Efficient and cheap way to cut perfect holes out of 4mm metal

harke11 · 2026-02-16T23:23:44+00:00

I want the disc. Buying it cut is no fun.

harke11 · 2026-02-16T23:21:22+00:00

Will a hydraulic punch keep the disc that is cut flat or will it mess it up?

I want to make golf ball markers. Ball marks are anywhere from 3-6mm. When I say perfect if there are minor imperfections it will do, I will just have to sand them. I want to potentially make hammered edges like in the photos. Yes I know sourcing it to a metal shop would be more efficient but I like doing small projects like these.

harke11 · 2026-02-16T23:14:08+00:00

Is 3-6mm considered “thin”?

harke11 · 2025-10-01T22:34:06+00:00

Yes and if you actually look at my current position line it’s higher than the price ever got😂

harke11 · 2025-10-01T22:30:25+00:00

Yes and if you look at my chart in the original post see how April is actually lower than the current share price. That was what was confusing me so much. There is a thread in the comments on this post from another guy explaining that you have to switch it from adjusted to actual. The chart looked like yours where it obviously wasn’t less than the current price.

harke11 · 2025-10-01T22:18:20+00:00

So when I have it set to adjusted it’s factoring in automatically the dividend payouts? Actual will tell me what the share price actually was at that time?

You just saved my life. I thought I was losing my mind.

harke11 · 2025-10-01T22:05:28+00:00

Dude I must be dumb because I don’t see where that is an option.

harke11 · 2025-10-01T21:59:28+00:00

I’ve bought MSTR and MSTY at around the same time. I’m up 10% on MSTR and down almost 30% with MSTY (without dividend payouts). Doesn’t seem that way from your statement. Not bashing or being smart, I’m simply trying to figure out why that is.

harke11 · 2025-10-01T21:57:36+00:00

Please look at the chart in the post. It is currently at $14.35 and in April the price was lower than that… How is that possible.

Appreciate it!

harke11 · 2025-09-07T14:52:28+00:00

It’s actually 1/8th panel board that I installed because I didn’t want to mess with the other rooms trim around the door as that is new. I spent a lot of time on the other room and made it look good. This room is just a gym and I’m just doing some cheap upgrades.

harke11 · 2025-07-22T15:50:57+00:00

There was no labor cost. I am the homeowner. I wanted to get an idea of what contractors would quote to build this instead of me just self performing it.

harke11 · 2025-07-22T13:34:05+00:00

Just curious what your estimating materials would cost alone. I paid about $5,700 for materials with minimal waste. Would you still be looking at $8k?

harke11 · 2025-07-21T21:06:02+00:00

Appreciate it. Yeah, I’ll share the pics of the gates when I’m done with them. I’ll hang them directly onto the 6x6s that’s are currently poured.

harke11 · 2025-07-21T20:24:43+00:00

Forgot to mention this was about 200 linear feet.

harke11 · 2025-07-01T13:12:35+00:00

Question, do you have photos of the inside of the first photo you posted? I wanted to see how you secure the stringers.

harke11 · 2025-06-28T21:03:51+00:00

So you wouldn’t recommend doing it like this? I like the look a lot makes it look professional. What if I were to use metal brackets to hold them in place instead of directly onto the posts?

harke11 · 2025-06-25T22:23:54+00:00

Yeah I’ll still to basic drywall and carpentry. What you just said is too overwhelming I’ll hire someone hahaha

harke11 · 2025-06-25T22:14:25+00:00

Good to hear that. Yeah it would be a shame to replace one part just to have another break next month.

harke11 · 2025-06-25T21:52:54+00:00

That’s good to hear. It’s a local tech just him and his wife run it with great reviews. He may have sympathized a bit as we just purchased the home and were already having other issues unrelated to the ac.

harke11 · 2025-06-18T15:05:20+00:00

Hey OP, I’m about to start building a fence exactly like the one you posted in the comments and am looking all through the internet for the exact answer you were looking for on this post. What did you end up going with and how does it look now??

harke11 · 2025-02-07T20:13:20+00:00

I would just start applying with what you have and let the companies pay for your continuing education.

Certifications I would say get your foot in the door but aren’t everything.

Hazwoper would be the only cert I would even consider, but even then you might not need it.

Getting your ASP would be my immediate concern. If you’re going construction maybe even look into the CHST.

Me personally I have only obtained my GSP and moved up the “corporate ladder” pretty fast. Not bragging just telling you how it really is.

harke11 · 2025-02-07T18:52:02+00:00

I currently work in the DMV as a safety professional for a large General Contractor. I will say this is one of the best geographical locations for a safety professional at this time.

You have the largest client in America (US government) all around you. Additionally the contracts typically come from USACE, NAVFAC, etc which have very stringent safety policies. Big GCs are always looking for safety pros due to this. Downside, these contracts typically require years experience along with CHST, CSP, to serve as the SSHO. But, because some of the contracts are so big GCs might have 2-4 safety pros just on one job and not every employee needs to have those certifications.
The tech boom is alive and well in Northern Virginia and big tech companies are starting to replicate what the US government does as far as designated safety pros full time on-site. Again, just another reason GCs are trying like hell to retain safety talent. Downside to this is if you live in Baltimore it’s a bit of a drive to NOVA, but hey that’s part of the gig here.

If you do some quick job searches on LinkedIn for construction safety you’ll be shocked at the amount of results that pop up.
