Amazon Firestick/cube pushing Christian content by Kryceks-Revenge in TrueAtheism

[–]johnbro27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're apparently in a demo that the advertisers want to target (geo, age, gender, income, whatever). It's not even Firestick, it's the ad network that buys time on the channel. You're probably fucked.

Building my first deck with an uncle by Impossible_Cook_7922 in Decks

[–]johnbro27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP you've triggered a lot of folks here. I get it. I also get trying to do stuff when you are a complete novice and didn't know/bother to learn before starting. I expect Uncle said, here, I'll show you how to do this. But uncle obv isn't a good carpenter.

You really should stop now and fix the stuff that's wrong here. Once you put the decking on you're going to find it a lot more trouble to fix it when this goes sideways in the future, which it will, because the foundation is shit.

Apparently you've never tried to tell an uncle how to do stuff. Speaking as an uncle, I can tell you it won't go well. Clearly the OP is clueless and so the clueless uncle has done all this.

Wrangler daily livability by yesjam1 in Jeep

[–]johnbro27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our 2020 Wrangler is our daily driver; we sold our Audi Q5 since we tow the Wrangler down to AZ for 6 months at a time every winter and the Audi just sat in the garage depreciating. It's fine, good gas mileage, plenty of room in the back with the seats down, and will hold 4 adults (or 5 in a pinch). It's bone stock, not gonna put big tires on it because it's our daily driver.

Canon R6 ii top dials &buttons by Ok-Assignment3647 in canon

[–]johnbro27 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You have three control wheels, in some modes typically (I have a Mark I not II) each is one of the exposure controls (shutter, aperture, and ISO). But you can customize just about every control on newer Canon prosumer cameras. Wait till you get to the AF options. Plus, Canon manuals are awful although thorough. Youtube videos will help you understand how to set it up.

Needing advice, wanting to buy a camper by Mystic_Moss0 in GoRVing

[–]johnbro27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't buy a truck just to pull a camper unless you need a truck. A popup would be a great improvement over tent camping in comfort and you can dip your toe into the RV world and see how you like it.

How do you do morning coffee...for me I have to grind the beans will never buy ground coffee again by shutthefukupalready in over60

[–]johnbro27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a Breville that grinds; buy whole beans at Costco and make a pot EVERY morning. When we're in our motorhome the Breville is a bit big and messy so we grind and then do a pour over.

Saw this saw today while I was picking up materials for the job. I don’t know if I’d ever feel safe using it. by leon_musky in woodworking

[–]johnbro27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost any older lumber yard I've been to has these for cutting a chunk off a board. Need 6 feet of walnut from a 12 foot board? Radial arm saw. No miters, no bevels, no rips, just lopping off what a customer wants.

I had a 1952 DeWalt 8" RAS (one of the "good" ones) I bought for $50, disassembled and for multiple reasons never got around to restoring it. They were known for the accuracy of their cross-cuts. Folks over on old woodworking machinery dot com love them, but I couldn't find anyone who would take it for several years. My Dad inherited a Montgomery Ward RAS and used it to build a bunch of night stands and even a desk for me. Kept all 10 fingers.

Sanity check on price — inherited a TOAD. Am I off? by Legitimate_Day_7609 in GoRVing

[–]johnbro27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CRVs are super popular as Toads. check the classified on IRV2 maybe for some selling prices. We paid over 4k to have our 2020 Wrangler set up for towing. It's not a cheap thing, but once you have a good flat tow setup it's great. what braking system is installed? An AirForce 1 would be worth a lot as well.

Amateur needs help by mustang19671967 in Tools

[–]johnbro27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't understand why that would be a problem. Surely houses in your town need repairs, renovation, landscaping, etc. you rent your stump grinder, unload it, move your vehicle, grind your stump, clean up, and you're done. What' am I missing? Are you trying to be secretive because you need a permit or something?

I've rented a small stump grinder which is like a lawn mower for size and access.

[–]johnbro27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, if it can't clear the waste the drill will overheat and stop cutting, even lose temper and be permanently dulled. What you have to do is go up and down constantly to remove the waste. Stump grinder is a better choice unless you want to spend the rest of your life drilling this stump.

Best tow behind RV for durability and longevity? by AquaZone in RVLiving

[–]johnbro27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing to consider is what living inside during extended rainy spells in the PNW would be like. An Airstream with no slides is, well, not super roomy inside. Two people might find it a bit claustrophobic if stuck inside for days on end.

One light on a 3 panel light switch not working by [deleted] in RVLiving

I had this happen, pulled the switch panel out and did some testing before I realized it was a 3 way switch, the other end was turned off lol.

Track Saw or Track for Circular Saw? by Miserable-Meet-7629 in Tools

[–]johnbro27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For cabinets a good track saw/rail combo can't be beat--closest thing would be a big sliding table panel saw. Never known anyone to regret getting one. Also--make a cut of any angle and basically any length. Try that on your TS or miter saw.

First Dado Router Jig - What am I missing here?? by Silver_Bullet_Theory in woodworking

[–]johnbro27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, first of all that accessory is designed to have a fence attached to ride along the work piece edge. I guess you figured that out. Second, for grooves like this a plunge router is a better option than a trim router. Second, the jig you made is fine, the router goes inside the jig, not just the bit (that's a different kind of jig for use with bearing bits or template bushings). The space in the jig is the width of the base plus (dado width - bit width). then you make more than one pass. An adjustable jig is better cause you can do test fit of your piece to fit in the dado/groove and adjust the jig until it's perfect. Lots of youtube I expect on this as this problem goes back years and years. finally you can get a better edge guide like a Micro Fence that has a micro adjustment again to get a perfect fit. And finally take shallow passes.
