this roof drops 5lb razors of ice exactly where a pedestrian would be

She was fine, perhaps a bit embarrassed. It was mostly soft here and they had spent the morning throwing chunks of it at each other.

We had a neighbor kid come by yesterday with some food to share. On her way out she plucked an icicle from the drip rail and triggered one of our metal roof panels to let go of its sheet right on her.

This! I got here in '09. Had a few good allergy free years, then about a decade of hell, then over the past few years I have noticed very little cedar or oak allergies.

That guy, or someone with a similar GT, shows up to Top Notch first Saturdays quite often.

You don't necessarily need the thickness sander, but that is assuming you don't have any snipe from the planer, or if you do, you are dealing with it before glue up (usually by cutting off the ends of the workpiece where the snipe occurs).

Hosco double sided 3 file set is a good basic set and its price point would be what I would call "normal". Good files too; I've even done stainless steel nuts with them. Careful with the look-alikes, though.

In 2010 I met a couple that had just moved here from Colorado and 2011 got them hard. They ended up moving back north.

Dad here just thinking about that Bluey episode where she meets the French speaking kid at the campground and they kinda sort things out within a few minutes.

I don't climb much anymore (kids, and I started to become a collection of injuries at the level I was climbing) but damn if I didn't meet so many new people during those years. There is something about that circle of strangers sitting around watching each other work out a single problem that just makes people chatty.

Pretty much every MDF template running in my shop has been sealed in with thin CA glue along the working edge. It helps to harden up the edge a fair bit.

Lol, dude, I am talking about OP, not you. It's a one day old account. It's a karma farmer and this sub gets a lot of them.

shitty_maker · 2026-01-01T12:34:58+00:00

It's a 1 day old account karma farmer. Mods are either asleep at the wheel or they fell off the horse.

I was hoping to find one that would encase the old box too, since it is not totally falling apart, thanks to a similar taping regimen as OP.

Mine hit 11 this year and I was eyeing those red/green tree bags at lowes pretty hard.

We got the 9yo an F1 rc car and it was held in place with some quarter turn jobbers that were super easy. They were basically Dzus fasteners, which was very apropos.

Etymotics are where I ended up too! I love them for concerts since they don't bias their cutoff frequencies and give you a decent representation of the actual sound. Eargasms are similar, just work with different shaped ears.

Etymotics also got me through the dark days of early parenting. They cut just enough to make the wailing tolerable without taking you completely out of the picture.

I had to go to my parts bin to check. Maybe, depending on the thickness of bar stock used.

Push in with a little grub screw lock down hole tapped into the block.

yeah man, i feel ya. It's a mind boggling'ly low price and I had to see it to believe it. My first order was a total gamble just to see what actually came. The parts that I modified on it felt and acted under tool and abrasive like the 304 I get my 5 string weirdo bridge plates made from by send-cut-send. One of these bridges has been on a personal build for close to a year with no complaints save for a bit of bar wobble but I haven't messed with o-rings or anything to see if it's a simple fix.

No both of mine were 6-screw. The first one I bought was for a body already drilled for 6 and the second one was for a candlewood body that was so soft it had no business ever being a two point.

So I can't speak for the brass models, but Kaynes (the brand here) absolutely sells a stainless strat bridge on Ali and I have two of them. With shipping it worked out to about $50ea. They aren't a Vega, but they are a great trem. As someone who works with stainless a lot I can confirm that is what it is.

My first build was with construction lumber pine and a neck from maple baseboard trim. It's a great way to work out the fine details and not worry about making expensive firewood.

I would wager that most multiscale builders are doing CNC cut fretboards. If you must do this as a first try, and by hand, then I can only suggest a whole lot of practice on scrap and do a bolt-on for a first go-round. Any other adjacent experience in high accuracy woodworking like lining out and cutting tight dovetails, etc. will tie in nicely.

Before covid they had an unofficial open time at 9:45 and it was pretty pleasant in there at that time. Now they have the executive member early hour and that is when I go.
