That wasn't me, that was some other Anon.

Anyway, I do have some good news: My sheer ineptitude has saved me the same way it betrayed me. Because I don't know what I'm doing, none of my coins wound up shiny. In fact, a lot of them are somehow dirtier than when I started, covered in water marks and random copper patches. Even some of the copper ones are somehow as dark and dull as they'd have been just sitting under the couch cushion for 12 years.

Out of roughly 100 coins, only about a dozen of them are fucked - mostly from some weird discoloration that I don't understand because they have that sort of rainbow tint to them, like when you heat metal up to several hundred degrees.

Crisis averted, maybe? I can post pics later if anybody wants to see how much I fucked up multiple times over.

Thanks all, based on the feedback this is what I'm thinking:
- dig down to expose more trunk
- use loppers to cut off the branches up to the first 12' or so, just the wood I most want to protect
- clear out a track for the tree to fall onto
- lasso the tree as high up as I can and use a pully/come-along attached to another tree to get a favorable lean
- chainsaw 1/3 of the way into the falling side to prevent splintering
- hammer in wooden wedges if the tree pinches the saw
- straight cut from the other side to meet the first cut and jump away, hoping I did enough to protect those first 12'

I worry about the falling tree snapping when it lands since it's dead and maybe brittle, but cutting off the top of the tree to avoid this seems like more risk/bother than I want to take on.

Anyways, I forgot to describe the plan in the OP but depending on what the wood looks like I want to make some furniture with it. Starting from the bottom up:
- take a 3" slice from the very bottom, I think that could look good hung up on the wall if finished properly.
- the next 2' of the bottom would be a stool or side table
- the next 8' or so would be split vertically and used as a book shelf with the gnarled bottom part made to look like the shelf is growing out of the floor
- then everything above that would be used for carving material, maybe shaving the exterior of the wood and carving figures with the pink heartwood

Not him, but I live in Florida and we do this. Had one get out of control and wound up in the local paper after the fire department, department of forestry, and sheriff's department showed up. Pretty sure the power company got involved as well. Shit was fire

I'm not in the position to file down a guitar
I can do woodwork but I don't have the tools at hand
I used a drill and multiple drill bits with a wood screw and bolt to make a knob at the bottom of the guitar so I can hookup the stretch band

I have a drill an assortment of drill bits and file bits

Talk about sewing, show off your work, and ask questions, if you're new to sewing don't hesitate to ask questions.

We all started someplace. We will try to answer them the best we can.

If you have something to post, add it down below

Post you're Christmas work erryone!

I just got done putting a new nozzle and filters on... last time I had it done I fuckin told the guy to flush out the oil line and the dickhead just wouldn't fuckin listen or stop arguing... well i took that fucker off and left like a quart drain into a jug and guess what there's like a dime sized blob of shit in there...

Nice story... that's a pretty good idea... I've heard of people using a shop vac to do things like change a bad valve or hose on diesel tanks and if they are only pulling vapors and not exploding I imagine you were perfectly safe

OK so a few years back I ran my oil tank empty and now I'm having sludgy issues clogging my nozzle... last time I got oil they filled from a little more than a quarter tank so idk how the shits still getting mixed in but whatever...
What can I do to try and remedy this? What's the best shit I can pour in to break up the garbage...
Do I just not run my furnace for a few days after I get oil so the shut settles out of suspension?
What do? My plan is to keep a set of filters and a nozzle on top of the furnace so when it dies again I can be up and running again right away
Also I've Ben just buying oil from the cheapest supplier.. could this be the problem? Like should I only buy from a good oil supplier or doesn't it matter?
