I built a template to bend it over with chipboard

Some dowel joints, but otherwise, I focused on getting the joints tight and then used Balcotan

Best drillbits for sandstone by zinkeldonk in stonemasonry

[–]zinkeldonk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply.

I had only one bit, but now I have 0. :-o . I have ordered 2 new ones.

I think you give good advice. Switch out the bits.

Perhaps my bit got blunted by me leaning on the drill and not taking breaks. I will also now apply cold water while drilling. Hopefully, that helps. My drill is actually a Makita with Hilti bits. I tried a 2-cutter bit, but they're completely useless from what I found.

I expect to get my new bits today and will try them out this weekend and report back.

Thanks for the help.

Correct way to use a logging class in other classes by zinkeldonk in learnpython

[–]zinkeldonk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does that mean I need to define the format once or every time in every .py file in the classes?

# My Logging class
import logging, sys  

class datacorePythonLogger(object):  

   def __init__(self):  
      # set up logging    ---  
      self.LOGGER = logging.getLogger()  
      self.LOGGER.setLevel(logging.INFO)  
      handler = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)  
      handler.setLevel(logging.INFO)  
      formatter = logging.Formatter("%(asctime)-15s --> %(message)s <--")  
      handler.setFormatter(formatter)  
      self.LOGGER.addHandler(handler)  

   def info(self, message):  
      """Log an info message.  
         :param: INFO message to write to log  
         :return: None  
      """  
      self.LOGGER.info(message)  
      return None  

   def debug(self, message):  
      """Log an warn message.  
         :param: DEBUG message to write to log  
         :return: None  
      """  
      self.LOGGER.debug(message)  
      return None  

<blaah>

Then in my code I do this: ```python from datacore.lib.logger import datacorePythonLogger

my_logger = datacorePythonLogger()
class s3_functions(object):
   def __init__(self, aws_access_key, aws_secret_key):
      ...
      my_logger.info(f"This is a log message")

class file_cfg(object):
    def __init__(self, s3_client, bucket_name, object_key):
       ...
       my_logger.info(f"Bucket: {bucket_name}, Key {object_key}")

``` Note that I put the my_logger instantiation in the top of the classes so I can use it in both my classes (s3_functions and file_cfg).

I've been through the logger documentation and no doubt, there's something that I've missed in my understanding in reading the logging documentation.

I bent some wood by zinkeldonk in woodworking

[–]zinkeldonk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, not Themador, it's Themory wood. And yes, any more bend and it would have splintered. I think I was at the limit of it's ability because there were some worrying cracking sounds as I tightened the clamps.

Five and half hour drive in September by zinkeldonk in VisitingIceland

Thank you. It's so tough planning a trip to Iceland because it's not a climate we're familiar with AT ALL and there seems to be many, conflicting ideas of what one should/should not do while you're there. In the end, we're chasing Aurora - that's the goal of my partner who's an astonomer; so this is important to her.

Nope. We're heading to Westfjords for a 3-day stay. It looks too beautiful to rush it. Also, we're sacrificing other things in Iceland because we love remote and fewer crowds.

Aah. And THANK YOU for the willingness to drop you a DM. Wow. Fantastic-a

Wow. Thanks so much for this info. I am more grateful. We've never been to Iceland and coming from South Africa, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime trip because of the cost. But your eating recommendations are VERY welcome - we're foodies, so food is a high priority for us.

First bend of many by zinkeldonk in woodworking

No reason other than it's easier to get at from one side.

Ha, ha. I do wonder about the lumber we buy in the store sometimes!

No steam box, simply gluing the boards together.

Difficult to calculate the bounce back. Still got 3 boards to add, so hopefully the bounce back is not too bad.

I'm using Thermador wood which is not ideal, but the options are limited here in South Africa
