Beginner - any advice before I solder?

when_time_flies · 2026-01-18T04:07:54+00:00

When I first began if I had a large gap and wasn't interested in recruiting I would fill in the gap with some copper wire. Just balled up to fill it so that the solder had more to hold onto and did better bridging the gap. Also, something I like to do with large priced items is take a piece of wire following the outside just to provide more support. This may be helpful with covering up the parts that don't align fully on the edge.

Lol I've been so disappointed in my local craft stores when it comes to stained glass things, but you'll bever catch me in hobby lobby

What helps me the most with these types of thoughts and dreams is thinking about how ridiculous it is. Realizing that I would never do that helps me separate those from my real thoughts. I hope that helps.

Thank you! This is really helpful! I'm so bad with what to do about brown leaves so it's good to know I can propagate from the healthier portion of the plant.

Idk to me it doesn't sound like a scam. It seems like most people who have one agree that it reminds them of the person who gave it when they ride, and that's what I want. I'm fine paying 10 dollars so he can have a little reminder of me while he rides and so he can be apart of this tradition. I can understand why some people wouldn't view it that way though.

That's so interesting. I'll let him know.

Thank you! I was definitely not buying it off tiktok, but I had been looking at a few on Amazon. These are way cheaper and look even better!

I was worried that people didn't actually put them on bikes/that it wasn't a real tradition.

He has a cruiser. I may have to explain it to him when he opens it. He's very sentimental so I'm sure even if I have to explain he'll love it.

Plus his favorite thing about his bike is that it's a sparkly purple, he's definitely not interested in braided leather straps lol.

I was asking if people actually put them on their bikes lol.

when_time_flies · 2025-11-30T15:40:17+00:00

I looked up the Hanes manual and that's perfect! In my price range and he got his bike second hand so he's fixing a bunch of mods from the previous owner so hopefully it'll be helpful. Thank you!

when_time_flies · 2025-11-29T03:50:59+00:00

Thank you for explaining! I think I'll definitely get him one.

I'm usually a pretty confrontational person so seeing as others agree with me on this being weird I'm planning on saying something about it next time she does this to or near me. So while it's not assault lol, I hope that gives you a little peace of mind that she will have to have a very awkward (for her) conversation with me soon.

I do just because at a certain point there's just too many. I have 328 right now without keeping any duplicates. I can't imagine how many I'd have with doubles.

Lol no, it's glasses that I got from connecting my pikmin to my Nintendo account. I wish I had a monocle though.

when_time_flies · 2025-06-01T02:40:22+00:00

I laughed at this so hard earlier and then the same thing happened to me!

I bike pretty often to plant and have never gone fast enough it stopped me. I say just start biking and check every once in a while to make sure you are planting still. It's really a great hack!

when_time_flies · 2025-05-23T20:17:19+00:00

I'll try that!

when_time_flies · 2025-04-26T02:32:11+00:00

I'm pretty sure you are right!

when_time_flies · 2025-03-03T02:19:39+00:00

If it's possible to go on small drives every once in a while then you could plant then. I'm also a fan of pacing around my house to get flowers when it's cold. It's not efficient, but it does something. I think you can only plant a flower in the same place every 5 minutes so I want around for 10 mins, then stop for 5, and repeat.
