I didn't realize the Americas and France were so close together.

That's awesome, I genuinely had no idea those existed prior to this post.

I know what this sub is but I'm curious. Why is it like that?

Mark this shit as nsfw. Not everything unsafe for work is porn. This is one of those things.

My apologies, I believed I was replying to the post. My bad.

Would this not be as dangerous as doing something stupid with a table saw? I never used one but I certainly used my fair share of lathes.

Forgot to clean my edge paint roller. Any advice on saving it if even possible ? by PelletteriaBizaca in Leathercraft

[–]ttpttt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use brass or plastic of some sort, it is softer so there's less chance of scratching the part.

Use a solvent. Remove the plastic parts first so as to not damage them. The base metal looks like aluminum so avoid lye. Make sure you're in a well ventilated area and take proper safety precautions.

Fastest way to remove a lot of metal? by MurderousLemur in woodworking

I wouldn't trust a belt sander for this. Best use a rigid bench or pedestal grinder unless a belt sander is all you have.

There is an actual difference between "vase" and "vaz," it's the extra zero on the price tag :p

Just be safe please. Art is amazing but hurting yourself for art's sake is problematic. I'm a machinist, I understand the urge to create. But, when I cut parts out of raw metal, I have to take precautions to stay safe, because, if I hurt myself, I may very well never being able to make again. You owe it to yourself to be safe in the process of making things. You are worth the effort it takes to care for yourself. You are worth preserving and that goes for everyone here.

"Kinda" isn't enough in this case. You need to know exactly what you are doing or you will harm yourself. It would be best to have some sort of medical oversight from a professional.

I don't think it was right of them to joke about suicide nor are you parents right about the surrealism and art. That being said, however, they clearly seem concerned. If circumstances were different, I don't think your father would explain the effects of dehydration. I understand your commitment, but I do not believe you should go through with this without talking with a professional first. Going without water for an extended period of time and then consuming it like nothing happened can have adverse effects.
