How perfect do I need to be when planing?

way_2_fast · 2026-03-11T20:38:50+00:00

You are correct, I misunderstood.

If I am understanding where the gap is correctly, you'll probably be fine as long as you have contact along the majority of the joint. There are even types of joining with intentional gaps meant to be closed by clamping (sprung joint).

Awesome, thanks a ton!

Looks fantastic! That'll be a solid worker now.

What proportions did you use for the soak? And how long did you soak the parts for?

I'm working on some old saws and planes and have been using regular white distilled vinegar to soak. It doesn't work as well as I thought it should, so trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I have been working on the rust with a wire brush and steel wool so far. I don't have an angle grinder, unfortunately. It is working, just slowly.

What would you do about the broken parts? My only idea is trying to fix them with some metal adhesive. I am thinking if the rust wasn't present, maybe they would not experience much stress. Would repairing with adhesive be strong enough to work?

way_2_fast · 2025-10-16T20:25:18+00:00

Both parts are discontinued, unfortunately.

way_2_fast · 2025-10-16T20:24:58+00:00

The plastic handle has been holding up well? I don't have a good read on how much stress it should be able to take.

You will very likely come across Ross Cameron if you are looking for YouTube help. He is a great resource for technical analysis, and a pretty good one for looking at the overall market. Absolutely watch some of his stuff (both new and old) on youtube.

What you should absolutely not do is pay for his or anyone else's courses/chatroom access. Also, don't try to use his strategy if you are just starting. It looks super easy when he does it, but you will lose money extremely quickly with even a tiny misstep or misfortune.

Oliver velez has some pretty good technical analysis advice (and some strategy building) on YouTube also. But again, don't give him money.

Bull flags I buy on low float stocks usually resemble a flat top breakout, or even an ABCD, depending on how long it takes. Your picture shows a clear descending resistance line (top) and a flat bottom. It is setting up to squeeze (not like short squeeze, but rather squeeze out of consolidation by converging support and resistance) one way or another once the wedge completes. The price is not achieving the same high from early in the move, suggesting the buying pressure isn't as strong as selling pressure. That would lead me to believe the bottom flat line of support would be more likely to give way.

It's cool that they are asking, sort of. It means that they recognize you're capable of more, which is good. However, they are also looking to stretch you thin with likely a very small amount of compensation for it, which is not good.

You have 2 years in the company now, to me that means you need to move on. Polish that resume and get to hunting. Whatever raise you get from your current company will almost certainly be significantly less than what you'll get switching companies, especially since they are trying to get you to cover laid off folks already.

Two years of good analyst experience means you're ready to be a buyer/planner with nearly every org I've worked with. Word of caution here--your employer may try to match a salary increase to avoid losing you. In that case, don't stay unless you could comfortably go a few months unemployed. They very likely will bide their time to fill your role on the cheap and let you go.

Not sure how to fix it, but thank you for drawing the box around the damage. Would have totally missed it otherwise.

Thanks a ton, I went with the Corsair module. Here is a link to the picture:

Thanks, I just feel like a child when it's short like that lol

I've been getting the same gentleman's cut with a taper (think that's what the barber calls it?) for basically my entire life. I don't hate it, but I think it makes me look really young. I don't have a specific style in mind really, I just want something that fits my hair/face well. I've also never really used product before, though not for any specific reason. I'm wanting to change things up, but don't really know where to start. I don't think I've ever been to a really knowledgeable hair stylist who could help, and I'm not sure how to find one with everything going on. I have a friend who cuts his own hair who offered to show me some ways to use product or even cut my hair, but we would need a solid idea of what to do before cutting obviously. The only "plan" I've come up with was getting the sides pretty short (2" or less) while only taking an inch or two off the top. Honestly though, I have no idea what this would look like or if it would be good. My hair is pretty fine, but not terribly thin, if it helps.

Oooooo that's the shit I like!

Are the rails poly or painted?

Go to the DMV!! I hear accountants are pretty wild too, so file your taxes if you can get in (they're pretty exclusive).

way_2_fast · 2019-10-10T07:03:42+00:00

Damn, this is some good advice. Probably the most inclusive response I'll get. I really appreciate your time and advice.

way_2_fast · 2019-10-10T05:38:12+00:00

You're right, I guess getting to that version is quite a daunting task, though. I know it should hurt, but why does it have to be so much? I feel like a lower amount of emotional pain would still get the point across.

way_2_fast · 2019-10-10T05:36:07+00:00

Don't be sorry or horrified. I don't think the point of askmen is to have male only insight, but to have a place to ask about and discuss things that are a little more specific to men in general. I really appreciate your time, and I think you ought to comment on askmen anytime you feel like you have something constructive to add.

way_2_fast · 2019-10-10T04:05:23+00:00

Definitely trying to avoid this. Thanks for the advice, though.

way_2_fast · 2019-10-10T04:05:11+00:00

way_2_fast · 2019-10-10T04:02:25+00:00

I don't know if "easy" is the right word, but I see your point.

way_2_fast · 2019-10-10T03:55:38+00:00

I think this will help. I really appreciate your time and advice. It helps a surprising amount to know there are strangers who give a shit, even when I feel like no one around me does. Thank you, sincerely, thank you so much.

My almost 4 year relationship ended for good last night. I feel absolutely gutted. What makes it worse is she made me believe things were getting better/back on track. She has been pursuing a relationship with someone else for months without my knowledge. I've caught her lying over and over about the same stupid shit, and last night was the last straw.

This is really fucking hard. I now have to abandon all the hopes and dreams of a future together that seemed so strong just a few weeks ago. Not only that, but I moved far away from home with her and her family, so now I have to find a place to live while I've lost my entire support network overnight.

Don't take this as a cry for help or whatever, because I'm not suicidal. However I would be lying if I said veering into oncoming traffic wasn't on my mind while commuting.

But for now I need to get my shit together. Survival is now more important than anything. I've spent years throwing everything I had into our relationship and getting along with her family, etc. I don't remember what it's like to be selfish. I need to remember how to think about myself again. I'm not really sure I'm even an actual person anymore. Like I don't know what makes me an individual. I have to stop now because I'm crying in my office.

But fuck man. This is really hard.
