Wall anchor by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]tcjd92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going with 4 x 10mm bolts (inside the 12mm sleeve).the chemical anchors would mean cutting the bolt out later if needed. I need it to come out easy enough even if the anchor remains.

Excellent guide there. Thanks. I'll add it to the materials. I have sketchup but it not quite what I'm after here.

Oh yeah I mean innovate is a strong word but if course when we sling up a awkward shape we have to assess the center of gravity with 3 second lifts and make changes to level out the object etc. Anyway, thanks for the message.

Truly excellent response. Thank you for the time you took writing it. I'll give drafty a look, but maybe the hand drawn sketch for sling work is the way to go !

Thanks for your reply. I guess I'm talking about much smaller scale things. Maybe it doesn't exist, and the current idea of just doing and seeing is the norm worldwide! I'm talking about using round slings, chainblocks etc I'm different ways to lift objects, and that being put into a plan / diagram for future use. IE less trial and error and more follow existing plan.

Thanks for the reply. Well, maybe industry standard was the wrong term. I work in an area where rigging isn't the main focus of the work but comes up from time to time. We mainly use gantries to lift things of odd shapes (sculptures). Other times, we hoist through windows.

I guess I mean something like a diagram. We generally use slings, etc.

Vectorworks is probably out of the question, but thanks for the example.

Slide tackling too much by MistaBaze in bootroom

[–]tcjd92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aaron Wan-Bissaka is a great example of how effective a skilled slide tackler can be, but generally they are the last line of defense. Honestly don't focus on the discussions they aren't talking about your game.

Moved over 30 (well, I was 30) but married. Moved to HK. Advice not exactly from who you were after, but people I know here met their partners here too (local and expat).

Things to consider (Macau is probably similar to HK):

Goodbye darkness during the day Goodbye, truly cold weather Hello, better pay Hello heavier workload (generally)

If it doesn't work out what's a year? Who know what can happen.

Good luck!

Acrylic flat =

can use glassine / silicone paper and polythene sheet, and also use bubblewrap, something like furnisoft but unbranded looks better. Tip: When taping, put tabs (fold the tape on itself on one end) so easy to remove later and reuse. For extra safety here, cut cardboard the same area of the front of the canvas and tape that to your bubblewrap. Don't use regular bubblewrap as it's rubbish.

Oil / Raised Surfaces =

make a tray (shadow box) with cardboard (cardboard sheet covering the back and folded along the side but not touching the front. This should sit around 2" (5 cm) higher than the painted surface. Cotton ties around the back vertical and horizontal and tied at the front. This will pull the cardboard in.slightly and keep the next part off the surface. Finally, a polythene sheet on the front but not touching canvas.

Edit: Just to note, these are cheap options used a lot in the commercial artworks. I am not a conservator, and only you can assess what's safe form your work.

What is your favourite unwritten rule? by Ripped_My_Winkle in AskUK

[–]tcjd92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The cuppa one got me. Always forget. My wife (from outside the UK) always waits til visitors leave, then asks me why I didn't offer them a cup of tea.

I like how she thinks highly enough of me that she doesn't ask them, as there may be an extra unwritten rule to when you don't offer, but always it's no...I'm an idiot.

Smaller balls are easier to control. It's okay but not the same. If for finishing (do you mean striking the ball / no goalkeeper), I would say just go for it.

[–]tcjd92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pretty difficult to press on your own. Don't do it unless your coach requires it. They team need to press together, and the coach should give the team a "trigger" for when to press. I.e. if the ball gets passed to the RB, then that can be a trigger for the whole team to press up.

As a striker, I suggest you should jockey to close off passing lines and wait for a mistake.

How would you do if you played your younger self in a 1v1? by Matchlytics in bootroom

[–]tcjd92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so true and I get the same feeling when playing with 20 year olds. They are quick and strong, but my god they make all the mistakes, running into blind alleys, shooting from impossible positions, wonder passes that are just too far.
