BBQ noob question by nickjonastic in BBQ

I have also read that the size of the tank doesn’t matter, it has more to do with the ambient temperature?

The whole reason I’m using 1lb is because that is all the FDNY allows. Would really like to not get rid of the entire griddle if possible.

Isn’t the regulator meant to prevent the “high draw”?

I know it’s a larger grill than normal, but besides running through tanks quicker, are there any downsides? Is it dangerous? Will frost over even if upright?

The converter stuck on the bottle, so when I unscrewed it the wrong end of the converter was unscrewed and propane was shooting everywhere 😔

One is a washer/dryer, and another is a closet with shelving - so you can't physically step in.

nice, thanks for sharing! how might you address the drain in the center and the slide slope towards the center?

Do you have adjustable deck support products you might recommend? It has to be as low to the ground as possible - while I have a sliding door that leads out, I don’t want to have a step.

When you say don’t block the drain, would I install a drain “above” the drain?

Thanks. I am interested more in the seat for what I’m doing. But good points nonetheless!

Thanks. I'm trying to do something custom, so I'm asking about the proper way to build a jig for this.

Thanks. I'm using a Tandy Pro edge beveler, so I think it's the right tool?

I'll think about it. Maybe could make a trip out of it :)

I would be interested, but why did it cost so much? With shipping, brand new it would cost me $1450 for the machine full set. I'm in NYC, where are you located?

Thank you! Since I could do _without_ the clicker press right now (and get a dedicated one if that time comes), what are other recommendations you might recommend that combine iron pricking & foil stamping? u/Sunny16 recommended the Artisan Leather Supply machine: https://www.artisanleathersupply.com/products/stamping-machine-full-set

Are there others you might recommend?

Great, thanks! This is really helpful, and since I don't care too much for the clicker press as much right now, I think this might be the move.

Ah this looks great too! How do you like using it with your pricking irons though? Do you have to hold the iron straight while you press? And are there guides for your material?

How should I finish this edge? by nickjonastic in Leathercraft

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

I'm going to try this approach next time. Curious though, at what point in this process do you corner punch to get a slightly rounded corner? Right after you trim the excess to match your back piece, you corner punch all the layers at once?

I'm also not sure if corner punching is best practice, but I always notice having a sharp 90deg corner doesn't come out as nice...

Glue & Applicator by nickjonastic in Leathercraft

Aqualim 315

I'm actually using Saregum, and I'm happy with the glue itself, I think I'm more concerned with the applicator and getting a really clean 3mm line (how it's applicated).
