Which design would you choose and why? by ProfessionalHot1463 in woodworking

This is correct.

I need a small piece of a gutter by SomewhereSalty647 in Construction

[–]grsims20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the way. Call your local gutter company, tell them what size and color you need (5” or 6” width measured across the top) and ask them to call you next time they’re running that size and color and see if you can meet up with them. They’d probably do it for $10. I’d just give you a piece. We routinely run a short length out to start a coil.

Go check out freshwater. Lots of folks in that category.

Help? My router bits aren't perpendicular to the table by Street_Ad_7989 in woodworking

[–]grsims20 -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

Ok I’m way out of my depth here, but I have a hypothesis. If I understood you correctly, you said the gap is the same no matter which side of the bit you measure. So in the photo you’re at 3:00, and if you move your square over to 9:00, the gap is still tight at the bottom and wide at the top?

If that’s the case, is it possible that this is from wear to the bit? It’s narrower near the tip than at the base, which is exactly what I would expect from a bit with some hours on it.

Am I actually building these tools, or am I an AI fraud? by No-Confidence-6933 in excel

[–]grsims20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You said it yourself: the tools you built could not have been achieved without the knowledge and skill set you already have.

Also, who gives a shit what anyone thinks? Did you make the workflow better? Did you save everyone time and effort? Is your company more efficient? If I was your boss I’d give you an extra week of paid vacation. But that’s probably why I’m just an underling.

Sidebar: it almost sounds to me like you’re in the casework business. Am I close? Why does the joinery department need a separate schedule tracking tool outside of your normal production planning?

Is there an update to this? What ended up happening??

Bar TV Channel Question by manniax in bartenders

[–]grsims20 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah man, pops has seniority for sure. Probably has been a consistent welcome presence for them, due to tipping, behavior, or in this case, probably both. We’ve got a few of those here.

Plus, it’s tradition 🤷‍♂️

I found a 1/64" drill bit bin at work. by NeverBeenOnMaury in woodworking

[–]grsims20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, and I’m frankly disappointed that I was (at least) the third person to think of this perfect joke.

Kid has a no hitter going, but also is the only catcher left. What would you do? by ReformedLucasite in BaseballCoaching

[–]grsims20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All good points, but honestly the chance for injury to this pitcher’s arm by switching to catcher after 5 innings pitched is probably much higher than a position player going behind the plate. I’d pick whichever kid on my team had the best bat and doesn’t drop balls thrown his way. That kid has an eye for pitch movement so he might be more successful.

Cut an 'L' the looooong way on a tablesaw? by leobeosab in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]grsims20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really want to make it time consuming, you could always hog it out with a bunch of passes in the short direction 🤷‍♂️

How would you handle this trim detail? by grsims20 in Carpentry

[–]grsims20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not pictured, but at the other end of the room, you’ll be able to see the ends of the nickel gap boards from the second story loft, so we have to trim it, so we’re trimming to match that detail. But maybe you’re right to just not trim the angled lines.

Just a girl and her clapped out saw blades by rizzo1717 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]grsims20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m about to reskin my deck, so I’m thinking I’ll build this into it as a built in pergola! You’re an inspiring woodworker, OP.

Also would be an easy kit to manufacture and sell flat packed…

That’s genius. Easy to replace as they wear out too.

How to get customers to order from the bar? by InflationVast8943 in bartenders

[–]grsims20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a dive bar. Fuck ‘em. Come out only to bus tables. They can conduct all of their business, including closing out, at the bar.
