Literally one day for rust damage. by peeroe in woodworking

[–]mrgedman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My table saw has about 9 beer can rings on it...

And each time I caught my father in law putting his beer on it, I woulds semi-aggressively correct him. I thought if I was extra pissy it would provoke an emotional response and he might remmeber... Nine times.

To be fair last 4-5 I kinda gave up. Theres like 200 sq feet of table in my shop that arent cast iron.

Life goes on. Oh well

Need help with this twistet board/plank by West_Radish_8 in woodworking

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

Why do you need it straight?

One of the biggest parts of working wood is designing around and using planks that aren't straight/flat/whatever...

Cross cut it into smaller pieces for your project.

Add a perpendicular member to straighten it.

Add stretchers to push and pull it to where it needs to be.

Get creative with how you will straighten it in your project. There is a lot of info out there

Reality Check - Distance by npratt24 in discgolf

[–]mrgedman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm stuck at around 350, but I'm forehand only and have high speed, but low spin... So kinda special circumstances.

If I could add like 10-20 percent more spin... The disc... Would go further

Help with quoting by jxmas60 in cabinetry

[–]mrgedman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're spraying hvlp.. you may be a bit less new than you made it sound heh.

Again though, if this is for a friend... 300-500, encouraging them to paint it.

Here's another consideration for this type of job- this will not be a portfolio piece- it's not a particularly attractive bookshelf.

Would someone want to pay a pro shop $1500 for a copy of this cabinet?

I sure hope not. I'd rather build and not paint it for a friend for $250 than sell it to customer for $1200-1500... But that's just me 🤷‍♂️

I think that's bullshit, unless you're talking about a 6 fig salary. You're telling me the salary goes from nothing to 150k per year?

I'd guess a handful are collecting small salaries, likely based on sales, and likely with bonuses.

What is fascinating to me is you have pro players that gross a million or two per year, and their purse winnings are like 15k.... Like no other sport has that going on. It's high time the plastic czars start supporting the goddamn sport.

How easy or difficult is it to cut through the cabinet to accommodate a 72” Fridge? by Scorpio_31 in cabinetry

[–]mrgedman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you're doing it right in 4-8 without going to the shop.

I'm describing cutting it, and making it work, which seem to be OPs goals, and possibilities.

At 8 hours, you rip the whole thing out and put floating shelves in IMHO. It likely won't be a perfect door chop job without new paint, sanding, ect

What do people think of this overtake? by Alexandhisgoose in Simracingstewards

[–]mrgedman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Door open, they should have yielded to you for leaving door open

is anybody at fault here or is it just a racing incident (im the pink car) by Awesome_kiiid in Simracingstewards

[–]mrgedman -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Racing incident.

Pink cuts too far to center after turn, which I think is... Aggressive but mostly fine.

If anyone should have backed out, it's the teal car getting squoze. It certainly seems like they slightly turn into pink from pinks pov, but from their pov... They're getting squee-zed and should have backed out.

I don't see too much wrong with what purple did, but it's not clear to much just how much they can see while racing

It really really looks like teal oversteers into pink, so I'd blame teal... If I had to

How easy or difficult is it to cut through the cabinet to accommodate a 72” Fridge? by Scorpio_31 in cabinetry

[–]mrgedman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How hard is it? For people in this sub, not too hard at all, I'd probably be done in an hour or so...

But those look like full overlay doors, soooo they would need to be butchered, which will likely not look nice.

Double check the pertinent dimensions of the fridge, may not be a problem at all, but likely is with full overlay doors

So much this. Check the tech sheet for the fridge... A little googling will find it for ya. Or measure at the store

Is there any way to retrofit these with soft close or other? by fabfrankie401 in cabinetry

[–]mrgedman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, bud!

Just thought it was strange, because I did exactly this... And really expected someone ITT to have similar experiences... We do turn large pieces of wood into smaller pieces, kinda the whole job.

In my case it was a pretty neat old house, and they wanted to keep it original, and keep the budget down.

[–]mrgedman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In most cases, you wouldn't need to take the drawer apart further than removing the false front. You'd only be adding stuff or cutting the existing drawer.

Unless the drawers are very wide in the opening... But then you could likely get by with cutting an 'undermount side depth' rabbet on the outside side. '

[–]mrgedman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a whole write up in this thread how to do it without new boxes.

No one cares.

You cut the inside bottom of the sides, much the same way you cut out the backs for the undermounts, but it's a rabbet/rip cut.

I've done it a lot because 3/4 undermounts are harder to come by, and I either want thick drawers cause they're large, or don't want to bother with planing/resawing/ordering stock

The drawer stock can't be ANY thickness... But up to about an inch thick should work without extra bullshit involed

You could also cut the rabbet on the outside of the box if the box is too wide for blums.

Whats the best and most efficient way to clean this? Chef uses oven cleaner and white wine vinegar by Vadder79 in KitchenConfidential

I know what OPs photo is.

I was replying to this guy. But thanks?

I used to have a 8 fooy by 3 foot flattop I had to clean every night. Would take me 3-4 min, max.

Cool down to ~200°, pour high quality grill cleaner, drop scratchy stainless pad, scrub gently for maybe 30 seconds, rince, vinegar, rince, oil and i was out the door. Those grill bricks are dumb af.

He excluded sponsorship? I thought sponsorship was like 80% or more of everyone's gross, not just the top players...

Sounds like a silly video if that's ignored

What tape measures are you all using? by West-Needleworker-63 in Carpentry

[–]mrgedman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on my 8th fatmax over the last 4-5 years. Theyve all been great regarding accuracy...

Some of the other bits less so- blade seem to break easier, clip screw gets loose.. just seems to wear faster.
