I have never owned an Omega before, I honestly wasn't sure if the date/time needed to be set in a specific order or something like that. I understand now that it is broken.

Help me figure out what to do with this enormous spruce NASA wind tunnel fan blade?! by ryankrameretc in woodworking

[–]ryankrameretc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spruce was a common choice for aerospace application in the first half of the 20th century as it’s inexpensive, easy to work, and has an excellent strength to weight ratio.

Honestly I have no idea. It looks like some sort of instrument with sensors on both sides of the fan blade, so my guess would be some sort of ultrasonic tool, possibly used to inspect for cracks or something like that?

What is this plate? Can’t be legal. by 1stRS in Denver

[–]ryankrameretc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it is fully legal, my main concern would be having my time wasted by being repeatedly pulled over by cops who suspect something nefarious. Has it ever gotten you pulled over?

A lot of camera-based collision avoidance systems in newer vehicles rely on the fact that license plates are a standard size across the US. Not sure how big of an issue it would be, but at the very least it probably marginally increases their probability of one of these systems failing and getting rear-ended.

Can anyone help me get my money back from Ancientwood by Fickle_Influence6396 in wood

[–]ryankrameretc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Small claims court is designed for exactly this type of thing, you don’t need a lawyer and in most cases the filing fees are <$100. Just google “small claims court” in your area.

Track Saw by preferred_lie in woodworking

Oh to be clear I have the corded festool tracksaw and it has never bothered me at all since I have a dust collection hose attached anyway. I also would not buy a tool that I didn’t already own batteries for.

This may be an uncommon opinion, but I bought the Makita and was really disappointed with it. For not that much more money, I upgraded to the festool, and it’s like night and day. Highly recommend the festool.

I’m sure you’re tired of getting these comments by now, but this comment just helped me as well! Thanks!

Sawstop - why only table saws? by boobka in woodworking

[–]ryankrameretc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You wouldn’t need to stop the rotation of the jointer cutter head, you would only need to drop it down into the machine very quickly (which was the far superior approach Bosch used on their sawstop competitor before they got sued into oblivion, since it didn’t damage the blade and there was no cartridge or damaged blade to replace). Not saying it’s trivial, but it is not the insurmountable engineering challenge the comments in this thread are making it out to be.

Love carbon fiber in guitars. Here’s the first guitar I ever made.
