Sad day boys.. gonna have to throw this pair of gloves out here soon. Might stitch them up one more time and run them a bit longer, but it's pretty much at the point of diminishing returns now. Left hand is worn through on just about every finger. I'm always grabbing hot metal and getting burned through the holes now... Been stitched up 5 or 6 times already, and just about done for. They've seen a lot of cutting, grinding, welding, and barbed wire fence repair. The pair on the right is the exact same brand and style of gloves this pair started as. I suppose I got my $3.95 out of them, but still sad to see them go. Probably give them to the dog to chew on for one last hurrah. What brand gloves are you running? Got these off Cyberweld and they kick ass for the price. Kevlar stitched, but I still end up burning out the stitching eventually. Use a speedy leather stitching awl to fix them back up and keep them running for 10x the lifespan. I have about 75 more pairs on hand. If they last as long as this pair did I'll be set for a while.
>>3004420To truly use all parts of the animal you could patch the holes with cut up leather from another glove's palm
>>3004420I use the cheap, bulky canvas leather type gloves for anything that doesn't require quite a bit of dexterity (and, they beat the hell out of all the expensive gloves on basically anything "toughness" on reviews)I use generic maxiflex or mechanix style gloves if dexterity is mostly going to be needed (or just take off my bulky glove for very occasional dexterity)I have never seen a review for a glove that does both really well
>>3004853>FThank you anon. Much appreciated.>>3004933True, but at that point it's like the gloves of theseus. And once again diminishing returns for the work involved. I can stitch a blown out seam in a quick minute when they pop up, any more involved than that and they are done for and better grab a new pair...>>3004757>>3004877>>3004950I've never really used gloves for much other than sharp pokey stuff or hot work, so the leather gloves are ideal for me. I've tried some mechanics type gloves before but they got burned up real quick with grinding/welding sparks. If a job is real messy like mixing paint, bedliner, or messing with fiberglass resin I will throw on some of those 9mil nitrile gloves from harbor freight.
Cheapest nitrile coated gloves you can find for 90% of jobs, buy the 10 pack for $10. Good dexterity, don't get torn by rough surfaces, when they wear out you only paid $1 a pair. It works well for stonework. All the heavy duty fabric gloves kept getting torn up in a few weeks.
>>3005377This man works. Also have a rag on hand for drying your hands between glove swaps. Nitrile gloves are a bitch to swap after you've built up sweat.

I want to apply a cosmetic patch to my jacket. I believe the patch is iron on. The problem is that the jacket itself is a cheap polyester puffer. How would I go about doing this? Is it even possible? Picrel, its the jacket.
>>3005298>>3005726Funny, have a Columbia jacket I was looking to do that to for ages, but never got to actually do it; my idea was to get an embroided logo made off AliExpress, and even got the period appropriate svg logo, but I like the velcro patch idea
easy, iron the patch on like normal but be slow. use a super low iron setting and put a thin fabric between the iron and the jacket/patch like a dish towel to further reduce the heat. only iron the area of the patch, not like a wide radius around it
>>3006025also no steam
>>3005298using a iron on low (without steam) on polyester is fine, I did it on setting 2/3 and it didn’t burn anything and melted the fusible web for the felt fine.just don’t expect it to remain on, I sewed the felt on mine after using the appliqué glue to keep it in place.
Liquid stitch. You are welcome.

