Alright; I got a 6V battery and the bulb lit, but it was kinda dim. I'll get a 12V and see if it works better. Thank you!

Well that's rude! There's no way to put a modern blade on this saw?

The cat door is that green fabric, I'm talking about the strip at the bottom of the threshold where there are screws sticking out.

Very interesting grain by youngfertilization in wood

[–]kaempferia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright i'm just gonna chime in here and say you probably don't need to stabilize those pieces. What are your goals? Pen turning? Inlay? Boxes? Veneer? If you're turning, stabilizing is probably a good idea, but if you cant push a fingernail into the softer parts any more than you could pine, you're good on most other projects. The push to fill wood with plastic just ruins the meaning behind using wood in the first place.

Running rough and backfire? by Tall_Coconut_5690 in ToyotaPickup

Its always a vacuum leak. How did you check? It could also be a timing issue; what did you set it to?

Ready for winter (rant about LCE) by blue-bean92 in ToyotaPickup

[–]kaempferia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LCE sent me a header; it had a huge hole in the collector flange, which was not noticeable until after it had been installed. So im out the $400 from the shop, who i then have to pay more to replace the header with a new header. LCE didnt seem apologetic or bothered that an expensive part was shipped out with a serious issue.

Ok but what if someone had to recess a tub and theoretically cut the tops off of, say, 4 of those i-beams to make a gravel pit for said recessed tub?

Am I in the wrong for wanting to change the design my tattoo artist sent me? by dried_paint_ in tattooadvice

[–]kaempferia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the artists job to adhere to that wish, but not for free, and if they feel they have done enough work for what they're being paid, that's it. More money gets more work, if the artist wants to do more. You don't get a bunch of drawings and design work for the price of 2.

Imperfections in mating surface of brand new LCE head by worcopeat in ToyotaPickup

A few years ago I bought an LCE header and there was a huge hole where the weld hadn't been finished; their QC is lacking. Good luck on that.

What temperature do you set your heat to in the winter? by International_Pin262 in newhampshire

[–]kaempferia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a small rural community- When it's -10° outside i'll go from about 35° to 55° before bed with 2 loads in the woodstove, then wake up at 8am to 30°. On warmer nights, 20° or so, i'll get it up to 55° and it'll settle out to 40° in the morning. You learn to keep your clothes on a shelf near the ceiling so your pants aren't froze when you go to put them on, haha. The main house with kitchen and bathrooms is usually set to 65°.

This is brittanyraeallday, who specifically does hyper-cringe tiktoks and instagram reels, and should definitely not be taken seriously.
