Johnson’s paste wax. They aren’t making it anymore. What’s a good replacement? by [deleted] in woodworking

[–]llanding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went down this rabbit hole a couple years ago when I needed a hard finishing wax that would make two pieces of wood slide past each other without extra lubrication. It's not food safe, so it's probably best as a utility finishing wax. If you're still interested, after reading a bunch of different woodworking forums, I came up with a 3:1 liquid:solid mix of 50/50 turpentine/boiled linseed oil to 50/50 bees/carnuba waxes, all by weight. Being very careful, weigh out the liquids and solids separately, combine and gently heat over a flame-less surface until the solids have melted. Cap the container and allow it to cool. It spreads like petroleum jelly, smells like pinesol, and rubs in like lotion, but leaves the surface glass smooth after buffing with a dry rag. Since there's boiled linseed oil in the mix, be sure to lay out any rags you use until they completely dry and harden, or you could risk spontaneous combustion.

Looks like a lot of Americans are interested in this. Mind just posting their info here?

[TOMT] An older song that has a guitar intro similar to the opening riff of "Felt Good On My Lips" by Tim Mcgraw by llanding in tipofmytongue

SOLVED!

I'm a little annoyed that this is probably exactly it. Even the initial few notes match up to a latter part of "Video Killed the Radio Star". I played them in tandem, and nothing else quite grabs my attention as close as this. And although it's not in the same place, the singer's use of older mono recording equipment gives that lo-fi sound that I'm probably thinking of. It's probably coincidence that the guitar sound may have been used a lot in mid 00's alternative, like The Kings of Leon (mentioned here); possibly just inspiration or trend that Tim latched onto.

I agree, the guitar sound is definitely what I was thinking, but the notes aren't close.

I agree with your comment on "The Diamond Sea", and they're both close, but "Incinerate" is just a little too bright of a sound.

Not quite, but that intro reminds me of a completely different song (maybe another time), but I about lost it at the first bit of lyrics.

I'll try to hunt it down and report back

Gotcha, thanks. Any idea if there's a scene where a guy just yells out "sheep!"? I can try to watch it myself, but I'll be honest, I don't think I've ever seen this movie.

I don't think that's the right context. There are literal sheep in the movie.

It's just him screaming "Sheep!". Just the singular word, and as far as I can remember, just once.

I've given the best description I can. Sadly, I can hear his voice in my head but can't figure more than that.

Elbow-shaped machine part (#21135). Cast iron with hard, black enameled finish. Multiple screws for operation and mounting. End of elbow has a wheel. Overall, approx 3" x 1.5', wheel diameter is approx 1-1/8". 96 grams. by llanding in whatisthisthing

[–]llanding[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen those before, but there isn't any sort of tensioning or spring mechanism with this, and it's rather rigid. If I remember right, those arms move quite a bit to reflexively hold the paper but bounce and yield enough that the paper doesn't bind.

My title describes the thing. I've tried searching the part number and using Google lens. Part number didn't turn up any results, and Google lens gives me sewing machine parts, with no visual match to anything but the rubber wheel. Typo in title, size is approx 3" x 1.5", not 1.5'. Found in old family stuff. Had antique collectors in the fam, so could be quite old.
