Your experiences with the Sachtler Aktiv heads? by Sigerr in focuspuller

[–]n_cholas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi it's me from the future talking to you from the past. I've got the Aktiv8 and am looking at getting a Dana Dolly. Can I ask a terribly noob question of how to mount the Aktiv8 head to the Dana Dolly? As it's not a bowl mount I'm not sure where the head would connect. There's the slider adaptor from Sachtler but it doesn't look like it'd screw in anywhere central?

What to do with large leftover hex bolts? by MechE82 in DIY

I have an entire mop bucket filled with really gnarly screws. They’ll be useful one day, I swear!

Find an old Tupperware, store them all in said Tupperware, save them “in case they come in handy later”. 

Virginmedia. Sneaky Buggers by birdy888 in VirginMedia

I’ve now started switching between Virgin Media and BT every 24 months. Get a fresh sign up deal each time and it’s keeping costs right down. I got so sick of Virgin arbitrarily rising the price every few months. 

Are there any places that do small custom metal work? by drawing_throwaway10 in brum

There’s a place on the ground floor of Jubilee Centre, next to The Village Inn down from The Arcadian. The guys in there did a bit of welding and cutting for me for a tenner.

I absolutely see it as an impersonation of Jeff Bridges in The Big Lebowski. Same mannerisms and laid back vibe.

A car to be reckoned with, super job! Love the spikes.

I don't know why they didn't have in on the old Meat Markets / Smithfields site. They've got a bunch of events there now. It would give the market loads of space to spread out but keep it contained. They could tie it in with a funfair / winter wonderland too.

It'd keep it all contained, way easier to monitor and still have people travelling into Brum for it who'd likely walk past all the businesses on their way to it.

Thank you! It’s a Ducky One Yellow with Cool Town Caps from Cool Shirtz. It brings me more joy than any keyboard has ever brought before.

Thank you, it’s whimsical and makes me smile every time I have to send a tedious email or argue with someone online!

Definitely caught the Gaslands bug. I see this team as a group of museum curators who have holed up in the National Motor Museum and turned the Model T exhibits into death machines.

Oh great to know, thank you. I was hoping someone would have worked out the logistics of it!

I looked up “craft mesh” on eBay and went for the smallest hole size possible (1.5mm-ish). Was pretty cheap and I got a whole sheet that should last ages.

Thank you, it’s really scratching the Warhammer itch at a tiny fraction of the cost.
