Perhaps all intelligence is an imitation, therefore artificial.

Make that door 18 foot wide. You will not regret it.

To discuss the root of the problem: “I used AI to create a video people watched that sounds like it’s rooted in fact.” … eh. The most harm this in particular could do is make people state opinions and baseless assumptions as facts. I had a buddy send one to me about tools, and it didn’t sound...

I call it my “beer perch.” The cat has since claimed it.

I didn’t like any of the options: I need the ceiling open for access, lighting, and a vent pipe when we light a fire do various reasons, which rules out a traditional panel door. Plus, the widths and heights exceed what I would reasonably expect those panel styles to withstand. Roll up doors are...

The flexzilla is garbage. Junk. Don’t get it. Flexzilla makes the best hose in the world, it’s fantastic stuff. The enclosed hose reels with the Flexzilla “legacy” brand on it you get from tractor supply are utterly trash. I had two. Used about 30-50 hours a week. No complaints on the hose...

I’m back. Chatted with the boys over at Smokstak, and they’re confident I can do everything I need with 2 tons of lifting. Home Depot sells one for $1200 or so (link removed, it wasn’t working). It’s a junky import crane, but I’m not using this daily. I could get a decent 2ton chain fall for...

A word on wooden benches: I posted a photo of these earlier. You see that bottom board? I built that in because I thought I needed it. Seemings how 99.8% of all tables and benches don’t have a bottom shelf, I converted to four legs: Which is great. Easier to move, I can stick my little...

This thread took off while I wasn’t looking, haha. I bought a Bambu labs and got started: We made socket organizers too, but I’ll be reprinting them shorter. I’m a degreed engineer with CAD, but boy it’s nice to just use someone else’s work and hit print.

So… the equipment is being installed in the same garage as the sub-panel or is this a new building we’re talking about? If you have room in that box for more circuits, put in more circuits. If you’re never going to run two tools at once, you just need more outlets, and it could just be one...

When I get crushed by the car because I’ve never heard of jack stands, I want it to be one and done because I’m standing under the car, not just crippled for life because it landed on my leg. Personal preference. Seriously though, they have those stand alone jacks that are essentially...

I’ve had a two post lift in my building for two years. My opinion: absolutely not. Portable transmission lifts aren’t that expensive, and the item dropped can just be rolled out of the way. If yo did a particular frame repair all the time, I’m sure you’ve already preordered one.

500 dollars?? 1200 dollars?? For socket organization? Yikes! Someone somewhere paid that. I’ll pop in again to this thread on Monday.

ISO 9999:2022 perhaps? “Assistive technology.” Non healthcare related handicap buttons? Beats me, but that sounds slightly related for door installers.

There’s ISO fish markets. For 9001 you need a quality manual and to pay someone to stare at it for a day. Even AS9100 isn’t terribly difficult.
