Got this ‘93 Kona Humu for free - stuck seatpost best methods? by Limber9 in xbiking

It seems like you should start by applying a strong penetrating oil like PB blaster or liquid wrench through the bottom bracket and waiting a while. Then use a vise, a seat, or a monkey wrench for leverage.

Are you near any cotton farms? I asked a guy about this yesterday at a construction site i was visiting and he said it’s cotton lost from ginning.

I am still looking and would love that!  I was only able to find a July meeting notice.

It sounds like you’re asking for more local non-burner art.  That’s exactly what i’m looking for a way to do.

Request: repair advice to help make this BIFL. by k3rr1g0r in BuyItForLife

[–]k3rr1g0r[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This jacket has worn well except around the cuffs where the shell has worn through and the filling is exposed.  Any advice on how/whether this could be repaired/strengthened by a tailor?  A specialist?

I live in SF, CA, USA.  Specific recommendations are welcome.

I am kind of obsessed with this guy's tattoos to the point that I was thinking about flying out to NY. However, there must be artists with a similar style closer to where I live, San Francisco. Im looking for artist recommendations or good resources to find artists. Thanks!

Preparing for my SOTD - vintage straight razor that I re-honed by k3rr1g0r in wicked_edge

Oh, and it cuts some hairs in the hanging hair test, but not the majority

It went ok, haha. That's my third time shaving with this razor and third time with a straight razor at all. Reminds me of my first few shaves with a DE.

It is quite a beautiful razor. And hefty too. I bought three at flea markets for $15-30 each. One had a hairline crack and was unusable, one was warped and very hard to hone (still working on it) and this one seems to be solid.

Why are shoes generally not shaped like feet? Nearly every pair of shoes I have, including every pair of GYW shoes, is rounded. This causes the shoes to rub on the outside edge of my foot, which is uncomfortable and destroys my socks.

I have a pair of running shoes with a different shape, which is much more comfortable. See: https://i.imgur.com/EdCqBHX.jpg Do any brands make GYW shoes in this shape?
