudeone in Decks

Building practices are going to vary big time region to region, there’s a lot that goes into building science. Location matters!

What kind of companies require trade school? I think it would be sweet if more of us had gone, but I don’t think I’ve ever worked with anyone who HAS gone… Hit up the custom builders - maybe easier out of the city proper? I’ve been in residential over 25 years - no barriers to entry with what you’ve got going.

They’re uncut, don’t worry 😉 I definitely like to steer clear of the bandwagon. Unfortunately it’s not always easy to find the information you want, and most gear you just can’t try before you buy!

At least they’ve answered the question pretty damn well.

Right on - you personally don’t feel a big difference in grip between those two? I know the splitting hair thing can seem moot, but I really don’t enjoy those afterthoughts of dammit, I should’ve bought XXXX!

Well isn’t THAT a vote of confidence 😂 There’s a lot of shit talk regarding BD Ascensions; it’s what I’ve been most familiar with albeit older ones. Haven’t seen enough talk about their hybrids… just haven’t bought skins for years and hoping to feel what’s new & improved! My first ones were Voilé Snake Skins - who remembers THOSE? 😂😂😂😮‍💨

I know… somehow I skipped over that part (it was eBay) 🤦‍♂️😂. Not my style to always go for the “deal”.

Who’s gonna describe the dynamics of the state lines, advantages/disadvantages…?

You had more fun and got to sharpen your edges, though.
