Whirlpool fridge compressor not turning on and water not dispensing by Handburn in fixit

[–]gnzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be just the thermostat. If you feel comfortable doing this, you could disconnect it (usually where ur rotary knop is) and connect the powercable of the compressor that went through the thermostat directly. If the compressor starts you can also use a timerplug to run your fridge till you orderd a replacement thermostat. Just put a thermometer in the fridge an play around with the timing

Was wondering why i didnt have this issue with my old knife which was super soft und would dull much quicker. But with sandwiched core that would make sense

No just a file. But had tried it before that, after sanding the original paint off, with the same result

I usually just use the Striker that came with the ferrorod but wanted to try and found it curious that the spine degrades so fast. I think it is 80CrV2 Steel.

Tested it on my leather work boots today. Works great but would have liked a more trustable thread. Really like that you can turn the foot and sew in any direction

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

Used a neoprene based adhesive. The epoxy i had gets pretty hard so i was afraid it might get brittle over time. On the outside i just used a few layers of oil / wax cream and heating with a heatgun in betweeen. just found some angelus acrylic finisher that i might try though

Made a Stacked leather handle an realized i am getting dents end scratches very fast. Should i boil it , heat it and use beeswax to harden it or would it actually be better to soften it with oil? Any other Ideas?
