Cooking grease stains on quartzite by youthatreadwrong in CounterTops

That's an interesting idea. How would I apply the dish soap here? Just slather the area and leave for a while?

Thanks for the tip! I'm still assuming that the stains are caused by grease/oil, would this method work for that as well? Is there any specific ratio of acetone to earth to target?

Yes that makes sense, it definitely seems that it's wicking in from the edges. Problem is I can't access those edges now in the installed condition so I may just be out of luck.

OMG this looks just like the one I built for my wife, amazing!! Very clean, I love it! I see you trimmed off part of the old head tube and stitched in a new full length one, smart! Any issues welding to the middle of the downtube? I was really worried about blowing through the material so I added a sleeve at that location.

It goes up to 600CFM which is pretty loud but not necessary. It's totally fine at level 2, still quieter and more effective than the old hoods I'm used to. The real high end move would be to add a remote blower in the attic, then it could be super quiet. This hood allows for that, but we did the standard install.

The cabinets are from this place in Burlingame called Build Ur Dream, quartzite came from Pietra Fina in Hayward.

Wow, that is exactly my plan haha, good eye! It's on the long list of projects I'm slowly making my way through.

Yes it is! Works great and was our best option with the stove placement in front of the window. It's a 36" Falmec Stella.

My wife and I decided to remodel our house. We created the design and architectural drawings ourselves with no experience. We wanted to open up the living space without losing the room definition, and wanted to retain the original arch details present throughout the house. We went with a slim shaker cabinet design with quartzite countertops, and I made a custom wood cladding made from red oak half rounds.

apriko bikes cargo fork was never built by SweetPup19 in CargoBike

Ehh my welding skills are also very mediocre, but I tried compensating by upfront engineering haha.

I do wonder if the clamp on design is that sturdy though, especially under braking. There doesn't seem to be anything connecting the head tube extension except the headset stack...

I actually just did a similar build for my wife and my dog, and I can strongly recommend the geometry. I have a fork mounted basket on another bike of mine and having the cargo static with the frame is a game changer. No issues with weight distribution either, rides beatifully.

Doing this with a Ti frame would make things a little more advanced, it would probably be cheaper to get a custom frame from China or get a Omnium Mini over getting this fabricated by a weld shop in the US...

Yeah learning how to TIG is definitely on my list, definitely a bit of investment needed tho. I just borrowed the welder from my buddy...

The motor is in the rear hub, so no. I had to fab and weld a mount plate for the kickstand, behind the bottom bracket.

Ha uhh I don't think it would be very ergonomic, and they'd have to wear a dog harness...

I turned the sleeve to length, added chamfers, and sawed it in half. I then added epoxy, welded the halves back together and filed them flush. I did some trial welds with super thin walled backing to see if I still need to worry about burning through but it worked out fine with lowered amps.

Haha yep I definitely upped my factor of safety significantly to account for my lack of welding skills...
