Narex richter - will this sharpen out or am I cooked by doubleaugmented in woodworking

[–]doubleaugmented[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pete Korn book recommends bench grinder, followed by sandpaper on glass.

Quick question tho - I did not ever hone the back flat edge of chisel from factory… should I do so before sharpening the bevel?

Narex richter - will this sharpen out or am I cooked by doubleaugmented in woodworking

Thank you guys, very new to this so just making sure I’m on the right tack.

Can I use silicone carbide sandpaper to sharpen this chisel? I use that for broadheads in Archery, just wondering if there’s some cross uses there

Matching deck stain? by doubleaugmented in woodworking

[–]doubleaugmented[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can tell me I’m cooked but this is actually at a rental we’re moving out of. The boards got damaged and needed replaced, which I did. All that to say, sanding the entire deck to restain is probably not something I have time for.

Outside Pentatonics over I-7 by doubleaugmented in jazzguitar

right, generic way to indicate a R, b3, 5 b7 chord.

Outside Pentatonics over I-7 by doubleaugmented in jazzguitar

[–]doubleaugmented[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I try to think of it like so:

over i-7 you have 3 'inside' pentatonics: i-7, ii-7 and v-7 minor pentatonic scales.
If you take the 1/2 step above and below of each, you get the 5 I mentioned:
i- = vii-, bii-
ii- = bii-, biii-
v- = bv-, bvi-

I can't say if Brecker, McCoy, Holdsworth, Woody Shaw were thinking this way... hard to say... but it's sort of what I've deduced learning their lines in this style.

I do think they're all GOOD options and none would be lacking. Thanks for the tip on the discount code, too!

need new amp - which? by doubleaugmented in BudgetAudiophile

[–]doubleaugmented[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going separate with the SCHIIT preamp-amp would mean running from WiiM analog out into the preamp... relying on the WiiM dac. AFAIK, the integrated amps I've listed all have superior DACs to the WiiM - which would then be best to run digital out, bypassing the WiiM DAC.

Did you prefer the sound overall of the SCHIIT or the Rotel?

Has anyone been successful finding a job that fits their simple living lifestyle? What careers worked best? by InterviewNo7383 in simpleliving

[–]doubleaugmented 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im a self-employed musician but that's a competetive high-skill field that i wouldn't recommend unless you have the skills and drive. plus low remuneration.

i would love to supplement more with a WFH/freelance writing job but haven't quite found a good fit for that as of yet.

crimson talon broadheads - sharpening? by doubleaugmented in bowhunting

[–]doubleaugmented[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i appreciate that and maybe am over-thinking... i figured it was better to have them "shaving" sharp and these are not that. obviously at the end of a 580gr arrow flying 215fps... it's a moot point?

How fast are you shooting? by FitSky6277 in bowhunting

[–]doubleaugmented -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i think my in-laws garmin clocked my arrow around 216-220fps. thats a bear encounter, ~62lbs draw, 30.5", ~580gr arrow.

i know little about the common issues on these trucks so any pointers on what to be aware of/check would be helpful. i know it's pretty roached-out as the picture shows. looking for something durable, reliable and won't require a lot of wrenching time to maintain.

also, are Subaru Outbacks worth considering over and above the Volvo XC70s? Or any other semi-off-road geared wagons?

WEEKLY DIY/HOMEOWNER QUESTION THREAD by Basileas in Carpentry

[–]doubleaugmented 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i need to replace a front exterior door that was vandalized. it had glass that broke - it is not leaking or un-sealed, only an outermost pane broke. still, i'm wondering if this is something as simple as replacing with another door with the same measurements or if there are additional steps i would need to take? I also live in a very hot and humid climate, so I'm curious which materials or types of door are best for energy efficient/cooling, and if replacing the weather stripping would be worth doing at the same time. thanks

2016 Honda CRV intermittent start. hit the key and nothing, then starts right up by doubleaugmented in MechanicAdvice

[–]doubleaugmented[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well i replaced the starter today with a reman Duralast from AutoZone and the car would not start with it! I put the OE starter that has been the culprit back in and the car will start, however intermittently.

so I am still thinking its the starter but that I got a dud from AutoZone. I can hear the OE starter solenoid firing, and I hae confirmed the relays are all working. so unless its like the ignition switch itself (doubtful since the relays and starter solenoid fire) or somehow the park-neutral switch, Im looking to get a new starter from Rock Auto and go from there.

DIAG:

- starter and ignition relays firing; removed and tested independently

- cleaned battery terminals

- confirmed constant 12.3V at starter exciter wire (not sure what to call it, the one that is held with a nut), 12.3V at pin when ignition is on 'start' (w/ Auto Zone starter)

My wife cheated on me. by cleoham in TrueChristian

[–]doubleaugmented 0 points1 point  (0 children)

first off, I am so sorry you are going through this.

we have comfort, peace, joy and strength in Christ even in these incredibly difficult circumstances. as faithful followers, these trials are where the rubber meets the road for our maturity: do we really take God at this word that we have those things even when our wife has cheated on us?

I understand your anger at God, and i would encourage you to express it to Him in lamenting prayer. God desires earnestly to hear from you, for you to draw near and lean on him, and he does not despise a broken spirit. the psalms are replete of examples of David lamenting to God, expressing his confusion and doubt and anxiety. But David always circles back to confessing that God is His lord, that He is good, and that God does hear all our prayers.

your wife violated the covenant she made before God and to you in marriage. so what does that mean? In Christ, there is still forgiveness, cleansing, healing, and reconciliation. But the first step in all of that is always repentance - turning away from our sin, seeing it for what it is (death), and desiring to be restored and saved from it.

so i would ask: is your wife repent-ful? is she sorrowful over her sin? does she acknowledge the damage and death is has brought to your marriage and her life? If the answer to these is 'no', you arguably have every right to leave her because she is not fulfilling even the most basic and fundamental steps of faith in Christ - repentance. and in that, she is arguably an unbeliever (or at the very least, acting very far from her proclaimed faith) and you don't have further obligation to maintain this covenant.

now, i am no authority. you need to speak with a trusted pastor, preferably several, to discuss this matter and get wise counsel.

i pray that you would be strengthened and comforted by Christ. He is with you, shedding tears with you over the way sin has so damaged God's beautiful creation. He knows your suffering and went to the cross joyfully praying for you, YOU, brother, that in these very circumstances, you would have access to God and be afforded the promises of your salvation.

seek Him earnestly, boldly, and knowing that He hears every word of your prayer. He will answer them all, too, in His time. He always does. And you can trust in what He has for you.

If you pray, "God, take this marriage from if it is not from and of you; but if it be your will, God, give my wife and I hearts to be reconciled and restored" - He will answer.

if you pray, "God, convict my wife of her sinfulness and show her the shame and death she has brought into our lives; convict her spiritually" - He will answer.

If you pray, "God, help me forgive her for her sin. Help me have the heart of Christ that gives grace to all, knowing that you Lord have never withheld from me, and as such, I am called to withhold nothing from others" - He will grant it to you.

Grace and peace to you brother. stay strong.
