I have one of those. A radio shack remnantThis has been the Standard for wire holding for decades for Electronic techs. This one was made by Xacto, Others make them too:
That's low key genius. I dont have any copper nails, maybe I can strip a hunk of 8G i have laying around.This is what I copied from Eric O...
I need to add a few pieces of heat shrink tubing on mine to the alligator jaws to protect the wire insulation from being pierced...
FYI, its still raining. (ok, got a break part of today, but its coming back)
The old Red can of flammable CRC was the best but hard to find now, they non chlorinated, non flammable in the Green can and non flammable, chlorinated in the Red can, neither as good as the old flammable stuff.
That will work
I think the "portability" of it will come in handy when it's not convenient to do the soldering work on a table / benchtop...
I can have two independent sound tracks in my editing program--Davinci Resolve. I can have one recorded via the awful mic on the camera--and already synced to the video--and one via the wireless. Any good sound--like a clap--and I can then line up the two using the sound level graph and then delete the one recorded on-camera.
That's what I have.
The flammable stuff with the “PowerJet” nozzle is ever so much fun when used as a flamethrower. Or so I was told…
An actuator bracket broke on a Lazy Boy power recliner, so I did what any man card holder would do. I used a chain hoist to get the base unit up onto a work table, removed the bracket for tig welding, and then used it again as a helping hand to hold the foot rest at an exact point to get a piece of the mechanism aligned during reassembly. It got used one more time to load the base onto the Carryall for the return trip back to the house. Disassembling and reassembling one of those mechanisms alone with all the pieces and linkages is akin to a monkey trying to screw a football on a wet tree limb. I did get a good supper as a show of appreciation for my efforts though.
Wow! That one's heavy duty, mine was all plastic.Saw this Huffy Big Green Machine at a yard sale this afternoon, $10. The tire was flat and it had been left outside. I put a patch on the inner tube, lubed the bearings and adjusted the brake. Hit all the joints with PB Blaster. The seat adjustment fastener was frozen. Drilled it out, used a new fastener and two fender washers. My 9 and 5 year old grandkids will be here a lot over the summer. They have bikes here but this should be fun as well.
Never argue with success is my motto!
I have to be fair and say that my mechanical Lazy Boy recliners through the years have been fine. My wife’s power recliner gets treated a bit unfairly because of a 65 lb dog that thinks the foot board makes a fine lookout spot to be near his mama, and launches up there if given the chance. She likes it, he likes it, I’m the retired maintenance machinist here, so I fix broken chairs and she cooks.
Why'd you make it if it has no use to you?Going to call this complete. My rendition of how it would have come from the factory. Painted frame and blued screw.
I have almost no use for it. If someone wants to trade, let me know.
For the fun of it?
And it’s always easier to find a reason NOT to do something.
Too early for a beer? What sort of blasphemy is this you speak of?
Hung up some new “no fire” bottles.
Now trying to figure out how to get rid of the old ones. Garbage says they’re hazmat. Hazmat collection says they don’t take fire extinguishers.
Spray them into the woods, knock the head off with an axe or sledge, then puncture them with a pickaxe. Then you can drop them at the recycler's.Hung up some new “no fire” bottles.
