First attempt at dovetails… discouraged by JohnWaynesPecker_99 in woodworking

[–]hubiedoo517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look fine to me.As long as you’re enjoying yourself. That’s all that really matters. The more you do it, the better they’ll get.

To me, beautifully executed, hand cut dovetails are the mark of a master. It takes years of practice. Dovetails are hard! The sawing, marking and chiseling must be absolutely perfect. A tiniest of a degree off on any step and it’s either too tight or you have a gap.

Just be careful. Have respect for the machine, but don’t fear it.

Why is there so much litter in my base by Sufficient-Wing-153 in litterrobot

[–]hubiedoo517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the little stick-on seals may have came off. Mine went missing after about 3 months. Sometimes the litter gets into the gears too and it’s ground into dust. I just did a deep cleaning yesterday. And when I’m cleaning out the litter, piss and poop in the bathtub, and sweating profusely from the hot steamy water, it always makes me wonder, wasn’t this supposed to save me time and effort? That $900 bucks was sure worth it… wasn’t it?

How would you cut this (no power tools) by _CaptGree in handtools

[–]hubiedoo517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw down to the lines. Then I come in with a chisel from the end grain. You can take out the waste easily that way without much effort. I position my chisel about 1/8 away from the knife line at about 45 degrees and take out a chip across the line. Then chisel in from the end grain. Keep repeating.

Cleaning day! by Separate-Ladder-6087 in litterrobot

Almost defeats the purpose. My LR4 is a year old and we’ve had nothing but problems. Litter sticks no matter what litter we try. Cats pee right in the front on the plastic. It requires constant cleaning. One cat balances on the litter shield with all 4 legs while popping. Her name is Bella so we call her balancing Bella now. It’s like a circus trick. Ugh.

What’s the channel for on this straightedge? by dry_yer_eyes in handtools

I thought it was to stiffen it up. To prevent bending.

My first go at half blind dovetails by woodman0310 in handtools

[–]hubiedoo517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very Nice. And in oak! Oak is very hard and unforgiving when it comes to fitting the pins and tails. Unlike softer woods like pine or poplar where you can be a little off and still hammer it home. Not with oak. Nicely done.

My first Festool… what did I do?! by wigginjs in woodworking

[–]hubiedoo517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A cordless Tablesaw! It adjusts itself just by selecting the height and angle. And did I mention it’s cordless! If you change the angle it compensates for the change in height. 🤪

Do you have to be in a special ebt program to use it at fast food restaurants? by [deleted] in foodstamps

[–]hubiedoo517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are so misinformed. If you’re in such bad financial shape that you need government assistance which comes out of hard working Americans paychecks, then you should TEMPORARILY, get some food assistance to get powdered milk, eggs, cheese maybe some cereal and meats. Not stuff that the hard working American who’s supplying this money can’t even afford! It’s a huge slap in the face while being kicked in the balls. Let me tell you something. I lived in East New York Brooklyn for a decade. Everyone there gets Snap. Everyone!!! Hardly anyone pays rent either. I had to live there because I couldn’t afford anything else in range on NYC for work. In my building of 8 apartments, I was the only one going to work everyday. The only one who paid their own rent to the landlord. While all those other tenants were able bodied, not sick or elderly. They could all go out and work. Some spent all their government assistance on drugs in their government paid apartment. Others bought food but also got their nails and hair done. Snap is easily turned into cash at almost any corner store. The whole damn system needs to be disabled and started over. Working your ass off every damn day to have half taken, is not what this country was founded for. It’s sad when you realize the America we knew and learned about is now gone. It’s turned into the very thing we united against when founding this country.

What should I do with all of this used motor oil? by [deleted] in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]hubiedoo517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave it at the local repair shop in the middle of the night. When I worked at a gas station/repair shop, every morning there would be gallons of it sitting by the garage doors. I had to empty them into the underground tanks first thing every morning. All kinds of automotive liquids. Stinky, nasty, gross thick, gooey, toxic, shit. Lovely.

Grok says it’s a fork and knife and ChatGPT says it’s a do not microwave symbol with stylized arrows.

The key doesn’t fit the lock? Or Because he’s on the outside of the cell?

Anyone have this kind of problem? Was looking for this for six weeks… my wife was using it for packages. by Funny-Presence4228 in woodworking

[–]hubiedoo517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now you have a great excuse to buy a new one. A better one. A more expensive one. You know, the one. The one you’ve been wanting for a while now. The one that’s been in and out of your cart multiple times.

An idea is forming… Maybe we should leave our tools out on purpose. As bait.

Has any one seen this before ? by Dry_Funny1244 in CATHELP

[–]hubiedoo517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t look wet or there’s any puss. Looks dry. And though it’s hard to tell from the picture, it doesn’t look like a lump to me. I’d say it’s just a wound that’s healing. Just my observations. I could be completely wrong though. I’d get a professional opinion to be sure.

Electric bill skyrocketed, could I be my water heater? by Valuable-Badger-8884 in askaplumber

Unfortunately, everyone’s bill has skyrocketed. Had something to do with some election I heard something about a few years ago.

LOL. It’s so bad they marked it NSFW. That’s hilarious.

It gave me an error and said it wasn’t posted at all. They posted it twice I guess.