diy anons i present you with a small problem. im trying to use this 4mm thick, metal pipe clamp as an lnb holder for my satellite dish. the internal diameter of this clamp is 60mm, while the lnb is only 40mm, so it can't be fitted secured around the lnb.there are two methods that i thought of:one: is wrapping something around the lnb (leather or felt) to make it thicker, or two: drill into the top metal plate and use an m6 or m8 bolt and a set of nuts to press onto the lnb from the top at the risk of breaking it. maybe i could add a smoother cap nut but it would reduce friction.is there a better way?
>>3004656I would reduce the inner diameter by modifying the clamp. It would include a vise, some heat, a hammer, quenching oil, etc. But I think leather/PVC spacers will do it if I'm not bothered to do so much work.
>>3004629I wrench anything from aircraft on down, weld and have a home machine shop. Many years ago I got some great advice from my (retired rich and still gets money from selling his machine shop, which is in a highly competitive business):Don't waste valuable effort making what you can buy at trivial cost, or buy a thing closer to what you want at trivial cost. Use Google Lens or whatever to hunt the clamp you want or something very close. You will learn the highly useful skill of how to search for parts! That's more complex than it seems even with AI, and is a key reason I did so well running military and civilian tool rooms. The tool and equipment-fu has real power.
>>3005926Absolutely! I do electronics repair as a hobby, so I'm used to hunting for parts, reading through datasheets, and looking for matching alternatives for the part i need (transistors, regulators.. etc) to fix the thing.My problem however is lack of availability, and I hate the return / re-order process so much. In this case, drilling through it achieved the desired result.
>>3005654yeah let me fire up my 50k$/year copy of ansys and model a feed horn based on this picture alone.they wouldn't be on something mass produced unless they were necessary. however, necessary for everyone doesn't necessarily mean necessary for you, if you are in a good signal area and clear of outside interference you might get away with cutting a little, but as well as rejection it also is for matching the different down freq. so again, depends on what channels you want to catch.if you can afford it, then maybe try it slowly and check what it looks like under heavy rain fade.
>>3005972i didn't cut the radial pegs, but instead removed the outer wall around them (exposing the pegs without an outer wall) = 0% signal quality and a ruined lnb. i bought this to experiment with in the first place, but sad to learn it this way.
I have one of these but it's stuck because of rust and dust. Is there something I can use of its joins to make it move again (apart from WD40 which didn't work)?
Soak down with WD40, bump back and forth with a rubber mallet.I'm assuming those sleeves were welded in place with the upright part in place so it's not able to be disassembled
>>3005055Use an actual penetrating oil. Kroil, PB Blaster, Liquid Wrench, or, if you have some on hand, mix up some ATF and acetone. Spray the shit on, make sure it is out of the sun, maybe even cover it with some plastic so it doesn't evaporate, and come back in a couple of hours.
>>3005055Tap on those sleeves around the outside with a ball-pein hammer. The impact will help break up the corrosion bond. Once it starts wiggling a bit, move it back and forth over and over again while soaked in WD-40 until you get full range of motion.
Do what the others have said, but once it's moving don't end with the penetrating oil. Pack some grease into the joints (use a spray can maybe) so it doesn't seize back up again. Penetrating lubricants evaporate.

>>3002493Fellow floor layer and LAX user. I moved to AUS where the only snap blade knives are disposable junk and literally everyone is using stanley types. It's fucking unbearable watching people sharpening or changing blades all day long...>>3002523These are kinda a personal preference depending on the work you do. Anything where you're brute force gripping it you can accidentally unlock it, which is why I have the one >>3002493 shows for cutting and tucking. I have the quickie one for pretty much everything else. You can also perfectly control cut depth when you need it.>>3001655I can snap in about 1 second on my boot with one hand, and if you want you can get a belt accessory that you snap into to hold the wasted blade frags.>>3002102You can scrape with an olfa snap blade as long as you've snapped at least once. The snap lines are laser cut and have a perfect 90 degree edge on the perforation side. It's a lot smaller than a stanley blade, but works perfectly at it's smaller size.You can get hook blades, sawblades, etc. They make over 60 different knives, and then there's all the other cutters after that. If you're doing literally any task that dulls a blade you should be using an olfa or a knockoff of one. If you have a specialized task that does require a unique blade style then get gud at sharpening that wierd shape.
Whats with all the short blade knifes?This is what i use, and nothing else.

