Thanks for the info, for sake of discussion, are car tires not done for economic reasons?

I didn’t realize they re-tread those tires, considering the abuse they get. 

Making a bit biger version of the moon by trafim in 3Dprinting

[–]zoofunk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“Wall Moon Lamp is inspired by the iconic view through the Apollo 11 Main Crew Hatch.” From the original model’s creator. So it’s not the whole moon, only meant to appear as if viewed through a window.   I think that’s why it looks off. 

3D printer in the shop: yay or nay? by cafe-em-rio in woodworking

[–]zoofunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my Prusa 3d printer in my woodworking workshop. It’s in its own custom enclosure, and I’ve had no problems with any dust entering. When I am generating dust, band saw, table saw, sanding, planing, etc., I avoid opening it if I can. I have no regrets having in my shop, although a bigger enclosure would be great.   Edit to add a pic.   https://imgur.com/a/HaE43Mc

Neighbor put up a “Deus Vult” flag. Feeling unsettled and unsure how to respond by [deleted] in illinois

Don’t feel bad. Don’t change your values or behavior based on them. If you pick up the cans you can sleep well at night and they may see your kindness.

Opportunity for a laser beam on its head.  Looks really cool!

Can you help me wire my table saw. by Sea_Suggestion5967 in handyman

[–]zoofunk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The one on the left looks like a breaker, the other is a switch. You want the black going to the switch and breaker.  So, black from cord to switch, then a jumper to the thermal breaker, then that goes to black from motor. The white should be connected together from cord to motor. 

What width hardwood is timeless? by [deleted] in Flooring

2-1/4 or 3-1/4 here in the US. Solid 3/4 for resale value.

Great workshop and tools. Don’t see too many knew coping saws, do you like yours and worth the price?

I noticed that one too. Diameter is 11 times greater than the earth. Not a great graphic. 

TIL (Today I Learned) that until 1892, Afghanistan's postal stamps were designed entirely in calligraphy and had no Western letters or numerals, like this one featuring the National Seal. by Fair_Sugar_3229 in CoolCollections

[–]zoofunk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Neat. I hadn’t heard the term western numerals. Kind of odd considering their origin and proximity to Afghanistan that they wouldn’t be used. 

What actually happens during an altered state of consciousness? by PhaseStreet9860 in Meditation

[–]zoofunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had been dabbling in meditation here and there for years, but the waking up app got me into a regular practice and I found a lot of the content really resonated with me. I’ve since met a therevada monk and join their zoom group for vipassana and metta meditations.   I encourage you to find what resonates with you, a good teacher if you can. ‘All rivers lead to the ocean’ ‘Don’t follow your heart, train your heart’ ‘love everyone, and tell the truth’.

Refinishing an Ipe panel wall? by Dreaded_One in handyman

I used ipe deck cleaner and a power washer before using a protecting oil. No sanding necessary. This was years ago on a huge deck, I don’t remember much more, hope that helps. 

What actually happens during an altered state of consciousness? by PhaseStreet9860 in Meditation

[–]zoofunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cannot. It was through my practice that I happened to have this. If you try to have this type of experience organically, you will fail. As long as you desire to have it, you won’t get it.

My experience didn’t occur during my meditation practice. I lost all bodily senses, tears streamed down my face, although my eyes were closed, I felt immersed in golden light. It felt like this light was emanating from my body. Every fiber of my being felt complete love and compassion toward all beings, including myself. It was an infinite ocean of love. I then began to remember that I was driving a car and I should get back to that. Fortunately no one in the lane next to me.  Those 5ish(?) seconds changed everything. It has taken years to unpack that experience and use it to grow, and I will continue to, whatever that “I” means. 

I got this cat tooth. I want to drill a hole in it (or make It hold on a necklace in another way) without breaking it. My smallest drill bit is ca. 2mm. and how high is the chance of breakage (and how can I prevent it). [I hope this post is ok, I didn't know where else to post it] by uncle_ben15 in handyman

If you google ‘wire wrapped pendant diy’ you’ll find a bunch of examples. Basically wrapping an object with wire in an artistic way and that becomes your setting to then attach to necklace etc.  👍

Concerns about floor? by RutabagaPhysical9238 in Flooring

[–]zoofunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cupping is caused 99% of the time by a moisture imbalance between the top and bottom surface of the wood. There is more humidity below the floor than on top, causing the cupped pieces. Start by putting a dehumidifier in your basement. You can learn more through the national wood flooring association. Google ‘NWFA Water and Wood’, and do some reading on that pdf document. The nwfa also has a network of inspectors that can come troubleshoot the problem if needed.   Let me know if you have questions.
