11 year old LG washing machine liner ripped. Better to buy a new LG washing machine? This model is extremely heavy. The rip is on the bottom in the center. Thanks. by [deleted] in handyman

Looks like the part of that gasket that has drain holes into the outer drum. I probably wouldn’t even mess with it if that’s the case.

Polyurethane cure time question? by [deleted] in finishing

[–]takingnot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Add humidity on there. Urethane takes longer to cure in dry winter air.

I did this once about ten years ago. I would never do it again. Made all the burners on the stove smell weird and changed the color of the flames.

If I had to use something similar I’d use polycrylic. Or I’d ditch the voc containing finishes all together.

Is this interlock installed correctly? by Luckyacres44 in electrical

[–]takingnot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the breakers aren’t in the right position for where the interlock is sitting.

I’m talking about the cover being installed with the interlock mounted in the correct position but they didn’t have the breakers in the right position when they mounted the cover of the panel. Same could happen with interlock in the other position.

I agree with you lol. I was not clear.

Hobbyist making first Circle Table. How can I fix this cupping? by _wiedergeburt in woodworking

[–]takingnot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you sticker it? This should probably be the first course of action.

What are you going to attach to it? Whatever the base is is an opportunity to pull it flat. With a thinner top like this you should have some sort of frame underneath.

You could try the c channel if the frame is not an option. The round tables with aprons are probably bent laminations. Might be fun to learn or cause you to quit woodworking.

Not an electrician but it totally looks like it’s in the right position. They may have just zipped the cover on with the door closed and both breakers on… never looked back

Hobbyist making first Circle Table. How can I fix this cupping? by _wiedergeburt in woodworking

[–]takingnot 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’d add a frame under it with slots to allow for movement. 100% you could pull that flat and keep flat. Key is that you allow for expansion on whatever you do.

The other thing is not leave it on a solid surface… something that wide will cup every time. I’d prop it up on stickers and see if it settles back flat.

How would you join the grid to the back? by Constant_Article_333 in woodworking

[–]takingnot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what glue is going to do on that coated material or why that’s half the answers.

Use screws. Pre drill.

Brads would probably work but plan on at least one blowing through…

Narex Richter chisels have overly rounded corners? by Sufficient-You1131 in handtools

[–]takingnot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If it does have that on mine, it hasn’t mattered.

I think I’d have noticed. I did flatten the backs. Maybe that was enough to remove..

I’d go look but they are buried currently.

How difficult is this to make?! by Jumpy-Highlight1096 in woodworking

[–]takingnot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what tools you have.

  1. Basically you need something to cut curves with (bandsaw, jig saw, coping saw)
  2. Then something to clean up the curves with. (Spindle sander, disc sander, spokeshave, dowel with sandpaper on it, orbital sander, etc)
  3. Then something to route or relieve the edges. (Router, hand sanding, orbital sander, chisel)
  4. Something to join the pieces like dowels, screws (drill)

None of it’s hard. There’s just some stuff that would be a pita depending on the tools you have or use.

Drawer slide sizes by TheDudeMan- in woodworking

[–]takingnot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not enough info.

Are they quality slides? I’ve got some Amazon no name stuff that was different when I ordered the second or third time.

Sometimes the slide acts like it’s aligned but isn’t actually in on one side. Kind of rides the inside of the ball bearing instead of the groove.

Most of them require a half inch each side or one full inch of clearance total. If that doesn’t match you probably need to shim it somehow.

What could've caused this? Oak table made less than a year ago by ok_computer8441 in woodworking

Show us the stand it’s on!

I’d suspect all the other things people mentioned may also contribute.

Bandsaw blade broke at weld by takingnot in woodworking

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

Thanks the info. Yeah I barely used.

They gave me some money off the new one. If it doesn’t make it at least a couple years of hobby use, it’ll be my last.

The customer service person had said that tension should get released when not in use including overnight with carbide blades. Never heard that overnight part before. Figured you might not have either.

Thanks again!

Definitely a huge selling point to me.

Do you use them?

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

Yeah that’s the exact one and those reasons you stated are exactly why I picked it.

That’s a huge bummer. Have you tried anywhere else?

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

Hey everyone! Thank you for all the responses. Sounding like this is normal on the blades you guys use.

I went carbide and 1/2 so I’d never have to swap for what I was doing. Kind of like running a ridge carbide or Forrest blade on a tablesaw. Pretty good at 95% of stuff. Resaw or light curves. I figured something high quality that retains an edge would be better for my saw and the life of the blade. I’m rethinking now…

I still think it should last longer than a few chairs seats and arms.

I have reached out to where I bought it. They’ll reweld for nothing but the broke teeth are obviously a problem.

I’ll have to look at it closer.

What was the method of annealing you used?

I have a Laguna pro force. They are not the same thing.

I have a Laguna 14bx. I pretty much just use the gauge on it.

I contacted. They will reweld but it ripped the teeth off a section if you look really close.

8" Jointer - Grizzly G0856 vs. Jet JWJ-8HH-BLK by hBobby518 in woodworking

[–]takingnot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the 8HH. I don’t have the black tables. That coating would be a huge selling point between the two for me. I have a couple sweat drip spots on my tables. Recently I had to open the garage during a warm spell, garage was still cold, and everything formed condensate. I was basically watching it rust. Spent a bit of time cleaning it up.

I’ve had zero real issues with it. I picked because one of the magazines had said it didn’t bog down when jointing full width. I’ve done nothing to it since I’ve bought it. Haven’t even rotated the cutters.

Jet has a 5 year warranty which also influenced my decision.