I'm a cabinet maker looking to make a workshop for woodworking, metalworking, and some basic electronics. I have nothing in the space right now but I have a bunch of cabinets and a bench top ready if that's the best use of the space. What and how should I fill the area? How should it be organized?
>>3004912>Where the fuck is the CNC or lathe coming fromthe op description >cabinetmakerhere in burgerland that implies at least a semi commercial entity with equipment to handle volume panel goods like a holz her sliding table scoring saw and a timesaver sander and a hot edgebander and a cnc router with a vac table that can hold minimum 2 full sheets and enough in/outfeed room for each etcscrewing ikea shit together in your garage is hardly fine woodworking
>>3004789>>3004916I see. I'm a cabinet maker(at work), I'd like to have a place where I can make fun stuff like pic related. I only mention the cabinet maker part because I have access to a bunch of free cabinets that I can fill the area with. I don't think that's the best use of space so I made this thread.
>>3004917More fun stuff to make.
>>3004918Probably don't need a laser cutter CNC for something like this.
Here's what I have so far. I used the 800mm cabinets because I have 6 wire frame drawers that fit behind regular doors. I'd prefer using the 600mm cabinets but I think drawers that don't hold dust would be better than an open shelf cabinet.Cabinets I can get for very cheap due to minor damage:Base: 150mm, 4x600mm, 450mm, Wall : 800mm, 2x300mm.Special cabinets: 300mm(h) x 300mm(d) x 900mm(w)
I feed ducks at a local pond daily. About 2000 calories worth of soaked pigeon feed.I plan on harvesting one of the ducks every couple weeks to maintain the ecological balance. Are there any hunters here thwt have tips for killing and preparing a duck in the scenario i described? I have no way of hanging the duck somewhere to ripen so my plan is adapting a chicken soup recipe and relying on a long cooking time to make the meat tender.
>>3001698KEK @ those tabs. Perfection.
>>3003901I will never not laugh hysterically at this picture
>>3001585At least dont hide behind ecological balance if you want free duck meat for fucks sake. You're overinflating the economy to justify snatching one when you feel like it.
Don't eat animals for food that lived their lives that proximate to humans. They can carry weird diseases.
>>3001658Duck blood soup is actually delicious, so definitely hang it over a bucket. It's a traditional Polish dish and the blood acts like a thickener in a weird way, kinda like egg does.But yes the meat itself is fatty, not much point using that in soup.
Is it possible to build something like this with just $100k?
>>3005543honestly doesnt sound that bad
>>3005677Yeah. It is called the Oklahoma panhandle. Oh, and that bit in Africa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bir_Tawil>Good I hate peopleIt is an interesting thing. I've lived in the boons and I've lived stacked like wood. Both suck. I now live in a nice smaller city, on a 1/4th acre lot and it is fucking perfect. I have good windows so I almost never have any noise, I don't lock my doors, everyone knows the names of everyone else's dogs, there's a school in walking distance (no pedophiles!), grocery stores too, services, etc. 'People' suck but good people are great.>I don't go to the doctor or hospital as it is and am ok with dying when the times comes.I've told the story here before so someone might remember but, when I was a younger man my brother and I tried to replace the sheet metal roof on a monitor barn. The nails holding the roof to the joists failed and their heads sheared off. We slid off like riding a surfboard and he got super fucked up in the fall. He landed on metal scraps and I landed on him. He was poked full of holes, had a rack of broken ribs, and was bleeding all over. Of course, the rest of the family was in town in the only vehicles that could go more than 25 miles per hour so Wonder Dust and duct tape held him together until we could get him checked out. If he had broken his back or punctured a lung that would have been fucking it but it would have taken a long, long time to die and it would have hurt the whole time. On a full working farm? Fuck son. I've had neighbors die because a fucking pig decided it didn't like the look you gave it that day and they just couldn't stop the bleeding. Bleeding out in the passenger seat of a F-150 as your wife is driving it 200 miles to the nearest anything ain't a way I want to go.>Driving an hour or two to CostCo once or twice a month isn't that badAh, see that is the thing. If a CostCo is only two hours away you are not in the boons. Try it when the nearest paved road is 2 hours a way.

>>3005910> in less than an hourOn what, a jet? The whole deal with being in bumfuck nowhere is that there is NOTHING anywhere near you. It is REMOTE. If you are an hour from somewhere you aren't in bumfuck nowhere. That's 75 miles at highway speeds. That isn't even far enough to get out of the light pollution of a decent sized city. 75 fucking miles. I know people that commute to work a longer distance than that.
