>90% of construction, car repair, and home maintenance is just screwing shit into other shit
WHAT THE FUCK
>>
Yeah duh, we don't have Eridian molecular glue technology.
>>
>>2944074
A lot of times you have to drill the holes to screw the shit into/onto the other shit, or make brackets/adapters in order to screw the shit to the other shit...
>>

Ain't it screwy?
>>
>>2944074
wrench is a great filter
>>
>>2944074
wait until you find out most manufacturing just boils down to drilling holes in the right spot for your screws
>>
>>2944074
Not my designs, I use taper pins and wedges to secure shit

Threaded fasteners are for cucks

Rolled threads vs cut threads vs beautiful design vs strength

I hate threads because string threads with non stripable heads isn’t going to be pretty

Cut threads and recessed cap heads gorgeous but prone to stripping

Enter taper pins and wedges
Gorgeous designs beautiful finishes easy assembly guideways to mating surfaces rather than than trying to finger fuck your way to an assembly like a high school prom limo ride

Screwing things is a very old custom. It offers many advantages.. metal parts and be bolted together at a very specific torque so they dont come undone. Its kinda ingenious. Its fuckin nuts.

yep
in 100 years they will find the remains of our society and think we were obsessed with screw threads and spirals, that we worshipped the drill and the nut and bolt.

Hello my fellow electricians

>>2944074
Wait till this guy finds out that you can just stamp a sheet of metal a bunch of times and create whatever you want. They don't want you to know this

And even then,
>The laser (out of the 11 we have) is cutting 0.015" away from where we expect it to be.
>Okay, can we fix the laser, calibrate the toolpath generator to compensate, or use a different laser?
>No, make your hole 0.030" bigger in CAD.

almost all fixing is taking it apart, cleaning it and putting it back together. the rest is replacing a bad part.
>>
>>2944125
What is the secret to drilling holes in things? I had to drill a bunch of holes in 3/8ths plate for a project and that shit sucked. I spent hours watching a drill bit slowly chew its way through them. Do manufacturers have special fast drill bits that I can't have or is it that slow for them too?

Dude, I almost posted this a week ago in this thread. 95% of fixing anything is cleaning stuff up I swear.

Push harder, use some high sulfur cutting oil, and spin the bit fast enough, but not too fast or you'll burn it up.

You're a silly one
>>2944265
Just saw a nuclear power plant for the first time with my wife in IL. Really awesome. The whole thing was a giant water fall.
>>2945323
It really is. But then I always go and break it while cleaning it and it really does need a fix.
>>2944074
At least 70% of construction, car repair, and home maintenance is just knowing what you're doing.
>>
>>2946004
>just knowing what you're doing
thank god for youtube. i know books used to exist, and still do, but there's no replacing being able to watch a 15 minute video or two of an expert teaching and doing the project you're about to undertake
>>
>construction
If only. Here in the EU it boils down to smearing slop onto bricks and waiting for it to dry up. But I can't into slop, you have to use the correct water ratio and waste so many buckets and there are 1000 different ones for different purposes. I need to get a romanian guy to teach me the ways

Hydraulic punch press.

10% if following code, and having a dick ass inspector passing you or failing you on the most trivial shit.
