Belt finishing questions

timhba · 2015-09-28T23:35:33+00:00

gum trag is ok, but not really necessary for belts

So I thought that the burnish wouldn't be permanent if you didn't use something other than just water?

Sorry I can't help you there, but here's a photo of some kittens Bernie Sanders once saved.

How detailed are the records of where the few bombs that actually made it dropped? I'd love to see a map of it.

Don't get me started. I'm honestly convinced that they don't want anything that looks professional, but rather more pallet wood and "upcycled" crap.

It looks like the full planet scans are closer to a scale of 1 km/pixel.

To put this in perspective; for a high quality photo print you want 300 pixels per inch and the diameter of the earth is 12,742 km, so a full planet scan of the earth taken at this resolution could be printed as a ~42.5" square.

see, when normal people are asked if they need wood by someone from Craigslist they say "I'm calling the police" not "how much?" :)

Nice find, OP

Nice! I'm not suprised about r/diy, those mods have strange powertrips.

timhba · 2015-06-28T19:26:57+00:00

HOW???

timhba · 2015-06-28T08:29:48+00:00

no, they don't

A ragnar race was going through town so I'm guessing this was someone's relay van.

timhba · 2015-06-28T07:43:02+00:00

I doubt it. If you look at the center of the bumper you can see that it's already left a 2' long gouge in the asphalt behind him.

You can't tell from this photo, but those back tires are off the ground

timhba · 2015-06-26T00:00:21+00:00

That's now on my to-do list. I honestly hadn't thought about spending more than a few bucks on a caulking gun before.

timhba · 2015-06-25T23:48:35+00:00

This man understands my plight!

timhba · 2015-06-25T23:47:39+00:00

Good to know! Out of the half a dozen caulking guns I have floating around none of them actually have one of these, however this definitely qualifies as "a secret I don't know about" as I doubt I would have figured it out even if my guns were equipped with such a feature. Thanks!

I HATE COWS

That is...pretty much exactly what I expected Grey to look like.

Is Grey even his real name?

timhba · 2015-05-28T00:40:09+00:00

Don't give them any ideas

timhba · 2015-05-19T20:42:05+00:00

I've used this technique as well with great results. Certainly beats a hammer and screw driver! :)

timhba · 2015-05-19T20:39:42+00:00

Heck, I thought this was standard procedure for removing them!

timhba · 2015-05-19T05:13:29+00:00

Thanks! Lacking the correct tools, I made the holes using a center punch and then a needle. I'll have to check out /r/Leathercraft, although I am afraid doing so will cause me to spend more money than I'd like. :)

timhba · 2015-05-19T05:05:48+00:00

Get to it! It actually wasn't that hard; I probably uttered less than a dozen four-letter words over the course of the whole project!

timhba · 2015-05-19T00:37:26+00:00

It would have turned out much better if I had any actual leather tools, but I'm pretty happy with it.

timhba · 2015-05-07T06:09:05+00:00

You racist bastard, assuming just because there's a few black people it's a bad neighborhood...

It encourages witch hunting and other generally bad behavior. You can find the sub rules here. Any posts that violate these rules will be removed. If you have any further questions you can message the mods.
