>I was skeptical of the battery powered machine but it works really well and cuts very precisely.

me too, but if its that good I might give it a try.

>>1407911
>my dad bought in the early 90s
best origin story for tools.

>he used to be a dealer.
mine collects weird ones, like a Biscuit Joiner, or a wood lathe, or vertical bandsaw.

>>1407713
>not a total shitheap
charred motor housing and flaming wire-smell tell me its too much work to bother.

>pro accuracy
probably not, but fairly reasonable accuracy without using a wrench to tighten/loosen the platform angle would be nice. most exact thing I make is break-down portable BDSM furniture for a little extra scratch sometimes, the long draw is good for angled overlap joints(what I call them, not sure what the technical term for them is)

mostly I like the slide/draw on one(had to sell my ancient arm-saw...) and a good protractor for repeatable angled cuts. saw the DeWalt 12" at my local tool-shrine and had to venerate it a little. now I want one, or a similar tool from a different brand..

HOW DO YOU CUT NIGGAS?
WITH WHAT DO YOU CUT?
DISCUSS CUTTING TOOLS AND TECH HERE GUYS.

and because everything has an agenda heres what I want to talk about.
I am thinking go buying one of these fancy compound saws. I like the regular miter saw I inherited(an old Delta), but the motor died.

I'm looking around at all the fancy new stuff out there and I figure you guys would have some experience about these things. what brand name, would you recommend if the biggest thing I expect to ever cut is a 4x4 but usually just 1 or 2 by 8s for regular projects. by 10s at irregular intervals.

it dulled the greys and whites. it mutes a lot of colors and brings down the gloss

it looks to me like the difference between a brand new whip and one that's been used to beat people for several years.

the wax makes it look grimy and less clean, like its had a run-in with too much skin-oil and sweat.

and a sexy beast it is. though I cant say I fully support how the waxing dulled the colors

>>1275406
not how this works, you gave up the shed and its contents.

this means I will be gassing the spiders at the start of the project.

all of them except Lucy who will be placed in a jar and carried with me while I trigger the bug-bombs and left to stare at the building....

see, a "cold" winter where I live dips into the 30s(ABOVE ZERO) for maybe a week at a time.

9-11 months out of the year we stay above 90.

and if you come down to my neck of the woods in the summertime unprepared you'd probably die. 100%+ relative humidity so sweat does less than nothing for you, winds blowing dusty grit all over, maybe 15 inches of precipitation of any kind all year.

and you have to get used to breathing part of your daily water ration with that humidity.

people joke about lazy mexicans because they don't live down here where you just stroke out and die without a break in the shade every so often.

>How did you deal with your increasing urge to buy a lathe?
by wanting a mill more?

>>1274145
nah no excess for me. merely a few fetishes

>>1274149
>wrist strap
nah. too much handle for that. but maybe a hanging eye or pic related built into the handle

I don't live with her anymore, I don't get her stories. all I have is my own, and those of people I hang out with.

like when someone got aggressive with their fire-cupping and lit themselves on fire(grain alcohol fire)

or zapping someones pacemaker battery with a Violet Wand(ultra high voltage static electricity generrator) cause they didn't do the full safety disclosure thing before playing.

I didn't have the box to look at.
and I actually knew that about climbing. OP is a gymnast, but I'm a climbing instructor.

at some point you should do some learning yourself, engineering in your case. thats regulation standard minimum in a lot of places.

the carabiners in my teaching tower are rated for 27 Kilo-newtons(6000+ pounds force) and thats standard for the Boy Scouts.

combine that with the mechanical loss of strength through a knot of 35-65% based on the knot you tie and internal shearing forces in the rope

that 10000 pounds is also calculated to a certain percentage of stretch per unit length in a dynamic line, and 5000 static is sort of the benchmark. combine that with the loss of mechanical strength through a knot of 35-65% based on the knot you tie(and how well you tie it) and internal shearing forces in the rope as it passes through anchor-points, shear-blocks, itself, etc.

>my province's regulation
they are also the standards of the BSA

>province
Canada?
I never did climbs on ice or snow. it only snows about once every 20 years here. any fun shit to tell, horror stories, words of Eskimo wisdom??

>>1271539
>Were those all your accidents?
yup

having learned from them I now teach things like how to check stability in your equipment, as well as other safety procedures. experience teaches reasonably well.

>>1271540
yup.

1.) girl thrashed so hard she tipped over the device she was chained to

2.) Hitachi induced orgasm powerful enough to induce muscle spasms, spasms that put her foot into my testicles

3.) caught someone in the face with the back-swing on a whip because they didn't respect personal space.

>>1268311
thus why I ask here.

>>1269585
>>1269582
are they that unreliable straight-pull?

how do they handle shear loads?

>>1269761

one of those lived in my dad's old shop, called him Jack

>>1269368

I sometimes wish they'd implement all the cross-board features through the whole of 4chan
like Dice from /tg/ and /qst/
spoilers from the gaming reading and watching boards(image AND text).
can you imagine what the in-built art features of /i/ could do for help and tutorials here?

>>1268094
whats the story on that?

>>1268140
your best bet is to just look at it and improvise.

that, and make a Jig
a couple of C-clamps on a 2"x4" is all you really need, but its WAY BETTER than having nothing.

for that matter, jigs and JigBoards are crazy useful in all cordage-crafts.

>>1268054
at least /diy/ has youtube-able things...

/tg/ actually doesn't for the most part
if I want to ask someone about a rules conflict I have no recourse but to ask my fellow neckbeards, or the official message boards.
