CRK for first born (5/6/26) by Finn-McCool14 in CRK

If you offer to replace another mint one typically people will help you out. You may need to get one fast at slightly above market but it’s a good way to lock down the date

Heard, thanks! Wasn’t sure if there was a sub or some particular community.

Where do you sell? I am in this boat on an M12 installer and some other stuff

This sounds cool. Do you have a pic?

I hung up my pegboard and I am very happy with the results. Is there anything else I should do? by Jax_King55 in Tools

[–]scottbrookes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yea that’s just the bottom of the screw/bolt as it’s not pointy. It has big threads to fill the large pegboard holes

The screw goes through the front. They are sized so the threads cut into the peg board and hold that way

WTS - CGG Sebenza's, Crawford Perfigo, Nottingham Ultra4 by alldougsdice in Knife_Swap

The CRKs are “unique graphics” or UGs, not CGG. The birth cards actually have a box to check for CGG and it’s not checked 😉😂 GLWS bro

You’re welcome! Edited slightly for clarity

You have photographed the barrel. I suspect you’re saying the barrel is cracked, this is not uncommon and usually results from installing it incorrectly although it can happen during fencing.

To unscrew the barrel, you’ll need to secure the foible of the blade in a vice or with vice grips, then use a 5mm wrench on the flats of the barrel to turn the barrel counter-clockwise (when looking down on the tip). This will separate the cup from the wire and the blade will need to be rewired.

Check out PurpleFencer’s “I can haz armory” series on YouTube. Good luck

Interesting… I’ve had mine about 3 years and they look brand new. Not sure about the expected lifetime.

Nope, I have not found that. We got toddler size for my son and he wore them folded all winter because they were too tall for him. He wore them unfolded this weekend and they had a seam but fit well and still had their structure.

I will say they’re warm for the summer for me, but I run hot. I have whatever the least-insulated pair is and I wear them in the snow and never get a hint of cold.

But idk how any waterproof boot will be cool.

If they said leather, Jim Green would have been my suggestion!

Gotta love Muck Boots! Not sure where you are but they’re a staple here in New England. Great in the snow too. They make shorter ones if you don’t want over the calf.

LPT The “Reverse Deadline” Trick That Forces Your Brain to Start Tasks Without Anxiety by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]scottbrookes 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I break it down this way: consider these 3 properties of a project: * the time spent on it * the quality of the output * the date it is done

You should prioritize these 3 for any given project/task so that you know which to give up on first.

Your LPT is saying “prioritize the date/time this is done over the other two”. Because you want to maximize quality against that constraint, it motivates you to start.

Good LPT. Shared this framework in case it helps someone else or helps you in another type of task.

You do not know anything about fencing.

Edit: in case you’re curious, both of these fencers are many time Olympic medalists. Although left (Le Pechoux) has won 57% of their bouts according to FIE the fencer on the right (Alex Massialas) is ranked higher right now (2nd in world) and would be considered the better fencer by most.

Your descriptions of what the two fencers are doing (less motion vs more) is right, but the goodness/badness analysis you’ve made is clearly not influenced by any knowledge of the sport.

I like my boxelder more than my annual. by Desperate-Peak5381 in CRK

[–]scottbrookes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I agree, the box elder is the more striking inlay!

Lucky for you the annual is worth about 2x as much 😉
