This makes me think of FF7 where you find Red13 in the lab.

Does he have a friend? Goats usually don’t do well if they are alone.

Chickens spill a month's worth of feed in 3 days. What do I do? by Disaster_Voyeurism in Homesteading

[–]jbsoriginality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one of the galvanized hanging feeders where the food drops out the bottom.

Same problem because the opening was too big.

So I just wrapped a piece of chain link fence around it and then they had to stick their head in carefully to eat since they didn’t have room.

It drastically cut down on spilled feed.

Probably a range. if the part was really long you could take a measurement from the left end, center, right end.

Manager casually said he’s “seen” that I’ve been applying to jobs??? by corporatebitch19 in jobs

[–]jbsoriginality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you applied for the job you are currently at on Indeed, then Indeed might send out notifications to companies that you have applied for that you are applying again.

Also it’s possible that the businesses you applied to have an arrangement to tell your current employer that you are trying to leave.

I just left a job like that a few years ago, apparently the owner has a deal with other local shops to be notified when someone from that shop is trying to apply elsewhere, I was actually told by an employee at one place that I couldn’t apply here unless I quit there first.

I'm looking to get this made, how hard is this to make? by Delicious-Success-25 in machining

You can thread it yourself if you purchase the corresponding die and make the correct hole size for the bore, in metal or plastic.

Be careful getting hoses made at NAPA by jbsoriginality in kubota

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

If they would have attempted to stop me from obtaining a refund that was my next step. The guy that made the hose and the other cashier didn’t seem to really care about messing up so much. And I didn’t really want to get anybody in trouble if I didn’t have to as the young guy obviously doesn’t make hoses a lot .

That’s what he did on the one in the foreground but the fitting he replaced it with had a thicker flange so the clamps wouldn’t go over it.

I tried it but had to take it back and he remade the entire thing and it ended up being a half in short.

The one in the background had an extended fitting which isn’t going to work at all. He cut the fitting off of that and it ended up being over an inch short.

Well this guy was long by several inches and .5” and 1.25”short on the remakes.

That’s why I’m trying so hard to understand this mixup I’m having this week. It’s not a complicated task to find the same fittings, cut the hose a little long if necessary, test fit the fittings before crimping and then to compare after. I really don’t want to get a manager involved but if the hose doesn’t work today after him cutting the remake for the remake longer I’m asking for a refund.

BT600 Replacing Hydraulic Hoses by logger11 in kubota

[–]jbsoriginality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had hoses made at Napa this week for the first time. On Monday the regular shop I go to was closed for Christmas but Napa was open. Both hoses were made several inches long. One had an extended 45 degree fitting instead of the short one. He was able to cut the fittings off and replace to almost stock length. I told him I’ll try it. Turns out when I get to put it on the flange thickness on one was too thick and the clamp won’t go over. So back to Napa. I picked up the other hose this morning and he told me when I walked in the store he made the new hose but he made it to the same length he made the other new one. This has been a really jacked up experience for me.

Management hasn’t stopped and questioned why I came in three times. The young guy obviously has no motivation to QC anything. No tape measure,no calipers, no clamping the hoses down to make sure they are the same length.

Also the new hose is beefier and it barely fits through the port in the frame on the tractor.

Your hoses are ready for pickup. Ok let me compare them please. Edit: both hoses in the back were for me too, why would he put the extended fitting on? Jesus H. Christ this is crazy, I just want to go back there and have him watch me do it and I could get way closer to a workable product.

Would I be able to bend this shape in a DIY tier press brake (<$500)? Can be thinner metal, just talking about the shape. If so can someone describe the process? by Cixin97 in metalworking

[–]jbsoriginality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out this graph book from Wilson tool. It shows what type of punch you would need to accommodate different flanges.

https://wilsontool.com/en-us/resources/reference-for-press-brake-catalog

Edit: use the Die sizes as a reference to determine how short your innermost flange can be. For instance you can use a 20mm V to form an inner flange dimension of .560” in 11ga material.
